Welcome to Wikidata, Inductiveload!

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!

Thank you, Inductiveload! Very useful tool. I propose an edit, though:

}

I added "gl" (Galician), "ia" (Interlingua), "ie" (Interlingue), "io" (Ido), "mk" (Macedonian), "vo" (Volapük).
I don't think they could serve as reference, but so you can build a complete and reliable list of Wikipedias. --Ricordisamoa 01:57, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Property:P427 (taxonomic type)

Hi,

The above property is now available and can be used on items. I noticed you participated in its discussion. --  Docu  at 17:36, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Pleas add Swedish Wikipedia to the tool!

DraggableSitelink.js doesn't work

Hey, your script isn't working for me. All it says is "This Wiki does not have a known ID - add it! /index....ascript (Zeile 127)" in the console log. If I want to see the variable lang in the concole log it hasn't any.--CENNOXX (talk) 13:01, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

s:user:Inductiveload/BnF ARK format

Dear friend! Thanks for your work at s:user:Inductiveload/BnF ARK format!. brb לערי ריינהארט (talk) 14:41, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I added all subpages to my user page.

Can you please help me to create a better version of https://eo.wikipedia.org/?curid=456440# ?

I have very poor / no Javascript skills. I will explain it in the irc channel later.

Bot

Per WD:Bots, please make request for your bot. Thanks. --by Revi레비 at 12:48, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Is that required if there is no automatic editing, just an API-based interface? If so, I will stop immediately. Inductiveload (talk) 12:50, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Help with User:Inductiveload/scripts/draggableSitelinks.js

I can drag the links but it does nothing when I let the ho, it doesn't save it doesn't do anything. Is it broken? (t) Josve05a (c) 14:01, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

InductiveBot

Your bot has been listed at Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Removal/Inactive bot accounts as being inactive for over two years. As a housekeeping measure it's proposed to remove the bot flag from inactive bot accounts, unless you expect the bot will be operated again in the near future. If you consent to the removal of the bot flag (or do not reply on the deflag page) you can rerequest the bot flag at Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot should you need it again. Of course, You may request retaining your bot flag here if you need the bot flag. Regards--GZWDer (talk) 12:01, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

The bot flag has been removed. Lymantria (talk) 06:09, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia article, Wikidata item on English Wikisource

Hi Inductiveload,

I noticed you converted to LUA one of the navigation templates at English Wikisource, so I thought I'd mention a point I find odd:

e.g. at s:A_Naval_Biographical_Dictionary/Marryat,_Frederick_(a), it includes "Wikipedia article, Wikidata item".

The first links to a Wikipedia article about the person, the second to a Wikidata item about the article (Q23990100), but there is no link to the item about the person (Q467770).

As Q23990100 is already linked in the sidebar, maybe Q467770 could be linked somewhere as well. It's available through Q23990100#P921. If there are several values, maybe only the first should be used. --- Jura 09:13, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, it's still somewhat in progress. We really need to have a separate list for the "links about the text" and "links about the subject". WD support at WS is still pretty raw. I'm trying to work on it, but there are lots of things to cover. Inductiveload (talk) 19:51, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

I noticed there wasn't much done to add these before. Links to works in addition to links the present edition could be another dimension.

For mere navigation purposes, for me, a discreet icon or dot linking to the main subject would be most helpful. --- Jura 21:00, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

For sure, better presentation of Wikidata info about WS articles is on the list. However, we are still very much in the process of trying to figure out schemas for the data in general. In particular, most articles "about" something (as opposed to, say a novel) appear in collective works like periodicals and encyclopedias, and we don't have a complete bibliographic schema for such works. Inductiveload (talk) 20:46, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

biographical articles are fairly common and well documented at Wikidata (partially, because someone had initially messed them up), see e.g. Help:Import_BLKÖ_from_wikisource. dewikisource has a prominent infobox on such articles (I'd probably have chosen another layout, but it's efficient in terms of content displayed). --- Jura 09:47, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Historical Bibliographic Data

Hi!

Thanks for attending the Pre-ISBN/ISSN bibliographic data workshop at WikidataCon 2021. It would be great to continue the conversation with you at Linked Pasts VII, a free online conference held 13-21 December.

Simon Cobb and I will be leading two activities Monday and Wednesday: User:Marianika/Linked_Pasts_VII

Whether or not you can attend, if you're still interested in historical bibliographic data, could you please add your name and/or projects to this page I created for the wider initiative of getting people in academia and/or in the GLAM sector and/or in the Wiki communities to talk about how to model their historical bibliographic data (pre-ISBN/ISSN/ISMN):

User:Marianika/Historical_Bibliographic_Data

If you're no longer interested, you can also let me know and I'll stop bugging you, ;- )

See you again next week perhaps! Marianika (talk) 17:31, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

scripts/ShowQsAndPs.js

Hi, I use your script, but I get JavaScript errors on some pages. I believe they are caused by a links with missing href a attributes:

Uncaught TypeError: val.getAttribute(...) is null
   <anonymous> https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Inductiveload/scripts/ShowQsAndPs.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript:15

I therefore suggest you replace line 15 in the script:

const qid = val.getAttribute( 'href' ).replace( /^.*\//,  );

with:

const qid = ( val.getAttribute( 'href' ) || ).replace( /^.*\//,  );

That should fix the issue. You might also want to duplicate the !/^Q\d+$/.test( qid ) check to line ~32. Cheers, --Magnus Manske (talk) 13:50, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
