Proposed changes[edit]

I am proposing the following changes, to make this template more useful and easy to use – as implemented in the sandbox using Module:Uses Wikidata (see testcases)

Allow unlimited number of properties to be listed in the box, instead of just one
Retrieve the property labels from Wikidata, rather than requiring users to enter them manually
- Shows "NO LABEL" if a label can not be retrieved from Wikidata – ie, if the property doesn't yet exist, has been deleted, or no English label has been set
Display an uppercase letter P, regardless of whether input was upper- or lowercase
Place the label before the P-number, and display the P-number in small text – labels are much more informative than random numbers

Add a link[edit]

Please can someone add a talk page link, so that instead of, say,:

This template uses the Wikidata property: ORCID (P496) (see uses)

the content reads:

This template uses the Wikidata property: ORCID (P496) (see talk; uses)

since the talk page is actually where a lot of the documentation, and constraints, resides. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:04, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed change about link target of uses[edit]

I'm proposing changing "uses" link from "What links here" to "Wikidata SPARQL query result". Query result is more useful and informative for visitors. Before and after comparison is put at Template_talk:Wikidata_property#Proposed change (different template, but I'm proposing same change). --Was a bee (talk) 03:26, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed change about link target[edit]

I'm proposing changing link target simplification. Before and after comparison is put at Template_talk:Wikidata_property#Proposed change about link target (different template, but I'm proposing same change). --Was a bee (talk) 18:04, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added bullet symbol as image[edit]

Because <ui> and <li> tags don't work as intended in the template (no bullete symbols are shown), I added bullet symbol () as image (diff). If there are problems about this edit, please revert. If anyone knows proper solution about this problem, please fix the code. Thanks. --Was a bee (talk) 19:12, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
