Wikidata is now used in millions of infoboxes across the Wikimedia projects. This round table will bring together people that have been developing and implementing these infoboxes, in order to discuss their benefits and challenges, and future opportunities to improve the infoboxes and to use them across more languages and projects. The panel will be moderated by Andrew Lih, and will include:
