Discussion of import edit
Wikidata item for dataset edit
This import aims to create and maintain items of type Request for Comments (Q212971), one for each RFC publication in existence. See IETF RFCs for further information about the data set.
Import data into spreadsheet edit
Data is not imported using a spreadsheet approach. Instead, User:RfcBot synchronizes between the freely available XML database of RFC standards and the RFC items already existing in Wikidata.

Match the dataset to Wikidata edit
User:RfcBot synchronizes between the freely available XML database of RFC standards and the RFC items already existing in Wikidata. This is performed by checking for existing items with instance of (P31) Request for Comments (Q212971) and also with a matching RfC ID (P892).
Importing data into Wikidata edit
See User:RfcBot for more information on how to sychronize the freely available XML database of RFC standards with Wikidata. It is necessary to execute the bot twice in succession. The second pass will ensure that replaced by (P1366) and replaces (P1365) are updated on older items to point to new items created during the first pass.

Maintenance edit
Schedule of new data released edit
The RFC database is updated continuously. User:RfcBot can be run to synchronize the RFC database with Wikidata. Currently, User:Dhx1 executes this bot approximately once per week.
