@ Pigsonthewing: Is there an inline version for use on articles that use them like Industry#External_links? Thanks. 130.88.141.34 ( talk) 08:42, 25 July 2014 (UTC)
Where is the equivalent for P of Template:Q? Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:16, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
I propose two changes:
Followings are comparison of before and after the change. -- Was a bee ( talk) 00:52, 10 March 2018 (UTC)
Currently this template has 3 link targets.
Among these, the first one (data page) is mere data, not human readable format, or difficult to read. So how about change the template style (see the comparison table below).
Appearance | Link target | |

Even within WikiData, talk pages are frequently used as property link targets. For example, see d:Wikidata:Country property navboxes. There are many navigation templates there, and most link targets are talk pages, not data pages. This is basically because WikiData talk pages have human readable summary of the property.
So I think "linking to talk page" is better than "linking to mere data page" for most viewers, including both WikiPedian and WikiDatian. -- Was a bee ( talk) 16:44, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
Currently this template can show only one property. So if there are multiple properties per one article, it is needed to use this template multiple times (for example, at Cardinality#See_also). So I propose adding functionality which enables including multiple properties, by using Module:Uses Wikidata. See comparison below.
If this change is implemented, I'll check and fix all transclusion cases of this template (currently roughly 300 pages [1]) -- Was a bee ( talk) 21:18, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
