=== Configuration flags ===
These flags (<code>{{Background color|#c1debf|flag0*}}</code>) are general configuration flags and can be given anywhere after the first {{Background color|#cddae3|command}} (but before the {{Background color|#ffdfc4|positional arguments}}).

| rowspan="4" style="text-align:right;" | {{nowrap|Combination of:}}
! style="text-align:left;" | <code>preferred</code>
| rowspan="4" | Sets a rank constraint for the selected claim(s).

The first three set the ranks for which claim(s) will be selected. They can optionally be followed by a <code>+</code> or a <code>-</code>, e.g. <code>normal+</code> or <code>preferred-</code>, where the first selects claims with a 'normal' rank ''or higher'' and the second selects claims with a 'preferred' rank ''or lower''. To get claims of all ranks, use <code>preferred-</code> or <code>deprecated+</code>.

If the <code>best</code> flag is given additionally, then only the claims that have the highest rank amongst the selected claims will be returned.

The default is <code>normal+|best</code> (so by default claims with a 'deprecated' rank are never returned).

Output is always sorted from highest rank to lowest (regardless of any of these flags being set).

| rowspan="3" style="text-align:right;" | {{nowrap|Combination of:}}
! style="text-align:left;" | <code>future</code>
| rowspan="3" | Sets a time constraint for the selected claim(s). Uses the claims' qualifiers of {{wpl|P580}} and {{wpl|P582}} to determine if the claim is valid for the selected time period(s).

The default is <code>future|current|former</code> (so by default claims that are valid for any time period are returned), except when <code>date=</code> is given ([[#Named arguments|see below]]) in which case the default is <code>current</code>.

! style="text-align:left;" | <code>mdy</code>
| Returns date values in month-day-year order instead of day-month-year order.
| claim
|-
|
! style="text-align:left;" | <code>single</code>
| Returns only a single claim instead of multiple (if multiple claims match). Has no effect if the <code>property</code>/<code>properties</code> command is given, in which case this flag would be redundant.
| claim
|-
|
! style="text-align:left;" | <code>sourced</code>
| Only returns claims that have at least one valid reference.

| rowspan="2" style="text-align:right;" | {{nowrap|One of:}}
! style="text-align:left;" | <code>edit</code>
| rowspan="2" | Adds a clickable icon after the output that may be used by readers to edit the returned claim on Wikidata.

If <code>edit@end</code> is used, then the icon will be placed at the end of the line for neat alignment in infoboxes.
