Metroitendo
Welcome to Wikidata, Metroitendo!
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!
Translations
editPlease don't make numbered section manually! This makes the engine (after the Translation Administrator approves the change) and manual changes lead to damage already done translations. --Kaganer (talk) 21:05, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Portail communautaire
editBonjour,
J'ai vu que tu avais modifié la traduction en français du portail communautaire anglophone. Tu es bien sûr libre de le faire, mais je te signale au passage que c'est inutile. La communauté francophone a son propre portail : Wikidata:Portail communautaire. La principale différence actuellement est que nous y incluons une page d'annonces de la communauté, mais l'intérêt essentiel est que la communauté se réserve le choix de ce qu'elle souhaite inclure sur cette page. N'hésite pas à proposer des changements ou améliorations sur le Bistro !
Bonne continuation. Ljubinka (discussion) 10:12, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

I am happy to help anyone who wants to take over get up to speed of course. Please contact me if you'd like to take this over.
