Some things to do

Short term edit

Maps edit

DACS edit

  • DACS ID Search
    • get the update files to Magnus for MnM Done
    • 50 or so old IDs still to track down. Reduced to 3 remaining

subclasses vs instance of edit

  • follow up on qy results from Project Chat (tractors etc)
  • terminal subclasses tinyurl.com/y9wq25wd
  • wine
  • discussion of "index mineral"
  • User:Jheald/subclasses
  • metaclass diagram
  • fix remaining food instances

cases of multiple listed building items linking to Commonscats edit

  • follow up on results from qy last year

London Underground edit

  • Circle line network query: tinyurl.com/y8hmeb2d -- rather a lot of connections missing
    Updated query, showing only current connections: tinyurl.com/yaqrwtl6
    Lokal's grapher: Whole tube; DLR; Piccadilly line

RAs edit

  • Dermod O'Brien (Q5262733) -- Hon RA or not? See talk page on :en. RA can be contacted via https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/contact-us
  • RA new IDs -- scrape to see how many existing IDs can be mapped to new ones, based on "named as" (which will need to be scraped). Also gather up other details. Start with RAs. Then matches from here. Then MnM catalogue.

Thesauruses edit

  • User:Jheald/thesauruses -- attempt to survey what's out there
    • User:Jheald/bmt
      • Take out existing dubious values. tinyurl.com/y83lzfpt Add "historic state" values.
    • User:Jheald/aat
      • Use Open Refine on current state of costume part of AAT thesaurus.
    • Extract Europeana costume thesaurus
    • Wikidata:Property proposal/broader concept
      • Experiment with using "Part of" as a qualifier. (advantage -- link search may still work)
      • Should allow path queries
      • Does it allow graph output, without messing up?
      • AAT test query: tinyurl.com/yctm5t2k

LoC thesauruses edit


Library of Congress classifications headings edit

    • would also be good case to populate new "broader concept" qualifier, when available

Equivalent class edit

geoshapes edit

  • DE election map: tinyurl.com/y79k2q5a
  • count by country: tinyurl.com/yb6vxy33
  • UK examples: tinyurl.com/y92xpn7l

MSBI edit

  • Worth looking up in MnM: tinyurl.com/y8v6qsg4

Commons links edit

  • Some sitelinks to galleries replaced by sitelinks to categories. All but about 4 should have P935s. -- discussion
  • A few P935s added for dab pages. About 350 dab pages do have sitelinks and P935s; the majority do not. -- See here
  • P373s -> sitelinks : tinyurl.com/y9r72244 (query 1); tinyurl.com/y998lmnr (based on Multichill)

BHL edit

    • add birth date / death date, work period dates, with reference
      • compare with dates from other sources.
    • Would be good if Art UK would syndicate their updates, to avoid the need to scrape suggested; not possible
  • Reflect to tracking pages
    • Check for old Q-numbers in the list, that have since been merged/redirected tinyurl.com/z6873fu
    • Update identifiers that have changed, for Q-numbers in the list -- some may have been missed
    • re-check for identifiers that exist on Wikidata ID, but not in the list -- this could be re-run
    • Remove duplicates, but regenerate ones which *do* have two identifers
    • re-do counts
    • examine Error 404s
    • Update changed identifiers that have no Wikidata ID
    • re-check for Commons cats
  • Mix'n'match
    • go through the new items that were added to the pages (to do from 1900)
    • items with no RKDs (esp 1850s?)


  • Update portal
    • live bubble charts to show progress ? <-- probably not possible
    • historical trend charts ?
  • Scripts
    • work around WDQ problem Done
    • automate ?

PASE edit

  • Check link syntax (email someone) contacted ?alternative found
    • Ask for URL form for numerical domesday person identifier contacted
  • Scrape templates and add statements <-- Andy Mabbett has already added ~ 900
    • check non-uniqueness <-- already checked by somebody else
    • check if any more still to do -- eg examples where more than one PASE template was on the same page
      • (but what then to do?)
  • PASE Domesday person -- see Wikidata:Property proposal/PASE Domesday person ID
  • PASE Domesday place -- see Wikidata:Property proposal/PASE Domesday place

Position within image edit

  • Ask Shonagon for tool that will find eg P180 = cat, or P180 = random, then challenge the user to find it
  • Try to persuade somebody to implement the formatting for the link (post a bug ?)
  • Image without border property: cf keep border property on Commons

Category analysis edit

Commons edit

  • Structured data
    • Categories: advantages of creating CommonsData items for categories? what props might such items contain?
    • Tricky cases, eg maps / engravings, where there may not be detailed Q-numbers on main wikidata
    • Where are the gaps in the initial proposal?
    • Comment at c:Commons_talk:Structured_data#Pages_update
  • Sitelinks & P373 survey
    • Update, work around WDQ
      • Use WD triples service for large downloads ?
    • Low-flying fruit to add more P373s (see queries on query page)
      • Problem: many of these time out (even ones that used to run)
  • Galleries blocking category sitelinks: only 476 w/o P910 have an associated commonscat tinyurl.com/ycrpjdfo
  • Creator template information
    • Dates ?
