-- Module to try out use of a blacklist and whitelist for infobox fields
-- can take a named parameter |qid which is the Wikidata ID for the article. This will not normally be used
-- Fields in blacklist are never to be displayed, i.e. module must return nil in all circumstances
-- Fields in whitelist return local value if it exists or the Wikidata value otherwise
-- The name of the field that this function is called from is passed in named parameter |name
-- The name is compulsory when blacklist or whitelist is used, so the module returns nil if it is not supplied
-- blacklist is passed in named parameter |suppressfields
-- whitelist is passed in named parameter |fetchwikidata
