Functions callable from Lua

p._getClaims returns claims in a particular item that match a particular query

• item (required): its Qid
• property (required) property that the claims should have
• qualifier = qualifiers that the statement should have
• withrank = rank of the statement ; 'preferred', 'normal', 'deprecated' or 'valid' (ie. normal and preferred). By default = preferred.
• sourceproperty = this property should be used in the source
• withsource = the source that should be provided in the statement (if sourceproperty is not provided, the property used is Padron:P)
• excludespecial = set to true if you do not want to get "novalue" and "somevalue".
• numval = if you want to set a maximum number of values to be returned
• sorttype = set to "chronological" to get the statements in chronological order using the Padron:P, Padron:P and Padron:P qualifiers. Set to "inverted" for chronological order. From a Lua module, you can also define your own sorting criteria.
• showsource = set to "true" if you want the source of the statement to be displayed.

p.formatStatements(args): returns a string containing the statements given in the table args. Same keys as getClaims, plus formatting arguments:

• lang (required) for the desired language
• format = the format in which the args should be returned. For example, for a string-type property displayformat = "weblink" returns a formatted weblink.
• conjtype = the conjunction separating the statements. For example, conj = '<br />' will make a new line between each statement.
• showqualifiers = the qualifiers that should be shown along with the mainsnak value

p.getLabel get the label of an entity

• entity = entity ID with its Q or P
• lang

Functions callable from wikitext

• p.formatStatementsE same as p._formatStatements, except that "lang" is not required. It is most conveniently used from {{Data}} that takes exactly the same arguments.
