Exploring #property for works - Wikisource-l

19 Jul 2014

I'm trying to realize how {{#property:}} works, and I'm confused. From my
tests, it only works inside pages linked with a wikidata element - and they
show the wikidata property for that wikidata element.

Only one page for project can be linked to to a wikidata element - so, a
ns0 wikisource "book" can be linked to a wikidata edition element, but
can't be linked, in the same time, with the related wikidata work element.
So, I can't use #property tag to get properties of work items, but only for
*edition* items.

It I want to retrieve propetries of a *work* wikidata element bu #property,
I've to create a specific wikisource page for the work, then to link it to
wikidata work element - then using #property inside it.

So far, the syntax to call a property of a wikidata element different from
the element linked to current page seems not work.

So, I opened two *work* pages into it.wikisource, [[:it:Wikisource:Tommaso
Moro (Pellico)]] and [[:it:Wikisource:Eufemio da Messina]], I linked them
to Q15987095 and Q15987085, and I'm doing some test using those pages. I
used nsWikisource just to avoid any possible mismatch between *works* and
*editions".
