If you can figure out how to edit infoboxes at the moment, with all of the wikicode that's needed, then you'll find editing them through Wikidata a bit simpler. ;-) In the long run, hopefully Wikidata editing can be done directly from Wikipedia. But for my canonical example of a Wikidata infobox: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pole_Telescope Have a look at how the data is stored at: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1513315 Hopefully you'll agree it's clearer than wikicode, and the way to edit the info is a bit clearer.
