qid		The Q-number of the entity that the property belongs to. Defaults to the associated Wikidata entry of the current page.	nil

fetchwikidata	fwd	List of fields to fetch values from. ALL fetches all fields. NONE explicitly fetches no fields.	none
suppressfields	spf	List of fields which will never display	none
name		Name of the field: when encoding an infobox, this is the name that fetchwikidata and suppressfields will recognise. Required if fetchwikidata or suppressfields is specified (except when fetchwikidata=ALL).	nil
onlysourced	osd	A boolean which will filter out Wikidata values that are unsourced or only sourced to Wikipedia. Values no, false and 0 are all false; anything else is true.	true
df		Date format: may be dmy (day before month) or mdy (month before day) or y (year alone).	dmy
