Wikidata alternative

Hi! There is now a property for Sports Reference ID in Wikidata. I have imported the IDs used in this template from all Wikipedias, so it can now be used on Wikipedias by using a module. I have made a module in the Norwegian (Bokmål) Wikipedia that can be copied here and be used with some modification – if you would like me to help set it up, I'd be more than happy to help (just let me know). The module will use the ID from Wikidata preferentially, but if there is no ID on Wikidata it can take an argument from the local wiki, and will categorise pages that are missing the ID in Wikidata. The reason I set it up that way is that I discovered there are many erroneous IDs used on Wikipedias, and it is much simpler to fix in Wikidata, especially since we have this nifty report of errors. One more thing, the Wikidata property does not support links for countries (and country-specific Olympic articles), but that can easily be circumvented in the template itself. Let me know if you'd like me to help set it up here as well! Jon Harald Søby (Diskussion) 22:23, 29. Aug. 2014 (MESZ)

@Holder, as template creator, do you have any comments? :-) Jon Harald Søby (Diskussion) 17:46, 3. Sep. 2014 (MESZ)

Hi Jon Harald Søby. It would be very nice if you could help us with this template. Feel free to create such a module. Best regards. --Holder (Diskussion) 18:47, 3. Sep. 2014 (MESZ)

The module is created at Modul:SportsReference, Holder. It needs translation on lines 12–14, 34 and 40. Lines 34 and 40 are optional maintenance categories, but I would suggest you create them, because it makes it very easy to see what is missing from Wikidata. Once that is done, you should change this template to the following:

{{#if: {{{2|}}}|[http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/countries/{{{1|}}}/ {{{NAME|{{PAGENAME}}}}}] in dr Datebank vu ''Sports-Reference.com'' (änglisch) |{{#invoke:SportsReference|link|{{{1|}}}}} }}

And update the documentation (see en:Template:Sports-reference/doc for reference). Sorry that it's so much work, but it makes things easier in the long run. :-) Jon Harald Søby (Diskussion) 02:37, 4. Sep. 2014 (MESZ)

Thank you very much! --Holder (Diskussion) 07:28, 4. Sep. 2014 (MESZ)
