How to only show year of a numeric value?

How can I only show the year of a numeric value, for example the year for the population size of a city? Now I used the following advanced string manipulation to remove the value, which makes the script slow - it gives the error message "The time allocated for running scripts has expired" if the script is included a large number of times in the same Wikipedia page:

{{#invoke:Ustring|gsub|{{#invoke:WikidataIB |getValue |P1082 |qid=... |fwd=ALL |rank=best |osd=no |qual=P585|qdf=y|noicon=TRUE|list=p-1}}|^[%d,± ]* %((%d%d%d%d)%)|%1}}

sorted=true: by what?

I understand that |sorted=true sorts the returned values, but I cannot see by what ordering. Eg, for quassin (Q2079986), found in taxon (P703):

sorted=false: Picrasma crenata, Picrasma javanica, Picrasma quassioides, Quassia africana, Quassia amara, Samadera indica

dflt

sorted= true: Quassia africana, Picrasma crenata, Picrasma javanica, Picrasma quassioides, Quassia amara, Samadera indica

So, true-results have unexpected order IMO. (Incidentally, the itempage has/shows alphabetical order).

Does it have to do with wikilinked/unlinked? If so, by some rationale or because of code like "[[..."? DePiep (talk) 13:28, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@DePiep From the doc page/comments: It's only a very dumb alphabetical sort and sorts linked values as "[[ ...". So a literal alphabetical sort that doesn't break up links to sort by label. That seems to match your example as well. -- ferret (talk) 13:30, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks; makes me feel good having the question right ;-)

How to add references

Is there a way to show references? {{wikidata}} has this nice option:

{{wikidata|properties|linked|references|normal+|Q18216|P703}}

→ liquorice,^[1] Ixora coccinea^[2]

But afaik it is less controllable. Some live examples in infoboxes? -DePiep (talk) 14:48, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I know, this module was never designed to produce references. It would be nice to produce well formatted references. I think it will be quite challenging to match an existing citation style on an article. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:11, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch. This hurts... Thx. DePiep (talk) 18:57, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

getWebsite error

I think there is an error in the getWebsite function. If there is no wikidata item corresponding to the current page then it will not even display the locally defined parameter. That prevents it being tested properly on talk pages and testcases.

{{#invoke:WikidataIB|getWebsite|url=www.google.com}}

currently produces: [www.google.com www.google.com]

@MSGJ Which infobox? This may be a template-level issue. -- ferret (talk) 14:20, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
