Description

Many Wikipedias use template:Infobox book that contains metadata
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5858283

However this is stored on wiki, and not on wikidata. Ideally a new template should use the work/edition distinction and fetch the data from Wikidata, according to the fields defined on
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Books

Ideally this data should also be used by Wikisource and eventually by Commons.

The current lua modules can call the pertinent data into templates, so not understanding why another module makes a difference, or improvement.

I believe this is nothing the Wikidata team can do at the moment. Can you please edit and clarify the description?

@Micru: This task is not invalid ("when the problem is not a bug, or when it is a change that is outside the power of the component's developers") until there are specific reasons provided.

It was the author of this task who closed it.
The task description was not very specific and actionable to begin with.
This is something the Wikisource community can better manage on-wiki. I don't think they need this ticket to be able to do what the task asks for.
