Welcome to Wikidata, Memelord0!
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! --Tobias1984 (talk) 10:07, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Babel
editBabel lets you view and edit more than one language on Wikidata. Just add e.g.{{#babel:de-N|en-3|es-1|fr-2|nl-3|it-4|da-0}} to your user page. --Tobias1984 (talk) 10:07, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Merging items
editHallo محمد عصام,
For merging items, you may want to use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It has an option "Request deletion for extra items on RfD" to automatically place a request to delete the emptied page. This way of nominating makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.
With regards,

Rollbacker
editHi, as I have seen you regularly battling vandalism and mistaken edits here on Wikidata, I have given you Rollbacker rights so you can revert multiple edits in one go. If you need more info you can read the Rollbacker page or ask me about it. Hope it helps you to keep Wikidata free of vandalism. Keep up the good work :) Del♉sion23 (talk) 09:53, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
