Authority Control Help

The following is a draft, a rough estimate to create a graphic, step-by-step help page to explain the transfer of authority control data from Wikipedia pages to newer users of Wikidata. Ideally this might be help text or some other more elegant solution integrated into the User Interface of Wikidata.

In the meantime, there are two slide decks that can be used for

• Authority Control deck (for projection) during a presentation
• Authority Control deck (for printing) to hand out

Schrëtt 1

Find the relevant authority control data in a Wikipedia article which is to be transferred to Wikidata.

Schrëtt 2

Kontrolléiert, ob schonn ee Wikidata-Element existéiert, andeems Dir

• op der Wikipediasäit an der Geschierkëscht no „Wikidata“ sicht an

• op Wikidata no Elementer sicht, déi schonn existéieren, awer mat kenger Säit verbonne sinn.

Schrëtt 3

Gitt op Wikidata a klickt op „En neit Element uleeën“.

Schrëtt 4

Enter label, description and alias.

Schrëtt 5

Dir musst d'Wikidata-Element mam Wikipediaartikel verlinken.

Schrëtt 6

Click on "+ add" to enter a new statement "VIAF".
A pop-up should then suggest "VIAF ID (VIAF) - identifier in the Virtual International Authority File".
Click on this pop-up to select the suggestion, enter the data and click "save".

Note

• It is possible to accidentally add a duplicate item; however, don't worry, as there is an automated process that will flag these duplicates, which get fixed: Constraint violations

Continue adding statements

• e.g., P31 ("instance of") => Q5 ("human")

Schrëtt 7

Go back to the original article on Wikipedia and delete the authority control data which has now been entered in Wikidata.

You will then see only {{Authority control}}
