new search box and testing of data inclusion on test2.wikipedia.org

Heya folks!

We've deployed new code here. This includes replacement of the search box. I hope you like this better than the previous one :)

http://test2.wikipedia.org now also has the ability to include data from Wikidata. It'd be awesome if you'd give it a try to make sure there are no major issues before we roll this out on the first few Wikipedias on Wednesday. There are two ways to include data:

  • The first one is by adding a parser function like {{#property:p123}} to the Wikipedia article. This will then get the value that is associated with property p123 on the connected Wikidata item. We're working on making it possible to use the property's label (instead of p123 in this example) and more. See meta:Wikidata/Notes/Inclusion syntax for that.
  • The second one is via Lua and supposed to be used for more complicated things that can't be done with the parser function. The documentation for that is here. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 19:07, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

I tested it with Template:Infobox Country and used it on for instance a new article Germany or an existing article Belgium. Works as expected.

GOOD JOB
