User:Mahir256/lonelyitems
The majority of my activity on Wikidata since around June 2017 has been the merging of items with only one sitelink to another wiki (which Bene* has termed "lonely items" in one of his tools) with other items. As such a chart showing where they occur is definitely helpful.
Where they occur on Wikidata is one thing:
50,000
100,000
150,000
200,000
250,000
300,000
Q5M
Q10M
Q15M
Q20M
Q25M
Q30M
Q35M
Q40M
Q45M
Q50M
Q55M
Q60M
Q65M
Q70M
Q75M
Q80M
Q85M
Q90M
Q95M
Q100M
- non-lonely items
- lonely items
- items without sitelinks
- redirects
- (the remainder)
but where they come from is another, especially among Wikipedias:
(Note that in the interest of making the tail of the full graph more readable, I have omitted the six Wikipedias with the most lonely items from these graphs, namely enwiki with 2749136 lonely items, cebwiki 1913750, dewiki 912844, jawiki 644003, frwiki 568904, and ruwiki 508345, and split the graph into two at the 80,000 lonely item mark.)

Item statistics edit
- Inspired by the graph at User:Succu
- Both graphs are as of 14 November 2020, ~20:30 UTC
- Non-lonely and lonely items are counted here. (In the comments is User:MisterSynergy's query for total items.)
- Redirected items are counted using one of MisterSynergy's queries.
- Items without sitelinks are inferred from lonely, non-lonely, total, and redirected items.
- Deleted items are inferred from the total items and the sum of the rest.
Some comments about the first graph (from 29 June 2018, ~14:15 UTC) edit
- The large number of items without sitelinks around Q14M are mostly villages in China (thanks User:Liangent!).
- The large number of items without sitelinks around Q23M are mostly biological compounds (thanks User:Putmantime, User:Andrawaag, User:Sebotic, and User:Gstupp!)
- The large number of lonely items between Q30M and Q35M, along with those near Q50M, are due in part to additions of pages from various wikis, especially cebwiki (thanks User:GZWDer!).
- The masses of items without sitelinks after around Q33M are due mostly to imports of scientific articles (thanks User:Daniel Mietchen and User:Harej!).
Some mysteries of the first graph (from 29 June 2018, ~14:15 UTC) edit
- The purge of items near Q11.25M may have been items that were merged (since the redirect facility didn't exist before a certain point), but I recall a notice reading that past deleted items due to merges were changed retroactively to redirects, so what else could have happened?
- What were the purges of Q18M, Q27.5M, Q31.5M, Q47.25M?
- What is being purged since Q53.25M?
