Welcome to Wikidata, Frog23!
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.

IT-AO edit
Hi! Thanks for your work on tidying up all the ISO 3166-2 code (P300) issues. However, I've run up against a slight problem with one of these. A couple of years ago you added IT-AO to Aosta (Q3367). However, Q3367 is the Commune of Aosta (only one of many within the Province of Aosta), and by my understanding (and according to https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:IT), this code should really be on the Province. To complicate things, Wikidata doesn't currently have a separate item for the Province, as it's functionally the same as the Region (though the region has a separate IT-23 code). To resolve this I think we need to create a new item for the Province, move the ISO 3166-2 code (P300):Aosta (Q3367) to that, and potentially see if other things that should be on the Region are currently mis-attached to either the Commune or Province. Does that seem sensible to you, or have I misunderstood anything? --Oravrattas (talk) 15:23, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hey Oravrattas. Yes you are right, I have mixed up the commune and the province there, but as you already pointed out, things are complicated. The best solution would indeed be, to create a new item for the province. However, since I don't know enough about the precise differences between these two I wouldn't want to do this. I think this should be done by somebody with knowledge about the local intricacies. This is unfortunately a common issue when dealing with ISO 3166-2 code (P300). In come cases, there are also items that mix up two different levels, both with separate ISO codes because they have the same size and the same name. Anyway, thanks for pointing this out.
