Hello @Wiccio: , where can I find this reference in IMDb? Regards --Plexci (talk) 20:38, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Plexci. The bot uses IMDb as a source by taking the IMDb ID from the page on the site for which it is writing the property, then looks up the IMDb ID on Wikidata to find the respective entity, at which point it enters the assertion with the appropriate references. Initially I used based on heuristic (P887)inferred from IMDb ID database lookup (Q115288501) but following a personal doubt I was advised to handle references with stated in (P248)Internet Movie Database (Q37312) + IMDb ID (P345)IMDb ID. Now the doubt is coming back to me! What do you think is the best way to handle references, knowing what the bot's logic is? --Wiccio (talk) 05:53, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you give a reference it should be one, in this case IMDb is no reference for TMDB and in my opinion not in sense of Wikidata. -- Plexci (talk) 20:56, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I shall amend my previous (and future) entries following this structure of references: stated in (P248)The Movie Database (Q20828898) + matched by identifier from (P11797)Internet Movie Database (Q37312) + IMDb ID (P345)tt0078209. This way it should be more precise and at the same time understandable. --Wiccio (talk) 16:42, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a self reference and not more precise. This is botplay only and in my opinion only has the purpose of increasing the edit count and absolutely useless. -- Plexci (talk) 18:44, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why should I raise the edit counter? Do I win anything if I raise it?! My only aim is completeness, as I like data and dataentry. With my mentor we thought that was the best structure of references to include following your recommendation and taking into account how my bot works with information. If you think this is not correct either, please tell me how you would set the references, enlighten me. --Wiccio (talk) 05:47, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
