Edit request June 2019

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

There is a request here ({{Official URL}}) to use a different icon for the pencil (optionally). The default icon File:Blue pencil.svg when next to an external link visually bleeds into the hyperlink since they use the same shading. For example see the infobox at Anglican Communion ("Official URL"). (This is using {{official URL/sandbox}}). The suggestion is to change the icon to the one used in the interwiki language box on the left side of the screen (same size/shape pencil just solid). I can't determine which icon image it is, but probably one in this category. I think a new argument to specify the image file (optionally, defaulting to current) would do the trick. @Xaosflux:. -- GreenC 14:32, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Volker E. (WMF): - can you provide any insight that could help with this UI element? I'd like to keep things as consistent across the page as possible. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:56, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenC: it looks like from the delivered page source that one is coming directly as raw svg data for the browser to render. — xaosflux ^Talk 16:31, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux: Thanks for pinging, I'd recommend File:OOjs_UI_icon_edit-ltr-progressive.svg for this, as it would use the standard edit icon. I'd also not be concerned with the slight color difference as it's only on a 16x16px base and the link colors are discussed to be changed to this new standard, accessible color as well in phab:T213778. – Volker E.

Wikidata Bridge

(Reposted from Module talk:WikidataIB § Wikidata Bridge.)

I'm guessing that the module maintainers might be unaware of this? The WMDE developers have been working on mw:Wikidata Bridge, which will allow some Wikidata statements to be edited directly through infoboxes and other templates. There's currently a semi-interactive prototype. I think it would be useful for the module maintainers to provide feedback, if there are any issues that haven't already been addressed.

There's an early draft of a documentation page that might help explain how the software's supposed to be enabled inside template code. Jc86035 (talk) 08:33, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Noprint

Add span class noprint in order to prevent pencils from being printed as they are not useful in printed articles. --5.43.82.5 (talk) 01:50, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hide link to non-existent property

The module would be better if the link is suppressed when the property specified by |pid= does not exist on the wikidata item. For example, the following output should be suppressed:

{{#invoke:EditAtWikidata|showMessage|pid=P3563|qid=Q106166201}} ->
