Is there an equivalent to this module to retrieve structured data from a file on wikimedia commons? E.g. [[c:File:Inhibition_mechanism_(irreversible).svg|this file]] should have P275 = Q20007257. Any ideas? [[User:Evolution and evolvability|T.Shafee(Evo<small>&</small>Evo)]]<sup>[[User talk:Evolution and evolvability|talk]]</sup> 06:30, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
== Is there a risk for overusing this module? ==
Hello. Thank you for developing this amazing module. I am working in the Ladin language Wikipedia, where I have created this module by copying this code and it works well. I have started using this module a lot on many articles, because the Ladin Wikipedia is very small and there aren't enough people to regularly update information, so I try to automatise everything as much as possible. I have found that when an article contains several instances of "module:wd", like five or more, it can take a while for the page to display the information. I include this module both in infoboxes as well as in the text of the article. When it takes longer to display the information from Wikidata, it may even show only certain information from Wikidata but not other. I don't think it's a syntax issue, because other pages with the same syntax did not have this issue.
Therefore, I wonder whether there is a recommended guideline against overusing this module, whether using it five times on every single page in the entire Wikipedia would slow everything down considerably. Or is this practice fine?
Do the long loading times only happen when the Wikidata item or the Wikipedia article are edited, and otherwise it just loads the information once and then it's fine?
Thanks for helping. [[User:Asenoner|Asenoner]] ([[User talk:Asenoner|talk]]) 13:01, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
