Not right now, as far as I know.
Of course, two of the main use of arbitrary access are the possibility of retrieving * author metadata * book metadata
and use them where you need.
For example, Ricordisamoa is doing some experiment here: https://it.wikisource.org/wiki/Utente:Ricordisamoa/sandbox
Pay attention to the dates, and then go in Edit mode: you'll see that he put a "Wikidata" element, and in that the value is the Wikidata item for Alessandro Manzoni. This retrieves the birth date and death date from the item.
We could rewrite all our Author modules in Lua for authors, and put all our authors in Wikidata. That is probably the first thing we should do.

I'm wondering: In Wikisource, we use 3 different namespaces for a book
- Index: for the Index page |
- Page: for all the pages. | together, they make the "proofreading"
version of the book.
- ns:0 for the textual version.
As far as I know, there is no linking between all the pages that make a book. There is no "structure" that says "these are 320 Page pages linked to Index:BOOK.djvu".
Is that maybe something useful, that we want to address via Wikidata? Or was it the unused BookManager extension that Molly wrote two years
ago?

Regarding badges, I agree with Aubrey that we should reuse the current levels, not only for pages, but also for texts. From the usability
point of
view, I don't think that it is a good idea to use percentage numbers as badge labels, since the numbers are not descriptive, instead I would go
for:
- incomplete text
- not proofread
- proofread
- validated
Remember that a page can have more than two badges, so for instance a
book
with some missing pages could have been "validated" and be an
"incomplete
text". That is probably fine.
Any other comments? Or shall we apply for the wikisource badges already?
Thanks Micru

{{Authority control}} would be a good use case - we already have plenty of experience - and reusable code - in multiple Wikipedias.
Happy to advise further if needed.
Does {{Authority control}} use Wikidata arbitrary access ? (I don't
think
so… but not sure). Nonetheless, This template already exists on 8 Wikisources (according
to
Wikidata maybe some are missing) and works fine. It should
definitively be
use on all Wikisources.
The template Author could maybe benefit from Wikidata arbitrary access (again not sure, user:Rical works on Modèle:Auteur on fr.ws but I
can't
understand his coding) (by the way, is it normal/a good idea to have this template on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5615832 mixed with the wikipedia
infobox ?)
