What is Wikidata
edit
Wikidata
is a Wikimedia project to create an open and collaborative database. It is for data what Wikimedia Commons is for media files: it centralizes access and management of structured data, such as interwiki references, external identifiers and statistical information. Wikidata contains data and labels in all languages for which there are Wikimedia projects.
Mission
edit
To discuss integration of Wikispecies with Wikidata, and serve as a collaboration platform with
Wikidata:Wikispecies
Current status
edit
As of October 2021, Wikispecies uses Wikidata for:
Interwiki links (links to equivalent pages in Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource etc) for all relevant pages
Images of taxa (mostly at species level) and of authors; using
{{
Image
}}
Authority control (identifiers) for authors and for references (e.g. in
{{
O’Loughlin & O’Hara, 1990
}}
); using
{{
Authority control
}}
Lists such as
Repositories/Wikidata
Template talk:Théel, 1879
– see
Category:Lists based on Wikidata
and
Special:Contributions/ListeriaBot
And, pending, for templates for journal articles.
Useful script
edit
The user script at
d:User:Yair rand/WikidataInfo.js
will insert, below a Wikispecies page's title, a link to the corresponding Wikidata item, or a link to create one if none exists. In the former case, it all also add the label and aliases, in your preferred language.
Simply add the code:
mw
loader
load
"//www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Yair rand/WikidataInfo.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript"
);
// Backlink: [[d:User:Yair rand/WikidataInfo.js]]
to
your common.js page
on
this
wiki; or to
meta:Special:Mypage/global.js
(the latter will make it work on all projects)
Templates
