Welcome to Wikidata, Mickhinds!
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.

YLE[edit]
I saw you proposal of Yle topic ID (P8309) I have created one Swedish related broadcasts property SVT Play ID (P6817) but would like to convince the Swedish Television/Broadcast people that they should use more linked data and maybe also Wikidata if you have something written about YLE usage please share salgo60@msn.com twitter salgo60 - Salgo60 (talk) 08:02, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Salgo60: I wrote a blog post on Wikimedia.fi a few years back, when Yle started tagging journalistic content using Wikidata. I think the arguments made there are still valid, even increasingly so.
- And compared to the situation back in 2016, Yle was quite alone in using Wikidata. But if you look at topic id's now, you find quite a lot of media companies, including for example BBC News topic ID (P6200), Omni topic ID (P3479), Dagens Nyheter topic ID (P3509), DR topic ID (P6849)}, and now also Yle topic ID (P8309).
