Hello, I was on Authority control validator of KasparBot when I saw w:de:Amtsgericht Seligenstadt with the following messages: " software-based transclusion of Wikidata values on that wiki" and "dewiki doesn't support the transclusion of Wikidata values. Please do not remove the template". Why? I go to the german page and leave empty {{Normdaten}} ({{Authority control}}). I save. Horst Gräbner revoques me. I ask him why on his Talk Page and he answers me: "Normdaten (Typ fehlt):" (authority control (missing type)). I would like to know why the properties are not listed on the page named above? Is there a problem? I notified this request on the discussion page of Horst Gräbner. Best regards. --Eihel (talk) 23:49, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
Please note that German Wikipedia does not inherit any authority data from Wikidata.
They are compared only.
If you remove items, this is regarded as vandalism.
In case of mismatch (missing value on one side, or different values) these are e.g. listed here.
The reason will be investigated and checked manually, and remedied.
German Wikipedians have editing access to German National Library and are permitted to resolve naming conflicts, eliminating duplicates, merging identities of the identical person in National Biographical Records.
No idea which problem has been recorded in 2015 by that bot. However, the reason is probably not on German Wikipedia.
(I don't know when a merge is "simple". Anyway, I decline simply to make the call myself, in this case.) Here we have two records for a British fiction writer, with his realname and (universal?) pseudonym as two English-language labels, and not labeled in other languages. Perhaps we have this because the entire Encyclopedia of Science Fiction has been imported, and also the English Wikisource. A glance at the linked VIAF record suggests that Wikisource shows poor judgment in using "Author:Charles James Hankinson"; should use "Author:Clive Holland" differentiated as necessary. Because the national libraries all use Clive Holland, as does the Encyc of SF. That is, we should merge with English-language label "Clive Holland", which does not match the relevant English-Wikisource pagename. --P64 (talk) 18:39, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
