Template:Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox/doc

Testing sandbox for a wikidata-aware Infobox book.

This uses a 'blacklist' of fields that will never be displayed, by using the parameter |suppressfields, e.g.: | suppressfields = dewey; congress

It uses a 'whitelist' of fields that will be fetched from Wikidata, by using the parameter |fetchwikidata (unless the field is suppressed or a local value is supplied), e.g.: | fetchwikidata = author; genre; pub_date; pages; dewey; congress

Any separators can be used, except | and {} as you might expect.

The snag will be if a field name is included inside another field name like "date" is inside "pub_date". Try to avoid naming parameters like that.

As a shorthand the whitelist of fields to be fetched from Wikidata can be given the value ALL, for all available fields. | fetchwikidata = ALL

Parameters supported so far are: author

genre

pub_date

pages

dewey

congress

No Wikidata
Works as a non-aware infobox: only locally supplied parameters are displayed. The blacklist and whitelist can be omitted if unused

All Wikidata
Fetches all of its values from Wikidata. As shorthand, the fetchwikidata can be set to ALL to fetch all available fields. Any of them can be suppressed by suppressfields, or overridden by supplying a local value.

Never display genre
The genre field will always be suppressed, even if a local value is supplied.

Local override
The genre field is set to display "Political satire", no matter what is stored in Wikidata. The genre field is set to display "Novel", no matter what is stored in Wikidata.

Don't fetch genre
The genre field will not be fetched from Wikidata.
