Template:Wikidata fallback link
 | This template uses Lua: |
Usage
[change source]This template takes a Wikidata entity number as an unnamed parameter and provides a link to the corresponding article on the Simple English Wikipedia, or its Wikidata entity depending on whether the article exists or not.
Article exists
[change source]If the corresponding article exists then a direct link to the article is given (piped to the label on Wikidata).
{{Wikidata fallback link|Q2076202}}→ York- Explanation: York (Q2076202) has a site link to York, South Carolina. This link is piped to York.
Article does not exist
[change source]If the corresponding article does not exist on the Simple English Wikipedia, then a red link is displayed, followed by a link to its item on Wikidata.
{{Wikidata fallback link|Q1897508}}→ Opius danielssoni- Explanation: There is no Simple English Wikipedia article yet for this insect, so a red link is displayed.
{{Wikidata fallback link|Q31692001}}→ Phu Khong- Explanation: There is no Simple English Wikipedia article yet for this mountain, so a red link is displayed.
To suppress the link to Wikidata use |wd=off, e.g.
{{Wikidata fallback link|Q31692001|wd=off}}→ Phu Khong- Explanation: The link to Wikidata is not displayed now.
Label exists but article under that title already exists
[change source]If the corresponding article does not exist on the Simple English Wikipedia but there is a different article at the item's label, then to avoid confusion, the label is not linked.
{{Wikidata fallback link|Q2542189}}→ Ali- Explanation: there is no Simple English Wikipedia article for this fictional character "Ali", but the page Ali already exists (cousin of the prophet Muhammad) so no link is provided.
{{Wikidata fallback link|Q18977043}}→ Bult- Explanation: there is no Simple English Wikipedia article for the Dutch street "Bult", but the page Bult already exists (commune in France) so no link is provided.
Article exists but is a redirect to the current page
[change source]Per WP:SELFRED, if the corresponding article exists but is a redirect to the current page, the label is not linked when the |r=1 parameter is supplied. If the |r=1 parameter is not supplied, the self-redirect is linked as usual.
Example: See Template:Wikidata fallback link/testcases#Article exists but is a redirect to the current page
No label defined
[change source]If there is no English label defined on Wikidata, then just a link to the Wikidata item is displayed. To fix this, please add a label to the Wikidata item.
{{Wikidata fallback link|Q2212427}}→- Explanation: this obscure list of football players does not have an equivalent in the Simple English Wikipedia, and an English label is not defined, so only the Wikidata link can be shown.
{{Wikidata fallback link|Q59208468}}→- Explanation: this Chinese work from the Qing Dynasty on Wikisource has no equivalent in the Simple English Wikipedia, and an English label is not defined, so only the Wikidata link can be shown.
Icon
[change source]The OOjs UI pen icon can be used instead of the [Wikidata] link.
