ମଡ୍ୟୁଲ:ResolveEntityId
This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. |
This Lua module is used on approximately ୧୨,୦୦,୦୦୦ pages, or roughly 1471% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]Functions similarly to mw.wikibase.resolvePropertyId, but for Wikidata entities instead of properties.
Returns an entity id for the given label or id. This allows using the entity's labels instead of ids in all places. If no entity was found for the label or id, or if the label is ambiguous, a nil value is returned.
When attempting to resolve a label, only entities with English Wikipedia sitelinks are considered in the search. If a label exists in Wikidata, but does not have the requisite language sitelink, a nil value is returned.
Call from within a module (_id)
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]Example calls within a module might look like the following:
Code | Result |
---|---|
local resolveEntity = require( "Module:ResolveEntityId" )
id = resolveEntity._id('Q42')
|
id = Q42
|
local resolveEntity = require( "Module:ResolveEntityId" )
id = resolveEntity._id('Q0')
|
id = nil
|
local resolveEntity = require( "Module:ResolveEntityId" )
id = resolveEntity._id('Q404')
|
id = Q404
|
local resolveEntity = require( "Module:ResolveEntityId" )
id = resolveEntity._id('Q151384451555')
|
id = nil
|
local resolveEntity = require( "Module:ResolveEntityId" )
id = resolveEntity._id('Douglas Adams')
|
id = nil
|
local resolveEntity = require( "Module:ResolveEntityId" )
id = resolveEntity._id('ThisIsNotARealWikidataItem')
|
id = nil
|
local resolveEntity = require( "Module:ResolveEntityId" )
id = resolveEntity._id('ThisIsNotARealWikidataItem', 'Wikidata ID not found!')
|
id = 'Wikidata ID not found!'
|
Use from within a template (entityid)
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]The following will return the entity id (or nil
if the ID doesn't exist):
{{#invoke:ResolveEntityId|entityid|id}}
The following will return the entity id (or the alternate text if the ID doesn't exist):
{{#invoke:ResolveEntityId|entityid|id|alternate text if id is nil}}
Deprecated (_entityid)
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]The _entityid
function, which required that the frame be passed as the first argument, has been deprecated because workarounds are no longer needed for phab:T143970.
local p = {}
function p._entityid(_,id,alt)
-- backwards compatibility for deprecated _entityid function
return p._id(id,alt)
end
function p._id(id,alt)
if type(id) == 'string' then
id = mw.ustring.upper(mw.ustring.sub(id,1,1))..mw.ustring.sub(id,2)
if mw.ustring.match(id,'^Q%d+$') then
-- id is in the proper format for a Wikidata entity
if mw.wikibase.isValidEntityId(id) then
-- id is valid
id = mw.wikibase.getEntity(id)
if id then
-- entity exists
return id.id
end
end
else
id = mw.wikibase.getEntityIdForTitle(id)
if id then
-- id is a title that matches a Wikidata entity
local instanceOf = mw.wikibase.getBestStatements(id, 'P31')[1] --instance of
if instanceOf and instanceOf.mainsnak.datavalue.value.id ~= 'Q4167410' then
-- not disambiguation
return mw.wikibase.getEntity(id).id
elseif instanceOf == nil then
-- id is a title, but is missing an instance-of value
return mw.wikibase.getEntity(id).id
