Extension of the lua API to gets statement whose value is the item of a page

Aka inverse properties access. Currently we can only go in lua from an item to the items who appears in the statements or qualifiers or item. We cannot find all statements an item is value of. A discussion about this is going on on Wikidatawiki, input from community is more than welcome : see d:Wikidata:Requests for comment/Inverse property access for wikis : a lua API request for the development team TomT0m (talk) 13:11, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Errors with the first citation on FLAC

The wikidata reference includes both a title and a URL, but the citation shows as having an error. I'm not familiar enough with the wikidata process to debug further. Could someone shed some light please? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:58, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris: The referenced documentation actually sheds a small beam of light:

To fix this error, check if the reference has the required properties and doesn't have any unknown properties, as described above.

The unknown property could be house publication (P2813). --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 15:29, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome - managed to fix it by removing that property. Thanks so much! Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 16:13, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Parsing links

In the "using wikidata in Wikipedia articles" section, under parsing data, it says that using the statements function doesn't returns a link if the link is a redirect. The example itself is untrue, as calling for that Egyptologist data will indeed return a redirect link to Egyptology (as clearly shown around 2 lines later...). Is the whole statement untrue, or is there some qualification missing? Either way, it needs to be edited. JoeJShmo^💌 21:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Using getAllStatements

On Module:Authority control we are currently reading the Wikidata item of an article about 150 times for each separate identifier using getBestStatements. I am wondering if it would be more efficient to extract all the statements in one go using getAllStatements and then process them with Lua. Does anyone have any insight into this? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
