[edit]

Q43627 but there are significant conflicts.

Examples of query where item shows duplication

  SELECT ?itemLabel ?item ?itemPublicationDate ?_platformLabel ?_platform ?_releaseDate WHERE {
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en". }
  ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q7889.
  ?item wdt:P577 ?itemPublicationDate.
  OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P2561 ?_name. }
  OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P400 ?_platform. }
  }
Can you clarify why you would merge these? Older "classic" Mac OS is quite different from Unix-based OS X -lineage. Compare (for example) Windows 9x -series and NT-series as different lineages sharing a common name. Ipr1 (talk) 01:33, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Should not be merged. This item is about one OS product line. But item Q43627 is about an OS family. This item is a member of item Q43627. Messerjokke79 (talk) 20:25, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Apple Silicon

[edit]

Why is this page locked? Anyway you should add Apple Silicon to the platforms. --93.173.230.14 20:31, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New software versions but page is locked

[edit]

I wanted to add the latest couple of software versions as I did with tvOS recently, but this page is locked. If it is locked for the general users, authorised users should update it more promptly. AndreasMWendt (talk) 12:43, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deprecation of libre licenses

[edit]

I deprecated a couple of libre licenses, since indeed some macOS components are released under these licenses, and these licenses must be stated in these Wikidata items; but, macOS itself indeed is not under GNU GPL, etc. Valerio Bozzolan (talk) 15:40, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
