In hewiki we had a discussion in village pump before phase II deployment and there is a simple bureaucratic policy for converting templates to use the new {{#property}} feature: a discussion in "Wikipedia:Village pump/templates" for each template conversion before actually adding {{#property}} for it. (this "village pump for templates" was already exist to eliminate adding unnecessary extra parameters that were added without discussion) This way we can check that each conversion is both technically ok, use the correct properties from wikidata, and doesn't add unnecessary parameters.
We don't use yet the new features - as in the real world cases it isn't just {{#property}} and to enjoy the powerful features of wikidata we must use WikibaseClient Lua api, but we are in final phase of testing {{Taxobox}} (with no parameters at all. really cool!)
Thanks for sharing, Eran! Please do let me know when {{Taxobox}} is finished. I'd love to see it in use.
I would like to thank to Lydia and wikidata team - you are doing a great job.
Aww thank you. We're trying :)
Cheers Lydia
