Property P in lower case

An other issue with this module is that the property P should be in lower case. Uppercase P give error: Property not found.

{{#invoke:Wikidata|formatStatements|property=p19}} OK

{{#invoke:Wikidata|formatStatements|property=P19}} Property not found

Should be more robust. Especially when {{#property:P19}} is working. HenkvD (talk) 12:14, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Easy fix. Why did nobody program this sooner???? HenkvD (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

separator

In Germany test {{#invoke:Wikidata|formatStatements|property=p47|separator=<br />}}:

Show: "Netherlands and Denmark". But could is "Netherlands <br /> Denmark" --Shizhao (talk) 14:10, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

It works, but you have to add conjunction=<br />

{{#invoke:Wikidata|formatStatements|property=p47|separator=<br />|conjunction=<br />}}

entity-not-found

Do we really need the error "entity-not-found"? It shouldn't show anything if entity doesn't exist, but now it shows error instead. --Nullzero (talk) 06:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

I removed it as this indeed not needed and giving errors on pages. See also discussion on ru:Обсуждение шаблона:Wikidata. HenkvD (talk) 18:28, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Number of statements

Is it possible to add a function that just returns the number of available statements? --Bultro (talk) 12:25, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

This function can by placed in any module (like I did in Module:HenkvD):

function p.NumberOfClaims(frame) 
   entity = mw.wikibase.getEntity()
   if not entity then return nil end
   if not entity.claims then return nil end
   local count = 0
   for _ in pairs(entity.claims) do count = count + 1 end
   return count
end

Ok that returns the number of different properties. Sorry, i meant the number of different values a specified property has, for example Q16287 and property=P47 would return "8" --Bultro (talk) 15:56, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

You can do similar for entity.claims.p47, see Province of Turin using NumberOfClaimsPerProperty in Module:HenkvD"

function p.NumberOfClaimsPerProperty(frame) 
   property=string.lower(frame.args[1])
   entity = mw.wikibase.getEntity()
   if not entity then return nil end
   if not entity.claims then return nil end
   if not entity.claims[property] then return nil end
   local count = 0
   for _ in pairs(entity.claims[property]) do count = count + 1 end
   return count
end

Support to coordinates

Is it possible to add support for geocoordinates property? Different wikis started to add this on they own, but it would be helpful to have centralised way to call it. --Reaperman (talk) 18:34, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

I have begun Module:GlobeCoordinate that is used as a library for supporting geoccordinates. For an example of th output, see Paris. Tpt (talk) 18:53, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
