Infobox
An infobox created from Wikidata, where the links link to pages inside Wikidocumentaries. The values can be edited in Wikidata. Editing can be made available in Wikidocumentaries as well.

- Expand window to reveal all data
Default content
- Type missing: The type of ___ is missing. You can use the first sentence of the article to help choose.
- Description missing: The description for ___ is missing. You can add it by clicking here.
- Name missing in the user's language: In the header part: Title in fallback language. The language in smaller letters. Link: Add title in your language. Icon: Pen.
Formatting
Multiple values
- Generally, all values will be displayed, except when there is one preferred value. In that case only the preferred value is shown.
- Multiple values can either be displayed as a list or conflated to a list with a conjunction between the items, for example: A, B, and C (in English) and A, B ja C (in Finnish)
Qualifiers
- Qualifiers should be displayed when available. There may be complex rules for displaying them…
References
- References should be displayed, maybe as a collapsible part of the statement.
Property-qualifier combos
These properties are used together, one being the qualifier of the other
- P528 catalog code
- P972 catalog as qualifier
- P217 inventory number
- P195 collection as qualifier
Links
- Link structure: domain/page/QID/title (optional)/language-code (optional)
- The link ALWAYS points to/creates a Wikidocumentaries page regardless of whether the title, description or article exist in the user's language
- EXISTING article link is shown normally
- MISSING article link can be styled differently, but the link remains the same.
- EXTERNAL Links with external identifiers will be constructed to point to external resources, and are styled differently.
Location data
It will be possible to derive location data from one type of data. Require only one: coordinates street address
Datatype default display

- About: Link to files stored at Wikimedia Commons. When a value is entered, the "File" namespace on Commons will be searched for matching files.
