href="/wiki/User:Magnus_Manske" title="User:Magnus Manske">Magnus Manske</a>, that can edit Wikidata items, based on a simple set of text commands. The tool can add and remove statements, labels, descriptions and aliases; as well as add statements with optional qualifiers and sources. The command sequence can be typed in the import window or created in a spreadsheet or text editor and pasted in. It can also be created by external code like Lua, called from a template and passed as a URL. Data edited in <a href="/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Tools/OpenRefine" title="Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Tools/OpenRefine">OpenRefine</a> can also be exported to the QuickStatements format. </p>

This has several advantages: </p> <ul><li>Even if you close your browser or if your computer crashes, the statements will be executed until the last one.</li> <li>You can launch several batches in parallel, without slowing down your computer. (The batches seem to be run sequentially)</li> <li>You get a unique URL for your batch, to which you can refer later. This page shows some statistics about your run.</li> <li>To see all your recent batches click "Your last batch". To see everybody else's recent batches click <a class="external text" href="https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batches">"Last batches"</a></li> <li>You or a project admin can stop your batch by going to its URL. For instance, if it is realized that the batch is erroneous and you are offline, an admin can stop it immediately (by going to the individual batch page), rather than having to block you.</li> <li>If you discover that something went wrong, you can revert the whole batch afterwards</li></ul> <p><b>But there are also drawbacks:</b> </p> <ul><li>It takes a few more clicks, so as a rule of thumb, if you only have 10 or fewer statements, it's better to run them in normal mode.</li> <li>Depending on how busy the server is it might take time for your batch to start so that checking the results might not be possible immediately.</li> <li>There is a limit on the number of statements in a batch, and batches with more statements do not load properly (showing blank page and revolving circle). For simpler statements, the maximum seems to be around 25 thousand statements per batch, but it is much smaller for more complex statements.</li> <li>Batch mode seems to work well for simple statements without qualifiers or references, but more complex statements (where, for example, the successful addition of a qualifier depends on the base statement being already present), there seems to be a much higher error rate.</li></ul> <p>Before running a batch, it can be a good idea to run a few commands directly in non-batch mode to get a good view of what is being done. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Using_batch_mode" data-mw-thread-id="h-Using_batch_mode-Using_QuickStatements_version_2_in_batch_mode"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Using_batch_mode-Using_QuickStatements_version_2_in_batch_mode"></span>Using batch mode<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Using_batch_mode-Using_QuickStatements_version_2_in_batch_mode"></span></h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Help:QuickStatements&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Using batch mode"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ol><li>Prepare your statement normally as described in the <a href="#Using_QuickStatements_version_2">Using QuickStatements version 2</a> section above</li> <li>Instead of pressing "Run", press the "Run in background" button.</li> <li>"Your last batches" will show a list of the most recent batches run by you, with statistics.</li></ol> <p>The following statistical values are available: </p> <ul><li><span style="background-color:#00AA00;color:white;border:3px solid #00AA00;">DONE</span>: The number of statements that were successfully run</li> <li><span style="background-color:#CC0000;color:white;border:3px solid #CC0000;">ERROR</span>: The number of statements that failed</li> <li><span style="background-color:#0000EE;color:white;border:3px solid #0000EE;">INIT</span>: The number of statements left to run</li> <li><span style="background-color:#2e86c1;color:white;border:3px solid #2e86c1;">RUN</span>: The number of statements being run right now</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Running_QuickStatements_by_URL" data-mw-thread-id="h-Running_QuickStatements_by_URL-Running_QuickStatements"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Running_QuickStatements_by_URL-Running_QuickStatements"></span>Running QuickStatements by URL<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Running_QuickStatements_by_URL-Running_QuickStatements"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Help:QuickStatements&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Running QuickStatements by URL"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:QuickStatements_-_V2_-_example_3.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/QuickStatements_-_V2_-_example_3.png/300px-QuickStatements_-_V2_-_example_3.png" decoding="async" width="300" height="110" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/QuickStatements_-_V2_-_example_3.png/450px-QuickStatements_-_V2_-_example_3.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0b/QuickStatements_-_V2_-_example_3.png/600px-QuickStatements_-_V2_-_example_3.png 2x" data-file-width="788" data-file-height="290"/></a><figcaption>What you should see if you click on the <a class="external text" href="https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/v1=Q37887397%7CP214%7C%2296480189%22%7CS143%7CQ565">example link</a> in this section</figcaption></figure> <p>An alternative way of communicating with QuickStatements is to use a URL instead of cutting and pasting commands into the import window.
