Wikidata maintenance tasks related to Wikisource:Wikidata.

Author

The goal is to link all Author namespace pages to Wikidata. This maintenance task started as Maintenance of the Month March 2014 titled Author page connection with Wikidata items. The initial migration was completed in 2015.

Tools

Use these tracking categories:

• Category:Author pages not connected to Wikidata (0 pages), lists all pages in the Author namespace that have not yet been linked to Wikidata.
• Category:Author pages connected to Wikidata (39,317 pages), lists all pages in the Author namespace currently linked to Wikidata

VIAF

Virtual International Authority File resources (for identifying the correct author among several wikidata items with the same name):

• Category:VIAF not on Wikidata (0 pages)
• Report errors with VIAF records

SPARQL queries

• Authors without Wikipedia articles
• Biographies with no identifiers

Progress

New author pages are created regularly and need to be linked to Wikidata. The initial migration to Wikidata was archived, but our recent efforts can be tracked here.
