Welcome to Wikidata, AXRL!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

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

  • Introduction – An introduction to the project.
  • Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
  • Community portal – The portal for community members.
  • User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
  • Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
  • Project chat – Discussions about the project.
  • Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. 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.

Deletions edit

Just so you know for the future. Item deletion requests can be posted at WD:RfD. Thanks! Delsion23 (talk) 18:23, 17 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

If you use ItemByTitle and put the lang code (e.g. en) in the left box, and the name of the article in the right box, it should tell you if the page is already in use on Wikidata. Cheers Delsion23 (talk) 18:52, 17 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Each item on Wikidata has a specific subject and it is necessary to distinguish a human being (Q542183) from a court case (Q85501541). There are different ways to create links between articles whose subjects are different, but related. It is possible to add the link in the Wikipedia articles (see en:Help:Interlanguage links#Local links). Another way is to add a sitelink to a redirect on Wikidata (see Wikidata:Sitelinks to redirects). I have added the sitelinks to the redirects on Q542183, when the redirects existed. If the redirects do not exist, they can be created on Wikipedia. Best regards, BrightRaven (talk) 12:27, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
