How does one add new items to this article?

I want to add a section for Papua New Guinea, but how do I know how to do it? --Bduke (talk) 11:16, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean add a section (use level 2 heading) or an entry to the table? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:50, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to assume you meant the latter. It will depend on whether or not there is currently a Wikipedia article for the society or not.

If there is an article, then press "wikidata item" in the side bar. In the top line there is a number in brackets preceded by Q. This is called the QID. Copy it to your clipboard.
If there is not yet an article, then it would be worth checking Wikidata to see if it has an entry or not. Type the name of the organisation at [[:wikidata:Special:Search|] to see if anything comes up. If so, copy the QID as described above.
If there is no entry for the society, then you create a new one at Special:NewItem and add some brief details. Then copy the QID of the new item.

Now you can add a new entry to a table, by using the code {{Wdtable row/org|qid=Qnnnn}} where nnn is replaced with QID number. I hope this makes sense, but I can help if needed. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:11, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have only just come back to this. I am now an old man and I can not figure out the above. Two items that need to be added are The Institute of Chemists PNG and Institute of Chartered Chemists of Nigeria. Can somebody add these? --Bduke (talk) 21:48, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I wondered if you had forgotten about this! For the former you can add {{Wdtable row/org|qid=Q104865443}} and for the latter try {{Wdtable row/org|qid=Q21015747}} — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:56, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. I have done that. --Bduke (talk) 23:34, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
