Wikidata: Obilasci/stavke
Dobro došli na obilazak stavki
Dobro došli na Wikidata! Ovaj obilazak pruža uvod u osnove uređivanja Wikidate.
Imajte na umu da je stranica u pozadini samo replika prave stranice - možete razmišljati o njoj kao igraonici u kojoj se možete igrati i isprobavati nove stvari. Vaše izmjene se neće pojaviti na Wikidata i zbog toga se ne morate brinuti dok pravite prepravke u ovom prostoru. Započnimo!
Kako postati urednik
Wikidata je volonterski stvorena baza struktuiranih podataka koje bilo ko može urediti. Kao Wikipedia, ovaj projekat se oslanja na napore ljudi širom svijeta koji zajednički rade na skupljanju i održavanju podataka na više od 200 jezika.
Postoji mnogo načina da doprinesete Wikidata. Neke osobe prevode dokumentaciju, neke rješavaju greške u softwareu i pišu aplikacije, a neki dodaju i uređuju podatke. Svi urednici su započeli negdje - ovaj obilazak će vam pokazati kako urediti vašu prvu stavku na Wikidata.
Osnovna ideja
Wikipedia je za enciklopedijski sadržaj, Wikimedia Commons je repozitorij medijskih fajlova i Wiktionary obezbjeđuje definicije i leksičke informacije o riječima.
U Wikidati, fokus je na "struktuirane podatke".
Ovo omogućava jednako korištenje podataka ljudima i kompjuterima. Struktuirani podaci također otvaraju čitav niz nevjerovatnih prilika o kojima ćete naučiti poslije.
Stavke
Creating a structure for data requires a lot of planning! In order to support something like all the knowledge available on Wikipedia, we first need a way of storing representations of this knowledge. These representations of knowledge are called items.
Items are flexible enough to represent abstract concepts like childhood, hunger, and weight as well as real-world objects like a television, a kayak, and a volcano.
Item pages
Each item has its own page—where all the data about it is collected—and a unique identifier. This identifier always looks similar to Q###. While useful for machines and for representing knowledge in a lot of different languages, this identifier is not very human-friendly.
We will solve this in the first task of this tour. Let's take a closer look at the item page for planet Earth.
Labels
See how there is only a number identifying this item page? This is a unique identifier.
To avoid having to keep track of random identifiers like Q###, we give each item a name that most accurately reflects it. The names are called labels and should be added to all item pages. Since Wikidata is multilingual, labels can be added in any language (you can configure what languages you would like to see).
Got it? Great! Click the arrow to learn how to add your first label.
Edit
To add or modify labels, you just click on the "edit" button (in doing so, you'll also be taken to the next step).
Adding labels
Click into the text field and enter the label Earth for this item.
More on labels
Awesome job!
Here are some useful things to know about labels:
- A label is like a page title which describes what the item is about. It should be as short as possible (e.g. Earth, not Planet Earth)
- Labels do not have to be unique as they are disambiguated by descriptions—more on this later
- Use the most common name (e.g. cat not Felis catus) and only capitalize proper nouns (like London, Jupiter, or Hillary Clinton—but not city, planet, or politician)
Descriptions
As already mentioned, descriptions are used to disambiguate labels by providing more details about an item.
For example, “2007 nature documentary film” and “one of the four classical elements” are both descriptions for items called Earth—neither of which are the planet we live on!
It's ok to have multiple items with the same label as long as each item has a different description.
Again, don't capitalize words unless they're proper names.
Adding descriptions
Let's add our first description now!
Descriptions are edited just like labels. Just click into the text field!
Something like third planet in the Solar System would be a good description for Earth.

Good work!
Here's what to keep in mind when creating descriptions:
- Keep it short—descriptions are not sentences.
- Try to be as accurate and as neutral as possible—avoid using information that will change over time or that is considered controversial and biased.
- Descriptions should not normally begin with initial articles like "the" or "a".
- If you're stuck, Wikipedia is a good resource for coming up with descriptions for items—often the first two sentences of the item's article will provide enough information.
Aliases
There's only one last thing to do to name and identify our item: add any alternative names for Earth to the page.
An alternative name for an item, such as a nickname for a person or a scientific name for an animal, is called an alias on Wikidata. Adding aliases to our page will help map all alternative names and search terms for Earth onto the item you've worked so hard to improve!
More on aliases
Here's some more information about aliases:
- While an item can only have one label and one description per language, it can have multiple aliases
- Make sure to only capitalize proper nouns
It's also possible to add more than one alias to an item—new text boxes will appear for you to type in.
By the way, a good alias for Earth might be world.
Publish
Once you have finished, click on "publish".
Congratulations!
