Module:P703/doc

Description

This module displays organisms from Wikidata property P703 ("found in taxon") with inline citations extracted directly from Wikidata references. It is completely self-contained with zero external module dependencies, making it easily transferable across all Wikimedia projects.

Key Features

• Zero dependencies: No reliance on language-specific citation or Wikidata modules
• Inline citations: Automatically extracts and formats bibliographic data from Wikidata
• Smart interwiki linking: Links to local articles, fallback to other languages, or Wikidata
• Highly configurable: Customizable display count and citation behavior
• Internationalization ready: Easy to translate via i18n table

Usage

Basic Syntax

{{#invoke:P703|main}}

With Custom Parameters

{{#invoke:P703|main|qid=Q3613679|numval=10|sources=true}}

In Infoboxes

|organisms={{#if: {{#property:P703}} | {{#invoke:P703|main}} | }}

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default Value	Valid Values
qid	Wikidata entity ID to query	Current page's QID	Any valid Q-identifier (e.g., Q3613679)
numval	Maximum organisms to display	5	Any positive integer
sources	Display inline citations	true	true, false, yes, no

Behavior

The module adapts its output based on the number of organisms found:

Scenario	Output Format	Example
No organisms	Returns localized "no known organism" message	no known organism
1–n organisms	Shows count and complete list	3 organisms: Human, Mouse, Rat
More than n organisms	Shows count with "including" prefix	15 organisms, including: Human, Mouse, Rat, Dog, Cat

Examples

Example 1: Standard Use (Current Page)

{{#invoke:P703|main}}

Output: 2 organisms: Human, Mouse

Example 2: Specific Entity

{{#invoke:P703|main|qid=Q3613679}}

Output: Displays organisms for Wikidata item Q3613679

Example 3: Display 20 Organisms

{{#invoke:P703|main|numval=20}}

Output: 25 organisms, including: [first 20 organisms]

Example 4: Without Citations

{{#invoke:P703|main|sources=false}}

Output: 5 organisms: Human, Mouse, Rat, Dog, Cat (no reference tags)

Example 5: Combine All Parameters

{{#invoke:P703|main|qid=Q2079986|numval=3|sources=true}}

Output: 10 organisms, including: Organism₁, Organism₂, Organism₃

Citation Format

When sources=true (default), the module automatically extracts and formats bibliographic data from Wikidata references:

Supported Fields:

• Authors (up to 3, then "et al.")
• Article title (with optional URL)
• Journal name (italicized)
• Volume (bold) and issue number
• Page numbers
• Publication year
• DOI and PMID identifiers

Example Citation:

Smith J, Jones A, Williams B et al. "Protein Expression in Model Organisms". 
Nature Genetics 45 (3): pp. 123-130. (2023). doi:10.1038/ng.3456. pmid:12345678.

Interwiki Linking Logic

The module intelligently chooses the best link for each organism:

1. Local wiki article exists → [[Local Article|Label]]
2. Article exists on another wiki → Label (lang)
3. No article found → Label (d)

This ensures users can always access information about the organism, even if no local article exists.

Internationalization

To adapt this module for other languages, edit the i18n table in the code:

local i18n = {
    no_organism = "aucun organisme connu",     -- French example
    including = "dont",
    wd_label = "d",
    separator = ", ",
    organism = "organisme",
    organisms = "organismes"
}

Technical Details

Performance Optimizations

• Entity caching: Prevents redundant API calls for referenced sources
• Lazy evaluation: Only fetches data when needed
• Efficient claim processing: Stops at numval limit

Zero Dependencies

Unlike most modules, P703 is completely self-contained:

• N No Module:LanguageSpecificModule
• Y Direct Wikibase API usage only

This makes it:

• Easy to deploy on any Wikimedia project
• Maintainable without external module updates
• Consistent across different language wikis

Error Handling

Scenario	Module Response
No QID provided	Uses current page's Wikidata item
Invalid QID	Returns "no known organism"
No P703 claims	Returns "no known organism"
Missing reference data	Gracefully omits citation
Malformed citation data	Includes available fields only
