Hi! I am looking currently for true duplicates and merge them. It seems that the rest of Dutch true duplicates are the template-pages created by you, see https://w.wiki/4Fif. Would you like to merge them yourself?

That's a nice query, and full of true mergable items. Too much work to be done manually, if you don't have a way to merge them with a script or a tool, then I will figure out how to do that. If I remember well, I merged soccer players with QuickStatements, so probably I can merge these too.

I don't have a tool for that.

I am curious how it was possible to create five identical items Q98375316-Q98375320 with quckstatements v.2.0. Is it a bug in quickstatements, do you know?

I don't know either. I use PetScan for edits like this, and since a while that is using QuickStatements. It might be a caching issue somehow.

When you create lines like MERGE|Q123|Q321 and feed those to QuickStatements, it will merge Q123 into Q321, leaving a redirect from Q123 into Q321. With the output of your query I can re-shape this easily in a spread sheet (or NotePad++) into this format. Then merging will be a 10 minute job, without error prone copy/paste actions.

That would be great, thank you!

The only issue I need to resolve first ... every item is twice in the list now ... one A->B and on the other line B->A. This is not going to work just like that. But I will work around that somehow.

RShigapov (talkcontribs)

Yeah. Even more than twice if the number of duplicates is more than two.
