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: – 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 DONOT_FETCH_WIKIDATA 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.
