Merge and expand?
editI propose to merge all the list in one table, specifying the prefecture, town/area, purpose of the dam and some basic information about them. The merge would be quite easy to do, but maybe it would take a while to fill in all the information. Does anybody know if there is a way to do it from Wikidata? Waiting for opinions or suggestions. --Ita140188 (talk) 06:38, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
- I see no problem with a sortable list but it would take awhile. I have never used Wikidata in that sense and when making tables, I manually enter the data from each article. About 7 prefectures are not represented on this list. When updating this list, I used the templates here as a reference.--NortyNort (Holla) 15:37, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
- @Ita140188: I've made a start with building a table at List of dams in Japan#Hokkaidō. Is this what you had in mind? We can easily add more columns, such as height, length, etc. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:44, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- @NortyNort in case you are interested? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:25, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- The amount of dams in Japan certainly warrants prefecture lists but I do not have the time for such an endeavor.--NortyNort (Holla) 00:48, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

- @MSGJ: Hello Martin, I think you removed all the list and replaced it with a signle template. In mobile phone, links to the list wont appear (could you check it too by loading this page). I suggest to keep the list in this article in a form of simple list, and a separate detailed list by prefecture as you have been creating. That way, it would be visible to all user and it will require less clicks to reach the desired dam page. Best! nirmal (talk) 00:47, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Do you mean the links to the prefecture lists? I will check now ... — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 06:21, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Okay yes, I agree. We need to put a list of prefecture lists on this article — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 06:36, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
Comment
editAll I wanted was the number of dams, but the info was not here — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.219.208.127 (talk) 16:33, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
- At the time of writing we have 1737 dams recorded on Wikidata. Some of these may be duplicates ... — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:57, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
