== Summing values across items ==

Hi,

I am already using this module to call values for specific items (in my case, political parties, such as their number of members).

Is there a way to sum these values for several items that are all instances of an item. For instance, the parties I deal with are all instances of "European political parties", and I am trying to sum their values to display the result (e.g., the sum total number of members of all European political parties).

Is these feasible one way or another?

== Capitalisation ==

Hi,

Is there a way to change the capitalisation of results? I am trying to call Wikidata to provide the description on Wikipedia articles but Wikidata says descriptions should not be capitalised, while Wikipedia English needs capitalisation. Is there a way to capitalise the first letter of the resulting string?

== Retrieving multiple wikidata property values in one call ==

I am trying to retrieve multiple property values in one call but it is ignoring the other properties I give so I only ever get one property value. I must not be giving things in the correct order but none of the examples help me. For example, given a mountain name, I want to retrieve the elevation, prominence, mountain range, coordinates and the first ascent significant event.

So given this:

P4552 = mountain range

P2044 = elevation

P2660 = prominence

P625 = coordinates

P793 = significant event; Q1194369 = first ascent; P585 = point in time

I can get all the values if I code one call per property but how do I code it so I can get all the properties in one call?

The documentation for the "property" command says "Returns the requested property – or list of properties". Yet, I see no example or syntax of how to specify this list of properties.<br/>

If I code the following, I only get the value of property P2044.<br/>

<nowiki>{{#invoke:wd|property|qualifier|page=Mount Robson|P2044|P2660|P4552|P625|P793|Q1194369|P585}}</nowiki>

:Have you tried using <code>properties</code> instead of <code>property</code>? [[User:Janhrach|Janhrach]] ([[User talk:Janhrach|talk]]) 20:45, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

::Yes, first thing I tried but it's not for specifying multiple properties to return but rather for returning multiple values of the given property. [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] ([[User talk:RedWolf|talk]]) 22:04, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

:::It seems that this module does not support this functionality – the diagram at [[Module:Wd#Positional arguments]] apparently says only one <code>property_id</code> argument is supported. The description you quoted from the documentation probably refers to using <code>properties</code>. [[User:Janhrach|Janhrach]] ([[User talk:Janhrach|talk]]) 13:29, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

== Retrieve foreign Wikipedia page title ==

I want to use the template to retrieve the foreign Wikipedia title of an article, given the local title. As an example: I have 'Eiffel Tower', and I want to retrieve the name '''Eiffelturm''' from the name of the corresponding page on de-wiki, according to the information available at the bottom of page [[d:Q243#sitelinks-wikipedia|Q243]].

I am new to the wikidata template, and I have discovered how to do some of what I need to do, for example: I see that <code><nowiki>{{wikidata|label|raw|page=Eiffel Tower}}</nowiki></code> gives me back {{kbd|{{wikidata|label|raw|page=Eiffel Tower}}}}. I see how to get various properties, like where it is located:

* <code><nowiki>{{wikidata|property|page=Eiffel Tower|P17}}</nowiki></code> ⟶ {{wikidata|property|page=Eiffel Tower|P17}}

But I don't see what the property name or id of the foreign wikipedia property is, so I can retrieve the German page title. What I want logically, I think, is something like this, maybe:

* <code><nowiki>{{wikidata|qualifier|page=Eiffel Tower|P99999|de}}</nowiki></code> ⟶ Eiffelturm

where {{kbd|P999999}} is an imaginary property number for 'Wikipedia language link' and {{kbd|de}} is the language code for the foreign Wikipedia containing the title I am looking for. But I can't find a property value for Wikipedia site link. There must be a property or something for the wikipedia names, but I can't find it. Maybe it's not a property, but something else?

== "Multilanguage" not working ==

I noticed that the example <code><nowiki>{{wikidata|property|multilanguage|Q55|P1549|P407=Q36846}}</nowiki></code> on [[Template:Wikidata]] no longer works – the output is empty. This seems to happen generally when trying to retrieve language-specific values of P1549 using "multilanguage".

Does anyone know how to fix or work around this issue? --[[User:Volvox|Volvox]] ([[User talk:Volvox|talk]]) 18:40, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

: {{Reply|Volvox}} It appears that <code>multilanguage</code> itself works, as in the following for the {{Prop|1549}} property of {{Q|55}}.

: <code><nowiki>{{wikidata|property|multilanguage|Q55|P1549}}</nowiki></code> (show one value)

:: {{wikidata|property|multilanguage|Q55|P1549}}

: <code><nowiki>{{wikidata|properties|multilanguage|Q55|P1549}}</nowiki></code> (show all values)

:: {{wikidata|properties|multilanguage|Q55|P1549}}

: I think the problem might be that {{para|P407|Q36846}} as shown in that example is looking for a {{Prop|407}} qualifier containing {{Q|36846}}, which is not how the {{Q|21044568}} datatype stores the language. You can see how it is stored by expanding the following.

{{Collapse|title=Output of <code><nowiki>{{examine|P1549|qid=Q55}}</nowiki></code>|content={{examine|P1549|qid=Q55}}}}

: Not sure if there is a way to fix this without an update to [[Module:wd]]. Perhaps someone having more experience with this module would know. -- [[User:Zyxw|Zyxw]] ([[User talk:Zyxw|talk]]) 03:14, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

:: Also, to show it does work when there are {{Prop|407}} qualifiers, see the following for the {{Prop|856}} property of {{Q|7565108}}.

:: <code><nowiki>{{wikidata|property|multilanguage|Q7565108|P856}}</nowiki></code>

::: {{wikidata|property|multilanguage|Q7565108|P856}}

:: <code><nowiki>{{wikidata|property|multilanguage|Q7565108|P856|P407=Q5287}}</nowiki></code> (in {{Q|5287}})

::: {{wikidata|property|multilanguage|Q7565108|P856|P407=Q5287}}

:: <code><nowiki>{{wikidata|property|multilanguage|Q7565108|P856|P407=Q150}}</nowiki></code> (in {{Q|150}})

::: {{wikidata|property|multilanguage|Q7565108|P856|P407=Q150}}

:: To see how this is stored, expand the following.

{{Collapse|title=Output of <code><nowiki>{{examine|P856|qid=Q7565108}}</nowiki></code>|content={{examine|P856|qid=Q7565108}}}}
