The generic "fetch property values" that I wrote is capable of replacing #property in a more intelligent manner - documented at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Wikidata For simple cases though, #property will work - for example if you paste the following into any section of an article and **preview** it, it will return the image from Wikidata: {{#if: {{#property:p18}} | [[File:{{#property:p18}}|thumb]] |}} Similarly, in an infobox, just using |image = {{#property:p18}} will work fine. However, Wikidata can store multiple image filenames, so the question is: how do you want to deal with those cases? Building a Lua call to return an image or something like Noimage.svg is a trivial job : I've made a demo module at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Sandbox/RexxS/Images If you paste {{#invoke:Sandbox/RexxS/Images|getImage}} into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Kafka and preview it you'll see "Kafka portrait.jpg" If you paste {{#invoke:Sandbox/RexxS/Images|getImage}} into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangthwaite and preview it you'll see " Noimage.svg" Obviously calls can be buried inside templates to hide them from editors - either an infobox or create a template to make the image as a thumb outside of an infobox, etc. -- Rexx On 3 September 2014 12:42, Andy Mabbett <a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk> wrote: > On 3 September 2014 04:51, Jane Darnell <jane...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I would like the same sort of thing for use on the English Wikipedia for > > pictures, so for example if you link to the Wikidata item image property > and > > this is filled with a value, it will present the image that is on > Wikidata, > > and if not, will present an alternate such as [1].
