[10:42:24] Someone should create a Matrix bridge between this room and the Telegram room [11:55:49] admin@wikidata [11:56:15] Hello [11:56:15] I hope you are well [11:56:16] I have encountered a problem that when I want to create a new item and make a reference for it, it displays the following error and does not allow me to do this. [11:56:16] This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed.

Please release my access and remove me from the restriction or send me the method of requesting to remove the blocking so that I can create a new item with a reference. [11:56:18] please help me [11:56:19] Thanks [11:57:46] This problem has been created for a long time and it has caused me problems, and imdb is asking me to send the wiki data, but the wiki data is not registered for me, and this is an important problem. [11:58:48] Please open access to this name because I need it and arrangements have been made with the directors I worked with and they are waiting for my wikidata account. [12:00:01] admin@wikidata [12:10:34] Hello [12:10:34] Excuse me, is there an admin from Wikidata who can help me with something? [12:10:35] Community Verified icon [12:11:25] Until there is a bridge, there is no one to help you here, sorry [12:11:31] go to the telegram room [12:16:17] thanks [12:16:27] can you send me a telegram room link ? [21:38:35] here's something strange [21:38:42] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q930762 [21:38:53] look at the field "Dictionary of Canadian Biography ID" [21:39:00] that's a valid link [21:39:23] it leads right to the DoCB article on the subject [21:39:34] why is there a "bad format" warning icon? [21:45:18] a) it complains that there a two entries, b) the second is clearly expected to have a different format - and if you click that link it leads to a page with the same content as the first which claims that the correct permalnk is the first, so that seems to make sense too [21:45:45] * Dragonfly6-7 blinks [21:45:54] I can't quite follow your explanation, sorry [21:46:00] can you fix the entry? [21:46:19] i'd say just delete the second value [21:46:20] oh wait [21:46:22] I see, yes. [21:46:41] its quite weird that the web page has two urls for the same content, but doesnt redirect [21:47:10] This is true [21:47:27] so it could be that that's why the validation regex was made like that, so it clearly points people to use the form with the name in it [21:47:30] also, initially I did not see the two DoCB values together. They were separated. [21:47:30] which is odd. [21:47:31] * Dragonfly6-7 sherugs [21:47:34] shrugs [21:47:35] okay [21:47:36] thank you. [21:47:56] oh, also [21:48:23] if you look at the DoCB entry, one of Edenshaw's alternate names included a character that's not part of the standard english alphabet [21:49:21] ... oh wait, figured it out [21:49:23] * Dragonfly6-7 makes dismissive gesture
