Adding 2 new parameters for Databox

Apologies for posting in English, you can help by translating it

Hello, as per my message at Module Talk: Databox, two new optional parameters to the Databox module have been added. If unused, the Databox behaves exactly as before. If used, they are called when invoking the {{Databox}} template.

Changes

• useImage= allows you to select which image to use (when there are multiple options)

How to use: {{Databox|useImage=paste the image filename here}}
Example: {{Databox|useImage=example_filename.jpg}}

• excludeProperties= create a Property+Value exclusion list unique to this article or page.

How to use: {{Databox|excludeProperties=enter any statements you would like to hide from appearing in the databox for this article only, separated by commas.}}
Example: {{Databox|excludeProperties=P7763,P7084}}

Lets you hide specific Property+Value pairs for this article only, useful if the Wikidata item contains properties that aren’t relevant to the current article or page but are still needed elsewhere on the Wiki.

• Parameters can be combined...

Example: {{Databox|excludeProperties=P123,P456,P78,P9|useImage=example image.jpg}}

The changes are marked in the version history for easy reversion. If you have any concerns or queries, please reach out to me, either reply here or the projects databox changes talk page. Thank you, - Danny Benjafield (WMDE) (Nkitahode beaɛ) 11:49, 1 Ɔpɛnimma 2025 (UTC)

Databox online survey - opportunity to share your thoughts about this Wikidata-powered Infobox

I apologise for posting in English. Feel free to translate!

Hello everyone, the Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects team worked on improving the Databox Template and Module earlier this year. We are now asking Wikimedians to answer a short survey about their experiences with Databox (a Wikidata-powered infobox for Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Projects), and would appreciate your input.
The survey should take less than 10 minutes to answer.
