Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Metacritic

Hi, i see you are importing review scores from Metacritic. Other places you are planning to import review scores from? Trade (talk) 16:45, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm already importing from Rotten Tomatoes regularly. Both factor in a deWiki template I'm testing. My script could be repurposed for other sources as well but it always requires some fiddling around. Eiragorn (talk) 17:09, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Would you have time to use the script to import from Trustpilot company ID (P5161)? There is an API you can use here. See here how i imagine it to look like.--Trade (talk) 18:10, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm very sorry but I have to decline. My method is only semi-automatic: I generate a list of update candidates, then run a script to scrape the data directly from the regular website to import them via a QuickStatements file. Because of this manual effort (and also to avoid suspect web traffic) I only do roughly 200 items at a time as soon as I feel an update necessary. For your matter a full fledged bot would be more appropriate. Eiragorn (talk) 14:23, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Could you just do 200 items at a time woth Trustpilot? Trade (talk) 10:48, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Is this really necessary?

Hello, you're adding the review scores by Metacritic again and again, even if there are no or only marginal changes like this one with no changes. This is not helpful. Regards -- Plexci (talk) 08:58, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

I update monthly for 90 days after release, roughly the time frame in which new reviews trickle in. And even if the score itself stays the same, the number of reviews might change and the date signals whether it is still current. That is a statistical difference! --Eiragorn (talk) 09:51, 12 September 2024 (UTC)
