The side bar of any famous person in Tamil wikipedia has the birthday of the person.
Example: https://ta.wikipedia.org/s/im6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagesh
Is there any way to notify this in the front/home page of the Tamil wikipedia ?
Just like a "Today in history" etc.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
I am very new to the wikidata.
Please explain little more on how to access the data in the sidebar to get details of the date using wikidata.

Me too.
Unfortunately I don't see a way to get this information any API query.
You can find someone's birthday, but I don't see a way to look for entities that are people (P735 -- personal name) with birthdays (P569).

An automated sidebar that includes any entities that have a significant date on todays day would be useful for small projects that dont want to spend lots of time building a hand-picked list.
E.g. The list on wikisources would have works published on the day of the year.

A half-way solution between automated sidebars and hand-picked lists: wikipage being updated by bot and a link to that page from sidebar. If the work for it is done, a template seems to be more useful than an "ordinary" page.
Thanks for the info friends.
I want to get the date info from the "infobox". not from the sidebar, as I told in my initial mail. Now only I knew about the sidebar. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Sidebar

This feature of Wikidata is still in progress, for the time being you can use Magnus's tool[1] to generate a list that a bot could use.

Hoi, There are many ways of doing this.. However, when you want this to work for you, it takes a big effort to make this happen. Long term you may have to do the least by using Wikidata. Thanks, Gerard
