Lydia, could you please point me to the discussion on
*English Wikipedia*
where the community indicated an interest in deploying this software?
Infoboxes and sourcing to another website completely outside the control
of English Wikipedia is a rather big issue, and I would expect to see a
Request for Comment with at least 200-300 participants.
I think the issue we're seeing here is that changes, particularly large
changes, often aren't socialized well.
It probably doesn't help to target the English Wikipedia first, of course,
given that it's often annoyingly exceptional. Wikidata seems like a large
enough change that I agree that a bit more socialization might be nice.
There are over 700 wikis on which to possibly deploy Wikidata, in theory.
