Attempt to merge en:aleurolite (Q15410423) with en:siltstone (Q565731) failed. It's the same thing under different names. Abune (talk) 20:38, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

I tried to merge Q1508902 and Q29575688 but it said "Error while "Merge with: Q1508902": The two items cannot be merged because one of them links to the other using the properties: P460, P460". --Koryakov Yuri (talk) 13:35, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Whatever your algorithm is, the two items must be merged.. The error message "The two items cannot be merged because one of them links to the other using the properties: P1889, P1889" is useless for editors. Lembit Staan (talk) 22:04, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

I accidentally created Q30970922 and wanted to merge it with Q1305037 (since they are the same thing). However I got the message "Permission denied". I already posted a message on Ukrainian Wikipedia asking to merge Спільний рід interwikis with Common Gender before that, but got no reply. So I tried to take it into my own hands, but, as you can see, failed miserably. --Underfell Flowey (talk) 10:10, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

@Underfell Flowey: This is because common (Q30970922) is semiprotected (note the gray padlock in the upper right corner), so you indeed don’t have the permission to edit it, and merging is also an edit. (You need at least 50 Wikidata edits to be able to edit semiprotected pages.) I merged them for you now. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 23:59, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

The two items cannot be merged because one of them links to the other using the properties: P361

Very funny - P361 does not exist and it is the same institution. --Bahnmoeller (talk) 22:40, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I get the following error message when trying to merge these two items: "Error while "Merge with: Q326082": The statement has already a reference with hash b944c18c692e8e96e79f215d9b5120d78b7c1b61." (How) can this be solved? Beireke1 (talk) 10:09, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

@Beireke1: It seems to be caused by this double bot edit. If you remove either statement, I think it should work. By the way, this has already a reference with hash error occurs from time to time, so maybe the gadget could be made smart enough to handle it? (P.S. It would have made debugging a bit faster if you’d linked the Qid’s—that way I could have just clicked on them instead of copying the IDs to the search bar.) —Tacsipacsi (talk) 20:28, 27 February 2021 (UTC)

@Tacsipacsi: Many thanks, that works indeed! Beireke1 (talk) 11:03, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

When coming across the Wikipedia article Cyrillic alphabets, I was astonished that there was no Russian version of it. Then I found out that the Russian article Алфавиты на основе кириллицы has almost exactly the same content and a very similar title; however, it is linked to Languages written in a Cyrillic alphabet, which redirects to Cyrillic alphabets. Consequently, I tried to merge Q867589 and Q867570, but it did not work. I have never done something like this, so it would be nice if someone could help me with this. --Buncic (talk) 09:19, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

@Buncic: The way I interpret it, they seem to have different scopes as list of Cyrillic-script alphabets (Q867589) is a list and the interwiki links I checked are clearly lists, while Cyrillic-script alphabet (Q867570) is an article that not only list the alphabets but describes them individually in more detail as well. I don't think these two should be merged as I do believe they are used differently on other IDs. --Sabelöga (talk) 23:55, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi! Please, help to merge! This is - Q97359978 and Q59384089. Thanks! --Nickispeaki (talk) 10:23, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

@FakirNL: This is because Category:1084 by country (Q97386509)instance of (P31)Wikimedia category (Q4167836) has the same reference twice. This issue (duplicate references stopping people from merging items) comes up quite often and probably needs a general solution, but as a workaround, removing one of them (or even both of them, as they don’t really add any value to the item in this particular case) should make the merge possible. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:30, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

It would be great if there could be a warning if "normal" items are being merged with "wikimedia" items like disambiguations, redirects or such since they often have lots of descriptions that would be erroneous if merged. Ainali (talk) 13:45, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Be able to not merge labels and descriptions in the "wikimedia" item when merging with a "normal" item. The label/decription are often (allways?) incorrect for a "normal" item. Maundwiki (talk) 16:34, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

The English article (and probably other languages) content covers both the process and the study and it's not necessary to have two separate items (with same title) that cover each other. It seems that no language has articles in both items and merging them has no problem. HADI (talk) 16:01, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

I see, indeed some of them are disambig pages and some are surname pages. Item Einhorn (Q258751) must be split.

@Hjart: This is because Q50252637 has the very same reference twice for the located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statement. Removing either of them will make the merge possible.

The wikidata objects are both linked to a disambiguation page, but the property P1889 (different from) prevents the merge. The error message on Q21452070: "Error while "Merge with: Q1367628": The two items cannot be merged because one of them links to the other using the properties: P1889, P1889". But I think this property is set incorrectly. It states "family name has to use a different item than disambiguation pages". But that's simply wrong since both are disambiguation pages. The solution would be to remove the property. Am I right? --Elutz (talk) 20:20, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

@Zezen: Q47297258 contains the claim Q47297258subclass of (P279)mace (Q272990). In other words, it claims "buzdygan" is a special case of a "mace". --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 10:55, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Szanowny @Matěj Suchánek: thank you for this explanation.

Now, given that buzdygan and bulava (and probably some more) are co-hyponyms (subsets, subclasses, etc.) of mace (Q272990) - what to do here? Remove this claim first?

Me no WikiData expert, alas, so is there a better visual way (a graph?) to grok these instances, classes, instantiations, (sub)categories, hyperonyms and such?

(BTW, teprve teď vidím, že existuje také Q2432431 - Церемониальная булава etc. Hm and sigh then...) 37.109.33.110 18:06, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

The Wikipedia articles connected in Q1898328 treat the same thing as the ones connected in Q11994045. They all describe how words can be broken down into syllables to make it possible to divide words at the end of lines using a hyphen. While it is true that, depending on the word used, the articles might put a slightly different emphasis on placing hyphens or defining syllables, it is rather unsatisfactory not to have an interwiki connection between, for example, w:es:Hifenación and w:fr:Césure (typographie) or between w:de:Worttrennung and w:en:Syllabification. Note also that w:es:Hifenación is connected to syllabification, not to hyphenation, as the word might suggest. --Buncic (talk) 10:22, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

No, they should not be merged. While it’s unfortunate if articles on more or less the same topic aren’t connected through interlanguage links, Wikidata is first and foremost a database, and it should describe different concepts in different items. Syllabification and hyphenation are clearly different. For example, the Hungarian word rendőr (L619931) is syllabified as ren-dőr, but it’s hyphenated as rend-őr, because compound words are hyphenated at the composition boundaries even if they aren’t syllabified that way. —Tacsipacsi (talk) 22:41, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

Being a linguist, I totally agree that syllabification and hyphenation are not the same thing (and you don’t have to use Hungarian; even in English, there are many examples like dat-ing vs. [ˈdɛ͜ɪ.tɪŋ] or re-spond vs. [rɪsˈpɒnd]). However, w:en:Hyphenation is just a disambiguation page and sends readers for one of its two senses to w:en:Syllabification, and that article begins: “Syllabification (/sɪˌlæbɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/) or syllabication (/sɪˌlæbɪˈkeɪʃən/), also known as hyphenation, …” and exclusively treats the problem of line-breaks.
So then the solution would probably be to move all the Wikipedia articles currently listed under Q1898328 (syllabification) – unless they are actually concerned with linguistic syllable structure rather than with line-breaks – to Q11994045 (hyphenation)? --Buncic (talk) 09:25, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

I have just done this now. By the way, an actual description of syllabification on the English Wikipedia can be found here: w:en:Syllable#Syllabification. Unfortunately, a chapter in an article cannot be linked to a Wikidata object. --Buncic (talk) 10:55, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

When attempting that merge, I got the message Error while "Merge with: Q27349821": [4891d323-e88c-47b4-8b5b-da849c262416] Caught exception of type Wikibase\Lib\Store\EntityContentTooBigException, and the merge gadget does not seem to have made an edit to either of the two items.

Consider adding actual authors as authors? Here you could make an item for the consortium and add this instead. --- Jura 23:04, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

I tried to do the merge via QuickStatements, but this failed too. The actual authors have been curated at Q27349821 so far. Not sure the consortium approach works at scale, as the precise author list differs between papers, so we would end up with lots of items about such consortia, which would be different from more formal consortia where membership fluctuation is not necessarily reflected in authorship statements. Next thing to try is perhaps to remove all the P2093 statements from Q110449462 for which Q27349821 already has a P50 statement, and then retry the merge. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 23:32, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

I don't really see it happen on Q27349821 and apparently it didn't work at the journal either. BTW how did you identify the actual authors?

Apparently the credit is to "Atlas collaboration". One item for this is sufficient. On the item of each member, one could track their participation. --- Jura 10:48, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

The placement and decoration of buttons in the merge assistent dialogue seems pretty messed up currently:

• "Cancel" is at the top left corner in the header; black font is used
• "Merge" is at the top right corner in the header; black font is used
• "Postpone" is at the bottom left corner in the footer; highlighted blue font is used

Now I'm not a UI expert, but this does not seem to be a good design. Can this perhaps be consolidated in some way? My impression is that all buttons could be gathered in the footer section, and the "Merge" button should be more highlighted than the "Postpone" button since it likely is the action that most users are seeking to perform. —MisterSynergy (talk) 23:47, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi,

I'm allways a bit confused when it comes to merge 3 entities. I know the rule is to merge both greated ID into the smaller in order to avoid double-redirect but somehow I got mixed-up, I tried to unmerge-remarge but it fails and I'm not sure how to un-entangled it here.

Which one should I choose? Shkuru Afshar (talk) 04:40, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

@Shkuru Afshar: which one do you need ? What is you item? For instance, Elaheh (Elaheh (Q56425071)) is the first name of Elaheh Kowsari (Elaheh Kowsari (Q83694004)) because the name is in Latin script and الهه (Elaheh (Q99079478)) is the first name of الهه رضایی (Elaheh Rezaei (Q5741424)) because the name is in Persian alphabet.

In Q2082286 he and es articles are called after the ministry as a body, just like ru article in Q20021285.
