Thanks Magnus, I hadn't noticed this sync function.
When I open the sync page, it says "24 connections on Wikidata, but not
here". I clicked on "Update Mix'n'match", and after a while it says
"Done", but when I refresh the page, it still says there are 24
connections. When I started it said 27, then after one update it was 26,
then 24, but now I can't get it any lower. I wonder what's going on?
There may be items with YSO IDs on Wikidata that are not in Mix'n'match.
It also says "3 connections here, but not on Wikidata". When I click on
Update Wikidata, I get to the Quick Statements tool, with three
statements that I suppose would add the missing connections. But when I
click on "Do it" nothing happens. I also checked the 3 generated YSO ID
statements, but they were already in Wikidata, added several days ago!
When you say "nothing happens", did you scroll down? There's a bug that shows the manual again, so the edits are going on "below the fold".
The "diff" functionality for sync uses the Wikidata SPARQL interface, which might lack the odd statement. Or the Q item in Mix'n'match is now deleted, or a redirect, in which case editing won't work.
So something seems fishy here, the numbers don't quite add up and
apparently not everything can be synced between Mix'n'match and
Wikidata. But I think the important information got synced, so all is
(relatively) well.
Automation can only cope with so much human activity :-(
Part of the reason may be that there are a few YSO concepts that are
linked to from Wikidata entities using the same YSO ID property, but
these are not included in the "YSO Places" catalog in Mix'n'match
because they are not places. I suspect at least some of those "24
connections on Wikidata, but not here" may be like that - they don't
match any of the IDs in the YSO Places catalog.
