But due to legacy, many of the infoboxes still use manual values.
This analysis tool allows seeing the wikidata behind articles through the lens of the infoboxes.
It will detect if expected fields are missing in the wikidata, or if they are manually set on the article that uses the template.
It will detect if expected fields are missing in the wikidata, in which case the values are often manually set inside the article.
Infoboxes are interesting, as there are these two things to check.
Analysis on an entire wikidata item is out of scope.
As articles in other languages are created, someone might also extend the wikidata entry.
That means that fields that were previously set manually, could now be updated to use wikidata.
So this tool can be used to analyze the used infobox template, to see which values are now present or are still missing in wikidata.
It offers an easier side-by-side comparison than going through all wikidata properties manually, as it looks only at the properties used by the infobox.
Infoboxes are interesting, and there could be plenty more to check.
But the aim of this tool is to be simple, to be used alongside the editor of wikipedia.
Analysis on an entire wikidata item is out of scope for this tool.
