Hey :) Some background information: Wikidata is a repository of structured information that gets fed into Wikipedia and many other places on the internet including Google search and Siri. The page Samuel created is an internal maintenance/overview page not for consumption by the general public but for the KDE and Wikidata communities to get an easy overview of what data is there, which needs expanding/correcting and what's missing. Hope that helps. We do want KDE's apps to be well-described in Wikidata.
