Description

MediaWiki.org should be a client of Wikidata.org, and have access to interwiki links and data access.

Use cases:

mw:Template:Tracked should link to Template:Tracked
Convert things like mw:Template:Extension to use structured data through Wikidata properties
- That data could then be used by Extension:ExtensionDistributor, among other things
- See task 48704 comment 33 as well

https://www.mail-archive.com/wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg03534.html was a brief discussion about it, Denny recommended using SMW, however that has previously been WONTFIXED.

Putting extension-related information into wikidata.org seems inappropriate though, the same way that putting metainformation about individual files from Commons onto wikidata.org is inappropriate. Maybe it should be a wikidata local-only repo?

I think it is fine on Wikidata itself.
Commons is different in so far that the local community demands a lot more control and that the amount of data is considerably larger.

Just to make sure, it has been moved one month since https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2015-September/007106.html (was linked to that in another ticket after asking this question), and you didn't just mistakenly replace October with November?
