Module:Wikidata label
Documentation
The module provides functions to fetch from wikidata labels, aliases or sitelinks for specific item in specific language. Each function can be called both from Lua and from Wikitext templates.
getLabel
This function returns a label translated to desired language and linking to desired project, created based on wikidata. Used by {{Label}}
template.
- Call from template
{{#invoke:Wikidata label|getLabel |item=<''item ID''> |lang=<''language''> |link=<''link type''> |capitalization=,''capitalization style''> }}
- Calls from Lua
require('Module:Wikidata label')._getLabel( item, [lang] , [link_type] , [capitalization] )
- Inputs
Name | Function | Default |
---|---|---|
item | Wikidata item ID number in form "Q" + item number. Also works with Wikidata properties if you use "P"+number. |
(required field) |
lang | Language code (only needs to be provided if the language displayed is to be fixed and independent of the user’s preferences). | {{int:lang}}
|
link | link type: wikipedia will try to link to Wikipedia (does not work for properties) wikidata to Wikidata commons to Commons (does not work for properties) - means no link. The code will try first the link of your choice then if not possible it will fallback and try linking to Wikipedia, and if that is not possible than to Wikidata. |
wikipedia |
capitalization | can be: uc: upper case lc: lower case ucfirst: upper case for the first letter lcfirst: lower case for the first letter none: to leave it as is |
none |
sitelinks
This function returns a list of sitelinks for a single project organized by language
- Call from template
{{#invoke:Wikidata label|sitelinks |item=<''item ID''> |project=<''project''> }}
- Calls from Lua
require('Module:Wikidata label')._sitelinks( item, project )
- Inputs
Name | Function |
---|---|
item | Wikidata item ID number in form "Q" + item number or entity class |
project | "wikipedia" (or "wiki"), "wikisource", "wikiquote", "wikibooks", "wikinews", "wikiversity", "wikivoyage", "wiktionary", etc. |
- Output
- for sitelinks a comma separated list
- for _sitelinks a lua table
aliases
This function returns a list of aliases for a single language
- Call from template
{{#invoke:Wikidata label|aliases |item=<''item ID''> |lang=<''language''> }}
- Calls from Lua
require('Module:Wikidata label')._aliases( item, lang )
- Inputs
Name | Function |
---|---|
item | Wikidata item ID number in form "Q" + item number or entity class |
lang | Language code |
- Output
- for aliases a comma separated list
- for _aliases a lua table
