Wikidata: one reference with several statements counted as multiple references
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Create a program that tracks Wikidata
  • Add one reference to a tracked Wikidata item. Include several statements in the reference, e.g. reference URL and retrieved (diff)

Actual Results:

  • The Dashboard reports a number of references added equal to the number of statements added, even if they all belong to the same reference. Example – see Swedish Railway Museum where 1 reference was added, but 2 are reported

Expected Results:

  • One added Wikidata reference with multiple statements is reported as one reference

Event Timeline

Thanks for reporting this @Alicia_Fagerving_WMSE. We'll look into it soon. The references count is based on the item's features as interpreted by ORES, so this might indicate a bug with the ORES system or a bug in the Dashboard... I'm not yet sure which.
