Module:Is instance/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Usage

[edit]

{{#invoke:Is instance|main|qid=|value=}}

This module will use Wikidata properties instance of (P31) and subclass of (P279) to determine whether or not an entity is an instance of some other entity.

Example

[edit]

For example:

To know that HMS Ark Royal (Q847672) is an instance of ship (Q11446), you can use:

{{#invoke:Is instance|main|qid=Q847672|value=Q11446}} = 3

The output number indicates the minimum recursion depth to find the value required. An output of zero indicates that the item is not an instance.

Maximum depth

[edit]

For performance considerations, the module will not go on searching indefinitely. The default maximum recursion depth is 5. If you want to change this, use the |maxdepth= parameter.
