Instructions for template developers

The template Infobox telescope prototype invokes Module:Wikidata and Module:WikidataBridge.

Does this mean that every wiki that wants to use Wikidata Bridge will have to a have wiki pages with these modules?

More generally, how will templates on various wikis be adapted to using Wikidata Bridge? Is there an existing instructions page?

Wikidata Bridge/Development/DocDrafts/How to Enable Wikidata Bridge for your Infobox is the draft for the instructions page; we’ll finish it up and move it out of “doc drafts” before the first version is released. All that matters to the Bridge is that the final HTML of the page matches the criteria listed on that page; for the showcase, we did that using an infobox template and two Lua modules, because we figured that’s roughly how it would work on e. g. English Wikipedia, but that’s not a requirement. Our browser tests, for example, create Bridge-enabled edit links (here) with plain wikitext, without involving any templates or modules.

Note that the “single best” pattern are extremely rare in a person-related infobox, it does exist for infoboxes with office positions, but there it should really use the last value from time series and not “preferred”.

At nowiki we don't use postal code or category in the infoboxes, they are used as examples in Topic:Vlrzy9sw6ownhafs. I do see the need to start simple, but this isn't very useful.
