Template:Welcome-anon

Welcome to Wikidata, new user!

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:

• Wikidata:Introduction — An introduction to the project.
• Help:Contents — The main help portal for editing and using the site.
• Wikidata:Project chat — Discussions about the project.
• Wikidata:Tools — A collection of user-developed JavaScript tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

You are welcome to continue editing without logging in, but you may want to consider creating an account. Doing so is free, requires no personal information, and provides several benefits. If you edit without a username, your IP address (Welcome-anon) is used to identify you instead. If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. 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! ~~~~
