Incubator:Wikidata
Wikidata is one of the sister projects of Wikimedia Incubator. It is a powerful database with lots of information that can be used on other Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia. One of the things that comes from Wikidata is the so-called interwiki links, which are links to pages about the same subject in other languages.
For technical reasons, using Wikidata information inside the Wikimedia Incubator is a little bit more difficult than it is on other Wikimedia projects, but it is not impossible.
How to use interwiki links from Wikidata
In order to use interwiki links from Wikidata inside a test wiki on the Wikimedia Incubator, you can use the template called {{INTERWIKI}}
. The way to use it inside wikitext is:
Where Q1234 is the Wikidata ID that corresponds to the article.
There is a gadget on the Wikimedia Incubator that lets you add the template in just a few clicks. It is enabled by default for all users.
💻📱 How to find the Wikidata ID from a Wikidata search
The easiest way to find a Wikidata ID is to simply search for it on Wikidata. Wikidata is multilingual, so you could search for it in any language you know. But remember that several things can have the same name in Wikidata, so you should make sure that the Wikidata item belongs to the right subject.
💻 How to find the Wikidata ID from a Wikipedia article
If you are on a computer, an easy way to find the Wikidata ID for a specific topic is often to visit a Wikipedia article about the subject in another language. Every article on Wikipedia should have a link in the tools in the sidebar saying "ウィキデータ item". If you click this, you will be taken to the Wikidata item, and you will see the ID in the title of the page. All Wikidata IDs start with a "Q" and then some numbers.
How to use data from Wikidata
It is possible to use data from Wikidata on the Wikimedia Incubator through modules. However, unlike in Wikipedia and other projects, you will have to specify the Wikidata ID manually where the module is used, because pages on the Wikimedia Incubator are not connected to Wikidata in the same way as on Wikipedia. A good example of a module that uses Wikidata in the Incubator is the Databox module, which adds an infobox with data from Wikidata to articles. See Incubator:Wikidata/Databox for a guide to how to add it to your test wiki.
