Sometimes you insert an infobox in a Wikipedia article and you want to suppress a Wikidata value without overwriting it in the article Wikitext.
In other words: A 'Wikidata by default' infobox triggers a Wikidata value, but sometimes, you just don't want to have that specific statement in your infobox in that specific article.
The current workaround is as follows (see this example):
– Insert an infobox in a Wikipedia article.
– The infobox automatically displays a value from Wikidata.
– Overwrite that value by inserting an invisible custom value such as a non-breaking speace.
– The infobox then displays a line with an empty value.
Proposed solution:
– There should be a command such as FETCH_WIKIDATA=no that can be inserted into the infobox Wikitext to suppress the Wikidata value without having to overwrite it.
– The infobox then does not display a line with not content but just behaves as if there were no value on Wikidata.

Thank you for your patience if this bug is already solved somehow, or if my description is difficult to understand.
