UBIO : retrait de l'appel propriété P4728

Bonjour je voudrais supprimer l'appel à UBIO par la propriété P4728. En effet cet appel est périmé, génére des attentes réseaux réseaux iuntiles et le site est fermé depuis de nombreuses années.. Merci d'avance.

Hello, I would like to remove the call to UBIO by the P4728 property. Indeed, this call is outdated, generates network waits and the site has been closed for many years. Thank you in advance.-- Philippe rogez (talk) 09:12, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikidata talk page for the uBio ID has a message saying it was defunct over two years ago, so it seems it's not coming back. I'll comment it out in the configuration file. Would there be any benefit of linking to archive.org or is the information too out of date? — Jts1882 | talk 11:27, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Standard parameter name for Wikidata IDs

At Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Standard parameter name for Wikidata IDs, I propose that we standardise on the most-used property name for Wikidata identifiers, |qid=, instead of |from=, keeping the old name as a working alias, at least for the foreseeable future.

Note also that |from= is used in other templates with different meaning. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:43, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not an easy change as the |from= parameters are scattered everywhere in the code. I did have a go at aliasing |qid= to |from= in function copyTable (lines 147-152) in the sandbox but it didn't work properly, with only the first |qid1= displaying (see example in User:Jts1882/blank). These argument tables are always tricky to modify as they use metatables, although maybe I'm doing something simple wrong. I can't see how to fix it. — Jts1882 | talk 14:26, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jts1882: Here's just an idea, which I haven't tried. Line 233 starts a run through the parameter pairs obtained from frame:getParent().args. What about first making a copy of frame:getParent().args and then converting any occurrences of qidN in the copy to fromN, and then running the for loop on the copy?

However, I'm not convinced that the change is necessary. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:10, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That loop on frame:getParent().args at line 233 may explain why my attempt failed. I was trying to add the |doi= parameters to parentArgs[] table, which is a copy of frame:getParent().args. I don't understand that main part of the code, which seemingly uses both copies, so I'm not going to attempt any changes there. — Jts1882 | talk 16:54, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't understand the logic of the code either, which is why I didn't try making the change, but left it to you! Peter coxhead (talk) 17:10, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
