Inline

@Pigsonthewing: Is there an inline version for use on articles that use them like Industry#External_links? Thanks. 130.88.141.34 (talk) 08:42, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed change

I propose two changes:

Changing "uses" link from "What links here" to "Wikidata SPARQL query result" which can provide to readers actual values of property.
Adding "see talk" link as same as {{Uses Wikidata}}. Because, in Wikidata, useful links and information are basically located in talk page.

Followings are comparison of before and after the change. --Was a bee (talk) 00:52, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed change about link target

Currently this template has 3 link targets.

Data page (d:Property:P40)
Talk page (d:Property talk:P40)
Usage result (uses)

Among these, the first one (data page) is mere data, not human readable format, or difficult to read. So how about change the template style (see the comparison table below).

	Appearance	Link target
Now	Wikidata has the property: child (P40) (see talk; uses)	Data page Talk page Usage result
After change	Wikidata has the property: child (P40) (see uses)	Talk page Usage result

Even within WikiData, talk pages are frequently used as property link targets. For example, see d:Wikidata:Country property navboxes. There are many navigation templates there, and most link targets are talk pages, not data pages. This is basically because WikiData talk pages have human readable summary of the property.

So I think "linking to talk page" is better than "linking to mere data page" for most viewers, including both WikiPedian and WikiDatian. --Was a bee (talk) 16:44, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal of including multiple properties

Currently this template can show only one property. So if there are multiple properties per one article, it is needed to use this template multiple times (for example, at Cardinality#See_also). So I propose adding functionality which enables including multiple properties, by using Module:Uses Wikidata. See comparison below.

If this change is implemented, I'll check and fix all transclusion cases of this template (currently roughly 300 pages[1]) --Was a bee (talk) 21:18, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

	Appearance	Note
Now	Wikidata has the property: group cardinality (P1164) (see uses) Wikidata has the property: cardinality of this set (P2820) (see uses)	Two boxes
After change	Wikidata has the properties: *group cardinality (P1164)* (see uses) *cardinality of this set (P2820)* (see uses)	One box
