Module:Wikidata label

Module 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. Used by {{Label}} template.

Usage

getLabel

This function returns a label translated to desired language and linking to desired project, created based on wikidata

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
