Logo of Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata, TDKR Chicago 101!

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.

Babel edit

Babel 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. With the same language codes you can add links to your userpage on Wikipedia e.g. de:User:User123. --Tobias1984 (talk) 20:03, 24 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

some help tools edit

Hi TDKR Chicago 101! You may add some help tools to user:TDKR Chicago 101/common.js or (if you use the vector skin) to user:TDKR Chicago 101/vector.js . Please see User:Rotsaert8000 (in Esperanto), Wikidata:Tools, and Wikidata:Tools/User scripts for candidates you may add. On the user:i18n-page you will see all WD gadget links. It takes time to see what fits most of your interests. Good luck! Please feel free to use the Wikidata Sandbox item: Wikidata Sandbox (Q4115189)      for your first steps adding some statements see Wikidata:List of properties. If you want to notify a user you may use {{ping|foo bar}} at any place on this wiki. Regards gangLeri לערי ריינהארט (talk) 17:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Request edit

Hello.

Can you create the article about the prominent economist en:Dani Rodrik, just like the article simple:Muhammad Yunus which you uploaded, in Simple English?

Can you also create the article about the prominent actor en:Haluk Bilginer in Simple English?

Thank you.

Your merge of Ilana Rovina edit

Hi TDKR Chicago 101

I happened to notice that you merged Ilana Rovina (Q100627627) from another page on wikidata. Unfortunetely the merge seems to have wiped out the history of contributions. Also the talk page of the original where I think I left a comment has also disappeared? Am I making sense?

Thanks in advance, 15:31, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Katherine Chi Tai - Why did you choose "Qi" for "Chi" and "Dai" for "Tai" ? edit

See here:

https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q104076331&oldid=1435543652

For the American "Katherine Tai" - Why did you choose "Qi" instead her actual given name (middle) name "Chi"

and

Why did you choose "Dai" instead her actual surname "Tai" ?

Thanks, -- Ooligan (talk) 14:54, 21 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
