Description
தொகுThis 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
தொகுIf 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
தொகுThe template attempts to validate digits for all values and shows an error if the check fails.
Position
தொகுAs 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
தொகு- {{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
தொகுIdentifiers can be selectively suppressed via the |suppress= parameter. For example MusicBrainz artist ID (P434) can be suppressed by typing:
- {{Authority control |suppress=P434}}
Specifying the Wikidata item
தொகுIf 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
தொகுIn 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 |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
தொகுA 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= (but they can't both be used simultaneously).
Examples
தொகு{{Authority control |qid=Q535}}
| பன்னாட்டு | |
|---|---|
| தேசிய | |
| கல்விசார் | |
| கலைஞர் | |
| மக்கள் | |
| மற்றவை | |
{{Authority control |qid=Q34286}}
| பன்னாட்டு | |
|---|---|
| தேசிய | |
| கல்விசார் | |
| கலைஞர் | |
| மக்கள் | |
| மற்றவை | |
{{Authority control |qid=Q352545}}
ஆளுமைக் கட்டுப்பாடு – Harry Forbes Witherby | |
|---|---|
| பன்னாட்டு | |
| தேசிய | |
| கலைஞர் | |
| மக்கள் | |
| மற்றவை | |
{{Authority control (arts) |country=SV |qid=Q187310}}
ஆளுமைக் கட்டுப்பாடு – Carl Larsson | |
|---|---|
| பன்னாட்டு | |
| தேசிய | |
| கலைஞர் | |
| மக்கள் | |
| மற்றவை | |
Rendering
தொகுThe template is split into a number of sections, including "International", "National", "Academics", "Artists" etc. The template usually displays as a navbox with a header:
ஆளுமைக் கட்டுப்பாடு – Stefano della Bella | |
|---|---|
| பன்னாட்டு | |
| தேசிய | |
| கல்விசார் | |
| கலைஞர் | |
| மக்கள் | |
| மற்றவை | |
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:
ஆளுமைக் கட்டுப்பாடு – Bonnie and Clyde | |
|---|---|
| Bonnie Parker | |
| Clyde Barrow | |
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}}
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.
Microformat
தொகுThe 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
தொகுWarning: 45 articles have faulty authority control information, see All articles with faulty authority control information.
The template gets its information from the following properties on Wikidata: Lua error in Module:Authority_control/documentation at line 67: attempt to index field 'datavalue' (a nil value).
Additional tracking categories
தொகுThis template may add the following categories:
- பகுப்பு:Pages with authority control identifiers needing attention (340) – category to track errors
- பகுப்பு:Pages using authority control with parameters (2) – identifiers should be migrated to Wikidata
- பகுப்பு:All articles with faulty authority control information (45) - faulty identifiers to fix
