TheSandDoctor
Welcome to Wikidata, TheSandDoctor!
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!
Confusing edit edit
Why did you do this? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:11, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Koavf: I was merging histories from 2 source locations on enwiki and apparently it decided to make an automated edit on wikidata that I was unaware of. I'm glad that it was corrected and apologize for that. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 03:14, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- Good deal. This is a serious problem. Are you interested in raising this at Project Chat or Phab? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:18, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Koavf: I think that that is something that makes sense in a way in that I did do a manual histmerge (aka deleting one, moving other. then restoring that destination), but am not so sure how keen I am on it automatically deleting without using twinkle. I am just not sure if this would come back as "working as intended" or not...in any event, I will be more careful when doing such in the future to make sure I'm not removing entries here by accidental automatic edit. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 04:05, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- I don't understand how that answers my question. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:09, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- @Koavf: What I mean is that I fear it is working as intended and that raising it would be pointless. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 05:42, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- Gotcha. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:46, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
