Wikidata shown on Wikipedia
Regarding this edit, what purpose does the column of Wikidata Items serve? Wikidata is not meant to be seen out in the open, as it were, on Wikipedia. Abductive (reasoning) 22:24, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Including the Wikidata number beside individual items in a table of monuments or artworks provides a link to further sources of information on that specific item, including the various art databases, national archives and major libraries with relevant entries. Also there is often a map there with, accurate, coordinates for the statue or monument. In short, including the Wikidata number in the table forefills the same, or very similar, service that the Authority Control template provides on a single-subject article page. I hope that's helpful and thanks for your question. Best regards. 14GTR (talk) 07:51, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- It is interesting that the practice of including a Wikidata Item number on a template isn't more widespread, than. Are there any other places on Wikipedia that have such direct links to Wikidata? Abductive (reasoning) 18:03, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for your reply. I mainly only deal with sculpture and artist related articles but I would guess building and infrastructure related lists would be another area to look at. 14GTR (talk) 12:24, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think you misunderstand; having Wikidata Q-numbers in Wikipedia is unacceptable. Abductive (reasoning) 17:46, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
