Wikipedia disambiguation page edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Please be more careful. You add the incorrect description to the disambiguation pages, for example: Q102264, Q2500668. These descriptions should be added to the articles Q332 and Q324. --Art-top (talk) 17:46, 7 February 2013 (UTC) Yes, sorry – I found the wrong ones due to the brocken search and didn't realised the where wrong. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 17:56, 7 February 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wikidata weekly summary #53 edit

 
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
  • 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

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 #52 edit

 
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
  • 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 ;-)

Wikidata weekly summary #51 edit

 
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
  • 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?
  • 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)

Hi,
kannst du das nächste mal, wenn du eine neue Eigenschaft erstellst, wie hier geschehen, diese bitte hier eintragen? --Toru10 (talk) 22:42, 23 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

  1. Habe ich: unter "6.5 Products and services (incl. software products)" warum diese Liste Software als Term und nicht als Werk klassifiziert ist unklar und umstritten. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 23:10, 23 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Ups, tut mir leid, ist mir nicht aufgefallen. Habs auch gerade entdeckt gehabt! Hatte ich unter Werk gesucht. Wieso denn Term? Passt ja mal gar nicht. --Toru10 (talk) 08:26, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Ja, versteh ich auch nicht. Hab auch schon mal versucht im Project chat eine Diskussion dazu anzuleiern, ist aber nicht weit gekommen. Vlt sollte man ein RFC starten. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 16:10, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
Das wird noch zu mehr Problemen führen, wie bereits wieder geschehen. Da hilft auch eine genaue Analyse der Liste meistens nichts, da man das nie unter term vermuten würde. Ist mir ja auch geschehen. Ich hatte mich noch gewundert, warum es noch keinen Abschnitt für Software gibt. Und ich hatte daher extra mich noch mehrmals vergewissert. --Toru10 (talk) 17:55, 24 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wikidata weekly summary #50 edit

 
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
  • Events
    • 3rd Media Web Symposium 2013
    • Wikidata trifft Archäologie
    • SMWCon Spring NYC
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • 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.

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
    • Development
    • Design improvements to the SetClaim API module
    • More work on implementing the simple inclusion syntax that will be 1 way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia
    • More work on Lua (the second way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia)
    • Added parser page property to hold entity id in client. This fixes:
      • bugzilla:45037 - don’t show edit link if noexternallanglinks has suppressed all Wikidata links
      • bugzilla:44536 - have the edit link go directly to the Q### pages, instead of Special:ItemByTitle which shall make the link be more reliable and work for all namespaces
    • Selenium tests for deleted-property-handling
    • Selenium tests for multiline references
    • Selenium tests for add-sitelinks-from-client
    • Selenium tests for Entity-Selector-as-Searchbox
    • Selenium tests for language-table
    • Implemented in-process caching for entities
    • Lua support to access the repo data and implement getEntity (so you can use stuff like entity = mw.wikibase.getEntity("Q1459") in Lua modules)
    • rebuildTermSearchKey is now ready for production (this still needs to be run but once done it will make search case-insensitive)
    • Improved error reports from the API
    • Ground work for better edit summaries from the API
    • Added a table of content to item pages
    • Added debug functionality to be able to investigate why it takes longer than it should for Wikidata changes to show up on recent changes and watchlists on Wikipedia
    • Finished implementation of References-UI
    • Implemented GUID generator in JavaScript
    • Worked on fixing a bug related to deleted properties where the UI would display wrong information
    • Minor fixes/additions to the JS datamodel implementation
    • Minor bugfixes in Statements-UI
    • More work on RDF export
  • Discussions/Press
  • Events
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Did you know?
    • If you add a Babel box to your user page Wikidata will show you items and descriptions in other languages you speak as well without you having to switch the language

Autoverlinkung von MBIDs edit

Latest comment: 11 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hallo, ich habe gesehen, dass du das Proposal für MBIDs als Aussagen bearbeitet hast - erstmal vielen Dank dafür. Eine Frage stellt sich mir noch: Ich habe jetzt mal den werten Herrn Johann Sebastian Bach mit einer Künstler ID ausgestattet, wie man aber leicht sieht, wird diese, im Gegensatz zu anderen IDs von externen Datenbanken (VIAF, LCCN, ISNI) nicht automatisch zu MusicBrainz verlinkt. Wie bekommt man das denn hin? Mineo (talk) 06:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Das kann weder du noch ich korrigieren, dass ist eine Softwareseitige Einstellung, für die es entweder einen Admin oder sogar einen Systemadmin braucht. (Wie das genau funktioniert weiß ich nicht.) Ich schreibe es mal auf Wikidata:Contact the development team – dann sollte das hoffentlich auch bald funktionieren. An den entsprechenden Items muss man nichts machen, ist nur eine zentrale Einstellung die gemacht werden muss. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 10:14, 19 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Already 565,000 pairs of coordinates are now available on WikiData. Compare this to 870,000 coordinates on English Wikipedia or 1,500,000 items with d:Property:P17 "country", likely to have coordinates. Have a look at them on a map.

Hello, is the RfC Wikidata:Requests for comment/Software statements still active ? Can we close it ? Snipre (talk) 12:14, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Well, there hasn't been any new answers in the last time, but some of the Questions are still open. I don't know how to proceed. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 11:58, 12 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Can you clean the RfC in order to let in the page only the open questions (use {{collapse top}} to hide what is solved and then put a message in the project chat asking for the need of comments ? This will perhaps bring new comments. Snipre (talk) 12:03, 21 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

PlotEditorsWIKIDATA stats.wikimedia.org: Hm, bots? IPs? Wikipedians?
 
Human edits per month at Wikidata until 2013... and now?

Hi MichaelSchoenitzer, thank you for Wikidata:Statistics! Could you make an update? I wonder if it's possible to use Quarry queries for wikidata statistics? user:Matěj Suchánek has done some interesting queries, as have others [3][4][5]. :-) I would be most interested in edits per month with "Widar [1.3]"-tag, "merged item"-tag etc. (Special:Tags)... --Atlasowa (talk) 19:46, 26 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

@Atlasowa: Oh, thank you for propagating my queries. :-) One of the querries is already at User:Matěj Suchánek/redirect or delete. Unfortunately, tag "merged item" does not work since September, so we have to use edit summaries as the key. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 19:57, 26 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Yes, Matěj Suchánek, that is exactly what i mean! But you have queried for a list of 2000 items and i would like to have numbers of "wbsetsitelink-remove" edits per month. Would that query blow up quarry? ;-) And similar questions, in human form:
  • Number of IP edits per month
  • Number of bot edits per month
  • Number of edits by reistered users per month
  • Number of edits that are done off-wikidata per month ("Merged item into", "Merged item from", "Added link to [commonswiki]:", "Added link to [viwiki]:", "Page moved from [enwiki:Mi calle] to [enwiki:My Street (film)]" etc.)
  • reverts per month (minus self-reverts)
I don't understand what is possible yet, i know too little. I want to learn! :-) Can you show me examples? --Atlasowa (talk) 21:05, 26 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Atlasowa, in fact this doesn't depend on Quarry which kills requests taking much time, but on the skill, that is, my skill. I have never done any such querries before, I have very little skill. If you really wish to create them, I will try to find some similar ones and alter them (that's what I'm good in).
Examples of what?
Also sorry Michael that I use your talk page comunicating with another user. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:02, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
Ha, "try to find some similar ones and alter them" - that is my strategy too, Matěj Suchánek :-) That's what i meant, similar queries as "examples". These should help but i don't know how yet. Learning by doing, i guess ;-) --Atlasowa (talk) 15:17, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
The script I originally used is brocken since an change in the dataformate. I'll maybe write a new one, but at the moment I don't have time for this. I'm sorry. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 11:43, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
OK, i understand and thanks for responding! --Atlasowa (talk) 13:30, 27 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

Property creation edit

Latest comment: 8 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I just saw that you created M sin i (P2051). It would be good to transfer the information into one of the new property templates and archive the discussion from the pending-page. --Tobias1984 (talk) 17:35, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Sadly I'm not anymore up to date with the process of property creation, that's the reason I didn't created more (as soon as realizing how much changed). Tried my best add the template and copy the discussions. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 22:08, 11 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hi. You can add these lines to your common.js. With this in place every time you add retrieved (P813) somewhere the value should be prefilled with the current date. Please let me know what you think, this might be useful enough to become a default gadget. --TMg 14:30, 29 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

@TMg: Thanks! If added it and tried it, seems to work great. Sadly I won't have much time for wikidata for the next few weeks… I'll let you know if I have any troubles or ideas for improvement. Could be very usefull for more people → should be linked somewhere. -- MichaelSchoenitzer (talk) 23:41, 29 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
