Template:Mbabel-WIR/doc

Usage

This WP:WPWIR version of the "Museum of Babel" template is for creating a draft article with an infobox and other material based on Wikidata, particularly intended for creating biographies of women. It may be useful for {{Wikidata list}} tables utilized by in-person and online edit-a-thon campaigns. Having an appropriate skeleton draft text preloaded with an image, an infobox, and basic text in the article body can ease the formatting roadblock of new page creation.

To pre-load a draft with this template, place the following in your sandbox or other userspace page, replacing "Wikidata id" with the ID of the subject you want to create a draft for:

{{Mbabel-WIR
 |1 = Wikidata id
 }}

If the item already has an article on English Wikipedia, a link to that is displayed. If not, a red link to start a draft article is displayed, with a name disambiguated.

In the draft article, any time the formal parameter $1 appears in the text of page with text to be preloaded, it is replaced with the Wikidata id, and can be used to display particular properties, etc, through {{Wikidata}}. Usages of {{Wikidata}} will be substituted in the article body but not in the infobox.

This template is inspired by {{Mbabel}}, and by {{Preloaddraft}}, which does something analogous with article title, rather than Wikidata items.
