Ignoratum
Welcome to Wikidata, Manolin160!
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.

Duplicate items edit
You posted a lot of DR's for duplicate items that were now empty. However duplicate items aren't to be deleted, but they need to be merged. This can be done 2 ways: 1) Activating and using the merge gadget. It can be activated in your preferences. 2) Using Special:MergeItem. The DR's have now all been merged.

- @Mbch331: Thank you for the information. I don't know much about the workings of Wikidata. I have already activated the merge gadget in my account. Best regards, Ignoratum 18:56, 25 September 2015 (UTC).
- If you have activated the gadget, then in the menu under "more" you'll see the option merge. Just enter the QID of the item to merge with and the tool does the rest (moving statements as far as needed, moving labels, links and descriptions. In the end it will clear whatever remains and turn it into a redirect.) Mbch331 (talk) 19:03, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Mbch331: Yes, in my menu bar it's now the option merge and I think I know how to use it. Thanks for the help again. Ignoratum 19:15, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
- You're welcome. It will save us both a lot of work. Mbch331 (talk) 19:17, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
