Goodies, tips, and tricks Put Babel boxes on your user page so others know what languages you can speak and indicate your graphic abilities. You can find the files you have uploaded in your Uploads. Please sign your name on Talk pages by typing ~~~~. To link to an image page without embedding the image, type: [[:File:Foo.jpg]], which produces: File:Foo.jpg. You may enable gadgets (custom features) for your account. There are several tools to upload files. Have you edited Wikipedia before? This guide might be useful. Made a mistake? Do you want to have a file renamed or moved? Use the move link and wait for an authorized user to rename it. Do you want to have your recently uploaded picture removed? Tag it as {{speedy|reason here}}. For more information read the deletion guidelines.

Structured data redundancies

Hi Trade! For edits like this, is there a way to ensure we're not adding redundant structured data? That item was already tagged with wikidata:Q2797513, making the addition of wikidata:Q11639 perhaps a redundant. (I say "perhaps" because Q2797513 seems to not have separated out the dance and associated music.) Sdkb ^talk 19:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

Other than removing "dance" from the entire category, i can't think of any way Trade (talk) 20:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

If there's no way to do that, then the task probably needs manual review. Sdkb ^talk 02:41, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Could probably solve it if there was a way to search for all photos in that category that features Q2797513 Trade (talk) 02:44, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

I'm not concerned about that specific edit (which is easily fixed manually), though, but rather about the broader issue it illustrates. And I don't see how what you propose could scale. What we need is for AC/DC to issue a warning when you try to add a depicts statement to a photo that already has a depicts statement for an item that is an instance or a subclass of the item being added. Pinging Lucas Werkmeister as maintainer. Sdkb ^talk 02:51, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

Hm. I think this might be possible to do relatively efficiently – get all the subclasses / instances of the items being added once, and then check each existing item’s statements against that (ACDC already fetches the existing statements so it can check whether they need to be re-added or not). But I wonder how the gadget can know when this is appropriate or not. It’s probably a good idea to do it for properties like depicts (P180), but I’m less sure about other ones, like significant event (P793) or copyright license (P275)… what do you think? (Maybe this would also be worth moving to Help talk:Gadget-ACDC.) Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 16:24, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

I think "depicts" would be a good start, and we could expand from there. (And happy for this discussion to be moved, or a {{Please see}} to be put there; anywhere is fine so long as we don't create forks.) Sdkb ^talk 16:50, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Welcome, Dear Filemover!

Hi Trade, you're now a filemover. When moving files please respect the following advice:

• Use the CommonsDelinker link in the {{Rename}} template to order a bot to replace all ocurrences of the old title with the new one. Or, if there was no rename-request, please use the Move & Replace-tab.
• Please leave a redirect behind unless you have a valid reason not to do so. Other projects, including those using InstantCommons, might be using the file even though they don't show up in the global usage. Deleting the redirects would break their file references. Please see this section of the file rename guideline for more information.
• Please know and follow the file rename guidelines.
