Module talk:Road data
Wikidata
Wikidata now has a road number formatter (P8498) property that would make it possible to streamline some of these modules a little. Instead of needing to specify the abbreviation format of each route network, the module could simply supply the Wikidata QID of the route network and state. This module could then automatically look up the correct format. For example:
- Interstate highways (California):
{{replace|{{if empty|{{wd|property|Q94247|P8498|P3005=Q99}}|{{wd|property|Q94247|P8498}}}}|$1|5}}→ I-5 - Interstate highways (Texas):
{{replace|{{if empty|{{wd|property|Q94247|P8498|P3005=Q1439}}|{{wd|property|Q94247|P8498}}}}|$1|5}}→ IH 5
I've also proposed a road name formatter property to further streamline these modules. It's still waiting for some feedback.
