Wikipedia link

[dominiclooser]

Perhaps I did not see it, is there a possibility to get the wikipedia link? I think that's not a normal property.

Hi Dominic @dominiclooser!

Thank you for opening up the issue,

We can't do that right now 😌. I don't think it's normal property, but it's something return in the Wikidata API under sitelinks (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q42.json)

For reference, the API response for a certain item(Q42):

     "sitelinks": {
        "enwiki": {
          "site": "enwiki",
          "title": "Douglas Adams",
          "badges": [

          ],
          "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams"
        },
        "enwikiquote": {
          "site": "enwikiquote",
          "title": "Douglas Adams",
          "badges": [

          ],
          "url": "https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams"
        },

So we could easily add one new component wd-link (I'm thinking we should have new component for Link, just for the explicitly)

<wd-link 
    id="Q42" 
    sitelink="enwiki"
    # everyother attrs you can pass to HTML anchor tag
    alt="hover text" />Douglas Adams</wd-link>

to render an HTML a tag

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Adams" alt="hover text">Douglas Adams </a>

Would this solve your problem? Happy to know more about your idea and what you want to achieve using this!

Best Li

Dear Li Thanks a lot for your answer and sorry for my late answer. I didn't get noticed and I didn't check manually. I am in the process of embedding wikidata data into my websites. One example is this: https://dominiclooser.netlify.com/empfehlungen/uw/ (work in progress). Here I did recommend films, books and people to a friend. In the background I just put in wikidata id's, and the actual label is fetched via your wonderfull web components. In the moment it's not a big difference to manually writing the name but in the future and want to build overlays with more infos about the items (similar to infoboxes). I starting to use this for a lot of different webpages. I love it. And your web components are very useful. Wikipedia links could be nice for these infoboxes. I am not sure if a separate component is the best way to implement, but I am not opposed to the idea. Thanks a lot for work! Best Dominic

Hey Dominic,

It's really good to hear back from you!

Your site looks really cool, and to be honest, the way you're using this is exactly what I have in mind to built the tool for. I'm now working in the new tag which can use to render the wikipedia links (or any other link for a given property in wikidata for that matter, for example: P856 )

Will likely to have a working beta version available for you test, will let you know!

Thanks again for using this, more ideas and comments are welcome. ❤️

@dominiclooser this is now possible in the 0.1.0 version!

Have a try and let me know if that works for you 🤞 https://github.com/lisongx/wikidata-elements#a-iswd-link , thanks again for opening this issue.

@dominiclooser feel free to close the issue if you think this solve your problem

Dear Li Thanks a lot for your work! Highly appreciated. I am just trying out the new link element, but it doesn't seem to work correctly. The href attribute does not get populated. I tried the following examples:

<a is='wd-link' entity-id='Q669591' site='enwiki'>English Wikipedia</a>

<a is='wd-link' entity-id='Q669591' property='P856'>Official Website</a>

<a is='wd-link' entity-id=#{entity.id} property='P345'>IMDB</a>

Did I do something wrong? I'm testing with current Chrome.

I assume you are using the new version!

The code looks 100% correct to me, do you have a JSBin where you can reproduce that?

I’ll give it a try tomorrow, will let you know what I find out. Thanks for testing this!

[dominiclooser]

I guess I found the error, checking it out ... you are hearing from me ... Cheers!

[dominiclooser]

It works! I feel so silly, my code still used the old version although I updated it.

Thanks again for your work! I'm already far with the overlay and can show you soon the new version.
