Bitte um Aufklärung

Hallo MisterSynergy, ich wundere mich etwas, dass es hier keine Löschdiskussion, Löschankündigung etc. gibt. Ich bin neu hier und brauche Wiki-Data um Bilder bei Wiki-Voyage einzubinden. Irgendwann wurde mir ohne Begründung gesagt, dass ich die Felder maximal füllen soll und fülle ich jetzt aus Ort=Heidelberg, Ort von politischen Entscheidungen=Heidelberg PLZ=Heidelberg Mittelzentrum=Heidelberg, also alles Dinge die aus meiner Sicht höchsten Sinn ergeben. Die anfänglich eingetragenen Objekte hatte ich jedoch noch nicht nachgetragen, weil mir trotz 12-Stunden Wiki-Arbeit so ein wenig die Zeit gefehlt hatte. Ich hatte es mir jedoch fest vorgenommen. Ich frage jetzt nicht, aus welchen Gründen ihr ein unbedeutendes Tochterprojekt mit so harter Hand ohne Not klein haltet und warum ihr die Leute damit verkratzt. Sicher habt ihr eure Grüne. Dass ihr nichts erklärt bzw. ich die Erklärungen noch nicht gefunden habe, alles geschenkt. Wer auf die Idee gekommen ist, die Bedienung so anzulegen, dass man höhere IT-Hellsichtigkeit braucht, um die Eintragungen überhaupt machen zu können – alles schwierig für mich. Aber danke jedenfalls für dein Weihnachtsgeschenk.

Jetzt mal eine inhaltliche Ansprache: Ich versuche mich als Wirtschaftswissenschaftler in Philosophie, Politologie, neuere Geschichte, Postakopolyptik, Soziologie und Anthropologie einzuarbeiten aus einem einzigen Grund: Um zu verstehen an was es hakt, dass Menschen ihre Enkel gefährden und wie man das hinbekommt, dass man das nicht nur theoretisch, sondern auch praktisch wieder ins Fahrwasser zu bekommen. Ich versuche jede Faser von gesellschaftlicher Diskussion mitzubekommen, vernetze mich, suche Freundschaften und bin dabei Journalist, Autor und Erwachsenbildner zu werden um auf allen Kanälen an einem Thema zu arbeiten: Warum tut der Mensch das was er macht und warum ist der Mensch in seinem tun so gigantisch kontraproduktiv. Jede Schafherde macht einen glücklicheren Eindruck als die Menschheit. Was ist die Ursache, dass Ziele (ich meine nicht die Regelwerke, sondern die strategischen Ziele) einfach so missachtet werden?

Gestern habe ich durch Zufall einen ehemaligen Verkehrsrichter kennen gelernt. Der Mann kannte weder die Rechtsentwicklung auf seinem Fachgebiet in den USA, noch war er interessiert, was ein Gesetzgeber an Intentionen hatte, als er bestimmte Gesetzestexte formulierte. Grass fand ich, dass er innerhalb eines Verkehrsversuchs (!) nur darauf wartet, bis ihn jemand bei der Regelübertretung erwischt, nur um dagegen klagen zu können und nachweisen zu können, dass ein Verkehrsschild eine Nuance außerhalb des zulässigen Bereichs aufgestellt ist, weil es vor Einrichtung des Verkehrsschildes aufgestellt und damals korrekt aufgestellt wurde.

schönes Fest wünsche ich Albrecht62 (talk) 03:56, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Hallo Albrecht62, hier fehlt Kontext in Deinem Beitrag. Geht es um spezifische, möglicherweise von mir gelöschte Datenobjekte?

Grundsätzlich ist der Löschprozess bei Wikidata ein bisschen anders als wie man es von den meisten anderen Wikimedia-Projekten kennt. Aufgrund der Menge an zu löschenden Datenobjekten und der Tatsache, dass ein substanzieller Teil davon durch Bots angelegt und bearbeitet werden, schaffen wir es (bei weitem) nicht, alle Fälle individuell zu diskutieren. Datenobjekte dürfen deshalb, wenn sie nicht den Richtlinien entsprechen, ohne weitere Warnung gelöscht werden. Sie werden auf Anfrage aber genauso unbürokratische wiederhergestellt, damit Verbesserungen vorgenommen werden können. Die wesentlich zu beachtende Richtlinie in diesem Kontext ist Wikidata:Notability, welche definiert in welchem Zustand ein Datenobjekt zulässig ist.

Viele Grüße, MisterSynergy (talk) 16:33, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

Wiederherstellung von Q131415133

Vor zwei Tagen hast du mehrere Wikidata-Ids grundlos gelöscht, die von Albrecht62 angelegt wurden. Alle diese Einträge sind touristisch (also für Wikivoyage) relevant. Z. B. die Heidelberger Himmelsleiter, Q131415133. Ich bitte dich, diese Löschung rückgängig zu machen. Es gibt hierzu sowohl Beschreibungen (z. B. im Atikel w:de:Königstuhl (Odenwald)) auf der deutschen Wikipedia als auch Abbildungen auf Wikimedia Commons.

Ich bin auch der Meinung, dass auch die anderen Wikidata-Ids Q131417103, Q131415121, Q131415015, Q131414991, Q131414905, Q131414822 wieder hergestellt werden sollten.

Ich weiß, dass die Arbeit als Admin sehr aufreibend sein kann. Aber gerade bei neuen Autoren würde ich erwarten, dass man die Probleme auf deren Benutzerseite anspricht. Ich denke, dass diese Ids dann auch hätten zeitnah befüllt werden können. Ich als Admin bekomme diese Probleme, die auf Wikidata entstanden sind, auch nur von verärgerten Autoren um die Ohren gehauen. Du hättest weningsten feststellen können, dass die Wikidata-Einträge bereits auf Wikivoyage benutzt worden waren und damit auch relevant sind. Vielen Dank für dein Verständnis. --RolandUnger (talk) 08:34, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Hier wird nichts "grundlos gelöscht". Die Datenobjekte erfüllen nicht die Kriterien aus Wikidata:Notability, und das steht auch in der Löschbegründung drin.

Von einer Nutzung dieser Datenobjekte in Wikivoyage ist mir nichts bekannt, und eine solche Nutzung ist auf den üblichen Wegen bisher nicht zu erkennen. Ich stelle trotzdem alle Datenobjekte wieder her und bitte hiermit ausdrücklich um einen Ausbau, mitsamt Angabe von externen Quellen. —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:03, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Erst einmal vielen Dank für die Wiederherstellung. Ich habe die Wikidata-Ids mittlerweile befüllt. Natürlich hätten die Datensätze schon von Anfang an umfangreicher sein können. Aber diese Datensätze erfüllten bereits zu diesem Zeitpunkt den Punkt 3 auf Wikidata:Notability. Damit sind deine Löschungen grundlos bzw. der angegebene Grund ist nicht stichhaltig.

Zu deiner Aussage: „Von einer Nutzung dieser Datenobjekte in Wikivoyage ist mir nichts bekannt, und eine solche Nutzung ist auf den üblichen Wegen bisher nicht zu erkennen.“ Dazu zwei Hinweise: zu jedem Wikidata-Id gibt es Seiteninformationen unter den Werkzeugen – ein durchaus üblicher Weg –, z. B. die für Q131415133, und dort sind unter Seiteneigenschaften die Wikis benannt, die die entsprechende Id bereits benutzen. Diese Spezialseite sollte unbedingt vorab kontaktiert werden. Dies ist der Kardinalfehler von manchen Admins, den wir immer mal wieder auf dem Administrators' noticeboard ansprechen, und wir bekommen hier jedes Mal recht. Zum anderen ist Wikivoyage das Wiki, das Wikidata bezogen auf die Artikelanzahl auf häufigsten (über 90 %) einsetzt. Siehe hierzu auch den Vortrag von Lydia Pintscher Glimpse over Wikidata (nach etwa 6:50 Minuten). Es geht nicht nur darum, Daten zu sammeln, sondern auch zu nutzen. Und dies wird vor allem auf Wikimedia Commons und Wikivoyage getan.

Vielen Dank für dein Interesse. --RolandUnger (talk) 11:27, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Die EntityUsage-Daten schaue ich tatsächlich jedesmal an, und das habe ich auch hier getan. Es gibt leider die seltenen Fälle, wo Datenobjektnutzung dort nicht gelistet ist. Möglicherweise ist das hier so ein Fall. —MisterSynergy (talk) 13:02, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

could you please restore some of the empty wikidata items?

hello, sorry for bothering you. would you be so kind to restore some of the empty wikidata items you have deleted? we are in the process of populating them (we are organising a campaign of writing article about notable females on the Ukrainian Wikipedia, and we use wikidata items to create lists for creating and improving articles), namely:

• Q131415846
• Q131407138
• Q131406228
• Q131415564
• Q131407165
• Q131415861
• Q131415901
• Q131402352

apologies for leaving them empty, we shall try to be more diligent about this moving forward. thank you! -- アンタナナ 13:26, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Done. Please do not create new items quicker than you can populate them with actual data. —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:05, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

Consider Restoring Q129266285 (Mayberry Pharmacy)

Could you consider restoring Q129266285 (Mayberry Pharmacy), which you deleted for not meeting the notability policy? I believe that this entry was referring to https://mayberrypharmacy.co.uk/ which is a small pharmacy chain with seven physical branches in the UK -- so it's a clearly identifiable material entity. It's also a UK-registered limied company 03812234 and each branch is registered with the General Pharmacuitical Council [1] -- which means that it is described by serious and publicly available references.

Many thanks, Rjw62 (talk) 22:48, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Done. Please add serious references which are independent of the described entity itself to make it compliant with the notability policy. ---MisterSynergy (talk) 23:20, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

Is there way to remove one qualifier by QuickStatements?

Hi, there's another batch i need. But instead of you doing it, could you teach me how to do it myself? That way i dont have to keep bothering you whenever i need to run it Trade (talk) 17:08, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Not sure whether this is possible, as I am certainly not the best QuickStatements editor. In the past I often ran into limitations with QuickStatements, thus I do most jobs with custom-written pywikibot scripts via PAWS. The current script, for instance, is here. Once one is familiar with Python and the pywikibot library, these jobs are actually not that difficult. —MisterSynergy (talk) 17:50, 24 January 2025 (UTC)

Property creator

Hi MisterSynergy, ich hab mal ne Frage: Hast du nicht Lust, auch ein Property Creator zu werden? Wir könnten die Hilfe wirklich brauchen... ich selbst muss meinen inneren Schweinehund immer sehr überwinden und mache manchmal monatelang Pause, und komme dann zu einem Backlog >50 zurück ...

Wahrscheinlich hab ich dir gerade eine goldene Brücke gebaut, nein zu sagen :)

Viele Grüße, Jonathan Groß (talk) 07:36, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Hallo Jonathan, wenn ich mehr Zeit hätte, dann ginge das vielleicht… aber das ist seit mittlerweile einigen Jahren nicht mehr der Fall. Mit dem Bot-Betrieb (ca. 60 Jobs) und meinen Admin-Aktivitäten bin ich im Grunde bereits weit überlastet. Trotzdem danke für die Nachfrage, und Viele Grüße! —MisterSynergy (talk) 08:05, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Danke für die Antwort, das kann ich gut verstehen. Ich war zwischendurch auch für ein paar Jahre iher weg und meine Beitragszahlen korrelieren frappant mit bestimmten Lebens- und Berufsphasen. Viele Grüße, Jonathan Groß (talk) 09:23, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

User:MsynABot is inactive for nearly six months

Hello, in case you missed it, User:MsynABot has been inactive since September 2024, which is nearly six months ago. According to Wikidata:Administrators, your administrator access may lose in case of inactivity. Midleading (talk) 02:44, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

I am aware, thank you. A critical component of the bot, maintained by someone else, broke away last year and I do not find the time to implement a replacement. —MisterSynergy (talk) 06:11, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, I have removed the admin flag. I am sure it will be easy to get it back via another request if needed. Ymblanter (talk) 20:28, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

I have a suspicion about what is broken but can you clarify? Then maybe something can be done to help fix it. Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 11:28, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

The bot used to download and process a file that was updated once per week by the Wikidata Concepts Monitor (Q42376073) tool. It stopped working roughly a year ago, as you can see on this index page from the timestamps. Only the file wdcm_topItems.csv is of interest for my bot, and as much as I remember, it was specifically created upon my request for this bot.

If the tool and its updates do not return, I would need to gather this data by myself which would require a deep dive into the underlying database schema which I am currently not very familiar with. My available time for Wikidata is pretty limited meanwhile, and this will not get any better in the future unfortunately. —MisterSynergy (talk) 14:45, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Ok I feared that is what happened. Thank you. I have opened phab:T388010 to get a regular report back. Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 15:01, 5 March 2025 (UTC)

Report can be found at https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/kvasir1/ , the first version also counts entityusage on wikidatawiki, but the next ones won't. I also plan to rewrite the tool to speed it up. Infrastruktur (talk) 12:19, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Oh great! Thank you @Infrastruktur!

@MisterSynergy: Can you confirm this works for you? Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) 16:48, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Looks promising on first impression, and it roughly follows the strategy that I have outlined in Phabricator as well (loop over all projects to query local client data, and ultimately aggregate everything together). There are a couple of aspects for fine tuning before I would actually let the bot try to use the output. I’ll talk to User:Infrastruktur when I have a little more time for this. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:15, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

My first analysis—correlating usage counts and rankings of the new output with the latest result from the old tool—shows that the kvasir1 tool by User:Infrastruktur does indeed produce a result that is very similar to the old WDCM tool. I think I could indeed use it with very little modifications. I would, however, request the following:

• to include all items with 300+ uses, instead of limiting it to the top 100.000 used items
• not to update the tsv file if any of the queries for any of the Wikibase clients has failed or was incomplete; parsing the log seems too fragile to me to find out that the result is compromised
• I am not sure why we need to exclude wikidatawiki from the results; consider to include it just as all other wikis

So far my first impression. —MisterSynergy (talk) 00:21, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Currently testing out the changes. Set the script that runs everything to run in strict mode; which will result in no files being updated if the python script exits with a non-zero status. Some errors are more likely to happen, especially databases can be taken offline, even in the midst of a query. I checked that PyMYSQL throws an exception if we try to connect to a server that it can't find or a database that doesn't exist. I don't know if PyMySQL will throw if a query fails, it doesn't return any status so exceptions is the only thing that can catch these errors. I did add an extra check to verify that the correct amount of inserts are done to the ToolDB database, and it will throw an exception if this is not the case. Hopefully it will throw if the last query fails, it has to aggregate 113M rows so conceivably it could run out of memory if the server is under heavy load. It's currently set to run night to Saturday at 01:00.

It also occurred to me you can also just read the output data directly from the VFS mount if you prefer. Infrastruktur (talk) 22:30, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the update. Take your time to get it running robustly, this is not so critical that it couldn't wait for another week or two.

I do by myself in fact operate two bot jobs [2][3] which also loop over all 800-ish Wikimedia projects to run queries and aggregate the results, so I am well aware of the difficulties, including all the things which can go wrong with client database access as well as the memory limitations on Toolforge. It took me weeks to get those jobs running somewhat smoothly, and the oversight of the weekly execution shows that there are still occasionally situation when the bot just fails. Anyways, since I use another database connector (mariadb), I cannot really help you with the PyMYSQL stuff. —MisterSynergy (talk) 23:14, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Alright, User:Infrastruktur, I have now migrated my bot to use your query result (diff). There are currently ~6800 page protections that need to be added, and ~480 to be lifted.

Is there anything on your side that prevents us from getting the bot back into service? I would need to talk to the bureaucrats whether I need to go through the admin and bot approval process again, or whether an informal request would be sufficient after losing the admin flag only recently. —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:03, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Rescheduling the job to run roughly 48 hours before yours, currently set for Wed 01:00. I think we are good to go starting next week, nothing more planned except setting up logrotate. Infrastruktur (talk) 15:35, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

Bureaucrats want to see a new RfA, thus it will take at least another week. Once the admin flag is back, I'd run the bot manually to catch up with the backlog. Afterwards, the regular schedule (every Friday 10pm UTC) is fine IMO. —MisterSynergy (talk) 16:03, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

The initial run has finished, the bot will now do its job weekly as described in my previous comment. If it finds an outdated results file, it will not do anything harmful and catch up a week later.

As mentioned earlier, there should just *not* be an updated, but *incomplete' results file because whatever went wrong during the results file generation. —MisterSynergy (talk) 08:24, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Heinrich Hugo Coentgen Q55905471

Hallo MisterSynergy (nach längerer Zeit mal wieder)
in diesem Objekt fand ich einen einen merkwürdigen Fehler, den ich möglicherweise selbst verursacht habe und den ich nicht beheben kann. Der Eintrag zu Creator-Vorlage ist als problematisch gekennzeichnet. Über den Link gelangt man auf eine leere Seite. Geht man aber vom Eintrag zu Commons-Kategorie über den dort vorhandenen Link, sieht man, dass in der Commons-Kategorie sich auch die Creator-Vorlage befindet, über die man die gleiche Wikidata-Seite erreichen kann. Also in diese Richtung ist das richtig verlinkt, aber von Wikidata aus nicht. Ich hoffe, dass Du den Feler findest. Gruß Mewa767 (talk) 02:36, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Bei Commons ist die Creator-Vorlage unter einer falschen Schreibweise eingestellt ("Coetgen" statt "Coentgen"). Du müsstest dort die Seite zum korrekten Titel verschieben. Viele Grüße! —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:18, 10 March 2025 (UTC)

Vielen Dank. Dumm, dass ich so einen enfachen Fehler nicht finden konnte. Viele Grüße --Mewa767 (talk) 01:32, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Q132861529

Hi, MisterSynergy in der w:de:Wikipedia:Redaktion_Chemie#Disilylene hat man über die Löschung Verwunderung ausgedrückt. Kannst Du mehr dazu sagen warum es gelöscht wurde, oder es wiederherstellen damit wir von der Redaktion es uns nochmal anschauen können? Calle Cool (talk) 09:01, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

It is restored, but it cannot remain in this condition. The data item needs a link to a serious source that provides a definition of the described entity.

More in general, this is one of many (hundreds) of data items that are being created and then abandoned without meeting the notability criteria. We usually delete these items without further notice. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:22, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Verstanden und auch absolutes Verständnis dafür. Rjh hat nun eine Quelle hinterlegt. Vielen Dank und frohes Administrieren 😉--Calle Cool (talk) 20:01, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

I think that this discussion is resolved and can be archived. If you disagree, don't hesitate to replace this template with your comment. Calle Cool (talk) 20:01, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

P642 constraint

Since you raised the question of what more we can do to dissuade use of P642, I thought you might be interested in the fact that one editor is willing to war to keep the "none-of" constraint off. Swpb (talk) 13:53, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

Sitelink for hiwiktionary by using the canonical namespace prefix

Hello, I'am from Hindi Wikipedia (hiwiki). I just noticed your bot edited to use 'अनुखंड:' canonical namespace prefix to replace 'Module:' namespace (example here). However, this change was temporary as it wasn't discussed with the community and later on this change was revoked. Now, Hindi wiki projects are again using the 'Module:' name for this namespace. This needs to be restored. I'm not sure where to make such request. Please help. --SM7^--talk-- 16:50, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

I see. But it's a mess, unfortunately, with these canonical namespaces. Do you remember when this configuration has been changed?

My bot relies on the pywikibot framework to get canonical namespaces sorted, which by itself probably pulls this information from the MediaWiki API as much as I am aware. An edit such as the one you have provided happens when the bot finds a sitelink using a namespace alias, and then normalizes the sitelink to use the canonical namespace. At least, this is what I understand from the pywikibot documentation.

Following this API call, the canonical namespace is currently indeed called "Module" on hiwiktionary. However, hi:wikt:Module:hi-translit still redirects to the localized variant which seems to be the one that is primarily exposed to the users on the wiki. Technically, the sitelink is still valid as much as I am aware. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:55, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

MsynABot

Hi, I flagged MsynABot again as administrator. It can do its runs again! --Lymantria (talk) 13:37, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Thank you —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:25, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

I do have a question about the new bot activity. I saw MsynABot revoked semi-protection from Nederlands Soortenregister (Q2246990) while this item has more that 500 inlinks. Are links at wikidata not considered? --Lymantria (talk) 18:51, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

No, these internal backlinks from other entity namespaces in Wikidata are not considered. Also, usage at Commons SDC is not being considered as this is rather difficult to query at this point.

What counts as usage in the sense of this scheme is data usage in Wikibase clients (of which Wikidata can be one) via modules or parser functions that pull data from Wikidata. You can find relevant usage via e.g. Page information#Page properties (accessible from the toolbar), which links all Wikibase clients that are (or have been) using the entity, and also displays which pages use different aspects of a data item.

The underlying RfC back then was motivated by widely visible vandalism on Wikimedia pages that were downstream users of Wikidata items. As much as I remember, highly used items were a particularly attractive target for vandals at the time as vandalism could be spread efficiently that way, thus the RfC aimed to prevent this by limiting edits to highly used items. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:15, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. --Lymantria (talk) 05:26, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Just read through the RFC. I could probably expand the statistics to give the bot more options for the future.

Assuming ToolsDB doesn't protest about the memory usage, I might be able to have it do aggregations for how many times a label for Q12345 was used, how many times a claim from Q12345 was used and how many total uses from Q12345 there was. And even if I run into memory issues, the data can be split up into batches. You could then use the numbers to calculate a score that weighs some data as more important (claims).

The database tables keeps tracks of some links, but IIRC for incoming links only the search back-end keeps track of this. The number is pre-calculated too. I have experimented with it in the past so I know I can use it to make aggregations on searches, so it ought to be possible to have it have it produce a top-list of incoming links internally on Wikidata.

Both of the above are interesting tasks I wouldn't mind working on, regardless of if they end up being used. I'm not familiar enough with Commons SDC to comment on it. Infrastruktur (talk) 22:59, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

I do not think that we should expand the scope of the current protection scheme beyond its current extent as otherwise the number of affected items would quickly explode to very substantial numbers.

Usage in Commons SDC as well as internal Wikidata usage would be interesting to know for sure, but I am not aware of a serious vandalism situation that would warrant an new protection scheme tied to such usage. Both web UIs of Wikidata and SDC are very much editor tools with *much* less reader traffic as Wikipedia pages, thus I think there is no significant motivation for vandals to exploit highly used items via structured data. —MisterSynergy (talk) 23:09, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

DeltaBot update

Hello, can you run command on your Bot to update the subpages from here? Thanks. — SimplyFreddie (talk) 10:25, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Some of the pages have been updated, for others the query seems to fail for some reason. I need to investigate what is going on here. Do you have a specific page in mind which would benefit from an update? ---MisterSynergy (talk) 20:46, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I'm thinking about list on Serbian Wikipedia (/sr subpage). — SimplyFreddie (talk) 21:50, 30 April 2025 (UTC)

The problem seems too complex for a quick solution. Meanwhile, you can use the query for srwiki at WDQS. The bot just writes a "pretty" version of that query result to the report page. ---MisterSynergy (talk) 20:45, 1 May 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much. By the way, is it the code that is already written in the box? I'm getting some kind of timeout error without results. — SimplyFreddie (talk) 09:56, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

This is kinda the problem that I have. It sometimes times out, and sometimes finishes easily and well within the timeout limit of 60 s. Try it again one or two times, maybe it will give you a result. ---MisterSynergy (talk) 12:25, 2 May 2025 (UTC)

Removal of item Q134049092

Hi! Just a quick note regarding the item you recently removed as one that did not meet the notability requirements. This item was a work in progress, associated with the International Digital Dura-Europos Archive (IDEA). This item serves a structural purpose, but the editing was incomplete as we finalized research for the item enrichment. Is there a way to restore the item? Ahc84 (talk) 17:17, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

It is restored, please expand it. —MisterSynergy (talk) 17:42, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

EntityUsage stats

The entity-usage statistics for May 8th is missing due to a DB server (nupwiki) on cluster 5 becoming inaccessible at 23:39 UTC on May 7th 2025. The last planned maintenance on that cluster was March 25th, so this looks like unplanned maintenance. Infrastruktur (talk) 15:11, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

Undelete request for Nigel Hughes (Q62127999)

Please undelete Nigel Hughes (Q62127999) who is Nigel Hughes the co-founder of Green Light Trust (Q5602807) See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Light_Trust and https://web.archive.org/web/20190530181810/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigel_Hughes Thanks Piecesofuk (talk) 11:47, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

Do we have external sources available? —MisterSynergy (talk) 17:20, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

There are references in his old Wikipedia article to pass WDN2 and since the Green Light Trust (Q5602807) was founder (P112) him he also passes WDN3 Piecesofuk (talk) 18:19, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

I am not able to verify most of the information provided on the deleted en-Wikipedia page via the references in there. BLP is an issue here, thus I am asking for an external source that describes him well enough to merit a Wikidata item. ---~~~~ MisterSynergy (talk) 07:25, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

@MisterSynergy It lists a full-page article about him and his husband in The Times which you should be able to read at https://www.thetimes.com/uk/environment/article/the-weetabix-house-ngqnm3zf986 or maybe at link-gale-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/apps/doc/IF0502866409/TTDA?u=wikipedia&sid=bookmark-TTDA&xid=35725793 Piecesofuk (talk) 09:40, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

The article is here: https://archive.is/2rkiV

I am not doubting that this person exists or has some reasonable role in Green Light Trust (Q5602807).

However, seeing the deleted article contained plenty of unsourced information about this person that seemed to have been included by someone with insider knowledge, I am not sure whether we have potential some problem with promotional efforts at hand. Thus I am asking for some external description for this person, beyond anectoral descriptions of how he has run his organization two decades ago. The deleted Wikipedia article is not helpful here, unfortunately. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:28, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

@MisterSynergy The role he has with Green Light Trust was that he co-founded it with his husband, I believe this is enough to pass WDN3. Here's more evidence: https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds/news/two-mens-bid-to-protect-a-part-of-the-rainforest-9117512/ archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20250209072110/https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds/news/two-mens-bid-to-protect-a-part-of-the-rainforest-9117512/ If there is unsourced information on the item then I'll provide references or remove it. Piecesofuk (talk) 06:41, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

His capacity as a founder does not automatically make him notable, and we need to trade it against the BLP issue. Only when he is described as an individual, e.g. in some external authority file or database, or in an article within a serious source that describes him as a person (and not just him in the role of a founder), the notability situation becomes clear to pass WD:N. —MisterSynergy (talk) 23:14, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

The Times article clearly describes him as an individual: "Twenty years ago Nigel and Ric were living the rollercoaster ride of self-employment as an actor and writer respectively. Based in London at the time, they had also rented a small cottage in Lawshall. The rent was a mere £2 a week, but that was in return for getting stuck in with repairs, including fixing the leaky roof and reassembling the jigsaw puzzle of beams that had been thrown out. Once most of the work had been done, they decided it was time for adventure and took off in search of virgin rainforest... And so began a totally new chapter in their lives, which has continued ever since. Working with William Takaku, director at the time of the National Theatre company of Papua New Guinea, they created a drama show that toured the forest by dugout canoe and performed its agit prop to mobilise local opposition against wanton deforestation."

His work re Papua New Guinea has been broadcast by the BBC https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/36a465ba730f43e39657ddfcd687a69f

A number of his acting roles can be seen at https://theatricalia.com/person/104w/nigel-hughes

This article in the Evening Telegraph https://www.newspapers.com/image/872653285 describes some of his acting roles including Judas in Godspell (musical) (Q1533927) and Paul McCartney in the play John, Paul, George, Ringo … and Bert (Q6217325)

Another article in Suffolk News talks about plans for a possible movie https://web.archive.org/web/20210714064913/https://www.suffolknews.co.uk/bury-st-edmunds/news/couples-dream-of-cheetah-movie-moves-a-step-closer-after-fu-9207271/

His current Companies House officer ID (P5297) entry can be seen at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/D6uR3r3_GN2yVjQt-18nJw9Bv14/appointments Piecesofuk (talk) 10:01, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Now we have enough, and the item is restored. Please expand it with external sources to pervent another deletion in the future. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:32, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, I've updated it, added references and a number of incoming links Piecesofuk (talk) 06:44, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Why did you remove https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134583312 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q134577547?

The items had a description, they exist in real life and were linked in OSM. Your deletion broke the links.

--RubenKelevra (talk) 05:18, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

None of that matters for inclusion. Please refer to Wikidata:Notability in order to learn how you make items compliant with that policy. If you have serious external sources for these entities, please show them here so that we can restore the items. —MisterSynergy (talk) 21:27, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi when you delete items like Q28866094 please remove links to it from other items like Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Vierkirchen (Oberlausitz) (Q31945935). Not doing so causes errors on pages using this data, like the Lua Errors on c:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Vierkirchen (Oberlausitz) page. Jarekt (talk) 04:05, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Badge

Hello. What is the pint of this badge change? Badge was correct. Eurohunter (talk) 18:33, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

This was an edit in November 2023. The page had this condition back then, and technically did not qualify as a redirect page. Not sure whether this was intentional or some accident by the procedural templates used on the page at that time. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:52, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Q134052499

Hello @MisterSynergy,

Would you please consider restoring the deleted item "Q134052499 = Ecocirta"?

Ecocirta is a legally registered environmental association in Algeria. It has received funding from the GEF/UNDP, publishes the scientific journal Natura Algerica, and has an accepted ROR request that will be published in the next release. This request uses the Wikidata ID, and it risks being omitted in the published version if the ID is deleted..

I believe it meets Wikidata's notability criteria and I can provide reliable sources for other external mentions (newspapers, TV, Radio...).

Thank you for your time and consideration. Mediche (talk) 19:35, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

It is restored. However, in this condition it is not compliant with the notability policy at WD:N. Please add a base set of statements including references to serious external sources. There is otherwise a risk that the page will be deleted again, either as empty or promotional item. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:03, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much, yes I'll do. Mediche (talk) 18:51, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Wikidata patrol dashboard

https://wdpd.toolforge.org/ has been last updated at the beginning of June. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 11:24, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice.

The ipblocks table has been removed. Seems I need to put some serious effort into the tool in order to get it running again. I can't promise right now when I find the time for it, unfortunately. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:33, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

If it's just the "users with block history" dashboard, I think we can live without it as long as the rest is working. But it's totally up to you. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 19:00, 22 June 2025 (UTC)

With the upcoming temporary accounts for IP users, there will likey be more adaptation necessary anyways. If that is too complicated, I would probably need to retire the tool. —MisterSynergy (talk) 17:30, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Uh, that's sad to hear, and it could be fatal. It's currently the only tool (I am aware of) which provides complete lists of changes by language https://wdpd.toolforge.org/by_lang (including "termbox", as I wrote here: [4]).

I was wondering if I could help somehow. I was looking at the code, and the structure seems quite clear to me. This looks like the function which needs to be updated. Let me see... --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 16:16, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, I made the tool because I was missing plenty of filter options at the time when I was more active as a patroller, and I think that patrolling at Wikidata very much depends on the availability of a large variety of filters—much more than on other wikis.

Technically, the tool is still more a concept than a fully developed tool, although it has at some point found its way from PAWS to Toolforge. Preferably, I would update the backend to use a temporary tool database instead of CSV files (not that difficult for me to get done), and have a completely new frontend (not in my skillset). The frontend could dynamically pull data via an API using Javascript, load diffs on request, and also provide a login for patrol action triggered within the tool and so on. Unfortunately, I never seriously touched Javascript and its modern frameworks, so this is for any foreseeable future not something I am able to attack.

The identified piece of code is more or less correct. Unfortunately, they have come up with a somewhat peculiar scheme for the block target table (different columns for registered and unregistered users), so right now I am not sure whether I can just update the query or there is more to change. I'll have a closer look for this particular problem, but the temporary user problem is much more of a concern for me as this would probably require changes at many places in the backend. —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:14, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

I think the tool is good as-is. In fact, the only thing where I really really miss JavaScript are (un)sortable tables. Something like class="sortable" on-wiki would change a lot.

As for the blocks, I have come to the same conclusion. Anecdotally, when IPs will be gone forever, we will only have to deal with registered users. Another news to consider is multiblocks, i.e., we can have more than one block per user. So perhaps it isn't worth the effort. What about replacing the function with a dummy (empty) data frame for now? --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 20:50, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

I have applied a hotfix on Toolforge and the full tool result update is working for the moment. However, I think the query result for range blocks is not correct yet and I need to dig a bit deeper. This only affects minor results sets, so not a huge issue as much as I think.

But now I am concerned that I have never heard of multiblocks… :-/ —MisterSynergy (talk) 21:08, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! For multiblocks, see m:Community Wishlist Survey 2023/Multiblocks. It's the means for applying multiple simultaneous blocks to a user and the reason why we now need more than one table and Special:Block looks different. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 07:23, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Understood, thank you for the link! —MisterSynergy (talk) 07:57, 29 June 2025 (UTC)

Beschränkung der Editiermöglichkeit

Hallo Mister Synergy, als ich heute einen Namen korrigieren wollte, der in allen möglichen Sprachen, die lateinsche Schrift verwenden, offensichtlich von einem Bot reinkopiert wurde, ging das schief. Ich habe folgende Meldung erhalten "Die Speicherung konnte aufgrund eines Fehlers nicht ausgeführt werden. Die Speicherung ist fehlgeschlagen. Im Rahmen einer Anti-Missbrauchs-Maßnahme kann diese Aktion in einem kurzen Zeitabstand nur begrenzt oft ausgeführt werden. Diese Grenze hast du überschritten. Bitte versuche es in ein paar Minuten erneut." Ich habe mehrmals versucht, die Änderungen zu speichern, jeweils nach längeren Pausen, so wie in der Meldung empfohlen wird, doch das hat nichts gebracht. Ich war gezwungen den Vorgang abzubrechen, so dass die Änderungen verloren gingen. So etwas ist ärgerlich. Könntest du bitte meine Rechte so ändern, dass ich von dieser Beschränkung nicht betroffen bin? Beste Grüße Mewa767 (talk) 02:07, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Ich kann nicht exakt nachvollziehen, was passiert ist. Das hört sich nicht so an, als könne ich da Rechte einstellen. Vermutlich hast Du zuviele Edits innerhalb einer Minute gemacht und daher ein Rate-Limit erreicht. Das kann schonmal passieren, wenn man "zu viele" Bezeichnungen über die Web-Oberfläche bearbeitet. Ich gehe davon aus, dass Du das Datenobjekt wieder bearbeiten kannst. Viele Grüße! —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:10, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Letzte Löschungen bitte rückgängig machen

Hallo, übers Wochenende wurden eine Vielzahl meiner neu angelegten Wikidata IDs gelöscht. Ich bin erst seit zwei Wochen dabei, neue IDs anzulegen und war mir nicht bewusst, dass ich gleich beim Anlegen die Quellen anlegen muss. Das wollte ich mir als nächsten Arbeitsschritt vornehmen. Ich brauche die IDs für ein derzeitiges Forschungsprojekt über historische Reiseberichte (https://editions.curioustravellers.ac.uk/), um die Projekt IDs zu verlinken. Das Problem ist, dass es sich bei der Mehrheit der Ortsnamen um kleine Ortschaften oder, in einigen Fällen, verschwundene Orte handelt, die nur sehr dürftig einschlägig beschrieben wurden. Wäre es möglich, die Löschungen rückgängig zu machen, damit ich die Einträge entsprechend mit Quellen verlinken kann. Notability sollte dadurch hoffentlich erreicht werden. Dankeschön! Bydbach (talk) 09:42, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Die ersten 10 Datenobjekte sind wiederhergestellt. Wenn die ausgebaut sind, dann mache ich gern weiter.

Grundsätzlich sollten die Kriterien nach WD:N von Beginn an eingehalten werden. Es ist leider ein typisches Muster, dass Benutzer erstmal eine Menge neuer Datenobjekte anlegen – und den Ausbau dann später nicht mehr auf die Reihe bekommen. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:57, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Dankeschön! Auf ans Werk. Bydbach (talk) 08:51, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Erledigt. Bitte um die nächsten Datensätze. Bydbach (talk) 09:48, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Ich habe 10 weitere Datenobjekte wiederhergestellt.

Mehr Inhalt wäre allerdings wünschenswert. Zwar ist jetzt eine Quelle angegeben, und damit das Relevanzproblem aus der Welt. Im aktuellen Zustand haben die Datenobjekte aber keinerlei Mehrwert für Wikidata. Ein paar grundlegende Aussagen zur Definition des Datenobjektes könnte das ändern. —MisterSynergy (talk) 17:39, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Grundlegende Aussagen in Richtung Kategorisierung? ZB. Landeszugehörigkeit, County, etc? Bydbach (talk) 08:45, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Habe diesen Satz jetzt auch mit Quellen ergänzt und versucht, Kategorisierungen mit anzulegen. Bydbach (talk) 09:36, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

Ich habe nun auch die letzten fehlenden Datenobjekte wiederhergestellt.

Als Definition sind vor allem einfache Aussagen, zuerst instance of (P31), zu verstehen. —MisterSynergy (talk) 13:15, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Dankeschön. Ich werde mich in den nächsten Tagen an die Arbeit machen. Vielen Dank nochmal, für die Wiederherstellung der Einträge. Bydbach (talk) 13:54, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, ich schon wieder. Darf ich nachfragen, weshalb Q137210458 Cheam School, Surrey, gelöscht wurde? Der Eitrag hatte sich auf das erste Gebäude der Einrichtung bezogen, nicht auf das gegenwärtige. Bydbach (talk) 16:37, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Hallo Bydbach, das war ein leeres Datenobjekt, mit lediglich einer Bezeichnung und einer Beschreibung (keine Aussagen, keine Sitelinks, keine Belege). So weiß niemand, um was es da wirklich geht. Soll ich es wiederherstellen? —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:29, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Hallo! Ich hab grad nochmal meine Unterlagen gecheckt. Alles gut. Da hatte sich ein Fehlerteufel eingeschlichen. Die Löschung ist korrekt. Dankeschön! Bydbach (talk) 18:18, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

Q4881966 undeletion request

Please consider undeletion of Q4881966. The item for it was recreated in Q111249775. I think it's good to merge two items. Jarash (talk) 16:38, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Q111249775 needs a proper definition first. In its current form, it qualifies for deletion as well. —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:28, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

Fake elements

Hi MisterSynergy,
I saw that you have deleted some empty items, including Q135229131, Q135229123, which had been created by User:PCG-HistoriendeLorraine.
Actually this user has attempted, several times, to create a fictive article on the french wiki, as it can be seen on their talk page there, as well as on their (unofficial) 2nd account's.
User also created the same page (in duplicate versions) on fr.wikiversity, that were deleted (eligibility debate #1 - eligibility debate #2.
Ultimately, there is an open deletion request for the files uploaded by user's 2 accounts, on commons, since the files declared “as authentic” are in fact mostly generated by IA and that none of them can be corroborated by any reference.
So it's very likely that all elements created by this user here are highly non relevant.
—Kontributor 2K (talk) 14:08, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

remove unnecessary use of preferred rank

Hello. Please change the Requests for permissions/Bot/MsynBot 13 - your bot changes some setting necessary for the RoWiki. Like those from https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q108655270, Andrei Mărginean (Q108586607) or Antonio Bordușanu (Q106507468). Thanks. Cetateanul Rosu (talk) 10:22, 21 August 2025 (UTC)

Latvian Olympic Committee athlete ID number (P2593)

Servus Kollege, ich hoffe mal spontan du kannst mir helfen. Latvian Olympic Committee athlete ID number (P2593) wurde ja archived, da die Links nicht mehr funktionieren. Das NOK Lettlands hat aber lediglich sein URL-Schema geändert. Mal am Beispiel von Kaspars Astašenko (Q126439). Alt und aktuell mit P2593 verlinkt ist https://olimpiade.lv/lv/latvijas-olimpiesi/kaspars-astasenko-92 ... neu wäre aber https://www.olimpiade.lv/olimpietis/92 . Heißt die Nummer am Ende wurde scheinbar zu einer Art Athleten-ID. Frage ist nun, kann man die Property anpassen oder brauch es eine völlig neue? Ich überlege eine entsprechende Datenbankvorlage mit Wikidata-Zugriff in der WP zu bauen, aber da müsste das ja vorher geklärt werden. Ich ergänze hier zwar regelmäßig Daten und korrigiere sie, aber so deep bzgl. der Properties bin ich halt nicht und da du mir als deutschprachiger Admin auf Wikidata vorgeschlagen wurdest, hoffe ich auf deine Hilfe. --Wikijunkie (talk) 09:50, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Hallo Wikijunkie, der reinen Lehre nach würden wir wohl eine neue Eigenschaft anlegen, in der Praxis ist ein Umbau aber auch häufiger zu sehen. Dazu müsste das URL-Schema und ein paar andere Sachen auf der Eigenschaftsseite angepasst werden, und die Identifikatoren für alle knapp 600 Datenobjekte mit der Eigenschaft müssen alle auf die numerische ID reduziert werden. Letzteres geht ganz gut automatisiert, und ich kann das innerhalb dieser Woche erledigen.

Sind wir sicher, das auch alle knapp 600 Profile in der aktuellen Datenbank noch zugänglich sind, oder haben sie Teile fallen lassen? —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:51, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Schwierig, keine Ahnung ob es für alle 600 Links so einfach funktioniert. Habe nur eine Stichprobe bislang durchgeführt anhand manuell gesetzter Links in Wikipedia. Ob man die Überprüfung per Bot durchführen kann, da muss ich mangels tiefergehender Kenntnis im Moment passen. Da wärst du glaube ich eher der Experte. Übrigens gibt es aktuell eine weitere Property die nicht mehr funzt, aber noch nicht archived is, nämlich The-Sports.org athlete ID (P4391). Die Diskussion dazu blieb seit langer Zeit unbeantwortet: Property_talk:P4391#Not_working_correctly. Auch hier würde ein Fix mal Sinn machen, damit bspw. die The-Sports-Vorlage auf DE-WP wieder mit Wikidata kompatibel ist und man nicht den mehr die ID manuell setzen muss. --Wikijunkie (talk) 00:44, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

Which are all used on Commons. I do not know why were they empty. I looked at some of them and most were introduced by User:Bukk. Once restored I promise to fill them quickly. Jarekt (talk) 03:28, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to know too why those items are empty. Greetz! Bukk (talk) 05:12, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Bukk, I suspect that a lot of them are empty because after the creation, nobody added any statements to those items. Look for example at Q135409663, which was not deleted, but in one month after creation by you, did not have any statements. --Jarekt (talk) 12:45, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Jarekt! What can I do to avoid such mistakes? Greetz! Bukk (talk) 13:48, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

I have checked some of those, and they all had no claims and no usage on Commons. A prototypical example of abandoned content due to tool malfunction or lack of skill which we need to tidy up so regularly. Also, please mind that some of the listed items have been deleted by other admins.

Since it is that much content, may I propose that I restore in batches of 10 to provide you with time to tidy this up incrementally. Would this work out? —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:49, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

Batches of 10 will work for me. By the way, once or twice a year I clean up a backlog of c:Category:Artworks with Wikidata item missing image and c:Category:Artworks with Wikidata item: quick statements or files with metadata stored on commons which are linked to artwork items on Wikidata which has less metadata. Right now all files in c:Category:Artworks with Wikidata item missing image are connected to deleted items. One easy way to create Wikidata item for an artwork is to create empty item connect infobox on commons to that item, automatically move metadata using quick statements, and clean up by adding references and urls to the item. It looks like user Bukk and probably others do the first part of the transfer but loose track of it before completing, and every time I clean up those categories I have to undelete few dozen items. --Jarekt (talk) 03:01, 27 August 2025 (UTC).

batch is done. please let me know when I should continue —MisterSynergy (talk) 12:12, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

@Jarekt Please be very careful as Bukk is notorious for creating many duplicate items instead of just linking images to the existing ones (as there are indeed often several files for a single painting). I've been spending a lot of time identifying and merging hundreds of them, during the last couple of years, and am still struggling with his latest August spree :(. As an example, the 4th on the list here has been created from File:Bouguereau, Bacchante sur une panthère, 1855 (5590348394).jpg which is obviously just an alternate version of File:William Adolphe Bouguereau - Bacchante on a Panther - 1980.238.2 - Cleveland Museum of Art.tif and should just have been linked to the same item. So I just needed to merge the item you have just had restored... Again everyone losing time with it. So before starting to fill them, please check they are actually needed and for a non already existing painting. Thanks. Nono314 (talk) 17:54, 27 August 2025 (UTC)

MisterSynergy I am done with those. Nono314, thanks for heads up, and I did find another duplicate. --Jarekt (talk) 01:24, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

@Jarekt: I have cleaned up Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Creator/William-Adolphe Bouguereau from all of Bukk's duplicates since yesterday evening, and it was a real bloodbath ([5]). Imagine my despondency when no later than this morning, another duplicate was needlessly recreated! I'm speaking of Q134563007. Bukk's contribution to the Wikidata project is completely worthless and he should not be allowed to create files altogether.--Edelseider (talk) 07:34, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Edelseider, that is partially my fault, as I did search for duplicates of that file, but I did not find Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Creator/William-Adolphe Bouguereau. --Jarekt (talk) 13:52, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

@Bukk:, based of assessment of Edelseider, Nono314 and my own trouble with a clean up of c:Category:Artworks with Wikidata item missing image with 100's of links to deleted items, can you stop creating new artwork related items? Your error rate is just too high and you are creating a lot of work for others. Please continue with adding more properties to existing items or linking Commons files to existing items. --Jarekt (talk) 13:52, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

MisterSynergy, lets keep the rest of the list, deleted and I will remove the links to them from commons. --Jarekt (talk) 13:53, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Ok —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:25, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

Undeletion request for brands listed in Name Suggestion Index

These items were deleted because of "notability criteria" by @MisterSynergy. For unknown reasons, they were not discussed:

Q124048681, Q124374180, Q124374212, Q124374249, Q124374289, Q124374322, Q124374392, Q124374469, Q124374511

However, these items were used by Name Suggestion Index, an OpenStreetMap project listing brands to help OSM editors adding brands, and the delections caused issues for the project. I therefor believe these items satisfies N2 for all of them because OSM Name Suggestion Index ID (Property:P8253) is Wikidata property for an identifier that suggests notability: Q62589316.

If you need other information, let me know, thanks. Saimmx (talk) 15:52, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

• Item deletion does not require a discussion or notification. If an item page does not meet the notability criteria, it qualifies for immediate deletion. We do not have the capacity as a community to discuss these cases individually as hundreds of items per day are being deleted this way.
• None of the items had a P8253 identifier. Please add them in order to indicate notability. Admins are otherwise unable to spot the usage in OSM.
• I have restored these items.

—MisterSynergy (talk) 18:32, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

• Okay, I see the point of deletion with no discussion, I found "This item was deleted by... for "some reason". Previous discussions about this item include..." on Wikidata:Guide to requests for undeletion#How to request undeletion somewhat misleading after reading your explaintion.
• I guess the "P8253" identifier was not there because the brands were added in pull request (PR, a term on Github, pretty much like what "edit request" is on Wikipedia) process before it can be merged (a term on Github, you can see it as "accepted on NSI"). Take "Holy Greens" (Q124048681) for example, it was created on 30 December 2023 (2023-12-30), but it was only merged on 25 May 2024 (2024-05-25), and the item itself was deleted on 14 January 2024 (2024-01-14), thus the issues. Since all brands must have its entries on Wikidata, many of them created the brand on Wikidata before their pull request was accepted
• I have added their P8253 now, anyways. Thank you for your kind cooperation.

It has been an empty item for more than a week, seemingly abandoned after creation. We have plenty of these cases and usually delete them after some days. (The same applies to the item in context above.) —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:52, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Modification of code

Hello MisterSynergy, a few months ago you gave me this code for showing footballers that don't exist on srwiki. Is it possible to modify this code so it shows people with other occupation? I suppose that the entities in 4th row have to be changed. — SimplyFreddie (talk) 10:33, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Sure. Q937857 is the item for association football player (Q937857) and you can just replace it in the query with any other occupation Q-ID. —MisterSynergy (talk) 11:26, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much! — SimplyFreddie (talk) 12:20, 12 October 2025 (UTC)

Problem with RecentDeaths reports

Hi !

There seems to be a problem with Wikidata:Database reports/Deaths at Wikipedia... the DeltaBot begins in 1941, and then stops after 1947 or 1948... years beginning in 1950 have not been updated since 21 september, which is almost a month...

Can you try and see what stops the bot, please ? I've begun updating the items on those reports, and a lot of them should be much shorter :)

Thanks for your help on this. Hsarrazin (talk) 17:26, 16 October 2025 (UTC)

The job fails because the query for the 1948 report is empty, apparently. This is not a condition the bot has seen before …

Will fix it when I have time. The script is rather old and not well structured, unfortunately. Thanks for the report! —MisterSynergy (talk) 14:57, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

Well, I remember PLBot giving an "empty" report sometimes, but... Thanks for your help on this, and for having taken of this work...

I will be cautious, for a time, to always leave at least 1 item on the years I work on :) Hsarrazin (talk) 05:06, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I am aware that the bot can produce empty reports. In fact, the 1947 report has recently been empty, but it crashed at the 1948 report due to a somewhat different situation it found itself in. Anyways, the 1948 report is not empty anymore, so for the moment the situation should be fairly acceptable again, right? —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:21, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

yes ! but if I empty the list of deaths in a year (which is the aim of the tool), there is risk that it will happen again at next update, on 1948 or any other year...

in fact, the bot crashed after updating empty 1947, a week before my message about 1948... - the symptom seems to be the same : the bot empties the report, then updates it a second time... is it because after stopping, it tries again ?

Please tell me if I should be cautious and avoid the situation for some time :) Hsarrazin (talk) 08:10, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Obviously, I need to NOT empty reports - i.e. leave at least 1 item without completing P570 -, since, yesterday, the bot stopped after updating Wikidata:Database_reports/Deaths_at_Wikipedia/1946 (empty) - my watchlist shows it updating 1941, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46... and nothing after that :(

I worry that other years later, could encounter the same problem, sorry ... Hsarrazin (talk) 09:20, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

Undeletion requests

When merging items recently I found that several items had been deleted after Wikidata:Project chat/Archive/2021/04#Upcoming deletion of 5500+ non-existing villages on enwiki but still have articles in other languages connected to items with no statements, which I would like to merge to them: Q4841651, Q4860027, Q4940965, Q17062682, Q6445857, Q6784571, Q6934009, Q17078281, Q7423696, Q7421464, Q7682345 and Q7825841. Could you please restore these items?

Also when checking National Heritage List for England number (P1216) for IDs that had been removed from Wikidata I found Q26600900 had been deleted, but it should have had P1216 and heritage designation (P1435) - could you also restore that item (or a version of it with those properties)? Peter James (talk) 12:07, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

all  Done —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:24, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Thanks; now all merged (and Q26600900 reverted - the vandalism was part of a series of similar edits to items with "block" in the label, others were already reverted). Peter James (talk) 22:33, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Q130946534

Q130946534 meets Wikidata’s notability criterion #2 (significant references) and/or #3 (structural need), even though the associated Wikipedia article was deleted. Please kindly help to restore it. I will add more references and more information to comply with Wikidata Notability policy 2603:8000:CF01:6A19:25F6:FD30:BDCC:1621 21:48, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Is this still related to the request by User:Peter_James? —MisterSynergy (talk) 21:55, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Unlikely, based on the label, Wikidata:Requests for deletions/Archive/2025/06/21#Q131698950 and User talk:Ameisenigel#Deleted Page Q131698950; I've made this a new section. Peter James (talk) 22:33, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Okay thanks.
The other deleted item about the person besides Q130946534, Q131698950, looks like a blatantly promotional entry; however, there is nothing that implies notability at first sight. Do we have any independent external sources that describe the person, besides all the promotion that I can find in Q131698950? —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:59, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Q135486040 and Q135458620

Hello,

I am verifying that all our data is complete for our data set and came across this one which has been deleted. Could you restore it and elaborate as of why it was deleted? We were new with this back in August and have been working for 3 different people on these so I am not sure I can check what information was added, some costing hours of research. If I am unable to comply to the requirements, I will then request a deletion, but I first need to verify what it contained.

Thank you! MMunozEur (talk) 13:58, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

restored. please add references for the claims, as these items currently do not meet the notability policy. —MisterSynergy (talk) 21:34, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

Thank you so much! I updated the entries now :) MMunozEur (talk) 12:22, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Zugang zu Wikidata/Benutzeroberfläche

Hallo MisterSynergy, ich habe inzwischen 30000 Bearbeitungen auf Wikidata überschritten und kann nicht weiter mitarbeiten. Ich bin zwar nicht offiziell gesperrt, aber praktisch schon, denn ich kann - außer dem Namen und der dazugehörigen Beschreibung eines existierenden Objekts - nichts editieren. Meine letzten normalen Bearbeitungen waren am 5. November 2025. Seit dem nächsten Besuch auf Wikidata bekomme ich eine neue Benutzeroberfläche. Es ist nicht generell. Bei einem Wikipedia-Editierworkshop in Stuttgart konnte ich mich überzeugen, dass andere Teilnehmer die gewohnte Benutzeroberfläche haben und wie früher editieren können. Ich fand die Einstellungen und versuchte die alte Oberfläche einzustellen. Das bringt nichts, denn egal, was für Einstellungen ich wähle, die Oberfläche bleibt gleich. Unabhängig davon, dass sie sich nicht editieren lässt, finde ich sie in jeder Hinsicht schlechter, weil alle Werkzeuge versteckt sind. Dadurch ist das editieren aufwendiger. Außerdem ist sie unübersichtlicher. Wenn ich Oberfläche dieser Art vorgefunden hätte, als ich Anfänger in Wikimedia-Projekten war, hätte ich mich nie damit weitet beschäftigt. Jetzt kann ich nicht mal neue Commons-Kategorien oder Creator-Vorlagen mit den existierenden Objekten verknüpfen, abgesehen davon, dass ich auch keine neuen Objekte anlegen kann. Mein Wunsch ist, die alte Oberflächer wiederherzustellen - aber wie? Hast du irgendwelche Möglichkeiten dazu? Mewa767 (talk) 23:06, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Schwer zu sagen, so aus der Ferne. Welcher Skin ist unter Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering aktiviert? Ich nehme an, dass Du Dir "Vector legacy (2010)" wünscht, aber etwas anderes eingestellt ist? —MisterSynergy (talk) 00:30, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Deine Annahme über "Vector legacy (2010)" ist richtig. Ich habe das noch einmal so eingestellt, aber - wie ich schon geschrieben habe - obwohl die Änderung gespeichert wird, ändert sich die Benutzeroberfläche nicht. Ich bin verzweifelt. Hast Du vielleicht noch eine Idee? Mewa767 (talk) 23:12, 30 November 2025 (UTC)

Ich weiß leider nicht exakt, was Du siehst und was Du stattdessen sehen möchtest. Bestenfalls eine Idee habe ich.

Die Ursache kann an verschiedensten Stellen zu suchen sein. Falsche Einstellung in den Wikidata-Settings, falsche Einstellung im Wikimedia-Konto, falsche Einstellung in irgendeinem benutzerspezifischen Skript, falsche Einstellung im Browser, falsche Einstellung im Betriebssystem. Von vorn nach hinten wird das unwahrscheinlicher, aber grundsätzlich möglich ist ziemlich vieles. Tut mir Leid.

Falls Du die Möglichkeit hast, Dich mit anderen Wikipedianern zu treffen, dann frag doch mal nach ob Dir dort jemand helfen kann. Viele Grüße! MisterSynergy (talk) 00:06, 1 December 2025 (UTC)

Hallo Mister Synergy,

kurz nach unserer letzten Korrespondenz hatte ich einen Unfall und war im Krankenhaus. Kurz vor Heilig Abend habe ich mich wieder in Wikidata eingeloggt und ohne dass ich etwas geändert hätte, war alles in der Oberfläche so wie früher, also ich kann wieder mitmachen. Das, was ich beschrieben habe, hört sich so an, als ob ich nicht voll bei Sinnen wäre. Ich kann dir aber versichern, dass ich die ganze Zeit voll bei Sinnen war. Einige Teilnehmer des Wikipedia-Editierworkshops in Stuttgart Mitte November haben es gesehen und die Vorschläge, die sie hatten, um diesen Missstand zu beenden, deckten sich mit meinen überein und waren nicht wirksam. Jetzt ist das vorbei und man könnte so tun, als ob es nicht gewesen wäre. Ich hoffe, dass Du manchmal Gelegenheit hast - vielleicht nicht direkt - sich mit Verantwortlichen aus den den USA auszutauschen und diese Sache anzusprechen. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass es ein zum Glück zur Zeit zurückgenommener Versuch war, die Wikidata-Oberfläche zu "modernisieren". Wenn sie etwas in Wikidata unbedingt "modernisieren" wollen, dann sollten die Modernisierungen niemals als Grundeinstellung gelten. Außerdem sollten diese Leute nicht so experimentieren, dass sie manchen Benutzern etwas neues zuschalten.

Ich wünsche Dir und mir, dass so etwas in dem in Kürze beginnenden Jahr 2026 nicht wieder vorkommt und grüße Dich ganz herzlich Mewa767 (talk) 19:23, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

Undeletion of Q137460371 (BOSS Solutions) - Industry Recognition Evidence

Thank you for the clarification. I understand that government contracts alone do not equal notability.

However, the entity HAS received significant **independent third-party coverage** and industry recognition, specifically in major market reports (Gartner Digital Markets / Capterra).

The company is consistently ranked in independent "Best of" lists based on proprietary market analysis (not paid placements):

1. **Capterra Shortlist 2024 & 2025 (ITSM & Asset Management):**

  The entity is listed in the top tier ("Shortlist") of the market, which requires meeting strict independent criteria for reviews and market presence.
  * *Evidence:* [7] (Listed as "BOSSDesk")
  * *Evidence:* [8]

2. **Gartner Digital Markets "FrontRunner" recognition:**

  Referenced in multiple industry aggregators as a top-rated solution.

This combination of **Government Usage** (previously provided .gov link) + **Industry Recognition** (Capterra/Gartner Shortlists) confirms it meets the "Notability (Software)" criteria.

Please reconsider based on this industry ranking evidence. I simply want to create a compliant, neutral item. Tristan788 (talk) 17:59, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Capterra is a marketing platform; typically, entries are more visible on such websites the more money is paid. This is not independent third-party coverage; it is pretty much the exact opposite of what we are looking for in terms of Wikidata notabiliy. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:36, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026

Hello! I noticed you're a bot operator, so I thought you might be interested in a hackathon we're organizing: the Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026, on 13–14 March in Arnhem, Netherlands.

It's a two-day, technically oriented hackathon bringing together Wikimedians from the region. Whether you want to work on bot frameworks, tools, or other technical projects, this could be a great opportunity to collaborate with fellow developers. Registration closes mid-January or when full. Let me know if there are any questions. Hope to see you there! Daanvr (talk) 09:13, 12 January 2026 (UTC)

Hallo, vi:Tư trị thông giám trường biên sollte auf Q843855 hinzugefügt werden.

RecentDeaths reports really problematic

Hi,

The fact that DeltaBot stops if a report is found empty, without continuing on other years is quite problematic : on February 1st, the very first report (1941) was found empty, which means that no other report was updated at all... some haven't been updated at all for a month...

do you think it would be possible to modify the task, to tell the bot to go to the next year if one report is empty, so that it will finish the task on more recent years ?

Thank you for your help on this :) Hsarrazin (talk) 12:03, 10 February 2026 (UTC)

I made a change to the code, so that it is now more resilient against crashes. The problem was not actually that there could be empty reports, but much more that the petscan tool which is queried in the background sometimes refuses to answer properly. I also triggered an additional run of the job, and most or all pages including the ones for recent years received an update. —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:24, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you VERY much !!! :D Hsarrazin (talk) 15:07, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the report. There was an issue with query timeouts. I have updated the script, and a all reports have been updated. —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:09, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

Sitelink removed as non-existing, but it does exist

Hi! What happened here? b:ar:ويكي كتب:حول has indeed been deleted in June 2008, but it was recreated a month later, and – as far as I understand the page history – has continuously existed since then, so your bot had no reason to remove the sitelink. Maybe the bot got rate-limited, and took the 429 response for a 404? I’ve reverted this edit, but please check if there’s a bug in the code. Thanks in advance! —Tacsipacsi (talk) 08:39, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Per phab:T416779, they have recently changed the project namespace prefix for arwikibooks, but this was not visible to the bot when it removed the sitelink (i.e. the page appeared to be non-existent). Meanwhile everything is fine again as the old namespace prefix now properly redirects to the current one, and in fact my bot did tidy up the sitelink earlier today [10]. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:56, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

Please assist on object Q4065513

Hallo @MisterSynergy :)! Please assist for the recently suspended eponymous object Pavel Q4065513 created in context of disambiguation as stated on the eponymous disambiguation page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4065513 in Bulgarian under:

"Also known as: Pavel Andreev PavelAndreev.ORG"

The eponymous person "Pavel Andreev" from Bulgaria is a different person from the English supposed-to-be "Pawel Andrejew" and different person from the heavily mistaken "Pavel Andreev" "head of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation (CEC)" (terribly different person).

The eponymous person "Pavel Andreev" from Bulgaria is a founder of an eponymous Foundation "Pavel Andreev" which as an entity focused on campaigns for medical treatment (mainly cancer) mostly (but not limited) for children.

I hope the terrible disparity in what these people do will make sense to you. There have been cases where due the raging geopolitical conflicts and sanctions, financial institutions mistakenly froze financial transfer on treatment expenses along additional checks on identity. This is the worst of outcomes of ambiguity of the wrong person. There are quite a few other far less critical ambiguity occurrences of confusion with "Pavel Andreev" astrology professional (different person), a few notable "Pavel Andreev" sportsmen and historic figures, that are also present and documented on Wiki projects.

Wikidata:Notability support and Wikidata object argument wis in favor of Q4065513 restoration, there is grounds:

• for disambiguation as per page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4065513, which I hope, for you also does comply as a "structural need to make statements made in other items more useful"
• being a "clearly identifiable entity described using serious and publicly available references" - where there is tons of national and state level media references (Bulgaria, Macedonia) on ongoing and/or successful medical campaigns by the Bulgarian "Pavel Andreev" that could be provided to you upon request for absolutely clarification.

Thank you!

Q4065513 is not deleted, and it never was. Which item page do we talk about? —MisterSynergy (talk) 17:36, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Based on what I am seeing on the deleted item page, this entity does not pass the notability criteria at this point. Do we have independent serious sources? —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:04, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

You may be an eligible candidate for the U4C election

Greetings,

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) seeks candidates for the 2026 election. The U4C is the global committee responsible for overseeing enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct. Elections are held annually, if elected a committee member serves for two years.

This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates. You can find more information in the call for candidates on Meta-wiki. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.

The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will be a week in between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in SecurePoll, successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on the 2026 Elections page, including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

Re-creation of Avinash Chate (Q139660798) with substantive references

Hello, I have created a new item Q139660798 for Avinash Chate, an Indian motivational speaker, corporate trainer, and author. I am aware that you previously deleted a bare-label item Q120489629 on 28 February 2025 for not meeting the notability policy.

The new item is substantively different from the deleted one: it ships on creation with 11 statements (P31, P21, P27, P735, P106 x 3, plus four external IDs P2003 / P2013 / P2397 / P6634) and 8 references to independent national press, including:

• Lokmat Mumbai 2023 (Marathi biographical feature)
• Lokmat Ahilyanagar (Marathi profile)
• BW Businessworld (Educationist of the Year award report)
• New Indian Express 2022 (entrepreneur profile)
• Financial Express (business profile)

Deccan Chronicle 2026 (Mumbai Port Authority keynote coverage) and Silicon India (Vascon Engineers collaboration) are additional independent sources I can add as needed.

I would appreciate it if you could review the item rather than apply CSD G4. The subject is the same person (a corporate trainer/author based in Maharashtra, India), but the new item demonstrates clear notability per WD:N section 2 with multiple structurally-encoded independent references.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have a conflict of interest: my username matches the subject. I am happy to follow any guidance you have on COI handling. Skipped fields: P19 place of birth (sources contradict between Kalamb per Lokmat and Latur per the subject's own statement, so omitted to avoid a citation mismatch); P166 awards (the named awards do not have Wikidata items); P856 official website (will add once an unrelated Cloudflare routing issue affecting site speed is resolved).

Fikri Berber (Q118928537)

Hello, Fikri Berber played in Arhavi Voleybol SK in the 2019-20 season. In that season, his team was in Efeler Ligi, the highest league for volleyball teams in Turkey. His name is mentioned in sources. Even though he is not notable for Wikipedia, I think he might be notable for Wikidata. Could you consider restoring the Wikidata item? Kolhisli (talk) 11:29, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Restored. Please expand the item and add references to serious sources. —MisterSynergy (talk) 16:50, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Recentdeaths update, please

Hi, Some of the recentdeaths reports haven't been updated for over a month. Could you please try to update the whole pack, please ? there are a lot of new items, and a lot of solved ones.

Thank you very much :) Hsarrazin (talk) 20:36, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

The server infrastructure has issues since mid March (phab:T421642) which often causes bots to stop editing. Additionally, there are difficulties with WDQS operation which emerged more recently (phab:T425758 and phab:T425861) due to which the query service is not continuously available. Longer running jobs such as this one are particularly affected. I can't do much here but to wait for the servers to be fixed, unfortunately. —MisterSynergy (talk) 21:25, 11 May 2026 (UTC)

ah :( - sorry for this. I noticed I often had "server lags" message when updating items (i.e. clicking on a date to add to the idem), which seemed strange on a single edit (sometimes blocked for hours). Didn't know it was a widespread problem.

Let's hope that a solution will be found. Thanks anyway... Hsarrazin (talk) 06:30, 12 May 2026 (UTC)

Q138857209?

@MisterSynergy: I find the process for deleting Wikidata items very disconcerting, because there currently seems not to be any way to know if the item deleted is used in another Wiki (or even know what was deleted without a comment from the administrator). Items in Wikimedia Commons include a section on "File usage on other wikis".

Can you change the deletion process to at least send a "scheduled for deletion" notice to the creator and to users "watching" a Wikidata item saying that the item is being considered for deletion and giving them ~3 days to fix the perceived problem or accept the deletion?

Wikipedia has developed a more user-friendly deletion process. I got a notice 2026-05-13 that the Wikipedia article w:Mark Maassen had been "nominated for deletion". I was invited to comment, and I suggested it be merged with another article. I just now got a notice saying that was the consensus.

In this particular case, I was helped by 'Editor's summary: Empty item: content was: "Address to a Joint Session of Congress and the American People"'. I have a vague memory of having created that item before finding it in Wikisource. I probably used the Wikisource item and abandoned this Wikidata item. However, without the detailed "Editor's summary", I would have been upset and asked what was deleted; I remember having done that in the past.

AND I could use "File usage on other wikis" for other purposes if Wikidata had it.

Thanks for your contribution to w:Wikipedia:Prime objective to create "a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge." DavidMCEddy (talk) 12:52, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Hey User:DavidMCEddy, a notification scheme prior deletion has been discussed several times, but we never found a feasible solution to this situation and there is not even clear consensus that this would be helpful. Independent of that, we are constantly running at 400-800 deletions per day on average, most of that is done by a small group of administrators (order of 10). We simply do not even remotely have capacity to moderate each of these deletions individually.

You can check usage, e.g. for Q42:

• Special:WhatLinksHere/Q42 for usage from within Wikidata
• Page information#Page properties, for links to usage within Wikipedia projects (data usage in template, modules, etc).
• WCQS, usage within Wikimedia Commons Structured data

Items are not supposed to be deleted when there is external usage in Wikimedia projects, although it sometimes happens that we miss such usage. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:05, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Updates on Main page/Popular

Hi! Msynbot has been repeatedly adding in the fantasy creations of a LTA spammer and its sockpuppets to this page. Is there any way to prevent this? I tried deleting the link to the item in question, but of course it was reinserted once the bot updated the page. I don't feel we should be giving this spammer any recognition, particularly since the only reason that item would be popular is because so many of us have to continually combat their massive cross-wiki spam campaigns, run checkuser investigations on the new sockpuppets, and request deletion of the new spam that pops up every few days. Could the bot perhaps remove any items that appear in requests for deletions from its updates? - Yupik (talk) 14:27, 23 May 2026 (UTC)

I am looking into it. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:54, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Q139736861 (Forms Legal) deletion — planned recreation with full content, asking review

Hi MisterSynergy,

Thank you for keeping Wikidata clean. You deleted Q139736861 on 2026-05-20 because it was an empty item (label-only "Forms Legal", 0 statements) — entirely correct call.

I'm the operator of forms-legal.com, a free multilingual legal-document template platform. I openly disclose my COI on my user page. I'd like to recreate the item, this time with the substantive content it should have had from the start. Before submitting, I'd appreciate your quick sanity-check on the planned scope, since you're the deleting admin.

Planned approach — two linked items (per WD:N criterion 2 “clearly identifiable entity describable using serious and publicly available references”):

1. A dataset item for the Hugging Face corpus we publish (CC-BY-4.0, 17,952 rows, 7 languages, 25 jurisdictions — link). ~24 statements: P31=Q1172284 (dataset), P275=Q20007257 (CC-BY-4.0), P407×5 (languages), P364×5, P276=Q34679786 (HF), P973, P953, P2701, P571, P1813, P276; every claim referenced to the HF page.
2. The forms-legal.com item itself, with P127 pointing to the dataset item (giving it structural-need armour). ~32 statements: P31=Q35127 (website) + Q1668024 (online service) + Q1058914 (legal technology), P856, P407×7, P571, P136, P12201 (HF user), P1324 (GitHub), P973×6 (transparency pages: /editorial-guidelines, /ethics, /corrections, /datasets/legal-templates, /llms.txt, GitHub repo), P3563 (API endpoint); every claim referenced to publicly verifiable URLs on HF, GitHub, or the site’s transparency pages.

Sources I'd cite (all click-verifiable, no fabrication):

• https://huggingface.co/datasets/Anyone5559/legal-templates-multilingual
• https://github.com/0n17work-gif/awesome-legal-document-templates
• https://github.com/0n17work-gif/forms-legal
• https://forms-legal.com/editorial-guidelines
• https://forms-legal.com/datasets/legal-templates
• https://forms-legal.com/about/legal-team

I'd skip Person/founder claims for now (no Q-item for the founder, and per WD:NP a non-notable person string would only invite scrutiny). I'd also skip social-ID claims for accounts that don't exist (no Twitter/Trustpilot/Crunchbase fabrication).

If any of this looks borderline to you (notability, claim choices, reference quality) — happy to revise before I submit. If it looks fine, I'll submit via QuickStatements in a day or two and watchlist both items.

Thank you for your time. Forms-legalcom (talk) 23:23, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

It is unclear to me whether there is any independent (from you) perception of this business. If there is none, you are going to find it difficult to place an item here. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:53, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Asking to restore removed items

Hi, you have recently removed item Q138952882 (Volta), citing the notability policy as the reason. As I understand it, the 2nd critrion applies: as long as the the item "can be described" (irrespective of its current state) then it is notable (see e.g. the website, and the first news article that showed up from an online search). Note also that it is heavily used in OSM with operator:wikidata (check https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/operator:wikidata=Q138952882).

The reason why I'm interceding on behalf of the user who created the item (a fellow OSMer), is they were discouraged from further contributing to Wikidata and Commons due to other similar admin actions. I will link to other removed Wikidata items next, and request for them to be restored, for similar reasons: they are notable (as explained above, from my understanding), and they are heavily used in OSM. The following are no longer used in OSM with brand:wikidata only because they have been removed from Wikidata.

• Q135275389 (EDP Charge): https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/brand=edp%20Charge

(There may be others, I'll add them later if I find more)

Thanks. O andras (talk) 12:09, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

In order to comply with the notability policy, there must be evidence on the item page in form of external references or identifiers. The current state of a page is in fact important. The deletion workflow does not include any research for possible sources external to Wikimedia projects.

For OSM, we have established OSM Name Suggestion Index ID (P8253) a long time ago. Is there any possibility to add such an identifier to the items in question? — MisterSynergy (talk) 15:38, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the clarification.

I've now created a pull request to add Volta to the OpenStreetMap Name Suggestion Index (NSI). Once it is merged, it will be possible to add the OSM Name Suggestion Index ID (P8253) to the Wikidata item, which should help satisfy this requirement.

Hopefully this will make restoring the item straightforward. Thanks again for your guidance. Thomraider12 (talk) 13:26, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Yes it would. Please report back once you have this identifier available. —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:10, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

I have it now available: volta-416028 Thomraider12 (talk) 09:56, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, just checking if you've had a chance to look at this. Since the OSM Name Suggestion Index ID is now available (volta-416028), would you be able to restore the item? Thanks! Thomraider12 (talk) 16:53, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, I was offline for more than a week.

The item is restored. Please add the identifier to the item. —MisterSynergy (talk) 14:19, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! And also the identifier has been added. Thomraider12 (talk) 21:18, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

harvesttemplates

Hi, following Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2026/04#Looking_for_co-maintainers_for_Pasleim’s_Javascript_tools, could you please add me and Sjoerddebruin as comaintainers to the tools?

I think the steps for doing so:

1. Go to https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools (login in the top-right)
2. Under "Yours tools" pick the relevant tool(s) (I'm particularly interesting in plnode, to solve issue with harvesttemplates tool)
3. Under "Manage maintainers" you can add additional maintainers (my user there - Eranroz)

Thanks! Eran (talk) 10:00, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for following up, I kinda lost sight of this tool after posting on the project chat. User:Sjoerddebruin, are you still interested? We are talking about shared maintainership for plnode and pltools with User:ערן (Eran).

I would keep myself out of the development for these tools, and hand over decisions to new maintainer(s) completely. Javascript and frontend as required for these tools is just not within my interest. —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:52, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

User:ערן, I have now added you as maintainer to the tools plnode and pltools. Have a look at what you find in there, and in case you miss anything lets see where we can find stuff. It's a bit messy, for sure. —MisterSynergy (talk) 23:10, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Sorry, I was on holiday. I'm still interested as well. @ערן, any preferred communication method? Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 08:50, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

What's your developer account on Toolforge? Can't find you over there … —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:01, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Ah right, requested one! Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 07:23, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

And update here? —MisterSynergy (talk) 21:20, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

I'm OK with talk pages or email. The first change I plan to apply is https://github.com/Pascalco/PLnode/pull/13 which suppose to fix the categories usage in harvesttemplates tools, and everyone welcome to review it. (planning to deploy it next week if no issues). Eran (talk) 14:45, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

@Sjoerddebruin, ערן: might not be the best place to continue talking about this, but btw, Magnus did publish a rewrite of the original tool. probably can redirect harvesttemplates to the new home at some point. Edgars2007 (talk) 15:18, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. I updated the old tool to redirect to the new one. The old one is partially accessible in https://pltools.toolforge.org/harvesttemplates_bkup_oct_26/ Eran (talk) 15:47, 17 October 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for your work to patrol spam content: heads-up for Wikiproject IDEA Work in Progress

@MisterSynergy thanks for your work to patrol Wiki content for high-quality, well-referenced and reusable content. Just want to give you a heads up about the evolving nature of content related to the IDEA project. Wikiproject IDEA is a persisting (and growing) community of (multilingual/multicultural/multidisciplinary) editors. We are conscientiously mobilizing and extending existing FAIR data related to the key archaeological site of Dura-Europos (Syria) as a point of intercultural, interdisciplinary, and cross-institutional point of overlap, aimed at sensitively recalibrating the "digital footprint" of a site where local perspectives have been effectively written out of the official narrative (see: linguistic and disciplinary blindspots). IDEA's vision is that successive groups of editors pick up where previous groups left off, thus building in a sort of traceable digtial lineage and extending granular detail for cross-cultural/cross-linguistic feedback all anchored to verifiable source documentation. We are open to community feebdback. You have deleted one of the items we were working on building out: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q139742146&action=edit&redlink=1; can you please restore it? Ahc84 (talk) 23:16, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Q140322432 (Alleantia Core) — undeletion request with sources

Hello MisterSynergy,

I noticed that item Q140322432 (Alleantia Core) was recently deleted for "Does not meet the notability policy".

I found several independent third-party sources that appear to support notability for this subject:

• Hannover Messe 2026 — dedicated product page:

https://www.hannovermesse.de/product/alleantia-core/517425/N1614973

• Gartner — "Market Guide for Industrial IoT Gateways" (August 2018)

and "Hype Cycle for Edge Computing" (July 2024)

• ABI Research — "Hot Tech Innovators"

• Industria Italiana (independent press):

https://www.industriaitaliana.it/alleantia-software-ag-iiot-analytics-dati/

• SMAU Premio Innovazione 2018:

https://www.smau.it/news/premio-innovazione-smau-tutti-i-vincitori

Would you be willing to reconsider the deletion in light of these sources?

Thank you. Archilocos (talk) 12:08, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

This is not sufficient. hannovermesse is not independent content, industriaitaliana is not translatable for me (and thus I cannot assess it), and the smau website just barely drops their name once. Is there independent, organic content about this company available that is not just outright promotional? —MisterSynergy (talk) 17:58, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Request to restore Q140088101

Hi, can you restore item Q140088101 (Acorn SchoolServer)? My bad for losing track of the item and leaving it empty, but I can quickly I can bring it in line with other Acorn Computer models, which was the goal from the beginning. HelloImSteven (talk) 15:27, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Do you have any sources available for this item? —MisterSynergy (talk) 17:49, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes:

There is an exhibit for it at The Centre for Computing History, and their archive of Chris's Acorns provides some documentation on it:

- https://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/docs/Acorn/Brochures/Acorn_APP873_SchoolServer.pdf

- https://chrisacorns.computinghistory.org.uk/docs/Acorn/Brochures/Acorn_APP859_AUN.pdf

It's also described in the RISC OS Archive, the 4corn Archive, and in archived Usenet posts.

It has various mentions in the Acorn User (Q4674565) magazine, e.g. regarding the model's PowerPC base and regarding relationship with IBM. Those are published by Acorn Computers itself. The only third-party news report I've found so far is a Computerwoche article on the SchooLServer's announcement, but there are likely others in non-indexed archives.

Demande de restauration

Cher collègue,

Pourriez-vous s'il vous plaît restaurer Q130375251 ? C'est le même sujet que Q130375253, donc j'aimerais pouvoir fusionner les deux éléments.

Bien à vous, Maime 18:16, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Idem pour Q117324432 (doublon de Q130474618). Maime 18:18, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

... Et pour Q131861860 (doublon de Q131861858), Q134595337 (doublon de Q136281902), et Q136283213 (doublon de Q136283213). Maime 18:20, 3 July 2026 (UTC)

Not done. These items did never have a proper definition (no claims), thus it is not necessary to restore anything here. (If you need redirects, use Special:MergeItems without restored items.) —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:11, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Mais pourquoi un libellé (voire une description) ne suffirait-il pas à leur donner une définition propre ? Et par ailleurs, plutôt que de supprimer ces éléments, pourquoi ne pas m'avoir adressé d'abord un message m'invitant à les compléter sur ma page de discussion (puisqu'à l'évidence, il s'agit d'oublis de ma part) ? Maime 22:20, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

A label only is usually not sufficient to unambiguosly distinguish an entity from others. If you know that there are "duplicates", you can merge them even without restored items. The software just creates a redirect, and the items were empty (aside from one label) anyways.

Also, I am typically deleting more than 1000 items per week, among them are plenty of abandoned items created by experienced editors. Barely anyone asks what is going on, since these are usually mistakenly created items anyways. —MisterSynergy (talk) 15:20, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Entendu, merci pour ces précisions. Dernière question : il n'y avait donc aucune description dans les éléments supprimés ? Maime 15:37, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Q130375251, Q131861860, Q134595337, Q136281902 only contain a name but no description. Q117324432 ("Guillaume Tahar") does contain some data, but unlike stated by you, it is not a duplicate of Q130474618 and it was also not deleted by me. —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:26, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Restoration

Hi. Can you restore items Q112994518 and Q4461960? First one is the son of Q2386307, second is a grandson of Q4104688. Both has have additional sources. I`ll expand the items if they were empty. Pegas24 (talk) 15:09, 4 July 2026 (UTC)

Family relationships alone are not sufficient to claim notability. Is there anything about these people that make them notable regardless of their family relationships? —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:12, 5 July 2026 (UTC)

Close family connection to someone undeniebly notable is enough to fulfill P. 3 "structural need". See Q42 Douglas Adams and the discussion over it. But okay, besides that Andrey Klykov (first one) was a sculptor. He has an article on Kursk encyclopedia, has media coverage. Also reports of his death appeared in many federal level sources Ren TV as example.
Trannua ia a writer. He can be found on the publishers' websites: 1, 2 etc. I`m not sure but it looks enough for WD:N P. 2 for me. Pegas24 (talk) 07:49, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Both restored, based on the references. Family relationships are not sufficient, and beyond notability, there are also privacy-related reasons not to include items for family members. —MisterSynergy (talk) 15:22, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Can you clarify it please? Because based on what I can see, genealogical items are pretty normal for Wikidata. But user-generated sources like Wikitree or Geni.com can`t be used to show notability they can only provide data for already notable items (notable by P.3 as I understand it). Are you telling me all these items imported from Geni are "illegal"? Why Joe Biden has all 16 of his great-great-grandparents here but son of Vyacheslav Klykov can`t be freely created?

Q140214232

Hi,

how did the wikidata entry Q140214232 that you deleted not meet notability guidelines? The line of gas stations is clearly a unique material entity that can be described through at least two public and serious sources, which fulfills notability requirement number 2.

thanks, Maninacoffin Maninacoffin (talk) 21:44, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

You need to demonstrate this by the inclusion of serious sources on the item page. It is miles away from meeting the criteria in the notability guidelines. Please demonstrate how which serious sources you would like to use to make this item notable. —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:08, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Ok, I understand.

Here are serious sources that confirm the existence of the Renner Petroleum line of gas stations:

Still quite vague, as the name of the brand is just dropped for very specific circumstances in three of the four sources, and the 2016 source is not very useful either.

About IRC

Hello

I read your response in WD:AN thread about creating a new private channel for admins. I read that you are active on IRC. I used IRC for several times, but keep forgetting the username I used and its password, and ended up changing my username for several times.

Do you have any tips on how to use them? Based on my last use, it did not store/archive messages if the browser are closed. So when I log in to them, its just a clean slate.

How to register for the admin channel? Where should I request access to admin IRC channel?

Thank you. Yamato Shiya • (Hello!) 13:18, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

I am rarely using IRC, but everything is set up in a Pidgin (Q71380) client so I do not have to remember anything. As much as I remember, I largely followed m:IRC for the cloak and stuff. Possibly I also have credentials saved in a password manager, but this is not really mission critical information to be honest.

There is not much going on in the #wikidata IRC channel, thus I am not there much. I have been in the #wikidata-admin channel in the past as well, but I cannot enter right now and I also do not know who could invite me there. If I wanted to get in, I would ask in the #wikidata channel. —MisterSynergy (talk) 14:35, 27 July 2026 (UTC)

Invitation: Users with Extended Rights conversations

Hi MisterSynergy,

I am not sure if you have seen it already but we are hosting sessions to better understand the workflows and issues of users with extended rights on Wikidata and it'd be great if you'd join. More details at Wikidata:Users with Extended Rights conversations 2026.

MsynBot on P227 lists

Hi! I have noticed that in the last days on Property talk:P227/Constraint violations/Single best value constraint (only humans) and Property talk:P227/Constraint violations/Single best value constraint (humans died before 1851) sometimes wrongly empties the list; it also happened rarely in the past, but in the last week it seems slightly more frequent. if the emptying is due to the impossibility of updating the list, I would suggest to just skip the day instead; anyway, it is not a big issue, but if you have time could you have a look? FYI @Kolja21:. Thanks very much as usual, --Epìdosis 09:43, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

This task does not have any logging, unfortunately, thus I need to guess a bit what is going on. After looking at the diffs, it seems that there are query server timeouts happening, as the query time is reported as 65-ish seconds in those cases.

I do not have time to spare right now for a fix. You can undo the bot edit if it helps for your daily work, it does not confuse the bot. —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:18, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

Undelete request for Q140834697 (Aranea Srl)

Hello MisterSynergy, could you please restore Q140834697 (Aranea Srl), deleted on 13 August 2026 for not meeting the notability policy?

Aranea Srl is a legally registered Italian company (Registro Imprese di Piacenza, REA PC 191905), operating an interior design and furniture showroom in Piacenza. It is also covered by an independent editorial source: PiacenzaSera.it, "ArchiTalks: il design piacentino narrato dai professionisti del territorio" (24 September 2025) — https://www.piacenzasera.it/2025/09/architalks-il-design-piacentino-narrato-dai-professionisti-del-territorio/611283/

I will add both sources as references to the relevant statements (P31, P571, P159) immediately upon restoration.

Thank you for your time. AraneaSrl (talk) 09:40, 27 August 2026 (UTC)

Q140834697 seems to be a purely promotional item, and the sources you mentioned are not useful to corroborate notability and therefore inclusion. —MisterSynergy (talk) 12:48, 29 August 2026 (UTC)

Q140800240 (Shoukri Kattan) - deleted as an empty stub, asking before re-creating

Hello. You deleted Q140800240 on 13 August 2026 as not meeting the notability policy. The item was a bare label with no statements, so the deletion was correct.

Disclosure: the item is about me. My COI is declared at User:Onlycto.

Before re-creating anything I would like your view on whether the subject now meets WD:N point 2. The sourced claims would be:

• Member of the board of directors of Quantum Secure Encryption Corp (CSE: QSE, formerly Scope Technologies Corp, CSE: SCPE), since 4 December 2024. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/scope-technologies-corp-announces-changes-to-board-of-directors-302322500.html and https://www.canadianmanufacturing.com/manufacturing/scope-technologies-changes-leadership-team-304929/
• Head of Artificial Intelligence at LiteLink Technologies (CSE: LLT, later TechX Technologies, now Mobilum Technologies, CSE: MBLM), from November 2018. https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2018/11/20/1654355/0/en/Former-Ericsson-Director-of-Technology-Shoukri-Kattan-Joins-LiteLink-as-Head-of-A-I.html
• Employer: Ericsson, and Telcocell (Q140796081), which is already linked to Ericsson via merged into (P7888).

If that is sufficient I will create the item complete with statements and references in a single edit, not as a label-only stub. If it is not, I will leave it alone.

Thanks. Onlycto (talk) 11:09, 1 September 2026 (UTC)

Q139469526

Hi MisterSynergy, i randomly found out that you deleted Q139469526. I am quite curious why this Item does not meet the notability policy. I'm a bit surprised because I regularly have many pages of spam deleted here that were untouched. However, this drone model is just one of many I've created. I've written articles about most of them. Could you please tell me, who requested the deletion of that item? Kind regards NDG (talk) 06:22, 2 September 2026 (UTC)

It does not contain any references or sources, and there are neither any sitelinks. Pretty clear decision in that condition. —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:10, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

I can't see it anymore, but there should have been an FCC ID. Now it is Impossible to create an article at dewiki e.g. NDG (talk) 19:22, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

de:DJI Agras T100 has existed, but was deleted. If you manage to permanently establish a Wikipedia article, undeletion would be easy.

Also there is a FCC Product Code (P7290) claim on the deleted item, but for some reason it is not considered an external identifier (look at the talk page of the property). Do we have anything else? —MisterSynergy (talk) 19:25, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

I've created around 50 articles about DJI drones and in the minute, the article ist published, a user will semi-automatically generate a new item. The deleted one was not created by me, it was clearly AI-generated and User:Mpns asked, if I wanted to adopt it. NDG (talk) 19:39, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Pan-Asia Deletion

Recreate notable nonprofit

Hey, you recently deleted this id: Q65161163 -- I am using that organization as part of a larger project, and will add sources to support the item, could you recreate it? Sadads (talk) 02:14, 24 September 2026 (UTC)

Please list some sources for screening here —MisterSynergy (talk) 16:52, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

I will add them once you recreate the Wikidata item -- I only detected it because I was already using the item off wiki Sadads (talk) 23:19, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

I am not sure which identifiers would be a good match, or what was already in the item, Sadads (talk) 23:19, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

The deleted item has a Google Knowledge Graph ID (P2671) and a Instagram username (P2003) claim in the identifiers section. Both are not sufficient for notability. There are also no references on any of the claims.

I deleted the item because its only sitelink pt:Instituto de Energia e Meio Ambiente was deleted, and it did not comply with the notability policy anymore. —MisterSynergy (talk) 07:49, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Well its a 30 year old organization, that recieves funding from dozens of differnt organizations -- making it notable on multiple dimensions by default:

• https://www.mott.org/grants/2024-13181/
• They are cited here: https://rsdjournal.org/rsd/article/view/46159
• They are referenced by the Government as notably contributor to a process: https://www.gov.br/cgu/pt-br/governo-aberto/iniciativas-de-governo-aberto/organizacoes-da-sociedade-civil/de-a-a-z/instituto-de-energia-e-meio-ambiente-iema

As a registered non-profit in Brazil and should have https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P6204 -- I will add more, but it more than meets any "lasting public interest" as a nonprofit with 30 years of public records of research and funding, Sadads (talk) 18:59, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

It's restored. Please add references and identifiers. —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:12, 26 September 2026 (UTC)

Requesting roll-back of QID deletions

@MisterSynergy Thanks for your work to keep Wikidata content high quality and ensure the integrity of the knowledge graph. I'm writing to request your help to roll back deletion on a few newly established QIDs created by the user @Yasser Showhan. I understand why you deleted the items (empty items and/or notability policy); however, please let me provide some context for this particular circumstance, and assure you that the items do indeed meet the notability criteria and were only incomplete as a new user was learning mechanisms and workflows for Wikidata editing.

The items in question were part of work-in-progress, created in connection with WikiProject IDEA. Our team is working on the documentation of endangered cultural heritage in the Middle Euphrates region, and is using the work as a teaching/learning space for building digital skills among Syrian heritage practitioners. One of our goals is to use the practical work as a mode by which to expand the familiarity of globally situated professionals with Semantic Web generally and increase contribution to Wikidata in particular among colleagues in the Middle East. The items you deleted are new QIDs that are necessary to more sensitively describe content already in Wikidata (especially archival photographs and built structures) that currently lacks regionally-appropriate descriptors. Yasser is a new editor under my tutelage--he was in the process of creating the necessary new items after ensuring that the concept did not yet exist under a different label/alias, but needed further guidance on how to format the items in question; he had only paused in the midst of his workflow.

Yasser and I have gone over what happened, reviewed the notability policy, and have clarified that he should connect new items to core statements like "instance of"/"subclass" and "on focus list" from the outset to ensure this is not an issue in the future. We have taken it as a learning opportunity, but it would be appreciated if you could undelete the following items so that I can aid him in the data modeling to connect them more robustly as originally intended. The items in question are as follows:

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q141323076
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q141406302
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q141443811
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q141343193
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q141520100
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q141520397

With thanks for your support and understanding--it can be a tall order for new contributors to learn the mechanics! Ahc84 (talk) 20:31, 29 September 2026 (UTC)

@MisterSynergy Checking in here to see if you can please reinstate the items above, or advise me as to why not? Ahc84 (talk) 04:11, 3 October 2026 (UTC)

All undeleted. Please mind that besides (basic) claims, external references make these items usable for others, and much more robust against future notability assessments. —MisterSynergy (talk) 20:08, 4 October 2026 (UTC)

@MisterSynergyThanks so much for your help. Yes--we will ensure the terms are contributed to Getty AAT controlled vocab and their new authority control ID is linked to the WD record, and they will be used to describe existing entities. Ahc84 (talk) 14:53, 7 October 2026 (UTC)

Clematis cumberlandensis

Could you please undelete Q138848637? It is linked from Catalogue of Life, so I think the recreation at Clematis cumberlandensis (Q141640592) should be merged into its old item. jlwoodwa (talk) 17:45, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
