Infobox

The purpose of Wikipedia is not to list info without any discrimination. The infobox is for selected info, not all available info, which Wikidata is for. It's rarely meaningful to fill every field in an infobox even if there exist parameters for it on WD. I don't mind a WD infobox as a sloppy, temporary solution in stub articles, but it's never an improvement to use them to replace a manually written infobox.

That is one opinion, but it is not the only one. You can customize the Wikidata-generated infobox with "suppressfields" to show fewer items if desired, or to customize fields so they don't just take what is coming from Wikidata. So the point you make about "without any discrimination" isn't really the problem, because the mechanism exists. You can in fact discriminate, and you're encouraged to do so. Long term, it's unsustainable and undesirable to have all the information about paintings scattered about, replicated, inconsistent and full of gaps when Wikidata can solve these issues. Please refer to Template:Infobox_artwork/wikidata for more. In the meantime, I'll put in an infobox with fields hidden as an example. -- Fuzheado | Talk 07:55, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
