Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Wikidata Phase 2

There are two points discussed here and while the line between them is not entirely clear, there is nevertheless agreement that:

• It is appropriate to modify existing infoboxes to permit Wikidata inclusion when there is no existing English Wikipedia data for a specific field in the infobox (option 4 of the first question). There is sufficient support for option 3 however, to indicate that this modification should be done carefully and deliberately, at least at first.
• It is, on the other hand, not appropriate to use Wikidata in article text on English Wikipedia at this time (option 1 of the second question). There is a valid point raised that while running text is clearly not suitable for Wikidata use, it might be worth discussing use in tables specifically – but not consensus regarding this has been reached in this discussion.

Wikidata's Phase 2 deployment to English Wikipedia will occur on April 22, 2013; it has already occurred on 11 projects, and will be deployed on all other Wikipedias April 24. We need to think about if or how we will make use of the work of this sister project and how we want to interact with it now, and in the future. It should be noted, as well, that once Phase 2 deployment takes place, it will be technically possible for editors to use Wikidata's data anywhere in an article, not just the infobox; only the project's social conventions will determine whether or not any use of Wikidata's data within article text or in infoboxes is acceptable. - Risker (talk) 07:39, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
