This page is a short guide to editing Wikidata in relation to video games. To edit the Wikidata item for an article, navigate to that article, and look at the left hand sidebar. Under Tools should be a link for "Wikidata item". Click it to navigate to Wikidata and begin editing! For new articles, there may not be a Wikidata item yet, or the English page may not be linked to the Wikidata item. You should search on Wikidata to confirm that the item doesn't exist. If it does exist, edit the Wikidata item to add the interwiki link, and if it does not, click the "create a new item" link in the sidebar.

Many of our templates may also provide a link to Wikidata in the form of text such as "Edit on Wikidata" or the pen symbol:

Before beginning: Now that you're looking at Wikidata, are you surprised to see that nothing is there? If this is a brand new or empty wikidata item, please start by adding a new statement. For the property name, type instance Of. It should offer this as the first choice. For the value, use video game (Q7889) for video games, human (Q5) for a person, etc.
