This function gets the sought property from any available item and language. The QITEM can be the Title or the Label of the page. The property can be defined in it's own name, in English (or in the local content language, if non ambiguous). The language can be a sequence. Properties include Label, Title, description, sitelink... ``` local prop1 = mw.wikibase.property('P21') -- Simplest use local prop2 = mw.wikibase.property('lastname') -- Named property local prop3 = mw.wikibase.property('Label', 'Q', { 'user', 'page', 'content', 'en', 'de', 'es', } ) -- Default values local prop4 = mw.wikibase.property('description', 'Nelson Mandela', { 'user', 'fr', } ) -- other case ```

On 2018-01-23, get properties values need to use a complex code using several functions and snaks like: ``` local snak = entity['claims']['P342'][1]['qualifiers']['P342'][1] ``` These are heavy and hasardous tasks for Lua-coders. How to help them? Create a new function in the Lua part of scribunto for the Extension:Wikibase Client.
