Module talk:Databox

Databox has 2 new parameters

Sorry for posting in English, you can help by translating it

The LUA code in this module contains 2 additional parameters:

• useImage
• excludeProperties

How to use
Both parameters can be included when invoking the databox template: {{Databox}}

• useImage= {{Databox|useImage=add the P18 (image) filename here}}
• excludeProperties= {{Databox|excludeProperties=add comma-separated property ID's here (P105,P171)}}

Parameter behaviour
Both parameters when used will make changes to the invoked databox at the local page level.
They do not affect any other Databoxes on the wiki.

• useImage: This parameter allows the local databox to choose which image of the item's P18 files to display.

A Wikidata item can have multiple files for its property Image (P18). By default, only the most recently uploaded (or Preferred) file will be displayed when a databox is invoked.

• excludeProperties: This parameter allows the local databox to exclude additional properties from being included in the current databox.

Databox code already contains a global list of properties to exclude from displaying, this exclusion list affects all databoxes on the current wiki. Adding or removing properties of the code at Module:Databox will affect all databoxes currently displayed and any future ones. Editors' may want to have more control over what data/properties are shown for individual databoxes to stop it from becoming too long or containing irrelevant data for the current article, page or topic.
