Adding 2 new parameters for Databox

Apologies for posting in English, if you would like to translate it, it would be very appreciated

Hello all,

The Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects team would like to add two new optional parameters to your Databox module. If not used, Databox behaves exactly as before If used, they are called when invoking the {{Databox}} template.

Summary of changes

• useImage = allows you to select which image to use (when there are multiple options)

• excludeProperties = create a Property+Value blacklist unique to this article.

Lets you hide specific Property+Value pairs for this article only, useful if the Wikidata item contains properties that aren’t relevant to this article but are still needed elsewhere.

• Wikidata Icon and link to Item = makes clearer the source of the information presented in Databox, and deposits interested editors at the top of the Item (rather than the specific Statement when clicking on the pencil icon).

The changes would be clearly marked in the version history for easy reversion. If you have any concerns or queries, please reach out to me, either reply here or the projects databox changes talk page. We would plan to add these changes before next Wednesday if there is no opposition Thank you, - Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (yeewtu) 16:58, 19 Jolal 2025 (UTC)
