Logo of Wikidata Welcome to Wikidata, Manfred Werner (WMAT)!

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.

Preisverleihung The International Museum Day Wikidata Competition 2020

edit

Hallo Werner, du hast mir auf meiner User-Seite zum dritten Preis (Schweiz) bei der Museum Day Wikidata Competition gratuliert. Wegen des Preises wurde ich aber noch nicht kontaktiert. Kann ich etwas anderes machen als warten? Liebe Grüsse --Uli.ch (talk) 20:03, 1 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hallo Uli.ch! Das ist seltsam. Ich werde gleich bei Wikimedia CH nachfragen, was da passiert sein mag. Tut mir leid wegen der Verzögerung! Liebe Grüße, Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 10:22, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

International Museum Day 2022

edit

Hi! During the competition I noticed that not all museums-related edits were counted into Dashboards statistics. As an exemple, during the last day I did around 400 edits but only 3 last were added to the counter. And I noticed the same on other days too. I've seen that at least another one user had the same trouble and I assume there were many more. --Lystopad (talk) 18:27, 24 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Lystopad!
Thank you for pointing me to this issue! Currently we are in the process of evaluating the dashboards, the scores, results and statistics there. Before publishing the results and winner's names by the end of the month we will look into it and I will notify you what we found out about it.

Coordinate Me 2024: Canada

Can you fix these two links? https://w.wiki/9EXa and https://w.wiki/9NeQ are displayed in German and completely unusable for Canadian participants. I see similar link issues for English-speaking countries (e.g. India, Nigeria). OhanaUnitedTalk page 01:31, 28 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @OhanaUnited: Thank you for the message! I was not aware that the link to the Query Builder was set with uselang=de. I will look into it. Either I can remove the uselang at all or I will change it to en or the respective other languages. --Manfred Werner (WMAT) (talk) 12:14, 29 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
