Template:Infobox person/Wikidata/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox person/Wikidata. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as well as infobox and biographical style guideline. All content displayed in this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy if applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed immediately from the article and its infobox, especially if potentially libellous. |
| When adding an infobox using data from Wikidata, please check for consistency with the article and its references, and to address the inconsistencies observed, which can be done by amending the article or the Wikidata entry, or by supplying a better value to the infobox as a local parameter if this is what emerges from the sources. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
This version of {{Infobox person}} retrieves various parameter values from Wikidata if enabled ("opt-in"). This will by default only fetch information that is sourced on Wikidata to a non-Wikipedia source, and only if a local value is not provided. The template calls Module:Wikidata and Module:WikidataIB.
It allows editors at the article level to blacklist various fields so that they do not display. This makes a positive statement that those fields are unsuitable for inclusion in that article's infobox.
Usage
Basic
| Georges Duhamel | |
|---|---|
| Template:EditOnWikidata |
| Leo Tolstoy | |
|---|---|
| Template:EditOnWikidata |
Just use:
{{Infobox person/Wikidata | fetchwikidata=ALL}}
and you should get a Wikidata-filled infobox! (Providing the article is linked to a Wikidata entry containing relevant information!). This will by default only fetch information that is sourced on Wikidata. This is an important safeguard for BLPs. The subject's current age (or age at death) will be calculated automatically provided that the dates are sourced and full (i.e. 12 January 1958 not 1958).
General example
{{Infobox person/Wikidata
| suppressfields=occupation children
| dateformat = dmy
| noicon=on
...
}}
This will prevent the infobox from displaying the fields for occupation or children. |noicon=on will suppress the pencil icons in favour of a single "edit on Wikidata" link at the bottom (see Tolstoy, right).
Specific example
| Ludwig van Beethoven | |
|---|---|
| Template:EditOnWikidata |
In Lua error in Module:Wd at line 196: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (Q255)
{{Infobox person/Wikidata
| suppressfields=birth_date
| fetchwikidata=ALL
| dateformat = dmy
}}
This fetches information on place of birth, baptism, death, citizenship, etc. - but not date of birth as that is not known.
