Newbie query: MRH-90 in Australian service (Q17489231)

I've tried to add to "MRH-90 in Australian service (Q17489231)" the English Wikipedia article "MRH-90 Taipan" but it won't let me. I can't click publish. thanks Melbguy05 (talk) 12:57, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

How to add a new sitelink

Hello @Melbguy05. Welcome to Wikidata!

I tried adding the sitelink and didn't encounter any issues. (I undid the edit as I'm not an expert on the topic and wasn't sure if they should be connected.)

Take a look at this guide and try it again yourself: Wikidata:Wikipedia/How to help. If you need any help getting started on Wikidata or adding content, you can always write on Wikidata:Project chat where other community members would be happy to help you out.

Q5296 is busted, may need manual fix

Hello,

I clicked on a Wikidata item link on an English Wikipedia article a few days ago, and it somehow directed to entirely the wrong item, Q5269 which blew up. After waiting a bit, the English Wikipedia backlink went to the correct Wikidata item. However, this 5269 option appears to still be malfunctioning when visited on the website - it still throws an error. Perhaps there's some invalid, impossible relation in the DB that needs to be unrolled by a dev? Is this the right place to report this, or should I go to Phabricator? SnowFire (talk) 19:24, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Which English Wikipedia article? What is the link text? Also, the title mentions Q5296, but the report mentions Q5269. Could you make it clear? --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 13:49, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

It was Q:5296 - just a typo from typing from memory. I see it's now loading for me after I complained as "Wikimedia main page" (I had no idea what this item was before). The article I clicked from was en:Gertrude Bell, but maybe it was from a switched tab that was on the English Wikipedia front page? I mean, I don't think it was and that wasn't my recollection, but that'd explain it. (As for why it blew up, and why it's fixed now - that part of the question might still be relevant.)

Request – add entity ID to the titles displayed on web browsers

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T370761

Currently, the title bar on web browsers only shows the item's label, e.g. Q709369 [1], Q8441, Q2194748 are all:

man - Wikidata

It is hard to distingush them, especially when you are opening lots of browser tabs, or compiling a list of bookmarks. It would be convenient to have the entity ID too, e.g.:

man (Q709369) - Wikidata

and likewise for the permalink page [2]. Note that the revision history pages [3] and diff pages [4] already display both the label and ID. Wotheina (talk) 01:50, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you @Wotheina for bringging this up. I have created a ticket so that we can look into it. -Mohammed Abdulai (WMDE) (talk) 10:40, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Q4850199

I'm sorry, I've never edited here before and know literally nothing about this project. At Q4850199 - Balboa Academy – the URL given is a spamlink to a gambling site. The correct URL is www.balboaacademy.edu.pa. Thank you. 2A00:23C5:50E8:EE01:FDBB:D885:56F4:B3F5 14:13, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

I have corrected the item. In the future you can make these kinds of requests at Wikidata:Project chat. William Graham (talk) 15:35, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Non-unique statement id in Q85046372

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T371464

It's a repost of https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#c-Dhx1-20240729134400-195.191.163.76-20240726072600

According to Wikidata documentation: [stmt_id is] An arbitrary identifier for the Statement, which is unique across the repository.

But going to the Wikidata webpage for Secondary limb lymphedema (Q85046372) and looking in the page source, we can see that Q85046372$70E829CD-2D80-48D1-BB71-8EE2B5C22051 is referenced twice, every time with a different underlying data:

<div id="Q85046372$70E829CD-2D80-48D1-BB71-8EE2B5C22051" class="wikibase-statementview wikibase-statement-Q85046372$70E829CD-2D80-48D1-BB71-8EE2B5C22051 wb-normal">...</div>
...
<div id="Q85046372$70E829CD-2D80-48D1-BB71-8EE2B5C22051" class="wikibase-statementview wikibase-statement-Q85046372$70E829CD-2D80-48D1-BB71-8EE2B5C22051 wb-normal">...</div>

Both ids show up in cites work (P2860): Arm morbidity after sector resection and axillary dissection with or without postoperative radiotherapy in breast cancer stage I. Results from a randomised trial. Uppsala-Orebro Breast Cancer Study Group (Q73307092) and Case-control study to evaluate predictors of lymphedema after breast cancer surgery (Q37410695).

REST API response for the two P2860 statements with identical IDs:

curl -s https://www.wikidata.org/w/rest.php/wikibase/v0/entities/items/Q85046372 | jq '.statements.[].[] | select(.id == "Q85046372$70E829CD-2D80-48D1-BB71-8EE2B5C22051")'
