+ adding the ability to override the image currently displayed
+ you can hide specific Properties locally

Full details and use instructions on the project link above!

Want to use it on your Wiki?
🖌️ On Visual Editor, select ‘Template’ and then ‘Databox’

📝 Source Edit: add text {{Databox}} to the top of the page

Doesn’t require any special settings, just install the Module and Template and it’s good to go. 
Includes images, maps and data is updated automatically.
Install instructions: www.wikidata.org/wiki/Module...

Hacked together during the 2018 Wikimedia Hackathon (Barcelona) by User:Tpt and User:Tobias1984 who recognised that many smaller Wikis need a hand populating and maintaining knowledge on their Wiki.

📊📦 Databox is a lightweight, fully automated infobox system powered by Wikidata.

With just one word {{Databox}}, editors can add a structured infobox to their article, perfect for kickstarting new article creation or enhancing an existing one.
