Who taught the people who taught you?

Wikidata records who supervised whose doctorate. Type a name and this prints that chain: advisors upward in pink, students downward in blue.

this copy reads Wikidata alone: people and their doctoral advisors (P184). papers, terms and the ask dock need the local app.

this copy runs on the local app: people from Wikidata and two thesis repositories, papers and terms from OpenAlex, and a dock that answers over the sheet drawn.

your advisor is missing?

the sheet reads one Wikidata statement, doctoral advisor (P184), and nothing else. the record is thin before 1990 and outside Europe and North America, and an open ring is the end of the record, not evidence of no students. to add a link: find the student's item, add the statement doctoral advisor pointing at the advisor's item, and cite the thesis record. the sheet reads it on its next fetch.
