Welcome to Wikidata, WolfDW!

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

Hallo and welcome.

For merging items, you can try the following tool: Merge.js gadget. It makes it much easier to do, and easier for the admins to check and follow up your nominations. -Cycn (talk) 09:41, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Duplicate award received (P166) using Help:Infobox export gadget

You have imported lots of award received (P166) from Russian Wikipedia (Q206855) using Help:Infobox export gadget. I notice that this creates a lot of duplicates. I'm compiling awards of Finnish presidents (see sv:Användare:Finnusertop/sandlåda and sv:Användare:Finnusertop/sandlåda2). Now take a look at something like Mauno Koivisto (Q29021). The full list of this persons awards is easily sourceable and I had already added them all with sources. After your edits some 20 of these are now duplicated with less specificity. For example, Grand Cross with Collar of the Order of the Falcon (Q22583240) with date and a reliable source is now duplicated by Order of the Falcon (Q1394282) sourced only to Russian Wikipedia. I can go through these to manually check if I've missed something. After all, sometimes Russian Wikipedia knows about an award I did not know about and I might be able to find a reliable source for it. But I just wanted to know: Is there a way to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future? Yours, Finnusertop (talk) 14:08, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
