Template:EditAtWikidata/doc

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 (or part thereof) in the Wikidata entry by supplying the optional named parameter |pid=.
• This message is only displayed if parameter |1=} is empty; i.e. when called from within a template, it can be coded not to display the icon, which means the value from Wikidata is not used.
• The Wikidata ID 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}}

Example

	Wikitext	Output
With no parameters:	{{EditAtWikidata}}
Linking to a different Wikidata item:	{{EditAtWikidata|qid=Q42}}
Linking to a specific property in an item:	{{EditAtWikidata|qid=Q42|pid=P735}}
