Good work with the person infobox.

We have the new Template:Infobox_person/Wikidata on
around 150 articles
on cywiki, which was added a few days agor. See:
https://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldous_Huxley
and it works a treat; Mike Peel helped us a few weeks ago. Thanks
Mike! Mike's South Pole Telescope was our first, which we copied on cywiki
following last year's AGM at Birmingham.
The automatic taxo box is also on all 10,000 living bird articles and
another 7,000 on female biogs, thanks to our wiki group at my home town of
Ruthin. Altogether there are 17,000 articles taking live feed from
Wikidata. And then of course we have Wikidata Lists (kept up to date using
Lysteria) in mainspace articles...

If you are still getting issues purge the page.
Thanks. Now fixed.

This template is for use in infoboxes. It links to property P856
(official website) at Wikidata to retrieve the website and displays in
the same way as {{URL}}.

There has been some discussion on Facebook (and elsewhere?) about the
current trend to feed data from Wikidata directly in Wikipedia's Infoboxen.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/WikidataCommunity/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_person/Wikidata
Usage:
{{infobox person/Wikidata | fetchwikidata=ALL}}
I have suggested on Facebook that this might be putting a Infobox
editing beyond the reach of certain people, like me. I have yet to start
editing Wikidata.
If you can figure out how to edit infoboxes at the moment, with all of the
wikicode that's needed, then you'll find editing them through Wikidata a
bit simpler. ;-) In the long run, hopefully Wikidata editing can be done
directly from Wikipedia.
But for my canonical example of a Wikidata infobox:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pole_Telescope
Have a look at how the data is stored at:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1513315
Hopefully you'll agree it's clearer than wikicode, and the way to edit the
info is a bit clearer.
Thanks,
Mike
