Functions callable from Lua

p.getClaims returns claims in a particular item that match a particular query

• item (required): its Qid
• property (required) property that the claims should have
• qualifier = qualifiers that the statement should have
• withrank = rank of the statement ; 'preferred', 'normal', 'deprecated' or 'valid' (ie. normal and preferred). By default = preferred.
• sourceproperty = this property should be used in the source
• withsource = the source that should be provided in the statement (if sourceproperty is not provided, the property used is stated in (P248))
• excludespecial = set to true if you do not want to get "novalue" and "somevalue".
• numval = if you want to set a maximum number of values to be returned
• sorttype = set to "chronological" to get the statements in chronological order using the start time (P580), end time (P582) and point in time (P585) qualifiers. Set to "inverted" for chronological order. From a Lua module, you can also define your own sorting criteria.
• showsource = set to "true" if you want the source of the statement to be displayed.

p.formatStatements(args): returns a string containing the statements given in the table args. Same keys as getClaims, plus formatting arguments:

• lang (required) for the desired language
• displayformat = the format in which the args should be returned. For example, for a string-type property displayformat = "weblink" returns a formatted weblink.
• conj = the conjunction separating the statements. For example, conj = '<br />' will make a new line between each statement.
• showqualifiers = the qualifiers that should be shown along with the mainsnak value

p.getLabel get the label of an entity

• entity = entity ID with its Q or P
• lang

Functions callable from wikitext

• p.formatStatementsE same as p.formatStatements, except that "lang" is not required. It is most conveniently used from {{Data}} that takes exactly the same arguments.
• p.getLabel get the label of an entity
