| File:Ambox important.svg | The design and content of biographical infoboxes must follow Wikipedia's verifiability policy, as well as infobox and biographical style guideline. All content displayed in this template must adhere to the biographies of living persons policy if applicable. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material must be removed immediately from the article and its infobox, especially if potentially libellous. |
| File:Lua-Logo.svg | This template uses Lua: |
| File:Wikidata-logo.svg | This template uses the Wikidata properties: Lua error in Module:Uses_Wikidata at line 13: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). |
This version of {{Infobox person}} retrieves various parameter values from Wikidata if enabled ("opt-in") as long as that information is sourced on Wikidata to a source other than Wikipedia. Editors can provide a local value at the article level to override or prevent specific fields from displaying, i.e., to indicate that those fields are unsuitable for inclusion in that article's infobox. This template has no option/parameter to display unsourced values.
The template calls Module:Wikidata and Module:WikidataIB.
Usage[edit source]
Basic[edit source]
Georges Duhamel | |
|---|---|
| Born | Template:If then show |
| Died | Template:If then show |
| Template:Edit on Wikidata | |
Leo Tolstoy | |
|---|---|
| Born | Template:If then show |
| Died | Template:If then show |
| Template:Edit on Wikidata | |
Just use:
{{Infobox person/Wikidata | fetchwikidata=ALL}}and you should get a Wikidata-filled infobox! (Providing the article is linked to a Wikidata entry containing relevant information!) This will by default only fetch information that is sourced on Wikidata. This is an important safeguard for BLPs. The subject's current age (or age at death) will be calculated automatically provided that the dates are sourced and full (i.e. 12 January 1958 not 1958).
General example[edit source]
{{Infobox person/Wikidata
| suppressfields=occupation children
| dateformat = dmy
| noicon=on
...
}}This will prevent the infobox from displaying the fields for occupation or children. |noicon=on will suppress the pencil icons in favour of a single "edit on Wikidata" link at the bottom (see Tolstoy, right).
Specific example[edit source]
Ludwig van Beethoven | |
|---|---|
| Born | Template:If then show |
| Died | Template:If then show |
| Template:Edit on Wikidata | |
In Template:Q
{{Infobox person/Wikidata
| suppressfields=birth_date
| fetchwikidata=ALL
| dateformat = dmy
}}This fetches information on place of birth, baptism, death, citizenship, etc. - but not date of birth as that is not known.
