Merge duplicate years of art chronology

Request date: 9 May 2017, by: 16:55, 9 May 2017 (UTC)

Link to discussions justifying the request
Task description

Hello everybody,

I realized there is an "art chronology" (XXXX in art) in english (and other languages) and another one in french (XXXX en arts plastiques). For instance : 1880 in art = 1880 en arts plastiques.

But each year of them is already an individual wikidata item. My purpose is to merge them. Is it possible to proceed to an authomatic merge of an item with english label ='XXXX in art' with the matching item with french label 'XXXX en arts plastiques'?

Thank you very much.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Daehan (talk • contribs).

I don't care about all this stuff, just add descriptions for categories with every item to have instance of (P31) Q29848066. And repeat weekly. PokestarFan • Drink some tea and talk with me • Stalk my edits • I'm not shouting, I just like this font! 01:40, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

@PokestarFan: Why do we have to care about your stuff if you don't help us by filling the request form ? This form just simplifies the job of bot operators by ensuring them that the request is justified. So let the bot operators decide if your request is worth to be proceed.

This is the first request since the custom form was added end of April. It's a pity that user don't take the two minutes to fill out the form which eases the work of bot operaters. --Pasleim (talk) 20:21, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

Snipre, things could and should evolve (≠ principle of evolution). That's what happend here. It's a good thing and we should enforce it. Thanks User:PokestarFan. --Succu (talk) 21:19, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
"discussion is a normal solution, at least for polite persons" Indeed. Where did "polite persons" discuss this template with, and its imposition on, the wider community? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:41, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
If none oppose before friday, I will do it with my bot. --ValterVB (talk) 19:45, 16 May 2017 (UTC)

With all of the requests, I am ready to create my own bot, except I can't. So someone should make a good bot. Much better than quickstatementing it, takes up massive amounts of space, and storage for past revisions. Using my code template, I have maybe around 20-30MB of revision data.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by PokestarFan (talk • contribs).PokestarFan • Drink some tea and talk with me • Stalk my edits • I'm not shouting, I just like this font! 19:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)Not anymore

Remove wrong /doc at template descriptions

Request date: 25 May 2017, by: Steak

Link to discussions justifying the request
Task description

About 2000 items contain in the label the string "/doc". Because /doc-subpages are not notable, these labels were probably originally imported wrongly. For example, in Template:WorldCat id (Q11247300), it reads for the bulgarian label "Шаблон:Worldcat id/doc" instead of "Шаблон:Worldcat id". A bot-run would be useful to remove these wrong /doc strings in such cases. Steak (talk) 11:39, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

A WDQ query for this:
SELECT ?item 
	(GROUP_CONCAT(distinct(?itemLabel); separator=", ") as ?itemLabels)
WHERE
{
  ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q11266439 ;
        rdfs:label ?itemLabel .
  FILTER(strEnds(?itemLabel, "/doc")) .
}
GROUP BY ?item
Try it!

--XXN, 13:56, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Request process
Mostly done. But there remained some 200 items on which bot edits cannot be saved due to either a real conflict (the pair "label & description" is not[/will not be] unique), or a known related bug (phab:T165249). Will try again soon to resolve them. --XXN, 18:10, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
  Task completed. Several items fixed manually, one listed at DR. 22:41, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

A bot should regularly add instance of (P31) book (Q571) for items without instance of (P31) that have a ISBN-13 (P212) or ISBN-10 (P957) statement

Request date: 29 May 2017, by: ChristianKl

Task description

A bot should regularly add instance of (P31) book (Q571) for items without instance of (P31) that have a ISBN-13 (P212) or ISBN-10 (P957) statement. Every thing that has an ISBN number is a book. For items that don't have instance of (P31) filled but that do have an ISBN number it's therefore possible for a bot to do the task. This reduces the amount of work a human has to do when he adds a new source that's a book which has an ISBN number.

@Pigsonthewing:Okay, then this seems to be a bad idea. Can you change the domain of our existing ISBN properties, so that they fully represent what the ISBN is about? ChristianKl (talk) 22:00, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
