As far as I understand, WikiData is about any item, not only about
things
that have an article in en.Wikipedia or any other Wikipedia. The
question
"What items may be included in WikiData" should be added to the WikiData
FAQ. I can think of a very broad definition: every thinkable thing or
object can
be included as item with its own page in WikiData if the thing is topic
of an
article in Wikipedia or in any other Wikimedia project (e.g. Wiktionary
or Wikisource) or if the thing is referenced in any of this articles.
This includes
for example:
- normal Wikipedia articles of any language
- things that are included as items in a list-of-X-article
- words (Wiktionary)
- digital objects (Commons)
- single pages from digitized books (Wikisource)
- publications used as references
Managing the vast number of items will only be possible with backlinks,
for
instance you can get the list of Wikidata items linked to or used in
some
selected Wikipedia article and you can get a list of items not used in
any
article for cleanup.
