Roll back after a wrong merge

Hello Billinghurst, how are you?

As you've seen, there has been a wrong merge, here: wood engraver is a printmaking occupation, not a sculpture one. I had to revert it, I hope you agree with that.

In addition, I think you've asked a bot to change wood engraver by wood carver to all items that had this occupation. So now, all the artists who where wood engravers are entitled wood carvers, which is a wrong information.

Could you please ask the bot to roll back if it's possible? Information is currently wrong on many items.

Thank you very much, Daehan (talk) 13:16, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Daehan. I did see that unmerge. I don't control the bot, nor have any control, you would be best to ask the powers to be at WD. I do hope that you have also added a "different from" statement to stop them from being merged in the future.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:23, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello Billinghurst,

Thank you for your prompt response.

Meanwhile, another contributor reverted the bot's edits and show me how to do it.

Could you please explain how can I add a "different from" statement and where? Daehan (talk) 13:27, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Oh, ok, you mean different from (P1889), right? I thought it was some kind of tag to stop the bot doing this operation as an authomatic process. Daehan (talk) 13:34, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

@Daehan: an inhibitor to merging rather than the bot's cleanup following a merge.  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:53, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
