Welcome to Wikidata,
the free knowledge base with 14,129,790 items that anyone can edit

Welcome! Wikidata is a free knowledge base that can be read and edited by humans and machines alike. It is for data what Wikimedia Commons is for media files: it centralizes access to and management of structured data, such as interwiki references and statistical information. Wikidata contains data in every language supported by the MediaWiki software. You can read the introduction to learn more about Wikidata or visit the help portal. See Wikidata in action: View the item about Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. If you'd like to test out the Wikidata software, please use the sandbox.
