Category:PubChem ID (CID) different from Wikidata: Difference between revisions

Administrators: Please do not delete this category as empty!

This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.

• This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference (Appearance → Show hidden categories) is set.
• These categories can be used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing “attention en masse” (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone’s earliest convenience.
• These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).

Articles may be categorised here for several common reasons:

• The CID on Wikidata does not match the CID provided in {{PubChem}} or {{Chembox}}.
  • Fix: check the CIDs on both Wikipedia and Wikidata to confirm which is correct, and replace the incorrect CID either on Wikipedia or Wikidata as appropriate.
• The Wikipedia page is associated with the wrong Wikidata item, such as a tautomer, isomer, etc.
  • Fix: edit the list of Wikipedia articles at the Wikidata item to remove the Wikipedia article, then add it to the correct Wikidata item if it exists; if it does not exist, create a new Wikidata item, after confirming there is no Wikidata item at a synonymous title.
• The Wikidata item associated with the Wikipedia article has a duplicate, and the correct CID is associated with that duplicate.
  • Fix: merge the Wikidata items, after confirming they are true duplicates, rather than distinct tautomers, isomers, etc.
• The Wikipedia article is associated with the correct Wikidata item, but CID on Wikidata is associated with the wrong tautomer, isomer, etc.
  • Fix: swap the CIDs of the Wikidata items as appropriate.
• The Wikipedia page has the correct CID in {{Chembox}} but also includes uses of {{PubChem}} with different CIDs when mentioning other chemicals (eg. specific isomers or similar compounds).
