Welcome to Wikidata, Eagleash!

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.

Mergers

Copied from KR & Jura talk pages

The following is copied and pasted from User talk:Ivan A. Krestinin :-

"Hello, I was wondering what action should be taken when 2 pages are merged on (say) en.wiki? I can follow the merger instructions OK, but there are instances where, although a page may be merged into another on en.wiki, there may still be entries on other (geographical) wikis. Do we just delete the link to the merged and redirected en.wiki page and check/edit if necessary the wikidata item for the destination en.wiki page? Thanks.

Hello, I do not fully understand your problem, sorry. Items about same object should be merged both in Wikipedia and Wikidata. You can use Merge template to suggest merging in difficult cases. Also you can add said to be the same as (P460) to merge pending items. Redirect is need to be deleted from item for success items merging. Also you can request assistance from Jura. He has large experience in merging. — Ivan A. Krestinin (talk) 21:53, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, well for example, the item Peugeot Speedfight 2 Q7179487 has 2 links to Wikipedia pages one for en:wiki and one for sv:wiki. On en:wiki, speedfight 2 has been merged into Peugeot Speedfight, but not as far as I can tell on sv:wiki. What is the procedure please? Thanks. Eagleash (talk) 22:24, 25 September 2015 (UTC)"

Can you advise the correct procedure as Ivan A. Krestinin says you are the merger guru! Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 22:38, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Not sure about that, but I'd do the following:

If the items can't be merged at Wikidata, one can just delete the enwiki redirect sitelink.

If it hasn't be done yet, the second item at Wikidata can be marked with Wikimedia duplicated page (Q17362920) and it ends up on Wikidata:Database_reports/Marked_duplicates.

Sample Q4704967: enwiki was merged, but fawiki still has two articles. Once fawiki merged, the items can be merged as well. --- Jura 05:16, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
