Module:Getlabel

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:Getlabel/doc

-- - getLabel returns the label for a Qid
-- if label doesn't exist, it returns the Qid
-- The label in a Wikidata item is subject to vulnerabilities 
-- that an attacker might try to exploit.
-- It needs to be 'sanitised' by removing any wikitext before use.
-- If it doesn't exist, just return the id for the item
-- to use elsewhere:
-- 1. {{#invoke:NameOfModule |getLabel}}
-- 2. {{#invoke:NameOfModule |getLabel | QidOfRequiredItem}}
-- 3. {{#invoke:NameOfModule |getLabel | qid=QidOfRequiredItem}}
-- 1 returns the label from the current asociated page on Wikidata
-- 2 and 3 both return the label for the given Qid.
