Wikidata turns three years old on 29 October 2015: d:Wikidata:Third Birthday/Party

Since 2012 the main achievements have been:

  • import of links and data from Wikipedias
  • creation of over 15 million data pages (exact number depends how you count sparse ones)
  • large array of gadgets, tools and games supporting data entry work
  • many bots

  • export in infobox style, supported by Lua code, and advent of "arbitrary access" (import can mix items, roughly speaking)
  • front end applications such as Reasonator, Histropedia, Inventaire, Musikipedia ...
