Wikidata weekly summary #117

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

• Discussions
  • Improving the FAQ
  • Should we link to restricted access databases?
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Two new GuidedTours (aka interactive tutorials) have been released—we now have one on editing items and one on editing statements! Both tours are available from the Wikidata:Tours portal and feedback can be left on the talk page at Wikidata_talk:Tours. The work was a combined effort of User:Bene* and Outreach Program for Women intern User:Thepwnco.
  • We passed another milestone \o/ 10 million items now have an "instance of" or "subclass of" statement making it easy to tell what the item is about.
  • Last week to add some selfies. We need more!
  • Items with no image around you? Here you go! (change the number in the URL and click toggle markers) Thanks Magnus!
• Did you know?
  • Newest properties: GUI toolkit or framework, SFDb ID, non-native language spoken, nominated for, number of seats in legislature, Cycling Archives Cyclist ID, licensed to broadcast to, MusicBrainz series ID, script directionality, World Glacier Inventory ID, original combination, Foundational Model of Anatomy ID, bug report page, FCC Facility ID, convicted of
• Development
  • Bene* worked with the dev team this week. He pushed forward support for storing badges (eg featured article) on Wikidata and implemented the first two guided tours.
  • CTRL+ click and middle click on a search result in the entity selector now opens the result in a new tab.
  • Further progress on redirects
  • Fixed a number of annoyances with the entity selector
  • Continued work on mockups for new user interface
  • Investigated what issues come up if we make wikidata.org its own client. Things look good so we will probably enable it soonish. This will mean you can link Wikidata pages in items and access the data in them on other pages on Wikidata.
• Monthly Tasks
  • Fix a format or content violation for the World Register of Marine Species identifier (P850) property
  • Hack on one of these.
  • Help fix these items which has been flagged using Wikidata - The Game.
  • Help develop the next summary here!

Invalid IMDb identifiers

JhsBot (talk • contribs • logs) is adding invalid IMDb identifiers. See this edit for an example, and Special:AbuseFilter/17 for a clarification of how proper values for IMDb ID (P345) are formatted. Gabbe (talk) 09:22, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Ah, sorry about that. I didn't think about checking for length. It's only in four items though, and the identifiers actually work even though they lack the leading 0, but I'll fix them now nonetheless. Thanks for notifying me! Jon Harald Søby (talk) 10:07, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

automatisk beskrivelse

Hei. Hvordan fungerer dette? På Q327074 har din bot lagt til "østerriksk fotballspiller". Har den bare kombinert "country of citizenship" og "occupation" eller oversetter den fra beskrivelsen på et annet språk? I dette tilfellet kan det virke som han kanskje like godt kunne vært tsjekkoslovakisk eller evt. østerriksk og tsjekkoslovakisk. Ble bare nysgjerrig på hvordan boten opererer. Mvh. --Wikijens (talk) 09:54, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Ja, den kombinerer bare de feltene (men fungerer også om det er mange forskjellige yrkesfelt). Det er ikke heelt feilfritt, siden det kan være feil i datagrunnlaget (her hvilke utsagn elementet har), men i de aller aller fleste tilfeller blir resultatet noenlunde riktig. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 09:58, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Bra. Det er nok den mest effektive måten å få på plass beskrivelser. Fungerer den også hvis det er flere nasjonaliteter (f.eks. hvis nevnte eksempel også hadde hatt med Tsjekkoslovakia? Og til sist, "tillater" wikidata samme label og description for flere oppslag? --Wikijens (talk) 06:33, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Den funker ikke på flere nasjonaliteter, det blir for komplisert (skal f.eks. være norsk-kanadisk, mens kanadisk-norsk høres rart ut). Det gjelder uansett veldig få tilfeller. Den funker også på utvalgte yrker som er hardkoda i botten – det er bl.a. veldig få sports«yrker» og musikk«yrker» med, men jeg tenker å ta dem i en runde 2 når jeg er ferdig med denne (med denne farta på 100 redigeringer i minuttet blir det om… tre-fire uker kanskje).

Samme etikett og beskrivelse går ikke (da får man en feilmelding fra softwaren); jeg tror jeg kan gjøre det sånn at botten lager en loggfil dersom det skjer (for da er det jo overveiende sannsynlighet for at to elementer handler om samme person). Botten legger imidlertid ikke til label for elementer som ikke har artikler på norsk, siden det ofte er forskjellig fra språk til språk, men skal se om jeg kan få til en løsning på det også etter hvert. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 10:04, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Det virker som du har god kontroll. Jeg tar litt nå og da manuelt, men kan bli vanskelig å komme gjennom alt :-) --Wikijens (talk) 19:02, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Ja, ikke sant. Jeg har for øvrig laga et nytt skript som legger til etiketter (labels) for elementer som ikke har det – de blir tatt fra etikettene til hovedspråket i landet personen er fra (så tsjekkere vil få samme etikett som tsjekkisk, estere det samme som i estisk, osv.). Det tar også høyde for kongelige og andre med merkelige navn (f.eks. om de har «av» i etiketten, eller komma, som diverse markier har), så jeg mener den skal være relativt vanntett. Men den (og de andre oppgavene) er satt på vent nå, siden jeg (berettiga) fikk påpakk for ikke å ha fått godkjent alle oppgavene. Jeg er nok litt for vant med rutinene (eller mangelen på sådann...) på nowiki, men har nå posta forespørsler for alle oppgavene på WD:RFP, så når/hvis de blir godkjent setter jeg i gang igjen. :-) Jon Harald Søby (talk) 19:38, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Ja, angående human osv var du vel litt for rask, vi bør nok rydde det andre først. Jeg ordner mesteparten av feillenkingen og retter også på den aktuelle språkversjonen, så boten ikke importerer feilen på nytt. Men i noen tilfeller er det jo ikke feillenking, men at noen har brukt en SR-profil som referanse i en annen artikkel enn i biografien om denne personen. Jeg mener vi i disse tilfellene gjerne kan be disse subste malen i referansene. I mange tilfeller får de jo også feil tekst i referansen (XX på sports-reference, hvor XX er artikkelnavnet og ikke profilen lenken går til). Vi får se etterhvert hvordan det blir. Har som langsiktig prosjekt å få lagt til alle SR-profiler på wikidata. Har begynt her :-) --Wikijens (talk) 20:51, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Ja, med menneske tok jeg bare de som ligger under "Item instans av (P31) = menneske (Q5)" violations og satte dem som menneske, men det var en dårlig avgjørelse, rett og slett. Men det er jo ikke noen stor liste, så jeg skal få dobbeltsjekka dem ganske straks.

Ja, bruk av disse malene i referanser synes jeg er en uting. På engelsk Wikipedia har de jo en:Template:Cite sports-reference, jeg tror det er veien å gå for slik bruk. Spørsmålet er bare om andre wikipedier har samme standard for den typen maler (jeg kan ikke huske å ha sett noe slikt på nowiki).

Sånn apropos så sendte jeg en epost til Sports-Reference nå og spurte om jeg kunne få en databasedump til bruk i Wikidata. Har ikke noen store håp om at jeg kommer til å få det, men det hadde vært femmenalt om jeg fikk det, for da er det jo en massevis av ting vi kan legge inn – med en ordentlig kilde, og ikke bare «importert fra Wikipedia på engelsk», sånn som fødsels- og dødsdato og -sted, kjønn, og lignende. Når jeg tenker meg om så er jo hoveddelen av databasen deres om sportsstatistikk, men det er jo p.t. ikke så veldig relevant for Wikidata, så jeg bør kanskje spesifisere overfor dem at det er mest «metadata» jeg er interessert i. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 21:49, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Jeg har også sett dette med at kildene er "importert fra wikipedia på ....", men regner med at dette på sikt skal bli "ordentlige" kilder. Er programvaren klar for dette ennå? Hvordan legger man det i så fall til? --Wikijens (talk) 22:18, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Kilder? Kilder er egentlig bare en annen type utsagn, som er «underutsagn» av de man legger dem til i. Så man kan legge til hva som helst, men ikke at det er noe spesielt smart. De typene jeg har sett mest brukt er imported from Wikimedia project (P143), stated in (P248) og reference URL (P854). Et eksempel der jeg har brukt sistnevnte er dødsdatoen her: Børre Knudsen (Q4587623). Jon Harald Søby (talk) 22:29, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Skjønner. Virker som det meste kommer på plass med wikidata, bare tar litt tid. --Wikijens (talk) 22:38, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello.

I know you are part of the Meta Language Committee. It said that if I wanted to join contact a member. Can I be added to the list? Thanks.

Wrong and unapproved edits by your bot

Hello, I have noticed that your bot, JhsBot, does a lot of work, for which it is not approved (like adding labels, descriptions, and properties other than IMDb ID (P345)). Among those unapproved edits, some are wrong. It has added first Sports-Reference.com Olympic athlete ID (archived) (P1447) and then later instance of (P31) human (Q5) to list items such as list of 1992 Winter Olympics medal winners (Q15408590). You should take care not to add such claims to lists, and you should request permission for that kind of bot work before doing it. Regards, Dipsacus fullonum (talk) 07:54, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

I was given the impression in Wikimania that for some simple tasks such as autolist2 extra approval wasn't needed, but they might have been wrong. I'll file some more requests, and have put all activity on hold. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 09:17, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

@Dipsacus fullonum, all the instance of human errors were because I put this list through autolist2, without checking it properly beforehand (which I normally always do). I have gone through all the items and fixed the wrong ones. Most of them happened because an article about a person in one wiki linked to a disambiguation page in another wiki, so I fixed that as well of course.

Also, I filed bot requests for all the tasks I've been running. My apologies again for not following the correct procedure before. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 22:57, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Well, mistakes can always happen. The important thing is that they get fixed again when found, and hopefully not repeated too often. Thank you for taking care of this. I will support your bot requests. Regards, Dipsacus fullonum (talk) 08:43, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Men Jon Harald da!
