  • The search searches Wikidata for exact matches and presents the options in a pulldown.
  • A result row contains one line for the title and another line for the description.
  • A row can also contain an image for the topic, and display an icon for the item classification. This would require an item class ontology.

Additional options

Additional options will be included as links in the end of the pulldown

  • Create a topic launches the Create topic modal.
  • Show more displays more search results in the pulldown
  • Show all results displays all search results in a Search results module or page.

Challenges

You need to know what you are looking for. The search does not use fuzzy methods.

Other uses for the topic pulldown

Similar pulldown can be used in other contexts, such as

  • Red links – to search for existing Wikidata items or to create a missing one.
  • User selected text – similar functionality but for arbitrary text. Likely cannot produce the link in the original Wikipedia article.
  • Keyword pulldowns in the Image viewer associate keywords with items in Wikidata.
