Template:Cite Q

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

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

Future developments

• Convert to use Lua for more advanced functionality
• 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!

Module:Wd

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

{{Wikidata|references|raw|Q2978|P2046}}

currently causes the following to be invoked:

{{Cite Q|Q15707237|pages=242}}

, Wikidata Q15707237

because an (P2046) statement on (Q2978) is referenced to be (P248) (Q15707237) with (P304) = 242.

See d:Q2978#P2046

{{wikidata|references}} is used in a number of places including {{Infobox World Heritage Site}} resulting in the above reference appearing as a reference footnote at Regensburg § History after 1945.

Issues

• Multiple author names treated as one blob
• Linking author name(s)
• Title for a book uses {{ #invoke:WikidataIB |getLink |{{{1}}} }} and may be expensive
• What to do if title not in English
• Linking title to Wikipedia article, if any
• Need to fetch ISSN etc. from item about journal
• More properties/ parameters to add
• Parameters with no equivalent property?
• Move Wikidata link before |quote= (and after other IDs like |pmid=)
• Fix |ol= values
• Need to handle volume, issue and page(s) as qualifiers of journal (see Q30000000 example)
• Check/ resolve handling of redirected QIDs
• Need wider variety of examples/ test cases
• Need to add manual date for newspaper articles/ website articles.
• Resolve special case of newspaper articles
• Improve date formatting options
• Make publisher a link, where appropriate
• Handle volume in a serial
• Improve handing of unexpected multiple values
  • e.g. Handle multiple DOIs
• Handle author name string ( (P2093)) values (e.g. on Q38000000)
• Order of precedence for rendering author names:
  1. (P1932) qualifier on (P50)
  2. (P2093)
  3. (P50) label in English
  4. (P50) label in any other language
  • Regardless of which of the above is used, link to the author biography article if available, via (P50) (matched via (P1545) if applicable)
• Handle pseudonymous author personas such as P. D. Q. Bach or Mark Twain
