Module:Wikidata/doc

This module is a draft of statement formatting tool for Wikidata

formatStatements

Allows to format statement(s) for a specific property of the item related to the current page (we can't access to the other items currently).

Parameters:

property

The id of the property like "p18". Uppercase, like "P18", is allowed too. Required.

separator

If there are several values for the same property, this is used to separate the values. Default value is a comma (as specified at MediaWiki:Comma-separator)

conjunction

The conjunction is the last separator. Dafault value is "and" (as specified at MediaWiki:And)

value-module

Name of the module to call to format the value

value-function

name of the function of value-module called to format the value. It takes two parameters: the value and an array containing the paramters passed to the formatStatements function. For examples see Module:Wikidata/Formatters

pattern

pattern to use for each statement value if the value is a string or a commons image. The "$1" string is replace by the value. By example, {{#invoke:Wikidata|formatStatements|property=p373|pattern=[[commons:Category:$1|$1]]}} will output Germany (wikicode: [[commons:Category:Germany|Germany]]).

rank

Filter the statements according to their ranks. Possible values:

• one: output only one statement. The first statement found with the higher rank is used.
• all: output all values
• normal: output only statements rank "normal" or "preferred" (default value, currently all statements are seen as "normal" before the introduction of the rank feature in Wikidata)
• preferred: output statements with rank "preferred" (not available currently)

Note

You shouldn't use this module like [[commons:Category:{{#invoke:Wikidata|formatStatements|property=p373|pattern=}}]] because there is no assurance that there is only one statement in Wikidata for the given property. You should use instead {{#invoke:Wikidata|formatStatements|property=p373|pattern=[[commons:Category:$1|$1]]}} (or {{#invoke:Wikidata|formatStatements|property=p373|pattern=[[commons:Category:$1|$1]]|rank=one}} if you want only one link).
