Usage

edit

A wrapper for {{Citation}}, which calls available values from Wikidata.

An example of an article using this template for all of its references is en:South Pole Telescope; an example using Harvard style citations is en:Suffix automaton.

By default, if there are more than eight author names, the template displays three, followed by "et al". This can be changed using |display-authors=; using that parameter with no value displays them all. The same applies to multiple editors - see the test-case pages.

Future developments

edit
  • Once robust the functionality should be merged into {{Citation}}
  • Eventually, each signed-in reader should be able to set, under their "Preferences", the style in which they wish to see citations rendered.
  • We should have a [[:mediawiki:|Global templates|lobal template repository]], so the code can be used by multiple wikis, without having to manually copy it after every update.g

Parameters

edit
  • |1= = Wikidata QID for the article

Additionally, any named parameter used in {{Citation}} may be entered and will overwrite the value in Wikidata. Using such parameters, with a value of unset, will suppress display of data from Wikidata.

Blank

edit
<ref name="">{{Cite Q| XXQIDXX }}</ref>

Reference naming

edit

For ease of use, you may wish to name your references to reflect the cited work, for example:

<ref name="Williams-2010">{{Cite Q|Q15625490}}</ref>

Parameter / entity map

Module:Wd

edit

Module:Wd can automatically cause this template to be invoked, e.g.,

{{Wikidata|references|raw|Q2978|P2046}}
You must specify title = and url = when using {{cite web}}.. Alle politisch selbständigen Gemeinden mit ausgewählten Merkmalen am 31.12.2018 (4. Quartal). Federal Statistical Office.

currently causes the following to be invoked:

{{Cite Q|Q15707237|pages=242}}
Bavarian State Office for Statistics and Data, ed. (1991), Amtliches Ortsverzeichnis für Bayern (in German), Munich: Bavarian State Office for Statistics and Data, p. 242, Wikidata Q15707237

because an area (P2046) statement on Regensburg (Q2978) is referenced to be stated in (P248) Amtliches Ortsverzeichnis für Bayern (1991) (Q15707237) with page(s) (P304) = 242.
