== How to purge https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Bola%C3%B1o so it gets the new QID? ==

When querying Toolserver, the item linked to the above is still [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q28648921&redirect=no Q28648921] and not the item it was merged with.

I used to be able to purge this by calling https://es.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=purge&format=rawfm&forcelinkupdate&forcerecursivelinkupdate&titles=Oscar_Bola%C3%B1o 

Simply using &action=purge (or the gadget that does the same) isn't sufficient. What's the new solution? 

The problem occurs fairly regularly with page merges. <br/>--- [[User talk:Jura1|Jura]] 16:21, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

== External wiki sites in articles ==

Do you thing it would be a good idea to treat external wiki sites like [[Property:P839|IMSPL]] or sites of Wikia – that also have encyclopedic organisation of content as a "semi-internal" wiki projects? Let's say, instead IMSPL is an ''External identifier'' it would provide linking below Wikimedian links. So: Wikipedia, Wikisource ... Other sites and ''External wiki sites''. For [[Q1339|Johann Sebastian Bach]] there would stay:

{| class=wikitable
|-
| bgcolor=white | <big>External wiki sites</big> <small>(1 entry)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color=#0645ad>edit</font></small><br><span style="background-color:#EEEEEC; border:1px solid lightgrey; padding:1px;">&nbsp;Imspl.org&nbsp;</span> <span class="plainlinks">[http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Bach,_Johann_Sebastian <span style="color:#0645ad">Category:Bach, Johann Sebastian</span>]</span>

: This is an absolutely common type of mistake, see the history of frequently used properties like birth date, etc. What also is common is to mistakenly edit another item instead of a statement, e.g. when a football player changes the team, then the name of the old team is changed to match the new team. So far, nothing new here. If you are watching the unpatrolled RC, then you'll see these kinds of edits multiple times every day.

== Attempts to input descriptions in Greek language fail ==

{{tracked|T161263|resolved}}
Hi we have a report from several users that we cannot, in some cases, input a description in Greek language. Please help.

Examples: I tried in {{Q|Q3263449}}, {{Q|Q352940}}. Another user mentions {{Q|Q28459566}}.

Thank you. It is weird that we never had such a problem before. This is something new. Let us see if it fixed on Monday as promised. --[[User:FocalPoint|FocalPoint]] ([[User talk:FocalPoint|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 10:37, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, from the last two days, When I try to add Arabic Label/aliases/des., I got error  [[MediaWiki:Wikibase-validator-malformed-value/en|Malformed input]] . --[[User:Mr. Ibrahem|Mr. Ibrahem]] ([[User talk:Mr. Ibrahem|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 11:14, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

== Queries ==

Hello.
#What does "[[MediaWiki:Abusefilter-edit-throttled]]" mean?(which [[Special:AbuseFilter/59|filter 59]] does not work because of it)
#Is "{{MediaWiki:Statistics-articles}}" includes [[Special:AbuseFilter/50|Redirect created]]?
Thank you --[[User:ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2|ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2]] ([[User talk:ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 13:02, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
:{{ping|ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2}} The first message means that an abuse filter matched to many edits (that's relative to the number of all edits), thus it has been disabled as it might match to many edits (by mistake). I don't quite get the second question… if you're asking whether Item pages will also be matched by that filter then yes, they are.

I created {{P|3801}} with the datatype string as it was what the proposal suggested and I overlooked the wrong datatype. Can you please change the datatype to external-id?
