Template:Uw-merge
Thank you for your work in maintaining Wikidata. I have a small suggestion to improve your future work. If you notice that two items are duplicates, please merge them instead of blanking one of them. External sites use Wikidata identifiers, so it is important that we preserve the chain of references. We do this by making one item a redirect for the other. In particular, item ids are intended to be a permanent identifier, so we never reuse them for another concept. See Help:Merge for more information on how to merge items, and consider installing the Merge Gadget. Thanks! ~~~~
This template should always be substituted – use {{subst:Uw-merge}} |
Usage
[edit]Note that this template has to be substituted, so use it in the form of {{subst:Uw-merge|Q42}}
. The template automatically adds {{subst:Welcome}} and a month-year header (i.e.
"September 2024"), if the edit that adds it is the edit that creates the user's talk page. To opt out of this feature, add a welcome=no
parameter.
This template can be used to advise users who do copy paste merge and do not set redirect. For more information, see Help:Merge.
