keybord help

Hi! Thanks for the notification about [1]. I added the cx version because it is very difficult to contribute in a language without an appropriate keyboard. What would never work is if the first character is a special character Ĉ ĉ, Ĝ ĝ, Ĥ ĥ, Ĵ ĵ, Ŝ ŝ and Ŭ ŭ (eo:diakrita signo). The one you deleted is a pretty popular property / Property value. לערי ריינהארט (talk) 20:24, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Please note that it’s possible to just use the property identifier (P301 in this case, for instance) when editing a Wikidata item, if spelling the label causes trouble for whatever reason. (FWIW, I seem to be better at remembering numbers than at least some of the labels.)

Moreover, as item properties are not specific to a language, it’s also possible to switch to any convenient language just before editing them. FTR, one way to do so temporarily is to add ?uselang= and the language’s ISO code to the page’s URI, as in: https://wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Random?uselang=en.
