Welcome to Wikidata, Kyle-nz!

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.

August 2022 edit

Thank you for contributing to Wikidata. I see that you recently created an item Q113657360 that does not clearly indicate its notability. The Wikidata project only accepts items that meet its notability criteria, and your item is therefore likely to be deleted soon. In brief, items must have an associated Wikipedia article, must be needed for statements on another notable item, or must have both identifiers and serious sources. For the last case, a good indication of notability would be multiple articles about the subject in independent publications like newspapers or magazines. You can add such sources as references to specific claims using reference URL (P854), or as top-level claims using described at URL (P973).

Also, this may not apply in this specific case, but you should know that we discourage editors from contributing on topics with which they have a strong personal connection, as this may present a conflict of interest. If you are being paid to edit here, then you are obliged to disclose this. For a longer version, you might find it useful to read the essay "How to create an item on Wikidata so that it won't get deleted".  Bovlb (talk) 01:15, 31 August 2022 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 01:15, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Kaikorai Valley edit

Hi, thanks for your question. I'm not sure what you need here, did you want some information from Wikidata to appear in the Infobox New Zealand suburb template on the article w:Kaikorai Valley? I don't understand why the Wikidata item for the suburb needs to be linked to the article about the valley (which does say there are three suburbs in the valley itself: Kaikorai, Bradford, and Kenmure; these are clearly distinct entities to the valley). I personally wouldn't use the suburb infobox in the valley article, maybe unless you had three infoboxes, one for each of Kaikorai, Bradford, and Kenmure.
