mw.wikibase.getEntity
Is it possible to pass id to this function in order to get any entity? --DixonD (talk) 20:57, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It is not possible yet. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 10:54, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

Troble while accessing personalia
I've written w:ru:Module:Wikibase but met a strange problem. If I try to write construction on any page having facts on Wikidata (Moscow, Mars, arctic fox), I get a pretty table. But on any personalia page (Jimbo, ru:Цзэн Чэн, Ossie Davis) I get only an error on line 51 of mw.wikibase.lua (attempts to index sitelinks which is nil). What to do?

 * This is indeed a strange error. The sitelinks returned are definitely not nil on the items you gave as an example. A first glance at the code of the module you wrote didn't show anything unusual. Does the error persist? --Jens Ohlig (talk) 13:18, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's still an error with comment . Ah, I've got what causes this error: it's while trying to get   (male sex for humans, has no sitelinks). The function should be fixed to return nil silently in such cases, I believe. Ignatus (talk) 18:54, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I've rewritten the module to catch it with pcall, now it works on all known pages. Ignatus (talk) 19:31, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * And if the identifier is not  (e.g.  ), module raises an error which is uncatchable; I think it also should be somehow moderated. Ignatus (talk) 19:18, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
