Request to replace the superseded WorldCat Identities ID for humans with the WorldCat Entities ID, or delete the superseded WorldCat Identities ID when the WorldCat Entities ID is present (2024-01-09)

Request date: 9 January 2024, by: Peaceray

This is a link to the query to find a human with WorldCat Identities ID (superseded) but no WorldCat Entities:

Task description
  1. For a human with both a WorldCat Identities ID (superseded) (P7859) & a WorldCat Entities ID (P10832), delete the superseded WorldCat Identities ID.
  2. For a human with a WorldCat Identities ID (superseded) (P7859) but no WorldCat Entities ID (P10832), query that WorldCat Identities ID. WorldCat will redirect most, but certainly not all, of the time to the new WorldCat Entities ID. If found, insert the WorldCat Entities ID & delete the superseded WorldCat Identities ID.

Discussion
I agree. P7859 statements should only be deleted if a P10832 is there.
There is an additional complication. I have placed multiple instances of WorldCat Identities ID (superseded) (P7859) when each applied to the same item. WorldCat has not been careful about consolidating duplicate items; this not only applies to the Identities ID but to the OCLC control number (P243) as well. However, since clicking through on WorldCat Identities ID that have no corresponding WorldCat Entities lead to a page not found message, we should consider whether we should delete all WorldCat Identities ID (superseded) (P7859) when a WorldCat Entities ID (P10832) entity is present.
Also, perhaps we should not limit this to humans. I just thought that humans were the most important to process first. Peaceray (talk) 19:34, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Ameisenigel: For those P7859 values that resolved to a page with a P10832 value, most of the replacements have been done in the manner specified by @Epìdosis: on the property deletion page. For those which led to an error page, however, I have not yet begun removing those. Mahir256 (talk) 20:22, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Task description

The bot should replace occurrences of reference URL (P854)http://www.idref.fr/$1 or reference URL (P854)https://www.idref.fr/$1 used in references with stated in (P248)IdRef (Q47757534) and IdRef ID (P269)$1.

This should ensure a more robust referencing in the (unlikely) case of IdRef changing its URL. --Jahl de Vautban (talk) 17:56, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to Google Cache URLs (2024-02-11)

Task description
  • See work done at Enwiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Link_rot/URL_change_requests#Google_cache
    • There is a tool for parsing GC links to find the original source URL: https://github.com/greencardamom/Googcacheparse
    • Each Google Cache link logically has 4 possible outcomes:
      1. Source URL is live: Remove the GC link and replace with the source URL
      2. Source URL is dead and archive URL is not available: Remove the GC link and replace with the source URL and a dead link template
      3. Source URL is dead and archive URL is available: Remove the GC link and replace with the archive URL of the source URL
      4. Source URL is dead and archive URL of the Google Cache URL is available: Replace with the archive of the Google Cache URL

Make any adjustments to the above for Wikidata. Experience has shown #1 is most common and #4 is least common.

Since I already did this for Enwiki and have a bot programmed for it, I might be of help. I don't have time to develop a bot for Wikidata. If someone wants to send me data in a file extracted from Wikidata, which I process, then you can take the output file and feed it back into Wikidata, that would be fine also.

Request to change country of citizenship from Denmark to Kingdom of Denmark (2024-06-11)

Task description

Replace country of citizenship (P27) value Denmark (Q35) with Kingdom of Denmark (Q756617)

Discussion

While adding people with Danish citizenship to Wikidata, I saw my entries being flagged with the none-of constraint (Q52558054) and came across this discussion. I have no opinion on it, but if the consensus is that Kingdom of Denmark (Q756617) should be used instead of Denmark (Q35) then a bot should update those thousands of entries.

@Pasleim, @MisterSynergy: DeltaBot does the same already for Netherlands (Q55), so this would be easy to add. I agree with the request. Samoasambia ✎ 22:09, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The DeltaBot job for the Netherlands is defined in User:DeltaBot/fixClaims/jobs. Adding another one shouldn't be much of a problem. We currently have ~14.3k items with Q756617 as P27 value, and ~36.8k items with Q35 as P27 value. —MisterSynergy (talk) 22:27, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request to change the format of DrugBank ID (P715) in references (2024-06-27)

edit

Request date: 27 June 2024, by: Wostr

Link to discussions justifying the request
Task description

Earlier this year the format of DrugBank ID (P715) has been updated from (SALT\d{1}|CAT\d{1})?\d{5} to DB(SALT\d|CAT\d)?\d{5} (i.e. including the "DB" = "DrugBank" prefix). Recently I've updated all main statements using QuickStatements, but there are many uses of DrugBank ID (P715) in the references sections.

As I can't do it easily in QS (I don't know how), I'd like to ask a bot operator to update DrugBank ID (P715) values that are present in the references sections. An example is here: all DrugBank IDs that match \d{5} should be updated to include the "DB" prefix (00898 → DB00898).

Request to change URLs pointing to nomisweb.co.uk (2024-07-10)

Request date: 10 July 2024, by: Ælfgar

Task description

Hi,

The website nomisweb.co.uk is used as a reference on many items for British places. However, they have changed their URLs and all the links are broken now. They used to look like this:

https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/reports/localarea?compare=E04009659

And now they look like this:

https://www.nomisweb.co.uk/sources/census_2011_ks/report?compare=E04009659

All URLs need to be updated by replacing the reports/localarea bit with sources/census_2011_ks/report.
