There should be a quick link from each Entity (Items as well as Properties) to the internal JSON representation of that Entity. A "download the raw data of this entity" link. I think this could be a perfect starting point for curious users that aren't afraid of digging into the guts of the repo. Suggestion: The page https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q7716283&action=info should contain a link to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=wbgetentities&ids=Q7716283 An other, much more visible solution could be a link at the bottom of each page.
Ok to link in action=info. No for link at the bottom of each page.
I think we should have the canonical item URI on action=info. For Wikidata, that would be https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q123. Content negotiation applies, so this can be used for exporting too, but not easily via the browser (which will prefer, and get, html). In addtion, we could link to the JSON export (and perhaps also RDF and Turtle): https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q1.json etc.
Canonical item URL plus json, rdf and turtle sounds good to me.
