Welcome to Wikidata, Albert SN!

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.

Merge/redirection[edit]

Although items like Haworthia coarctata (Q247770) and Haworthiopsis coarctata (Q58927106) say they are "instance of taxon", they are not. They are instances of taxon names. They have different identifiers in taxonomic databases, for example. We always keep them separate. In some cases, there are many items for each taxon. Look at the "taxonbar" at en:Syrmatium cytisoides. There are four Wikidata items corresponding to the taxon names that have been used for this species, and each has links to database entries.

Garbage/vandalism[edit]

What are you doing merging The ACES mission: System development and test status (Q58921106) with Haworthia coarctata (Q247770)? —Tom.Reding (talk) 19:30, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
