Module:EditAtWikidata/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Module:EditAtWikidata.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing.

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}}
