Author Disambiguator is a tool for editing the authors of works recorded in Wikidata. The tool was developed as part of the m:WikiCite initiative, and is partially coordinated with the Scholia project that provides visual representations of the scholarly literature based on what can be found in Wikidata. As of October 2020 Scholia statistics showed Wikidata contained data for over 36 million scholarly articles, for which authors were represented as simple strings (the auteur ou autrice (chaîne) (P2093) property) in 133 million instances, and as links to author items (the auteur ou autrice (P50) property) about 19 million times. Author item relations allow for much richer analysis and tracing of relationships between researchers and their works, institutions, etc. The aim of this tool is to assist in converting those strings into links to author items as efficiently and easily as possible.
