Module:EditAtWikidata

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Module to display an icon with a tooltip such as "Edit this at Wikidata"

• Icon will be linked to the Wikidata entry for the article where this is placed.
• This message is only displayed if a local_parameter is not supplied, i.e. when called from a template, it can be coded not to display the message when a local parameter is in use, preventing the value form Wikidata being fetched.
• The qid of a Wikidata entry can optionally be supplied for testing outside the article.

Usage

To always display the icon:

• {{#invoke:EditAtWikidata|showMessage}}

To display the icon depending on a local parameter not existing:

• {{#invoke:EditAtWikidata|showMessage|local_parameter}}

To test the functionality outside of an article:

• {{#invoke:EditAtWikidata|showMessage|qid=<ArticleID>|local_parameter}}

To make the link point to the given property at the Wikidata entry:

• {{#invoke:EditAtWikidata|showMessage|pid=<PropertyID>|local_parameter}}
