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.

• From Wikidata link and Wikidata icon: make clearer to readers and editors that the data and information presented in the databox is sourced from Wikidata (as it won't be shown in the edit screen), and can navigate them to the top of the Wikidata item.
