Template:Cite Q/sandbox
![]() | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Cite Q (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
![]() | This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation). |
![]() | From the TfD closure: "[...] works-in-progress should rarely be used in the article space until they are 99% finished/accurate/etc. Until the matter of transcluding Wikidata on Wikipedia is resolved (most likely with a huge and contentious RFC) usage of this template should be extremely vetted to ensure that all of the transcluded information is accurate." |

Usage
A wrapper for {{Citation}}, which calls available values from Wikidata.
An example of an article using this template for all of its references is South Pole Telescope; an example using Harvard style citations is 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
- 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. No more CiteVar wars!
- We should have a global template repository, so the code can be used by multiple wikis, without having to manually copy it after every update.
Parameters
|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
<ref name="">{{Cite Q| XXQIDXX }}</ref>
Reference naming
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>

Module:Wd
Module:Wd can automatically cause this template to be invoked, e.g.,
{{Wikidata|references|raw|Q2978|P2046}}
- Template:Wikidata
currently causes the following to be invoked:
{{Cite Q|Q15707237|pages=242}}
- Lua error in Module:Cite_Q at line 53: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

- More properties/ parameters to add
- Parameters with no equivalent property?
- Check/resolve handling of redirected QID
- Resolve special case of newspaper articles
- Is the following topic of "hint parameters" related to this?
- Improve date formatting options
- Handle volume in a serial
- What is meant by this? |part=, or output format differences journal vs. magazine?
- Order of precedence for rendering author names:
- Lua error in Module:Wd at line 196: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (P1932) qualifier on Lua error in Module:Wd at line 196: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (P50)

- Lua error in Module:Wd at line 196: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (P50) label in any other language

- Author names (Western-style, at least) should display as "Last, First Middle" to match Wikipedia house style
- How to deal with Tussenvoegsels etc.
- Are there values of

Template:WDPTemplate:WDP
- Add a tracking category for references with a Template:WDP statement
- Add a tracking category for references with a Template:WDP statement
- Add tracking categories for each parameter where the local value differs from the corresponding WD value so that either the WD entry can be updated/corrected or the local override can be corrected/removed
- Links to sister projects: Wikisource, if a transcription project exists; Wikibooks; Wikiversity (esp. the Wikijournals there); perhaps more
- Avoid

- Avoid
- Consider case where author is given as Lua error in Module:Wd at line 196: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). (Q311624)
- If last author/editor is named "et al." (and variants), mute this entry and set display-authors/editors=etal instead before passing down to {citation}
- Disputed; see Template talk:Citation#Et al
- If last author/editor is named "et al." (and variants), mute this entry and set display-authors/editors=etal instead before passing down to {citation}
- Template:WDP should take priority over all URL properties
- What if also on Wikisource?
Where there is a Wikipedia article about the work cited, link the title to that, overriding the URL if necessary (example: d:Q25766745)- Ditto for editions of works
- Fix unnecessary piping of author/editor and journal links if link and label are the same, f.e. [[Author|Author]] -> [[Author]], [[Journal|Journal]] -> [[Journal]] for improved reusability, cleaniness of output, reduced size of resulting page code, and to avoid potential future extra text errors thrown by the underlying {citation} template
- Is there a Pxxxx code for book series editors to add them to the list of "normal" editors?
- At present a WD pages entry of "1" will result in |pages=1–1 (and metadata &rft.pages=1-1) rather than |page=1 (and metadata &rft.pages=1).
- Implement evaluation of generic keyword for all parameters to denote that a WD value should be accepted by framing its value in accept-this-as-written markup ((..)). See talk thread for possible keyword names.
- Fix invocation with
|qid=
instead of unnamed parameter. At present {{cite Q|qid=Q12345}} instead of {{cite Q|Q12345}} gives an error.- This is intended; please discuss on talk
- Check all parameter aliases when scanning for override parameters (at present some alias parameter names are ignored, possibly leading to inconsistent behaviour if they are set as well).
- Consider including a link to Special:EntityUsage, in the form, say, Other cites or with a small icon.
- Take possible template parameter usage as hint which parameter to use in the generated output. F.e. if the journal/magazine/newspaper parameter is used, the template should use the same in the output. The underlying template {citation} will switch the output format accordingly.
- Try to utilize given parameter values as filter for retrieved WD data. If an editor specifies |edition=2 or |volume=3, cite Q should select correlating data (f.e. page ranges, identifiers etc.) while retrieving data from WD (in cases where more than one entry is available for a particular parameter)
