Module:InfoboxWB/doc

This is a helper module for retrieving data from bahaidata.org. It is intended to be referenced by a template which is used on a page that is already connected to a wikibase item. It does not support retrieving specific items or their properties from bahaidata since this module is specific to infoboxes used on pages which should always have a corresponding connected bahaidata page.

To do

The adaptation so far is intended for use with Template:Infobox Person but more infoboxes can be supported by adding more functions. Need to identify other data which is suitable, what functions are needed and add/test/integrate them back into the respective templates.
