This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing.

Functions

getIdentifierQualifier

This returns the value of a qualifier for an identifier such as (P1367).

There is an assumption is that one value exists for the property, and only one qualifier exists for that value.

Constraint violations for (P1367) are at d:Wikidata:Databasereports/Constraintviolations/P1367 #Single_value

Usage

Normally use like this within a template for use in the article concerned:

{{#invoke:WikidataIdentifiers |getIdentifierQualifier |<property> |qual=<qualifier>}}

If used outside of the related article, an expensive version of the call is available:

{{#invoke:WikidataIdentifiers |getIdentifierQualifier |<property> |qual=<qualifier> |qid=<Q-value for target in Wikidata}}
