Hi Markus and All,
Looking forward to when further parts of this Wikidata-Wikipedia bridging puzzle comes together - and re Wikipedia Info Boxes and Wikidata Items (https://www.wikidata.org/
While this templates' approach may find best form in MediaWiki (so visual editor et al), I have in mind this central World University and School SUBJECT TEMPLATE - http://worlduniversity.wikia.
Wikipedia info boxes may be the answer to this Templates' approach - by building in differentially developing Wikipedia info boxes for their relative ease of use with structured data/Items into Templates for use in new ways. I'm thinking here about what's ahead with voice for Wikidata, and how I might be able to say (in Android currently) to my phone "please add this link to "regional languages in Germany" to the Germany Wikipedia information box with its links to Wikidata items here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
I'm wondering further, thinking ahead, re info boxes and the WUaS SUBJECT TEMPLATE +, whether it might be possible to turn each "subsection" in WUaS into a kind of dedicated Wikipedia info box <> Wikidata items ... and anticipate both voice, head sets and SQL. Are these some logical next steps in this puzzle coming together, Markus and All?
As the pieces of the puzzle come further together, the beauty of a "templates approach" offering specialization of info boxes (re accessing https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/
Thank you for these great Wikidata and Wikipedia projects - now in all 358 languages of Wikipedia.
Cheers, Scott

If an easy-to-use Citation Reference Toolbar form emerges as you'd like in a Wikipedia infobox proposal, Erika (and Wikidatans), I wonder, and am asking how, in general, it could code for all 358 languages in Wikipedia/Wikidata with translation (and anticipate all 8k languages with unicode eventually)? Also how could folks write apps on this to create referencing programs for a academic papers (e.g. in the Chicago Manual of Style style, or the American Chemical Engineering citation style - or in similar styles in Japanese or Swedish? - there are possibly 10s of thousands of these citation styles in many languages in many academic disciplines).

... all in a little info box bridge between wiki and wikidata ... 'tis a lot to ask of a little info box :)
Thanks,
Scott

I think its important to make a distinction between what is easiest and what people are used to. Perhaps thinking about what new users would find easiest might be helpful.
Here is an example of a well developed infobox on English Wikipedia, I think that the knowledge needed to edit this is an unreasonable barrier for casual, new or even fairly experienced if less technical editors like myself.

Here's the link to see the above
U.K. info box - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom
(and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_United_Kingdom)
- and compare it with the following, if interested -
Germany Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany
(and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Germany)
India Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India
(and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_India).

Thanks, J, E, and Wikidatans,
As an experiment with Android voice on my smartphone, I just said to the rectangular object in my hand: "Please add the languages of the United Kingdom Wikipedia page to the info box for the United Kingdom Wikipedia page" and at the top of the list on my smartphone arose this link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_the_United_Kingdom - which is cool, but no further digital actions occurred after this.
I'm excited for the time when Wikipedia info boxes will do this with both voice and brain wave headsets, and wonder when this might occur (per this Stanford Engineering Tweet of Jeff Dean - https://twitter.com/StanfordEng/status/760571959402909697 - which I posted here - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch - also on August 2nd).
Thank you.
Scott
