Template:Edit at Wikidata

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 871,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:EditAtWikidata (sandbox)

Template 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.
The link can be modified to point to a specific property (or part thereof) in the Wikidata entry by supplying the optional named parameter |pid=.
This message is only displayed if parameter |1=} is empty; i.e. when called from within a template, it can be coded not to display the icon, which means the value from Wikidata is not used.
The Wikidata ID can optionally be supplied for testing outside the article (this is an expensive call).

Usage

{{Edit at Wikidata}}

Outside the article:

{{Edit at Wikidata |qid=<Qid of article at Wikidata>}}

Inside another template:

{{Edit at Wikidata |{{{local_parameter|}}} }}

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

{{Edit at Wikidata |pid=<PropertyID> |local_parameter}}

Example

With no parameters:	{{Edit at Wikidata}}

Suppressing the edit link:	{{Edit at Wikidata\|value}}
