It was started because most maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, productive, or unexpected ways .

Segítség kérés

Legutóbbi hozzászólás: 3 nappal ezelőtt1 hozzászólás1 résztvevő

Kedves Admin! Tegnapi nap folyamán megszerettem volna nézni, hogy tényleg szerkeszthető e a wiki és csak egy pontot tüntettem el a mondat végén, amit már bánok. Megjelent az IP-m, mert figyelmetlenségből nem jelentkeztem be. Itt az oldal: https://hu.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruszina_Szabolcs Kérem szépen, hogy az érintett szerkesztést rejtsd el a nyilvános nézetből (revízió-elfedés), adatvédelmi okokból. Nagyon megköszönöm, és nem fog ilyen előfordulni többet. Babcsinta ^vita 2025. május 11., 11:32 (CEST)Válasz

For more details please see Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split.
