सांचो:Authority control/doc

This is a documentation subpage for सांचो:Terminate sentence
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original सांचो page.

This template is used on approximately 2,000,000 pages, or roughly 22394% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Description

This template links Wikipedia articles to various library (and other) catalogue systems, for biographies and other topics.

This template draws its values from Wikidata. A pencil icon gives convenient access to the "Identifiers" section of the corresponding Wikidata item.

Empty instances

If there is no information in Wikidata for the specific subject, an empty instance of this template will be dormant, meaning it will be invisible on the rendered page. Thus, using this template on a page with no authority information is harmless. An empty instance of this template stays dormant in an article, until values are added to Wikidata, when it will then display them.

Validation

The template attempts to validate digits for all values and shows an error if the check fails.

Position

As a metadata template, the Authority control template should be placed after the external links section and navigation templates, immediately before the categories.

Usage

{{Authority control}}

As a general guideline:

Insert the empty version
Click "Show preview" to see which sources are automatically pulled from Wikidata
If you know of more sources, add those sources to the article's Wikidata item, so that other language versions of Wikipedia will automatically benefit.

Suppression of identifiers

Identifiers can be selectively suppressed via the |suppress= parameter. For example:

{{Authority control |suppress=VIAF,LCCN,WORLDCATID}}

Specifying the Wikidata item

If a page is not connected to a Wikidata item (for example, a page in draft space or in project space), you can specify the appropriate item to draw data from, by using the |qid= parameter.

{{Authority control |qid=Q49605590}}

To find the correct item, you can search the database. If there is not yet an existing item, you can create a new item.

As soon as a Wikidata item is connected to a page, this parameter will be ignored so you can remove it from the template.

Additional Wikidata items

In some cases, you might need to specify additional items to draw data from. For example,

Bonnie and Clyde also draws data from Bonnie Parker (Q2319886) and Clyde Barrow (Q3320282)
North Rona also draws data from North Rona Lighthouse (Q28831543)

To specify additional items, you can use the parameters |qid2=, |qid3=, |qid4=, |qid5=.

Examples

Victor Hugo

{{Authority control |qid=Q535}}

Alexander Graham Bell

{{Authority control |qid=Q34286}}

Harry Forbes Witherby

{{Authority control |qid=Q352545}}

Rendering

The template is split into a number of sections, including "General", "National libraries", "Art galleries and museums", etc. The template usually displays as a navbox with a header:

If all identifiers are in the same section, |state= is ignored, and the template displays on one line:

If you use additional qids to draw data from additional wikidata items, then a new section will be added for each. In this case, the identifiers will not be separated further:

Initial visibility: currently defaults to autocollapse

To set this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

|state=collapsed: {{Authority control|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
|state=expanded: {{Authority control|state=expanded}} to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
|state=autocollapse: {{Authority control|state=autocollapse}}
- shows the template collapsed to the title bar if there is a {{navbox}}, a {{sidebar}}, or some other table on the page with the collapsible attribute
- shows the template in its expanded state if there are no other collapsible items on the page

If the |state= parameter in the template on this page is not set, the template's initial visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to autocollapse.
