Testing sandbox for a wikidata-aware Infobox book.
This uses a 'blacklist' of fields that will never be displayed, by using the parameter |suppressfields, e.g.:
| suppressfields = dewey; congress
It uses a 'whitelist' of fields that will be fetched from Wikidata, by using the parameter |fetchwikidata (unless the field is suppressed or a local value is supplied), e.g.:
| fetchwikidata = author; genre; pub_date; pages; dewey; congress
Any separators can be used, except | and {} as you might expect.
The snag will be if a field name is included inside another field name like "date" is inside "pub_date". Try to avoid naming parameters like that.
As a shorthand the whitelist of fields to be fetched from Wikidata can be given the value ALL, for all available fields.
| fetchwikidata = ALL
Parameters supported so far are:
- author
- genre
- pub_date
- pages
- dewey
- congress
Usage edit
No Wikidata edit
{{Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
| suppressfields =
| fetchwikidata =
| name = Animal Farm
| title_orig = Animal Farm: A Fairy Story
| image = Animal Farm - 1st edition.jpg
| image_size = 200px
| caption = First edition cover
| author = [[George Orwell]]
| country = United Kingdom
| language = English
| genre = Political satire
}}
Works as a non-aware infobox: only locally supplied parameters are displayed.
{{Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
| name = Animal Farm
| title_orig = Animal Farm: A Fairy Story
| image = Animal Farm - 1st edition.jpg
| image_size = 200px
| caption = First edition cover
| author = [[George Orwell]]
| country = United Kingdom
| language = English
| genre = Political satire
}}
The blacklist and whitelist can be omitted if unused
All Wikidata edit
{{Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
| suppressfields =
| fetchwikidata = author; genre; pub_date; pages; dewey; congress
}}
Fetches all of its values from Wikidata.
{{Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
| fetchwikidata = ALL
}}
As shorthand, the |fetchwikidata= can be set to ALL to fetch all available fields.
Any of them can be suppressed by |suppressfields=, or overridden by supplying a local value.
Never display genre edit
{{Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
| suppressfields = genre
| fetchwikidata = author; genre; pub_date; pages; dewey; congress
}}
The genre field will always be suppressed, even if a local value is supplied.
{{Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
| suppressfields = genre
| fetchwikidata = author; genre; pub_date; pages; dewey; congress
| genre = Political satire
}}
Local override edit
{{Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
| fetchwikidata = author; genre; pub_date; pages; dewey; congress
| genre = Political satire
}}
The genre field is set to display "Political satire", no matter what is stored in Wikidata.
{{Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
| fetchwikidata = ALL
| genre = Novel
}}
The genre field is set to display "Novel", no matter what is stored in Wikidata.
Don't fetch genre edit
{{Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
| suppressfields =
| fetchwikidata = author; pub_date; pages; dewey; congress
}}
The genre field will not be fetched from Wikidata.
