Értékek linkelése

Sziasztok! Hogyan lehet megoldani a Wikidatából beolvasott értékek linkelését. Konkrétan a Gare de Lorraine TGV cikk infoboxában szereplő Gare & Connexions-azonosító értékét (fream) szeretném linkelni ide: fream – B.Zsolt ^vita 2016. október 17., 14:16 (CEST)

Alapvetően a sablonban szoktuk megadni a formázó URL-t (lásd a {{film infobox}}^(?) vagy a {{személy infobox}}^(?) alját), de valahogy biztos be lehetne olvasni a Wikidatából és a Wikidata-modulhoz hozzáadni mint formatStatements-opció, de ahhoz már tudni kéne luául. – Máté ^(vitalap) 2016. október 17., 14:36 (CEST)

Közben egyelőre így csináltam. Oliv0 ^vita 2016. október 17., 14:40 (CEST)

Így megjelent ott is, ahol nem volt azonosító. Javítottam. – Máté ^(vitalap) 2016. október 17., 14:55 (CEST)

Köszönöm, nekem így tökéletes. Remélem ez alapján a többit is meg fogom tudni majd csinálni! – B.Zsolt ^vita 2016. október 17., 16:22 (CEST)

Hol rontottam el: [1]? :((( – B.Zsolt ^vita 2016. október 17., 23:56 (CEST)

Pontosabban? Milyen szócikk/paraméter/egyéb körülmény esetén volt rossz? – Tacsipacsi ^vita 2016. október 18., 21:27 (CEST)

Már visszavontam, mert egyetlen francia település cikkében sem jelent meg a módosítás után az insee kód. Se kattinthatóan se másképp. – B.Zsolt ^vita 2016. október 18., 23:50 (CEST)

Láttam, hogy visszavontad, azért kérdeztem múlt időben. A probléma pedig az volt, hogy az URL-ben egyenlőségjel szerepelt, így az az előtti rész lett a paraméternév az 1 helyett. Javítva. – Tacsipacsi ^vita 2016. október 20., 19:23 (CEST)

Ahha, na erre soha nem jöttem volna rá magamtól! Köszönöm a javítást! – B.Zsolt ^vita 2016. október 20., 20:15 (CEST)

Kun kódex

Sziasztok! A Kun kódex cikkünk a Wd-ban ezen a lapon van: Q20438725, a 15 nyelven megírt azonos cikk (en: Codex Cumanicus) pedig ezen: Q254633. Kérek valakit, aki a Wd-n otthon van, hogy hozza össze őket, a fölöslegessé váló Q20438725 lapot pedig töröltesse. Köszönettel: – Vadaro ^vita 2016. november 9., 14:54 (CET)

Összevontam, törölni nem kell, sőt nem szabad, az ilyeneket meg kell hagyni átirányításnak. – Máté ^(vitalap) 2016. november 9., 15:10 (CET)

Köszi szépen. – Vadaro ^vita 2016. november 9., 19:55 (CET)
