SJu added a project: Wikidata.
Restricted Application added a subscriber: Aklapper.
TASK DESCRIPTION
When an Wikidata item is to be split into two related items, or any closely
related item should be created, usually some property values need to be moved
or copied to the another (new) item. However, if the value has difficultly
described references or qualifiers, this information is often lost because it
is too laborious to transmit all this information one by one thoroughly.
It would be very helpful, if the entire property block (including references
and properties) would be possible to copy or move to another item page. We
already have a similar useful and handy tool here (the green arrow in circle)
for moving interproject links. Could these green arrows also be added to
properties and identifiers, and split into two variants: move/copy for that
usage?
An example: we have one item for a "castle ground with a church" and we want
to create separate items for the abandoned castle ground and for the (newer)
church at that place. However, part of properties and references is identical
for both items.
An another way should be the possibility to copy (clone, reproduce) the whole
item page with the intention that subsequently both content-identical pages
will be modified separately. This can be useful even if the user is creating a
series of items with very similar content. (Unlike all other Wikimedia
projects, Wikidata does not enable to copy an entire page and edit it before
saving as a new page.)
