When adding an infobox using data from Wikidata, please check for consistency with the article and its references, and to address the inconsistencies observed, which can be done by amending the article or the Wikidata entry, or by supplying a better value to the infobox as a local parameter if this is what emerges from the sources.

This version of {{Infobox deity}} retrieves various parameter values from Wikidata if enabled ("opt-in"), but only in the absence of a locally supplied value. The template calls Module:Wikidata and Module:WikidataIB.

It allows editors at the article level to blacklist various fields so that they do not display. This makes a positive statement that those fields are unsuitable for inclusion in that article's infobox.

Usage[edit]

Basic[edit]

Rama
Texts	Ramayana
Personal information
Born	Ayodhya
Died	Sarayu
Parents	Dasharatha  (father) Kausalya  (mother)
Siblings	Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna, Shanta
Spouse	Sita

Just use:

{{infobox deity/Wikidata | fetchwikidata=ALL}}

and you should get a Wikidata-filled infobox! (Providing the article is linked to a Wikidata entry containing relevant information!). The |onlysourced= is set to "yes" by default.

Fetching un-sourced info[edit]

Rama
Weapon	bow and arrow
Texts	Ramayana, Ramcharitmanas
Festivals	Rama Navami, Vivaha Panchami, Diwali, Vijayadashami, war between Rama and Ravana
Personal information
Born	Unknown  Ayodhya
Died	Unknown  Sarayu
Parents	Dasharatha  (father) Kausalya  (mother)
Siblings	Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna, Shanta
Spouse	Sita
Children	Kusha, Lava
Dynasty	Solar dynasty

Just use:

{{infobox deity/Wikidata | fetchwikidata=ALL | onlysourced=no}}

This can be used outside of BLPs if the editor wishes to see all of the information, sourced and unsourced, available on Wikidata. Generally, though, it is better not to use |onlysourced= as it will help to reduce the effects here of unsourced vandalism on Wikidata.

Using custom values[edit]

In addition to above, you can also add custom values, or use custom values instead of wikidata values.

Rama
Affiliation	Avatar of Vishnu
Texts	Ramayana
Personal information
Born	Ayodhya
Died	Sarayu
Parents	Dasharatha  (father) Kausalya  (mother)
Siblings	Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna, Shanta
Spouse	Sita

{{Infobox deity/Wikidata
 | fetchwikidata=ALL
 | affiliation = Avatar of Vishnu
}}
