TASK DESCRIPTION

Currently there are lots of templates on English Wikipedia that use infobox code similar to:

{{#if:{{#Property:P17}}|...

... or ...

XYZ = {{#Property:P43356}}

... which works great in most circumstances. However, in cases where a property is set to "no value" (as the snak type), calls to the {{#Property}} parser function actually return the string "no value". This causes "no value" to get output to the Infobox. It would be better if it returned nothing (i.e. an empty string or null value) in these cases, so that #if statements could work properly and "no value" is never output to the user. This should probably be the case for "unknown value" claims as well.
