Topic on Talk:Structured Data Across Wikimedia

When I first saw the MediaWIki announcement, my thoughts went over to weather charts. I foresaw a two-level product. The top level woudl be the general code for a weather chart and the lower level would be charts for specific localities. Thus, if I am using a small Wikipedia, I would ensure that the upper termplate was compatible with my language and I could then call up the weather chart with a simple call such as {{weather|la|Rome}} would include the weather chart for Rome in latin (provided of course that someone had generated the Rome chart in the first place).

Was I on the right track here?

Hi @Martinvl! Unfortunately, I don't think we can help you there. Your idea is good, if you ask me, but it's not in the scope of this project. What you're planning is something more along the lines of a combination of Wikidata + the Global templates initiative, but SDAW would not do any good to your proposal. It would help on the fringes of your idea, maybe. Sorry for the bummer. :(

@Sannita (WMF): : Thank you for yoru reply. I feared as much, but I felt that it was worth a try. Martinvl (talk) 16:53, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
