Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

• Guided tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed JavaScript tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

If you have any questions, please ask me on [[User talk:{{{welcominguser}}}|my talk page]]. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Merging identical hiwiki pages

Hi, Hindustan vasi!

(I have moved this list to User:हिंदुस्थान वासी/tomerge.)

Thanks again! Mahir256 (talk) 04:01, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

(@Anamdas, अजीत कुमार तिवारी, अनिरुद्ध!, आर्यावर्त, आशीष भटनागर, संजीव कुमार:, as the other non-bot admins of the Hindi Wikipedia who have made at least one edit in the last week; do you think you can help Hindustan vasi with this ever-growing backlog of duplicates? Mahir256 (talk) 18:25, 5 March 2018 (UTC))

• @Mahir256: Will do these merging myself. Kinda busy so going at a slow pace. Also have to see which page is to retained and which to redirected. Keep posting this, I'm loving it.--Hindust@ni^{क्या करें? बातें!} 18:43, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
  • @Mahir256: Done all. Except few which I have decided it is best to merge content than removing and redirecting.--Hindust@ni^{क्या करें? बातें!} 17:14, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

These templates merging is not easy. Some are same with name but their parameters are different. Like some use English for parameters and some Hindi; also some have more parameters than template of same name. So, I think I wouldn't be able to do this.--Hindust@ni^{क्या करें? बातें!} 16:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

@हिंदुस्थान वासी: Do you know of anyone else who may wish to take up the task? Is it not possible to merge the less-used template into the more-used one?

(Also, if you don't read my edit summaries, you should—you have got to clean up after User:Rajeevmass's mess: you can ban him from hiwiki, but that doesn't stop a bunch of unlinked, misspelled, extremely short articles from remaining unlinked, misspelled, and extremely short.) Mahir256 (talk) 22:14, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

@Mahir256: I do watch all your edit summaries. By the way I couldn't merge Q12413364 with Q86473 for some error.--Hindust@ni^{क्या करें? बातें!} 13:57, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

Yeah, it is very easy to miss said to be the same as (P460). Mahir256 (talk) 05:28, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ I have limited knowledge on templates. So, I wouldn't want to take the risk. Maybe @स: can help us.--Hindust@ni^{क्या करें? बातें!} 14:32, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@Mahir256: Good idea. Please move this list to my subpage.-Hindust@ni^{क्या करें? बातें!} 07:06, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

CIS-A2K is planning to invest some resources from May-June 2020 to create community movement resource (CMR) materials in English and different Indic languages for Wikidata in the form of tutorials, handbooks, infographics, videos, animations etc. The aim of this initiative is to build a pool of resource materials for Wikidata eventually, which will serve as ready-made handy references for new as well as experienced users. You are requested to fill up this form, so that we can understand your needs on different topics of Wikidata. You are also very welcome to actively participate in the process and help us build the CMR with your different areas of expertise.

Indian scientists datathon

Hi हिंदुस्थान वासी,

You are receiving this message as you are one of the participants of WikiProject India on Wikidata and/or a subscriber of the Wikidata India newsletter.

Hope you and your loved ones are safe and sound during this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic situation.

This is for your kind information that, from 22nd May, 2020 Friday to 24th May, 2020 Sunday, a datathon will be happening on Indian scientists on Wikidata. The lack of data about Indian scientists, their works and publications on Wikidata is the reason behind conducting the datathon. Considering the ongoing pandemic, the datathon will also focus on scientists working on SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.

The tasklist of the datathon is flexible. Participants can choose their own preferred task on this topic

Hoping for your active participation.

Take care and stay safe,
