Necessary Evil
Welcome to Wikidata, Necessary Evil!
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.

Merging items edit
Hi. Thanks for merging Q9116831 with Q8634925. However, this can be done easier than how you did it, using the merge gadget - see Help:Merge for more information. In case you want to request the deletion of an item manually anyway, better post it on Wikidata:Requests for deletions (there's a gadget for this, too). This is less work for us administrators and chances actually are that it will be seen and handled faster this way. This said, have fun with Wikidata and have a nice day. --YMS (talk) 10:35, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
- Hi YMS, thanks for the link. This Wikidata is still a new territory for me. --Necessary Evil (talk) 12:14, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
