• I left another note concerning a global blacklist entry you implemented that does not seem to be having the desired effect. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 05:13, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

 Done Thanks for the extra prod, last week was a disaster. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:40, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

DAOO example

hi, I've been working on Mary Cecil Allen who has an entry in the DAOO. what would the Wikidata identifier for DAAO be for her? I haven't used these before. do I just add them to the bottom of the article? (I saw another editor added a different id so could copy that example). thanks Kathodonnell (talk) 07:50, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kathodonnell: Ooooooo, someone saw my message :-))), thanks for asking. They get added at Wikidata adding the property DAAO identifier and the target is mary-cecil-allen. I haven't worked on adding them into the {{authority control}} infobox yet (real life interruptus) to get them to reflect back. I will try and do that tonight.

If you are ever unsure with the identifiers you can look at the page for the property and look at the formatter url, and for d:Property:P1707 it is http://www.daao.org.au/bio/$1 where like templates $1 is the corresponding bit of the url to add. — billinghurst sDrewth 08:49, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

thanks, no rush. sorry, I'm still not sure what I need to add to the article. the DAOO page is in references though, maybe that's enough. Kathodonnell (talk) 08:57, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Ah, maybe you are not aware of Wikidata, I have added the data to d:Q6779194, so that is now done; and I have requested the update of the authority control template. — billinghurst sDrewth 09:19, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

thanks! no, I haven't used wikidata. sorry, I thought this was something I needed to add to wikipedia (that's the only wiki* I've used). thanks for setting it up :) Kathodonnell (talk) 02:59, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
