Parsing links
[edit]In the "using wikidata in Wikipedia articles" section, under parsing data, it says that using the statements function doesn't returns a link if the link is a redirect. The example itself is untrue, as calling for that Egyptologist data will indeed return a redirect link to Egyptology (as clearly shown around 2 lines later...). Is the whole statement untrue, or is there some qualification missing? Either way, it needs to be edited. JoeJShmo馃拰 21:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Using getAllStatements
[edit]On Module:Authority control we are currently reading the Wikidata item of an article about 150 times for each separate identifier using getBestStatements
. I am wondering if it would be more efficient to extract all the statements in one go using getAllStatements
and then process them with Lua. Does anyone have any insight into this? 鈥斅燤artin (MSGJ聽路聽talk) 09:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Interlanguage links for redirects
[edit]@MSGJ: could you describe the up-to-date practice for using redirects in interlanguage links, please? thanks! fgnievinski (talk) 01:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- I've reread wikidata:Wikidata:Sitelinks_to_redirects#To_enter_a_sitelink_to_a_redirect_select_the_badge_first and I get it now; I've now updated the explanation at en:Wikipedia:Wikidata. fgnievinski (talk) 04:59, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
- For some reason I did not receive any notification of this post. But I'm glad you sorted it 鈥斅燤artin (MSGJ聽路聽talk) 10:02, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

"Wikidata item" link is missing from side panel "Tools"
[edit]The article says "From a Wikipedia page, you can go to the link "Wikidata item", using "Tools" in the side panel" but my interface does not show the "Wikidata item" link. I am using an ipad in desktop mode, default skin. I worked around this problem by making the desired change on the Wikidata website but surely I am not the only person having this problem?

- In the last few days, the link has been moved to the "in other projects" section of the side panel 鈥斅燤artin (MSGJ聽路聽talk) 21:30, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
