Wikidata:Wikiquote

This is a draft, mostly set up by Sannita (talk • contribs • logs) and Nemo bis (talk • contribs • logs), about how Wikidata could provide support to Wikiquote.

Please use the discussion page to propose changes to this proposal.

Phase 1 (sitelinks) successfully launched on April 8 2014. Phase 2 (data access) was enabled on June 10 2014.

Status and scope of data access

Wikiquote now has access to the data available on Wikidata, including date of birth, date of death, occupation, etc., to support the four or so types of pages in the main namespace:

1. people,
2. creative works (literary works, films, TV shows...),
3. proverbs,
4. themes

(see e.g. q:en:Category:Fundamental, q:it:Categoria:Antologia, q:es:Categoría:Índice de categorías).

Phase 2 deployment explicitly excluded the usage of Wikidata to store the actual content of Wikiquote articles i.e. quotations; broader use cases are to be discussed at m:Wikidata/Notes/Future#Wikiquote and m:Structured Wikiquote.

For information on sitelinks, and support for non-main namespace pages, see the How to help page.
