This module is designed to import data from tables in Wikipedia articles into Wikidata. The first column of the table must be the name of the item.

If this is a link (or a redirect) to an existing article which has a corresponding Wikidata item, then the data will be imported into this item.
If this is plain text or a redlink, then the data will be imported into a new Wikidata item.

page - the name of the article/page to parse, e.g. |page=List of dams in South Africa
config - details about what type of data is held in each column of the table formatted as type-property-option. Currently recognised types are:
- label - the name of the article
- wikilink - a link to an article which should be the value of the property, e.g. wikilink-P131
- quantity - specify the unit in the third parameter, e.g. quantity-P2048-Q11573
- year - a 4-digit year, e.g. year-P571
- text - any text to import into a string datatype, e.g. text-P3562
- coord - coordinate position, inside the {{coord}} template, e.g. coord-P625
- donotuse - indicates a column that will not be imported
