The work of
many artists is represented in
Commons. Having great information available for all of them is a
Herculean job. Having all that information and more available in all the languages that are supported by the Wikimedia Foundation is very much an aspiration.. Once Commons is wikidatified, all information needs to be understood in all our languages..
France Prešeren is one of 13,481 people who currently have a
Creator template and are known as such in
Wikidata. All the data in those templates can be harvested and included in an Wikidata item. For all the templates NOT known in Wikidata, an item can be found or created to make them known in Wikidata as well.
A lot is already known about Mr Prešeren in Wikidata and much of that data can be expressed in multiple languages. The same can be said for the Creator template itself; as you can see, the template already shows its labels in multiple languages. With Wikidata we can show the information in all our languages as well.
Realising this will introduce the Commons community in a positive way and reduce one obstacle that needs to be overcome during the wikidatification of Commons.
Thanks,
