Template:Query page

Template documentation

A template for queries stored on a dedicated wiki page. Store the query using this template, and it can be transcluded into other wiki pages into a variety of formats.

Examples

Two examples have been set up at Template:query page/sandbox and Template:query page/sandbox 2. See their talk pages for examples of the transclusion styles.

Query page usage

This template is meant to be used once on a wiki page, with no other content on the page (making that page a “query page”). To use multiple queries on a page, create one subpage per query, then transclude each subpage into your main page as discussed below.

Minimal example:

{{query page
|style={{{style|}}}
|title=Some title
|query=SELECT (1 AS ?example) WHERE {}
}}

Typical example:

{{query page
|style={{{style|}}}
|title=Some title
|original_tweet_url=https://twitter.com/WikidataFacts/...
|original_toot_url=https://mastodon.social/@WikidataFacts/...
|query=SELECT (1 AS ?example) WHERE {}
}}

For the full list of parameters, see the template data.

Note that the above inputboxes don’t add any prefix to the title. If you’re planning to use this template regularly, you probably want to copy them to some subpage of your user page and add an appropriate prefix parameter there. See the inputbox at User:TweetsFactsAndQueries/Queries for an example of this.

Transclusion usage

Suppose you want to use/reference the query that’s stored at User:TweetsFactsAndQueries/Queries/EGOT winners.

For a {{SPARQL}} block:

{{User:TweetsFactsAndQueries/Queries/EGOT winners|style=SPARQL}}

For a link to the query:

{{User:TweetsFactsAndQueries/Queries/EGOT winners|style=link}}

For the URL to the embed page:

{{User:TweetsFactsAndQueries/Queries/EGOT winners|style=url embed}}

For the plain query text, typically used in another template (e. g. {{Wikidata list}}):

{{User:TweetsFactsAndQueries/Queries/EGOT winners|style=query}}

Full list of styles:

• SPARQL
• SPARQL2
• dt SPARQL
• full
• h3 SPARQL
• link
• link embed
• link embed with source
• link with source
• query
• url
