Hoi,
Does anyone have a script that will give the Wikidata ID when a Wikipedia
article name is given ?
The simplest way by far is Special:ItemByTitle:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ItemByTitle/enwiki/Wau_Holland
will redirect to
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q72250
which references
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wau_Holland
Alternatively, you can use the API:
https://wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&sites=enwiki&ti…
Note that "title" in the output is the item ID (which is also the title of the
wikidata page).
