Step 6: Upload to Wikidata via QuickStatements
To upload references to Wikidata, use the QuickStatements tool, mentioned before and available at https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/ along with Zotero. Begin in Zotero by:
- Selecting all the references you have imported and want to upload to Wikidata, and
- Clicking on “Edit” then “Copy as Wikidata QuickStatements” to copy the commands to the clipboard.
Then in the QuickStatements tool:
- Click on “Log in” at the right top corner to log in to your account,
- Click on “New batch” and paste the commands into the text field, and
- Click on “Import V1 commands.” Look over the first articles to be uploaded, per Wikidata community guidelines, before clicking on “Run.”
It might take some time for QuickStatements to upload the references to Wikidata, depending on the number of commands and the QuickStatements server itself. Help on how to use QuickStatements is available at www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:QuickStatements. Beware of the following possible mistakes and pitfalls: if the website of origin of your reference is not well structured, Zotero might import the items with duplicated information; Zotkat translator is not fully developed yet and some elds are not translated into QuickStatements commands, for example, the license; some properties present in Zotero do not yet exist in Wikidata and therefore are not imported.
