SJu created this task. 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.)
