Wikipedia talk:Wikidata

On Module:Authority control we are currently reading the Wikidata item of an article about 150 times for each separate identifier using getBestStatements. I am wondering if it would be more efficient to extract all the statements in one go using getAllStatements and then process them with Lua. Does anyone have any insight into this? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:16, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

{{ping|MSGJ}} could you describe the up-to-date practice for using redirects in interlanguage links, please? thanks! fgnievinski (talk) 01:06, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

:For some reason I did not receive any notification of this post. But I'm glad you sorted it — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:02, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

The article says "From a Wikipedia page, you can go to the link "Wikidata item", using "Tools" in the side panel" but my interface does not show the "Wikidata item" link. I am using an ipad in desktop mode, default skin. I worked around this problem by making the desired change on the Wikidata website but surely I am not the only person having this problem?

:In the last few days, the link has been moved to the "in other projects" section of the side panel — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:30, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Redirect#Interwiki redirect to Wikidata (not redir with Wikidata). Thanks! fgnievinski (talk) 15:59, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
