Hi all,
We’ve just reached a milestone with the deployment of Wikidata Infoboxes in Wikimedia Commons categories: there are now over 3 million uses! [1] These infoboxes are completely multilingual, and they automatically expand as more information is added to Wikidata.
(I think enwp has around 3.4 million infoboxes [2], which we’re getting close to - does any other Wikipedia have more?)
Thanks, Mike

Wohoooo! Congratulations to you and everyone who helped make this happen to improve Commons. As for are there other wikis who use more: https://wmdeanalytics.wmflabs.org/WD_percentUsageDashboard/ says cebuano, english and swedish have more articles in the main namespace still that make some use of Wikidata's data - not necessarily infoboxes. Also keep in mind that the number for Commons doesn't take into account the category namespace so the numbers are significantly too low.
Cheers Lydia
Truly wonderful. And the underlying tools have been useful even more widely... thank you for sharing the milestone.
