Welcome to Wikidata, Maskingself!

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! --Epìdosis 11:30, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Checksums

What is your motivation behind adding checksums to software items? The checksum (P4092) property is only used 81 times across Wikidata and thus has very limited usefulness when querying Wikidata. Basically, I don't see the point of putting in so much work adding checksums when nobody relies on Wikidata for checksums. Am I missing something? Dexxor (talk) 17:41, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

@Dexxor According to this page https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Property:P4092&limit=500 it is linked to 151 times. Maskingself (talk) 21:02, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

How important is this issue to you? If you are willing to put the work in to go deep on this topic please consider collaborating with me on creating a Wikidata:Requests for comment. We'll connect the original creator/-s of the property, other likely interested parties and we can work on improving it and have a finished "product" that reflects both what was intended from the beginning and adapting to the current reality and what data one might need on Wikidata.

Obtaining the Wikiversity learning resources count

@Maskingself I will appreciate learning the code to obtain the Wikiversity learning resources count so I can use that dynamic number in a Wikiversity course I am developing. Thanks! Lbeaumont (talk) 12:47, 7 November 2022 (UTC)
