Wikidata weekly summary #50

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
    • Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
    • Fixed the prev/next links in diff view (bugzilla:45821)
    • d:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel now lets you filter by language and entity type
  • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
  • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
  • Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
  • Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
  • Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
  • Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
  • Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
  • Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
  • Support for multi-line references in diff view
  • Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
  • Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
  • Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
  • Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)
• Discussions/Press
  • Denny had a look at some data about Wikidata
• Events
  • 3rd Media Web Symposium 2013
  • Wikidata trifft Archäologie
  • SMWCon Spring NYC
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Join us for the Amsterdam and Wikimania hackathon and Wikimania
  • Too many items with the same label and no description? Terminator helps you hunt them all down and clean them up. Also check out the top 1000
  • Interested in the distribution of books by genre on Wikidata and similar things? WikidataStats can help
  • d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot needs input from more people
  • Detailed list of bots
  • Collecting information about creating a bot
  • We’ve crossed Q8000000
• Did you know?
  • When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hack on one of these
  • Still looking for the right way to contribute for you? Have a look at d:Wikidata:Contribute

Wikidata weekly summary #51

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • The first 11 Wikipedias can now include data from Wikidata in their articles (If you want to see it in action see the infobox at it:Torino)
  • Worked on automatic summaries for statements
  • Worked on making properties accessible from the client using their label so you can use {{#property:executive director}} instead of {{#property:p169}} for example
  • Made qualifiers ready for the next deployment (Please test. See details further down.)
  • Selenium tests for qualifiers
  • Fixed some issues related to QUnit testing
  • Worked on improved handling and code design of multiple snak lists in the UI (qualifiers, references)
• Discussions/Press
  • Denny wrote down how we’re planning to support queries on Wikidata. Feedback welcome.
  • Proposal for a vandalism policy
  • Now that improvements for references have been deployed here’s a discussion on the best way to use them. (You can see an example of how it could be used in the source for “CAS registry number” on d:Q153)
  • Should Wikidata have featured items?
  • RFC about restricting the ability to create properties to some users
  • Heise.de reporting about deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias
  • Report about a collaboration event between Wikipedians and archeologists
• Events
  • Newline 2013
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • We’re currently carefully monitoring performance after the deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias. There seem to be a few small issues. As soon as they are resolved we'll deploy on English Wikipedia. All other Wikipedias are planned to follow very soon after that.
  • Bye and a big thank you to Anja, Silke, Jens and John who are leaving the development team at the end of the month and will work on other cool things. You’ll be missed!
  • Ever had any doubt about the possibilities of Wikidata? Talk to Wiri!
  • We worked on reducing the time it takes for Wikidata edits to show up in the Wikipedias and made some progress. Daniel posted an analysis
  • We started running a script on the database in order to make search on Wikidata case-insensitive. This should be finished in a few days and then search should be more useful.
  • In addition to the above we have rolled out a new search box that suggests items. This should also make finding things on Wikidata a lot easier for you.
  • We’re making some progress with Internet Explorer 8 support but there are a lot of issues with it (some outside our control). It’s unclear at the moment how much we can improve it still without spending an unjustified amount of time on it. You can follow the progress at bugzilla:44228
  • Edits are now auto-confirmed for users with more than 50 edits and account age 4 days: bugzilla:46461
  • Do you need old-style interwiki links for a sister project for example? This is for you
  • The Wikimedia Foundation applied as a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code again. We have proposed some Wikidata projects for students to take up if the Foundation is accepted again. At least 2 other organisations that applied also propose Wikidata ideas. More details on that once we know which organisations are accepted.
  • Denny hacked together a tree of life based on data from Wikidata
  • Wikidata was added to wikipulse
  • A template to retrieve data from Wikidata if no local value is set
• Did you know?
  • If you need to merge two items d:Help:Merge explains how
• Open Tasks for You
  • See note at the end of this weekly summary
  • Help test qualifiers (m:Wikidata/Notes/Data model primer#Qualifiers - see also example statements there) on the test wiki so we can roll it out with the next release
  • Did you file a bug report for Wikidata or did someone else do it for you? Please take a minute to check if it is still valid. (Thanks for filing it btw!)
  • Add some missing descriptions to those items with the same label?
  • Hack on one of these

Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on this discussion page? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk)

Wikidata weekly summary #52

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • The first year is over. Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping to build Wikidata and making it more than we could possibly have hoped for already. <3
  • Put a lot of work into improved support for Internet Explorer 8
  • Worked on improving recent changes code in client
  • Finished valueview refactoring. Created new extension “ValueView”
  • Implemented string formatter
• Discussions/Press
  • RFC for defining the bureaucrats role on Wikidata
  • RFC about statements for items related to software
• Events
  • upcoming: GLAM-Wiki 2013
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Deployment of phase 2 on English Wikipedia is currently planned for April 8. The remaining Wikipedias are scheduled for April 10. As usual this might change if we run into problems along the way.
  • There is now a page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.
  • There’s now a badge you can add to Wikipedia articles to indicate there is data about it on Wikidata
  • We hit Q10000000
  • A Wikidata item in the wild ;-)
• Did you know?
  • There are a number of task forces that take care of specific jobs or topics on Wikidata
  • You can get database dumps to play with
  • There are a lot of stats about Wikidata on http://stats.wikimedia.org
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hit a random item and add a missing source?
  • Hack on one of these

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Wikidata weekly summary #53

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
  • Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)
  • Worked on using Redis for job queue to improve the lag situation even further
  • Created new Wikibase Query extension for phase 3 functionality
  • Autocomments & Autosummaries for SetClaim module
  • Worked on the GeoCoordinate parser
• Events/Press
  • right now: GLAM-WIKI 2013
• Discussions
  • The RFC about bureaucrats was closed
  • RfC about policy for translation admins
  • We need feedback from contributors working on references addition or having tried to add references to statements. Please comment about your problems or your trials at d:Help:Sources
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
  • Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
  • There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
  • If you're a student and interested in coding on Wikidata consider applying for Google Summer of Code.
  • There is a new user right: property creators
  • There is now a page to request deletion of a property
  • We now have Bureaucrats
  • Reasonator was improved and extended (1 2)
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hack on one of these
  • Help draft the next weekly summary

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Liste von Automobilmarken – ein neuer Versuch?

Hallo,
vor einiger Zeit hattest du versucht, die Liste von Automobilmarken in ein sinnvolleres Format zu bringen. Auch die Hauptautoren der Liste sehen mittlerweile Handlungsbedarf, zurzeit wird eine Umstrukturierung angedacht.
Bevor ich mich dort einbringe, möchte ich bei dir anfragen, wie du einen erneuten Einsatz deines Bots einschätzen würdest, wenn man ein etwas abgespecktes Ergebnis anpeilt. Ist es denkbar, ausschließlich Daten aus dem zweiten Abschnitt (Liste von Automobilmarken#Fahrzeughersteller nach Staaten geordnet) zu ziehen? Dann würde eine Zuordnung der Marken zu einem Staat einfacher fallen, weil sie bereits in einem jeweiligen Unterabschnitt stehen.
Als Endergebnis schwebt mir eine sortierbare Tabelle vor, die (vorerst) aus drei Spalten besteht:
1. Spalte: „Name“ (also alles, was vor der Klammer steht, sofern diese überhaupt vorhanden ist)
2. Spalte: „Staat“ (Zuordnung gemäß des Unterabschnitts, in dem die Marke steht)
3. Spalte: „weitere Informationen“ (für alles, was hinter dem Namen steht, also ab der Klammer)
Mich interessiert zunächst lediglich, ob das deiner Meinung nach durchführbar wäre. Sofern du grünes Licht gibst, würde ich den Vorschlag dann erst mal zur Diskussion stellen. Vielen Dank im Voraus für deine Antwort. -- Brakehorsepower (Diskussion) 21:10, 8. Apr. 2013 (CEST)

Das sollte auf jeden Fall machbar sein. Ich denke, man könnte die Einträge relativ gut parsen und daraus eine Tabelle erstellen. --- Bene ^D_i^s_k^u_s^s_i^o_n --- 19:37, 9. Apr. 2013 (CEST)

Joyent

Hallo Bene*!

Die von dir angelegte Seite Joyent wurde zum Löschen vorgeschlagen, bitte lies dazu die Löschregeln. Möglicherweise mangelt es der Seite an Qualität und/oder vielleicht ist – im Falle eines Artikels – die enzyklopädische Relevanz nicht eindeutig im Artikel erkennbar oder es gibt andere Löschgründe. Ob die Seite tatsächlich gelöscht wird, wird sich im Laufe der Löschdiskussion entscheiden, wo du den Löschantrag mit den konkreten Löschgründen findest. Bedenke bei der argument- und nicht abstimmungsorientierten Diskussion bitte, was Wikipedia nicht ist. Um die Relevanz besser erkennen zu lassen und die Mindestqualität zu sichern, sollte primär die zur Löschung vorgeschlagene Seite weiter verbessert werden. Das wiegt als Argument deutlich schwerer als ein ähnlich aufwändiger Beitrag in der Löschdiskussion.

Du hast gewiss einiges an Arbeit hineingesteckt und fühlst dich vielleicht vor den Kopf gestoßen, weil dein Werk als Bereicherung dieser Enzyklopädie gedacht ist. Sicherlich soll aber mit dem Löschantrag aus anderer Sichtweise ebenfalls der Wikipedia geholfen werden. Bitte antworte nicht hier, sondern beteilige dich ggf. an der Löschdiskussion. Grüße, Xqbot (Diskussion) 03:38, 27. Sep. 2013 (CEST) (Diese Nachricht wurde automatisch durch einen Bot erstellt. Falls du zukünftig von diesem Bot nicht mehr über Löschanträge informiert werden möchtest, so trage dich hier ein.)

I am happy to help anyone who wants to take over get up to speed of course. Please contact me if you'd like to take this over.

• DevelopmentWord from John
  • To give this section some life, since the development team had their holidays last week meaning nothing really got done (let them have one week off at least), I'll say a few words. 2014 is a new year and thus a new start, over the last year Wikidata celebrated its first birthday which brought reflection over what Wikidata had accomplish. Therefore I want to use the start of 2014 to reflect what Wikidata can do. For my personal over view see this page. For the summary, while it is meant to be a weekly simple update, I feel this can be used a lot more effective to put across not only what happened on Wikidata but things about Wikidata on other wikis, I am hoping to start a section over this within the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions for the summary, feel free to drop me a message at meta or Wikidata. Thanks.
