I switched the link to English Wikipedia and moved the Persian link as well, such that it is still connected to the same English item. Some properties should help to distinguish these two items. --Zuphilip (talk) 11:25, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
1 (Yongning Pagoda / Q8055036) is the right item. The german version (Gönlung Champa Ling/ Q1559371) is currently undergoing changes because of evident errors within the article.
I created an article about a village in Ukraine and I am trying to add the Ukrainian and Russian articles to the "in other languages" list, but Wikidata is telling me there is a conflict. I am new to editing Wikipedia and I am not sure what the appropriate steps would be for me to resolve this. Could anybody help me? The Polish article also links to neither Russian or Ukrainian.
The English page for "General Electric F404" incorrectly links to the Swedish "Reaktionsmotor 12", it should be linked to [[sv:General Electric F404]].
I have hardcoded this in the article itself since it refuses to take the correction when I try to fix it in the database here.
That is not my goal, as the articles are about two different topics - the English is about the F404, with a subsection about the RM12, while the Swedish is about the RM12 with F404 as a subsection - but the wikidatabase treat them as identical which will cause problems as soon as either subsection gets expanded enough to warrant its own article. Also note that I hardcoded the links within the articles as the wikidata refuses to accept my attempts to correct the linking. BP OMowe (talk) 20:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
Please note that - at least at the moment - it is not possible to link a wikipedia page with a redirection and its redirected page to different objects. However, one could create a new object for the RM12 with a link to the Swedish wikipedia. But then there would be no interwiki links in the Swedish wikipedia. Do you want that? --Zuphilip (talk) 21:13, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
I do not quite understand what you mean, Zuphilip. Are you saying that the links in wikidata can not lead to redirect pages at all, or that redirected pages can not be redirected? The F404 (I'll use abbreviations throughout this comment rather than the full names and links) will eventually get it's own article in Swedish, while the RM12 might get it's own in English, especially if the upgraded version is accepted for the JAS39E/F series. The solution I suggested is to have the English F404 linked to the Swedish F404 and the Swedish RM12 linked to the English RM12. Then the English RM12 is redirected to the English F404 and the Swedish F404 is redirected to the Swedish RM12, possibly straight to the relevant subsections. This is a common problem with the interwiki-links, as a word in one language can have several different in others and vice versa. BP OMowe (talk) 06:26, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
It's solved, thank you. I actually had created the pages and made the proper redirects, but the wikidata refused to update. While it of course would be best to create every single corresponding article, that simply isn't possible as it requires both considerable time as well as having the appropriate sources available. This way, there will at least be considerably less work in the future trying to correct over multiple languages. BP OMowe (talk) 08:52, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi, the entry "Onoba nunezi", exist in 4 languages: English, Dutch, Vietnamese and Spanish. But the Spanish version is not linked with the other languages. When I try to link it they say it is a conflict. I don´t understand what to do. Thank you.
Merged The information what should/could be done then should be given in the error and its details. I tried it out and for German this works perfect. --Zuphilip (talk) 11:01, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Glitnir (Q291823) was taken over by the government to form Íslandsbanki (Q15614925) during the 2008 financial crisis. In German and Icelandic Wikipedias, their Glitnir pages were named as Íslandsbanki. OhanaUnitedTalk page18:48, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
The item True Women (Q2062996) should be splitted in two: one for the novel (es, hu, sv) and one for the miniseries (en, de, fr, pl, pt, ru). I'm not able to position the tr article, according to the machine translation - which looks really frightening - it seems to be concerned with both. --Hkoala (talk) 20:45, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
I moved the Swedish link to Engelsfors trilogy (Q5377577) about the book serie. At the moment it is not possible to add a redirect link (by hand), but I have forgotten if this will be implemented or if it is not wanted. There are some redirect links in objects, e.g. Fire (Q5451294). Does someone knows more about how redirect links are handled? --Zuphilip (talk) 12:04, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
You have to temporarly change the redirect to something that isn't a redirect while you add the sitelink to the item. -- Lavallen (talk) 17:28, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
I tried to link w:Asphalt shingle with its German counterpart Preolitschindel and get the error that Preolitschindel is already used by Q2108753. I am unfamiliar with interlanguage linking problems so I hope this is the right place to find resolution, I do not know what to do. Thanks; Jim Derby (talk) 01:28, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Il existait déjà une page sur le wiki en allemand dont le titre est "Interkomprehension", mais d'autres ont été rédigées sur le même sujet en plusieurs langues : "intercompréhension" en français, et les traductions en portugais, espagnol, anglais, et italien.
Comment faire pour les relier toutes à la page en allemand. --Chavagne (talk) 16:54, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
"Tok" in czech mean "Flow" in English, but also it is a name, so it must refer to "Tok". Wikidata doesnt allow this - for disambiguation pages is Wikidata useless...

The spanish term "Siderurgia" should be the same as the english term "Ironworks", as it means exactly the same. However, I can't add the english link to the spanish article, or the spanish link to the english article, because the code is different. They should be merged. Thanks! --87.219.174.1920:31, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
In the Dutch Wikipedia "Witlof" doesn't have a link to the portuguese wikipedia. In portuguese this vegetable is known as Endivia. I understand the misunderstanding, because "Andijvie" is a different vegetable in Dutch. However in this "Witlof" in the Dutch wiki should point to the portuguese "Endívia"
Why should nl:Witlof point to pt:Endívia if they are different? The scientific names for them are "Cichorium endivia" and "Cichorium intybus var. foliosum", where the second one splits up in several objects. Moreover, on nl:Andijvie it is written: "Endive ( Cichorium endivia ) is an annual plant leaf that is closely related to Witlof ( Cichorium intybus var. foliosum )." It seems fine for me as it is. --Zuphilip (talk) 16:19, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
The problem is that many of the articles are wrong, as they mix up Cichorium endivia with Cichorium intybus. This can only be solved by re-writing them. As for the interwikis, they should just follow the Latin name, and on that point they are all correct.--Joostik (talk) 19:46, 17 March 2014 (UTC)
The item qualitative inorganic analysis (Q902310) should be splitted: one item should contain the articles about the qualitative analysis in general (bg, cs, de, hu, ru, simple, sl, uk) and the other one about the qualitative inorganic analysis (ca, en, fr, id, no, pl). --Hkoala (talk) 07:43, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
The Article links between english and german language are wrong. Q5988006 (strike and dip) should be connected to "Streichen" instead of to "Fallen". And Q1195438 (dip slope) should be linked to "Fallen" instead of to "Streichen". This is beeing very confusing for people who are iterested in the geology.
On the french wikipedia, there is two articles : one for the island (Île de Sein, Q228472) and one for the commune (Île-de-Sein Q13416868) but on WikiData everything was a bit mixed up. Right now, the island is mark as the commune… --VIGNERON (talk) 20:41, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
I've tried to clean it a little bit. I hope I didn't do anything wrong. There is still the interwikilinks problem (could it be solved by the creation of a third item ?).
There is the same problem for others islands / communes in France like :
