Welcome to Wikidata, Mdaniels5757!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Best regards!

To date, the name of Lake Nurie (see Lake ka:ნურიე in Georgian).GiorgiXIII (talk) 15:05, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

@GiorgiXIII I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying. Could you please explain more? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 16:05, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Ah, I see. You're saying that Lake Nurie (Q24687329) and Lake Nurie (Q12867729) are the same? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Wikimedije > Wikimedie

Hi, Mdaniels5757. I thought this request has been carried out, but Q8690079 still contained incorrect spelling. Could you please let me know about the current status of this request? --TadejM (talk) 14:18, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi @TadejM. The bot has been made and approved, and is running (see Special:Contributions/MDanielsBot), but because there are so many descriptions to edit it will take a long time to run. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 17:00, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

I see. Thank you a lot. --TadejM (talk) 17:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

Hi again! I see some work has been done already. Could you please also do the following replacement: Wikimedija > Wikimedia? This is the correct spelling; see e.g. sl:Fundacija Wikimedia. --TadejM (talk) 11:16, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

@TadejM This one will be more complicated because it's not an entire description. I'll wait until the others are done (which will likely take months for all of them.) —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 12:55, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

@TadejM An update: all 345,128 "seznam Wikimedije" descriptions have been changed. I am now doing the 1,335,311 "razločitvena stran Wikimedije" descriptions, this will take about 14 days. After that's done, I will do the 5,141,019 "kategorija Wikimedije" descriptions, which will take about 45 additional days. Finally, I will probably do the 134,220 descriptions that contain "Wikimedije". Cheers, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 00:03, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

@Mcdaniels5757 Noted. These are staggering numbers. I never imagined the issue to be of such extent. Thank you so much! --TadejM (talk) 00:42, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Mdaniels5757. Thanks for your work so far. Seznam Wikimedie seems to be fine now, but I have noticed that there are still many items containing kategorija Wikimedije instead of kategorija Wikimedie. When do you think this could be fixed? --TadejM (talk) 10:26, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, Mdaniels5757. As I have received no reply whatsoever in over three months, I am going to create a new bot request for this task. --TadejM (talk) 14:34, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Replied there, sorry! —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 15:54, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Kaa

Hi, the template description on Wikidata used to be "shablon Wikimedia" for kaawiki. We're changing it to "Wikimedia úlgisi." Can you do this with a bot?

Could you also add "Wikimedia kategoriyası" (kaa) for categories? --Janabaevazizbek (talk) 10:36, 26 September 2025 (UTC)

@Janabaevazizbek I can do this, at least once a technical issue is fixed. A few questions:

• Would you like to have these added for all new categories? If yes, just confirm that all new kaa descriptions for Wikimedia template (Q11266439) should be "Wikimedia úlgisi" and the description for Wikimedia category (Q4167836) should be "Wikimedia kategoriyası", and then I (or you, if you prefer) can make a pull request for this file.
• Please confirm that you want, on all instances of Wikimedia template (Q11266439) with the kaa description "shablon Wikimedia", for it to instead have the description "Wikimedia úlgisi"
• Please also confirm that you want, on all instances of Wikimedia category (Q4167836) with no kaa description, to add the description "Wikimedia kategoriyası"

Thanks, —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 05:03, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. You can perform all the remaining operations.

1. shablon Wikimedia → Wikimedia úlgisi (templates)
2. Wikimedia úlgisi (for templates)
3. Wikimedia kategoriyası (for categories). Thanks you, --Janabaevazizbek (talk) 05:17, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

@Janabaevazizbek I've started with the first set of operations. I can start with the others after that's done. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:58, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

On second thought, I'm not sure that parts 2 and 3 are worth the ~7,000,000 edits. Perhaps it could be batched with some sort of other update? But the batching would be too sophisticated for my bot, so I wouldn't be able to do it. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 23:29, 1 October 2025 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757, Hi man. --Janabaevazizbek (talk) 21:39, 27 January 2026 (UTC)

? —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

@Mdaniels5757, I think you paused the process. Can you continue? --Kvazimodo (talk) 05:44, 5 March 2026 (UTC)

Odd, I've restarted it. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 22:42, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I saw that you changed "Shablon Wikimedia" to "Wikimedia úlgisi". Could you now add the description "Wikimedia úlgisi" to all template pages on Wikidata, and "Wikimedia kategoriyası" to all category pages for kaa? --Kvazimodo (talk) 06:48, 25 March 2026 (UTC)

I need to work on some code for that first. —‍Mdaniels5757 (talk • contribs) 20:14, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

AI slop

I have reported you to the administrator’s noticeboard for restoring terrible AI slop to a bunch of items with no explanation. Dronebogus (talk) 23:07, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
