Usage

A wrapper for {{Citation}}, which calls available values from Wikidata.

By default, if there are more than eight author names, the template displays three, followed by "et al". This can be changed using |display-authors=; setting that parameter to all displays them all. The same applies to multiple editors – see the test-case pages.

Citations of papers which have been retracted (is retracted by (P5824)) will appear in Category:Cite Q - cites a retracted work.

Citations of papers which have been replaced (replaced by (P1366)) will appear in Category:Cite Q - cites a replaced work.

Parameters

• |1= = Wikidata QID for the article

Additionally, any named parameter used in {{citation}} may be entered and will overwrite the value in Wikidata. Using such parameters, with a value of unset, will suppress display of data from Wikidata.
