Template:Mbabel/doc

Usage
See Mbabel for more information and documentation.

This "Museum of Babel" template is for creating a draft article with an infobox and other material based on Wikidata, particularly intended for items in museum collections. 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, a full infobox, and basic text in the article body can ease the formatting roadblock of new page creation.

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 title disambiguated by the artist, or if there is none, by the collecting institution.

In the draft article, any time the formal parameter  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 Preloaddraft, which does something analogous with article title, rather than Wikidata items.
