The ui (user interface) introduced by the Wikibase extensions used by Wikidata is separated into the clients and in the repositories ui. Both make use of JavaScript and AJAX massively. This will allow editing single aspects of data items separately and without any wiki markup. As a fall-back and alternative there will also be a JavaScript-less ui.
