قالب:Authority control/related
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 on a new line, 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 [خطأ: الوظيفة "wdurl" غير موجودة. (P434)] can be suppressed by typing:
- {{Authority control |suppress=P434}}
Specifying the Wikidata item
If a page is not connected to a Wikidata item (for example, a page in draft space, user space or 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 the page is connected to a Wikidata item, 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 [خطأ: الوظيفة "wdurl" غير موجودة. Eustace Philip Belgrave Mansel (Q2319886)] and [خطأ: الوظيفة "wdurl" غير موجودة. You're Not Yelping (Q3320282)]
- North Rona also draws data from [خطأ: الوظيفة "wdurl" غير موجودة. (Q28831543)]
To specify additional items, you can use the |additional=
parameter. For example:
{{Authority control | additional = Q2319886, Q3320282}}
To automatically add additional links from related items, use |additional=auto
. This is useful for married couples, musical groups, etc.
Whitelists
A number of whitelists are configured, which allow only a limited selection of identifiers to be displayed. These can be used with the |show=
parameter. For example, including |show=arts
will only show identifiers which have identified as particularly relevant to the arts.
Multiple whitelists may be used. For example: {{Authority control|show=arts,SV}} adds identifiers from the arts and Sweden whitelists.
|country=
can be used as an alias for |show=
.

- {{Authority control (arts) |country=SV |qid=Q187310}}
Rendering
The template is split into a number of sections, including "International", "National", "Academics", "Artists" 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:
This template's initial visibility currently defaults to autocollapse
, meaning that if there is another collapsible item on the page (a navbox, sidebar, or table with the collapsible attribute), it is hidden apart from its title bar; if not, it is fully visible.
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state=
parameter may be used:
{{Authority control|state=collapsed}}
will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar.{{Authority control|state=expanded}}
will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
Microformat
The template wraps each UID value with the HTML markup: <span class="uid">...</span>
, which enables the first-found value to be included in an hCard microformat.
List of identifiers
The template gets its information from the following properties on Wikidata: خطأ: لا توجد وحدة بهذا الاسم "Authority control/documentation".
Additional tracking categories
This template may add the following categories:
- Category:Pages with authority control identifiers needing attention (4) – category to track errors
- Category:Pages using authority control with unknown parameters (364) – identifiers should be migrated to Wikidata
- Category:Articles with faulty authority control information (0) – faulty identifiers to fix
