Welcome to Wikidata, Ascilto!

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.

Best regards! --Søren1997 (talk) 14:12, 29 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Q12208380

edit

It doesn't need to be distiguished as a dog type, and probably shouldn't be, because it is a disambiguation page. The actual type should be added to the appropriate page at Q38322. --Izno (talk) 13:52, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Q38322 refer to bull terrier as a breed. Q12208380 refer to bull terrier as a type. Some Wikipedia versions has chosen to make a disambiguation page, others may chose to write an article. /Ascilto (talk) 13:57, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Then Q12208380 should be split. A disambiguation page is always only linked with other disambiguation page items. --Izno (talk) 14:18, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
That's not in fact the reallity. /Ascilto (talk) 14:21, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
s/is/should be/. If it's a disambig, it gets its own page, because a disambig can never be the same topic as the topic in the other links if other links which are not disambigs are present. --Izno (talk) 16:59, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Not all Wikipedia communities agree to that. The practice differs fron language to language. Information is provided for users to find the topic they are looking for. /Ascilto (talk) 17:27, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Wikidata is not Wikipedia nor is it any one of those communities. Practice may differ between language, but part of the reason for Wikidata is to standardize on how we deal with these issues. Here, we only link disambiguation pages to disambiguation pages. --Izno (talk) 18:43, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Says who? Can you link to the disussion ending up in consensus? /Ascilto (talk) 20:25, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
You encouraged me to find the guidelines: Wikidata:Disambiguation_pages_task_force, which says that we only link disambiguation page items to disambiguation pages. --Izno (talk) 23:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
I've now edited the swedish article. None of the articles are any longer disambiguation pages. /Ascilto (talk) 15:29, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Cool, thanks. --Izno (talk) 16:28, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Undent: I see you cleared out the item. Was there a reason? I don't plan to revert it or anything, just wondering. --Izno (talk) 17:03, 3 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
I discovered there was more iw on Q38510. /Ascilto (talk) 17:06, 3 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Neat. I will delete Q12 then. --Izno (talk) 18:34, 3 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Request

edit

Hello.

Could you create the Swedish version of article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Azerbaijani_film_directors (like the article https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lista_%C3%B6ver_kinesiska_filmregiss%C3%B6rer you uploaded)?

Thank you.

Sorry to make you disappointed, but svwp are not very fond of that type of lists, we prefer categorys like sv:Kategori:Kinesiska filmregissörer (we don't have any articles about Azerbaijani film directors yet). Kind regards /Ascilto (talk) 16:36, 29 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Centuries and periods

A century isn't necessarily the same as a period. J 1982 (talk) 12:45, 14 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

instance of (P31) för kategorier

edit

Hej! Jag ser att du skapar objekt för många kategorier, det är bra! Skulle du samtidigt kunna lägga till instance of (P31) och Wikimedia category (Q4167836) i objekten? De dyker annars upp som objekt utan uttalanden i databasdumpar som t.ex. Wikidata:Database reports/no statements/svwiki/all. Du kan se hur jag har gjort på t.ex. Category:Chechnyan music (Q123319503). Allt gott! QubeCube (talk) 11:04, 5 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
