Wikidata wrangling[edit]

Hi. I see that you helped get Wikidata links to some new articles I created, and that's much appreciated. In the spirit of "teach a man to fish...", I have a question about the protocols for certain functions that are very easily handled in Wikipedia and Wikispecies, but not in Wikidata, and hopefully it's something you can teach me - assuming it's something Wikidata allows. Case in point, I just created an article for Scaralina marmorata, a species which previously had no Wikipedia article, but did appear in Wikidata under the previous combination, "Calyptoproctus marmoratus". I linked the article to that Wikidata item, but most (not all) of the links in Wikidata also point to the old combination, only a few point to the new name (e.g., iNat, BugGuide). Is there a process to migrate an existing Wikidata item to a new title, or do you really need to create an entirely new Wikidata record, and then delete all the links in the old Wikidata record that are pointing to the new name? Link deletion seems to be necessary, because Wikidata appears to choke when different records contain identical links ("There can be only one"). If Wikidata retains all previous combinations of a name, is there a way for the old combinations to point to the new one? Thanks for any tips. Dyanega (talk) 23:48, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the most part, while we modify Wikipedia articles to have the current taxonomic name of a taxon, we keep adding new Wikidata records for each new combination of a taxon. So both Calyptoproctus marmoratus and Scaralina marmorata should each have a unique Wikidata item, each with pointers to the various DBs that have entries for that exact name. But it's a bit of Wild Wild West territory there, as WD supports all the different language Wikis. When I find IDs on the wrong Wikidata item, I move them to the correct one. And yes, there are some fields you can add to an item to point to an older name (such as "basionym" or "original combination") and you can point forward from such using the field "subject has role". - UtherSRG (talk) 00:45, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recreating a previously deleted page[edit]

Hello UtherSRG,

I noticed that you were working on the film page Obara'M, which was deleted. I want to work on that same film page but I would also like to be aware of any issues this topic had in the past to avoid repeating the same thing.

I would really appreciate your help in understanding why this topic was previously deleted.

Thanks. Aivrie (talk) 19:26, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it as WP:CSD#G5. You may start it fresh. I suggest Draft:Obara'M. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:16, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi UtherSRG, might find my SPI complaint at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nittin Das relevant. Cheers, microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 19:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
