'''Relocated from [[Special:Diff/2360/2360|Item talk:Q1]].'''
Discussion relocated from [[Special:Diff/2360/2361|Item talk:Q1]].


Even though people celebrate October 29, 2012 as the inception data of Wikidata, I changed the date to October 25, 2012 on this wiki. Why? For consistency reasons: It is impossible to figure out the correct inception dates in retrospect other than checking for the first edit on the wiki. I believe this is the only date that can consistently be determined. Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 09:02, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

:: To additionally have an "observed" birthday makes sense. Not sure how to best name it. We will not be able to fill it in most cases, though. --[[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 16:26, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

:::: We probably also need a date defining when Wikibase started being used to the wiki. I can imagine a wiki that only added Wikibase and friends sometime after its inception and birthday. In this case, the date should be when they started using the software, i.e., the day the first item or property was created. This date can also be determined for every instance using Wikibase. If not they installed the software but never used it. Also good to know. --[[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 16:32, 18 September 2023 (UTC) PS [[Item:Q106|Zetawiki]] Is a good example for the latter case.
:::: I was being bold and created [[Property:P38|service entry]]. In the end, I did not like naming this birthday. --[[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 11:12, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

: Hi, I think you tried to retrieve all Wikibase instances recorded on this wiki. Use the first one provided in this [[Project:Home#Browse|section of the homepage.]]. Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 07:28, 12 October 2023 (UTC) PS I placed your question in a new section since it appeared unrelated.
 
== Wikibase.Cloud discovery ==
 
[https://www.wikibase.cloud/discovery New listing] of Wikibases hosted on Wikibase.Cloud. Useful source for new entries. [[User:Harej|Harej]] ([[User talk:Harej|talk]]) 19:53, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
 
: The top 24 Wikibase instances on Wikibase Cloud by the number of pages (10,000+) with a minimal set of data (instance of, URL, availability status, and host) are now on wikibase world, except for "pbsandbox." --[[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 14:51, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 
== System requirements ==
 
What are the system requirements for installing Wikibase? Could it run on an Android Oneplus 11 smartphone with 16 GB of RAM? [[User:Jkintree2|Jkintree2]] ([[User talk:Jkintree2|talk]]) 23:57, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
: I suggest asking over at the [[mw:Talk:Wikibase|Wikibase talk page on mediawiki.org]]. Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]]) 13:49, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 
== Entity resolution ==
 
If the same entity has been entered in multiple Wikibases, and has a different QID in each Wikibase, how are the items merged? [[User:Jkintree2|Jkintree2]] ([[User talk:Jkintree2|talk]]) 23:41, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
: You can do in using the [[Property:P4|exact match property.]]. The best place to get information and to ask such questions is the [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Community_portal community portal at Wikidata] as the mother of all wikibases. Cheers --[[User:Kghbln|Kghbln]] ([[User talk:Kghbln|talk]])
 
Your answer is appreciated. The exact match property can link items in multiple Wikibases. That's an elegant solution. If the different Wikibases are running on the same cloud hosting service, the performance for the merged Wikibases could be good.  [[User:Jkintree2|Jkintree2]] ([[User talk:Jkintree2|talk]]) 19:51, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
