Logo of Wikidata Welcome to Wikidata, Thepwnco!

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!

Sorting

edit

I think there is no help on how to sort statements. Perhaps a new section would be necessary in Help:Statements with a some info about how to use the little arrows that appear next to each statement. What do you think?--Micru (talk) 07:09, 3 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Micru: That's a good idea! I will add it to my list of things to do. -Thepwnco (talk) 15:57, 3 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I see that you use a model to link help pages between themselves. But instead of creating a bunch of links at the end of each page could we put only one link to a entral page with all links and explanations like Wikidata:Help ? I agree that a model can easily updated like a central page but if someone has to use the help pages better for him to know one page which contains everything than clicking on each link to do the tour.

@Snipre: Hi, and thanks for your comment. I think the template in the "See also" section is nicer than just one link back to the main portal page because it can include links to stuff outside of just the Help namespace (for example, the glossary or the guided tours). That being said, I think the main page is going to undergo some changes itself, and I think better organization of its content might eliminate the need to link similar pages together at the bottom of each page. I think I'll leave the template in until that time. Sound ok? Thepwnco (talk) 23:34, 8 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
It is just an observation and a proposition. Then you are free to decide what you want to do. Snipre (talk) 23:57, 8 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Wikidata:Wikisource

edit

Yes, please, you can proceed to update the page, I am seeing that it is mostly outdated. So far Wikidata is mostly being used with author pages, since on works it is still not possible to display the information from unconnected items.--Micru (talk) 09:32, 24 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Micru: great, thanks! I've since updated the page quite a lot and will leave a note on the talk page. -Thepwnco (talk) 23:35, 24 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

Support request with team editing experiment project

edit

Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.
