This page uses the Structured Discussions extension of MediaWiki (SD, formerly known as “Flow”). I think that we really need something like this instead of the classical discussion approach, but I am also aware of the fact that not everything works smoothly yet in SD.

If you struggle to use this discussion page perfectly, do not worry and just leave a messy or broken comment for me. You do not need to figure out how to write a perfectly formatted comment with lots of trial-and-error edits. I am hopefully going to figure out what is on, otherwise I am going to ask you. Thanks!

Btw. SD comments do not need to be signed, since the software manages all contributions and puts user names and timestamps above them. Experienced users might also like the wikitext mode of SD, to be actived in the lower right corner of the input field.

Hi, I got a notification of the deletion of {{Q|127514921}} with the mention "Empty item: content was: "Template:European political organisation"". I am surprised, because I created this template (to supplement {{Q|10707879}}, which focused on registered European political parties, while the other one contained entities not registered at the EU level). Do you know why this was marked as empty? Last I checked it contained six entities. Thanks!

A template item needs at least one sitelink to a page in template namespace in any Wikimedia project. This one never had any sitelinks, and is thus considered empty. If you just forgot to add these sitelinks, please let me know and we restore the item.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. I am rather new and was not aware of this. I can take care of this if you restore the page!

It is restored. Please work on it, in order to avoid that it is being deleted again.

Thanks a lot. Quick question before we wrap this up: the most relevant template is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Political_organisations_at_European_Union_level this one]. However, it refers both to entities that are registered as European parties and entities that are not registered. As a result, it is already used by Q10707879, which leads me to an error when I try to add it to the template you just restored. Indeed, both template refer to quite similar entities -- some registered, some not -- that it kind of makes sense to add on a common template on Wikipedia. Any recommendation?

Any idea?

You cannot add a given Wikipedia page (here: that enwiki template) to more than one Wikidata item page as a sitelink.

Usually, we use template items as in this case for sitelinks only, with rather limited data that at best helps to organize these items internally. Actual data should not be organized inside template items. Could you maybe look into other ways to represent this information in Wikidata, specifically distributed over the items listed on the template item we initially looked at?

Thanks. I actually think you are right. I came across the other template and figured I could use it to quickly have a list of specific pages, but that doesn't seem to be the proper use of templates. What it a better way to quickly have a list of specific items? I guess a SPARQL query could work. Maybe by adding the specific elements (say European parties) under "has instances" on the page of the page of the item "European political party"? Is that an ok way to do this?

Hi. From 31 August 2021 (log), could you restore the items that have the "taluka" as suffix? They are referenced elsewhere and need to be merged. For example, Q106997302 with Wai taluka (Q123267169). Thanks

Done, see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=delete&user=MisterSynergy&page=&wpdate=2024-07-12&tagfilter=&subtype=restore&wpFormIdentifier=logeventslist&limit=16

I sometimes wonder why people create empty items and connect them to Commons.

All restored.

I am kinda wondering whether some item usage report at Commons is broken. I usually check for item usage for each deleted items, but it seems that there is nothing on record for those items. So, how did you find these cases?

I am working on a backlog of moving artwork data from Commons to Wikidata. The above files are all in c:Category:Artworks with Wikidata item missing image which detects files connected to Wikidata which are missing an image. See also c:Category:Artworks with Wikidata item: quick statements which has files with few dozen other properties which file might have but item on Wikidata does not.

I filled all the new items now

Can you restore Q126687681. It being used on Commons and I can fill it.

Weird, usage neither shows up at c:Special:EntityUsage/Q126687681 nor via SDC query service. But there is c:Special:Diff/884392437, so I restored it.

Can you please restore it as Chrysos Synodinos was part of a conference that Wiki Loves EuroPride 2024 is mapping. Thank you!@Irdiism is also to connect it to other items.

done

Please also Q126891431 content was: "Orlando LGBT+"

Hey there,

Thanks for your contribution on keeping Wikidata clean.

Can you please restore Q126841415 because it is an NGO, members of which i met in Greece and i was just about to add statements and references to it.

Thanks again!

Not sure what oracle told MsynBot that these edits don't have to be patrolled , but I reverted all of them.

Yes, this should have not been patrolled. I found a flaw in the source, but have no time to fix it right now. This job is deactivated until I find time to address this.

Hi there! Could you please restore it? I've forgotten to fulfill the statements, but he was a mayor of a French locality, hence he passes N. Thanks in advance!

done

Hello, I noticed Bot Edits which are indeed done in Good faith but I'm afraid the very change of canonical namespace prefix is contested and under-discussion at Hindi Wikipedia VP and Phabricator Task T366235. Thus request to hold such further changes for Hindi Projects. Regards.

Could you please check the bot status, DeltaBot didn't update Wikidata:Property_proposal/Overview since 25 May 2024.

That closing bracket was the issue: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Property_proposal/Generic&diff=prev&oldid=2166162354

As it is already fixed, the bot was able to complete today's run successfully. Such a bad link should not crash the bot, but I have little to no time to catch these exceptions in the source right now.

@MisterSynergy: bot again stop updating Wikidata:Property_proposal/Overview!

fixed. it was somehow related to residual redirect pages starting from Wikidata:User:Jts1882/Property proposal/Identifiers for Species Files databases
