Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]{{Infobox scientist/Wikidata}} may be used to summarize information about a person who is a scientist, medic, engineer, mathematician or (scientific) academic.
This template may also be used as a module (sub-template) of {{Infobox person/Wikidata}}; see Wikipedia:Infobox modules for guidance on such usage.
This version of {{Infobox scientist}} retrieves various parameter values from Wikidata if enabled ("opt-in"), but only in the absence of a locally supplied value. The template calls Module:Wikidata and Module:WikidataIB.
It allows editors at the article level to blacklist various fields so that they do not display. This makes a positive statement that those fields are unsuitable for inclusion in that article's infobox.

Just use:
{{infobox scientist/Wikidata | fetchwikidata=ALL}}
and you should get a Wikidata-filled infobox! (Providing the article is linked to a Wikidata entry containing relevant information!). This will by default only fetch information that is sourced on Wikidata. This is an important safeguard for BLPs. The subject's current age (or age at death) will be calculated automatically provided that the dates are sourced and full (i.e. 12 January 1958 not 1958).
General example
{{Infobox scientist/Wikidata
| suppressfields=occupation children
| dateformat = dmy
| noicon=false
...
}}
This will prevent the infobox from displaying the fields for occupation or children. |noicon=false will unsuppress the pencil icons instead of a single "edit on Wikidata" link at the bottom (see McVean, right).

| onlysourced | rejects Wikidata that is unsourced or only imported from a Wikipedia; values: yes/true/1 or no/false/0; defaults to yes |

Microformats
The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Sub-templates
Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.
To include a URL, use {{URL}}.
Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.

- adr
