Template:Infobox book/Wikidata/Sandbox
Testing sandbox for a wikidata-aware Infobox book.
This uses a 'blacklist' of fields that will never be displayed, by using the parameter |suppressfields, e.g.:
| suppressfields = dewey; congress
It uses a 'whitelist' of fields that will be fetched from Wikidata, by using the parameter |fetchwikidata (unless the field is suppressed or a local value is supplied), e.g.:
| fetchwikidata = author; genre; pub_date; pages; dewey; congress
Any separators can be used, except | and {} as you might expect.
The snag will be if a field name is included inside another field name like "date" is inside "pub_date". Try to avoid naming parameters like that.
As a shorthand the whitelist of fields to be fetched from Wikidata can be given the value ALL, for all available fields.
| fetchwikidata = ALL
Parameters supported so far are:
- author
- genre
- pub_date
- pages
- dewey
- congress
