Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]Usage
This template defines a bot-generated list based on Wikidata (original blog post). It must be "closed" with {{Wikidata list end}}; the text between these two templates will be periodically (once every 24h) replaced by the bot-generated list. At this moment, only one list per page is possible.
The query MUST include the ?item variable - do not rename it.
It is also possible to combine usage with the Mbabel tool, for Wikipedia article drafts based on a particular Wikidata query - see Wikipedia:Mbabel/Collections.
Use in mainspace
There is no consensus to use this template and ListeriaBot to maintain lists in article space per Wikipedia:Bots/Noticeboard/Archive 13#Re-examination of ListeriaBot. Any uses of this template in mainspace will produce an error message (There is no consensus to use Template:Wikidata list in articles) and populate Category:Pages with templates in the wrong namespace, and will not be updated.
Example
The following example shows only entries where
"instance of" (P31) has the value of "lighthouse" (Q39715)
and
"located in the administrative territorial entity" (P131) can be anything as long as its part of the "Netherlands" (Q55)
and in the information it retrieves one should be call "Place" rather than its default value "located in the administrative territorial entity" (P131)
{{Wikidata list|sparql=
SELECT ?item WHERE {
?item wdt:P31 wd:Q39715 .
?item (wdt:P131)* wd:Q55
}
|columns=label:Article,description,P131:Place,P580,P582,P625,P18
|section=
|min_section=
|sort=label
|links=text
|thumb=128
|autolist=fallback
|references=all
|summary=itemnumber
|freq=7
|wdedit=yes
}} ... (This will be overwritten by ListeriaBot) ... {{Wikidata list end}}
Parameters
- sparql
- A SPARQL SELECT query. See SPARQL query service examples where many are suitable for Listeria. Needs to return
?itemas the item number. Double curly brackets (for example "}}") should be avoided, for example by inserting a space between them ("} }"). Mandatory - columns
- Defines the columns of the list table. Allowed values are :
number, a serial row number (per section), increasing from 1, according to the initial sorting.label, the wiki-language-based label of the item, linked to the local article (where exists), or the Wikidata item. Labels without values for the wiki-language will show the english label as a fallback.label/xx, the wiki-language-based label of the item, using the given language code (here, "xx"), as plain text. Labels without values for the requested language will show the english label as a fallback.alias/xx, the wiki-language-based list of aliases for the item, using the given language code (here, "xx"), as plain text.description, the manual, or auto-generated description.item, the Q item number.Pxxxa Wikidata property.Pxxx/Pzzz, qualifier properties; for Pxxx linking to an item Qyyy and having a Pzzz qualifier, the Qyyy linked label and the value of Pzzz.Pxxx/Qyyy/Pzzz, qualifier properties; for Pxxx linking to an item Qyyy and having a Pzzz qualifier, the value of Pzzz. This is a version of the above, specific for a single item; e.g., "P553/Q866/P554" to get YouTube account names.?fieldname, a SPARQL result field name (variable).
- A column header is specified by adding ":Header" suffix to the column definition, otherwise the Wikidata property (language) name is used. For quantities (numerical properties) where lower and upper bounds are indicated as nominal value +/- tolerance (for example 15 +/- 5), only the nominal value (15) is shown. Case sensitive. Since the release of May 2021 single quotes are not supported (causes the query to fail with a "not edited" message). Mandatory
- sort
- The initial sort key for the table. Valid values are:
label, the label of the item.family_name, tries to find, and sort by, the family (last) name from the label, assuming items are people. This is a heuristic and may not work properly in all cases. If possible, try to sort by P734 (family name).Pxxx, a Wikidata property.
- Optional
- section
- The list can be sectioned by a Wikidata property. Can be a property number (preferably prefixed by P),
or a(using variables does not work anymore). Optional?fieldname - min_section
- The minimum number of entries to generate a section when used together with
section. All other entries will be put under section "misc". Default 2. Optional - autolist
- If description is a column but no description exists on Wikidata, "autolist=fallback" uses AutoDesc to generate one. Optional
- language
- Label/description language, if different from site language. Optional
- thumb
- The thumbnail width for images (e.g. column P18). Default 128. Optional
- links
- How to render links (properties with datatype item) not in the local Wikipedia. Valid values are:
allto link to Wikidata. Default.localto remove entries for which there exists no local article (the opposite ofred_only).redto generate red links based on label and item.red_onlyto remove entries for which there exists a local article (the opposite oflocal).textto generate blue links for existing pages, and plain text otherwise.reasonatorto generate blue links for existing pages, and links to Reasonator otherwise.
- Optional
- row_template
- Generates a template call rather than a table row; the template must then generate the table row in turn or the table header/footer need to be suppressed using
skip_tableparameter. Parameters passed to the template are the lower-case keys from thecolumnsparameter, e.g.labelorP18. Optional - header_template
- Generates a template call rather than a table header; the template must then generate the table header. No parameters are passed to this template. Recommended to be used with
row_template. Optional - skip_table
- Suppresses the table markup completely when using
row_template. Any value will work. Optional - wdedit
- Generates information that allows Wikidata editing from Wikipedia using this JavaScript. Value needs to be
yes. Does not work whenrow_templateis used. Caution: This will result in larger wikitext than normal, and updates may fail because of that. Optional - references
- Add references. Allowed value is
all. Requires {{reflist}} or similar somewhere in the page. Optional - freq
- Numerical value X; wait at least X days before an automatic update. Default 1. Does not affect updates via web interface. Optional
- summary
- Comma-separated list of keys to add as a summary underneath all other content.
itemnumberThe total number of items (rows) in this list.
- Optional
- one_row_per_item
- Set to
noif the SPARQL has multiple results for the same item, and you want them in separate list rows (since V2). Optional
