==How to only show year of a numeric value?==

How can I only show the year of a numeric value, for example the year for the population size of a city? Now I used the following advanced string manipulation to remove the value, which makes the script slow - it gives the error message "The time allocated for running scripts has expired" if the script is included a large number of times in the same Wikipedia page:

*<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Ustring|gsub|{{#invoke:WikidataIB |getValue |P1082 |qid=... |fwd=ALL |rank=best |osd=no |qual=P585|qdf=y|noicon=TRUE|list=p-1}}|^[%d,± ]* %((%d%d%d%d)%)|%1}}</nowiki></code>

== sorted=true: by what? ==

I understand that {{para|sorted|true}} sorts the returned values, but I cannot see by what ordering. Eg, for {{Q|Q2079986}}, {{Property|P703}}:

::sorted=false: {{#invoke:WikidataIB |getValue |P703 |qid=Q2079986|fwd=ALL|sorted=false }} dflt

::sorted= true: {{#invoke:WikidataIB |getValue |P703 |qid=Q2079986|fwd=ALL|sorted=true }}

:So, true-results have unexpected order IMO. (Incidentally, the itempage has/shows alphabetical order).

:Does it have to do with wikilinked/unlinked? If so, by some rationale or because of code like "<nowiki>[[...</nowiki>"? [[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 13:28, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

::@[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] From the doc page/comments: {{tq|It's only a very dumb alphabetical sort and sorts linked values as "<nowiki>[[</nowiki> ..."}}. So a literal alphabetical sort that doesn't break up links to sort by label. That seems to match your example as well. -- [[User:Ferret|ferret]] ([[User_talk:Ferret|talk]]) 13:30, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

==Multiple qualifiers==

== How to add references ==

Is there a way to filter a property with many values by two or more qualifiers? [[User:Serresmap|Serresmap]] ([[User talk:Serresmap|talk]]) 00:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Serresmap|Serresmap]]: I don't think so. I recommend using [[Module:Wd]] instead, e.g. <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:wd|properties|Q55|P7295|P518=Q762943|P1365=Q11184}}</nowiki></code>. [[User:LennardHofmann|LennardHofmann]] ([[User talk:LennardHofmann|talk]]) 12:55, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Is there a way to show references? {{tl|wikidata}} has this nice option:

:<code><nowiki>{{wikidata|properties|linked|references|normal+|Q18216|P703}}</nowiki></code>

:&rarr; {{wikidata|properties|linked|references|normal+|Q18216|P703}}

But afaik it is less controllable. Some live examples in infoboxes? -[[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 14:48, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

==Option to get 'raw value'==

:As far as I know, this module was never designed to produce references. It would be nice to produce well formatted references. I think it will be quite challenging to match an existing citation style on an article. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 15:11, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

There should be an option to get '''raw value''' of a wikidata item using this module, similar to what we get from {{code|{{wikidata{{!}}property{{!}}raw{{!}}...}}}}.

::Ouch. This hurts... Thx. [[User:DePiep|DePiep]] ([[User talk:DePiep|talk]]) 18:57, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Absence of this option makes the template difficult to be used in infoboxes which require some wikidata property of a wikidata item which in turn is specified by some property of the given {{para|qid}}.

== getWebsite error ==

This is necessary in order to comply with [[Wikipedia:Wikidata/2018 Infobox RfC | this RFC]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikidata#Appropriate_usage_in_articles|this list of RFCs]] which make it mandatory to use {{tl|Wdib}} with {{para|osd|true}} in infoboxes.

I think there is an error in the getWebsite function. If there is no wikidata item corresponding to the current page then it will not even display the locally defined parameter. That prevents it being tested properly on talk pages and testcases.

An example requirement is {{para|mla}} of {{tl|Infobox Indian Constituency (wd)}}. [[User Talk:Riteze|<span style="color:green;">Riteze</span>]] 08:19, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

<pre>{{#invoke:WikidataIB|getWebsite|url=www.google.com}}</pre>

currently produces: {{#invoke:WikidataIB|getWebsite|url=www.google.com}}

== open and close quotation mark ==

&mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 06:36, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Many of [[Quotation mark]]s have opening and closing, so both open and close quotation mark should be able to specified in [[Module:WikidataIB/titleformats|/titleformats]]. [[User:FlatLanguage|FlatLanguage]] ([[User talk:FlatLanguage|talk]]) 18:54, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

:@[[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] <s>Which infobox? This may be a template-level issue.</s> Nevermind I'm dumb, I missed your example because it's literally blank :) Taking a glance... -- [[User:Ferret|ferret]] ([[User_talk:Ferret|talk]]) 14:20, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

::Ouch.Please Thissee hurts..[[MOS:CURLY]]. Thx.– [[User:DePiepJonesey95|DePiepJonesey95]] ([[User talk:DePiepJonesey95|talk]]) 1801:57, 2627 SeptemberMarch 20222025 (UTC)

:@[[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] The culprit is the line {{tq|if not qid then return nil end}}. If the page has no qid, the function ends early. I think this should probably be something like {{tq|if not qid and not url then return nil end}}. That should allow it to continue if a locally defined url is set. -- [[User:Ferret|ferret]] ([[User_talk:Ferret|talk]]) 14:29, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
