Welcome to Wikidata, 77.56.53.183!

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!

Links to Commons

Hello, please do not add links to files directly, use instead image (P18). Thank you, — TintoMeches, 16:05, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Oh, I will. Thanks for the hint! 77.56.53.183 16:14, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

No problem. :-) — TintoMeches, 16:48, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, note that an admin, Jared Preston, mentioned to me that "Commons categories should only be linked to category items" and removed the edit I did similar to the ones you have been doing as well. So if that happens the links you've removed on Commons should, apparently, still be used. TherasTaneel (talk) 18:35, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

This makes really no sense to me. I add a Commons category link to a Wikidata article item if and only if the Commons language links of that category are nonexistent, they are outdated, or when I update the Commons category. In case there exists a Wikidata category item for this topic, I add the Commons category link there. I even check if a Wikidata category item in another languages exists. You (or Jared Preston) are saying I should manually maintain the Commons language links? Sorry, but we live in 2015 :-) Once a Commons gallery site exists, one can change the Commons link of a Wikidata item easily. Such a change is painless and provable less effort than maintaining millions of language links. 77.56.53.183 20:28, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

I'm just telling what that admin said, not that I agree, that they apparently only want gallery pages from commons linked, not a commons-category, although it's seen - if not everywhere, then alot. Which as you say is alot easier. TherasTaneel (talk) 01:19, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
