Blanking items

[edit]

Please don't blank items like you did at art (Q55336315).

So sorry, this was an error. I somehow landed there and didn't realize I was editing the wrong page. Unsure what to undo. Josie Oakley (talk) 16:53, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed it already. Just giving you a heads up. BrokenSegue (talk) 20:25, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

[edit]

Thank you for your work in maintaining Wikidata. I have a small suggestion to improve your future work. If you notice that two items are duplicates, please merge them instead of blanking one of them. External sites use Wikidata identifiers, so it is important that we preserve the chain of references. We do this by making one item a redirect for the other. In particular, item ids are intended to be a permanent identifier, so we never reuse them for another concept. See Help:Merge for more information on how to merge items, and consider installing the Merge Gadget. Thanks!  Madamebiblio (talk) 01:34, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Noted. Will do. Thanks. Josie Oakley (talk) 04:21, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
