Template to display an icon with a tooltip such as "Edit this at Wikidata"

  • Icon will be linked to the Wikidata entry for the article where this is placed.
  • The link can be modified to point to a specific property in the Wikidata entry by supplying the optional named parameter |pid=.
  • This message is only displayed if a local_parameter is not supplied; i.e. when called from within a template, it can be coded not to display the icon when a local parameter is in use, which means the value from Wikidata is not used.
  • The qid of a Wikidata entry can optionally be supplied for testing outside the article (this is an expensive call).

Usage

  • {{EditAtWikidata}}

Outside the article:

  • {{EditAtWikidata |qid=<Qid of article at Wikidata>}}

Inside another template:

  • {{EditAtWikidata |{{{local_parameter|}}} }}

To make the link point to the given propertyID at the Wikidata entry:

  • {{EditAtWikidata |pid=<PropertyID> |local_parameter}}
