This template is used on approximately 494,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:WikidataCheck (sandbox)

Template:WikidataCheck compares a template parameter to a Wikidata property and adds pages using the template to one of three categories: not in, same as, or different from Wikidata. It is powered by the Lua module Module:WikidataCheck.

Usage

edit

To add only articles to the categories:

{{WikidataCheck|property=P###|value={{{value|}}}|category=Category prefix}}

To add pages in other namespaces to the categories:

{{WikidataCheck|property=P###|value={{{value|}}}|category=Category prefix|namespaces=0,14}}

To prevent adding pages to a "same as" category:

{{WikidataCheck|property=P###|value={{{value|}}}|category=Category prefix|nocatsame=1}}

To make comparison case insensitive for "different from" category:

{{WikidataCheck|property=P###|value={{{value|}}}|category=Category prefix|ignorecase=1}}

Parameters

edit

Required

|property= is the P### of the property. The "P" must be uppercase.
|value= is the value to use from the template. This would be something like {{{id|}}} or {{{id|{{{1|}}}}}}
|category= is the prefix to use in front of the category names. The categories created are "[prefix] not in Wikidata", "[prefix] same as Wikidata", and "[prefix] different from Wikidata".
- It is recommended you create these categories with {{hiddencat}} before applying this template.

Optional

|namespaces= is a comma separated list of the numerical namespaces to apply the template. The default is 0, which is just article space.
|nocatsame= if set to any value will prevent adding pages to a "same as" category. The "not in" and "different from" categories are still added, where applicable.
|ignorecase= if set to any value will ignore upper/lower case differences between value in template and value in Wikidata when adding pages to a "different from" category.
|qid= if specified will check a a different Wikidata item than the current article.
|onlysourced= if set to "yes" will ignore unsourced Wikidata properties, equivalent to Module:WikidataIB's |onlysourced=yes.

Example

edit

For {{MusicBrainz artist}}, which checks MusicBrainz artist ID (P434), the following code would be added:

{{WikidataCheck|property=P434|value={{{mbid|{{{id|{{{1|}}}}}}}}}|category=MusicBrainz artist}}

Articles using that template with an ID would be placed in one of the following categories:

Category:MusicBrainz artist not in Wikidata
Category:MusicBrainz artist same as Wikidata
Category:MusicBrainz artist different from Wikidata
