Help with use of WIKIDATAFACTS

[alexrollin]

Hello! with the WIKIDATAFACTS function, is it possible to grab the taxon common name in Indonesian, shown underlined here in red?

Help with the syntax would be very welcome for both :

• opt_multiObj | string= | Whether to return all object values (pass all) or just the first (pass first) when there are more than one object values (optional).
  • opt_properties | Array opt_properties Limit the resulting facts to a list of properties (optional).

I don't understand the instructions, and there isn't an example in the docs that uses the string= argument.

It is indeed possible. =WIKIDATAFACTS( A1,"first","P1843") where Cell A1 is id:Cipoh_kacat

(or you may enter directly in a single cell like =WIKIDATAFACTS("id:Cipoh_kacat","first","P1843")

This uses three parameters, (the language code:ArticleName), number (order) of the entry to be displayed and the property to be displayed.

However, the help documentation for certain functions such as this, is too short. It will be great if the documentation can be in more detail and descriptive. :)

Thanks for helping out, @viswam. I have a backlog of open issues that I want to address at some point, so any help with improving the docs is welcome. Here is the to-be-expanded example section. You need to check the file locally to make sure the indentation with the <pre> works fine. I'm closing this very Issue.
