Information Technology

From Void:

Sorry for the late response. To be quite honest, I'm not too sure where to begin with something like this. I would suggest with starting on the basic structure of the template. Basically, what groups of information do you want to display, and how do you want to break them up. The next step would therefore be actually putting the information into the structure. When working with different languages, is an acceptable solution, but I am unsure of how interfacing with Wikidata works. I'd imagine that it would involve some method of fetching remote data, but I don't know how exactly that would work. In this case, it would probably be helpful to know what information needs to be fetched from where.

Cheers. --Void
