Wikidata search parameters
[edit]See the discussion here: is it possible to search Wikipedia using Wikidata items in search parameters? Jarble (talk) 19:59, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
- parameter source discussion is it possible to search Wiki data using items suggested for logged, </// () Jarble (talking about) = 2601:601:8000:BF80:C41F:C413:F8DB:8211 (talk) 03:38, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
The wikidata reference includes both a title and a URL, but the citation shows as having an error. I'm not familiar enough with the wikidata process to debug further. Could someone shed some light please? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:58, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Chris: The referenced documentation actually sheds a small beam of light:
To fix this error, check if the reference has the required properties and doesn't have any unknown properties, as described above.
- The unknown property could be house publication (P2813). --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 15:29, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Awesome - managed to fix it by removing that property. Thanks so much! Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 16:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
Parsing links
[edit]In the "using wikidata in Wikipedia articles" section, under parsing data, it says that using the statements function doesn't returns a link if the link is a redirect. The example itself is untrue, as calling for that Egyptologist data will indeed return a redirect link to Egyptology (as clearly shown around 2 lines later...). Is the whole statement untrue, or is there some qualification missing? Either way, it needs to be edited. JoeJShmo💌 21:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Using getAllStatements
[edit]On Module:Authority control we are currently reading the Wikidata item of an article about 150 times for each separate identifier using getBestStatements. I am wondering if it would be more efficient to extract all the statements in one go using getAllStatements and then process them with Lua. Does anyone have any insight into this? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)
