I agree with Nemo. Please see my message written in January 2013 that demonstrates the
problem (except it's worse because Wikidata is populated with more contents now than
in January)

What if this interface would exist? I believe it
could be made really
quickly and easily.
It's not about interface only, for instance the search backend is
completely broken and useless for Wikidata, AFAICS.
From what I understand, the interface for Wikidata data is provided by
client sites such as Wikipedia. There are no plans for inclusion of
Wikispecies as client site, but if/when Wikispecies' needs are
implemented this doesn't imply Wikispecies would be useless, rather that
it would have easier access to data and could focus on its scope i.e.
presenting such data. Currently it tries to do both and IMHO fails at both.

P.s.: There are also connected problems like sv.wiki becoming a
Wikispecies/Wikidata on its own with a million species bot-entries, but
it's another story.
