No links on Polish disambiguation page

On this page there are no links although the item is created: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4374612#sitelinks-wikipedia . What should be done to fix it?

Generally purging the page fixes it. As it is, it is already fixed. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:08, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you: the purging helped. Kamdenek (talk) 18:37, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Repeted Spanish French and German names

I cannot introduce the name of the Spanish village Asón in Spanish, French and German because Wikidata has other items called Asón, this is quite common, especially in Spain, for diferent villages to have the same name, so the tool should allow us to introduce it. --Lojwe (talk) 01:01, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

@Lojwe: For each language, the item label PLUS the item description must be unique. (i.e. imagine concatenating them together.) It is, thus, possible to have as many items for a village called Asón as you wish, so long as each of them has a different description. If you continue to have problems, add the description first, and save; and then add the label (b/c caching issues arise, which, as I say, are generally sorted by description, save, label). --Tagishsimon (talk) 01:07, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! It works now :) Lojwe (talk) 01:13, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Where to find your SPARQL query service in Git/Svn/etc.

I am the current maintainer of NLM's linked data endpoint for MeSH (MeSH RDF), at https://id.nlm.nih.gov/. The Web UI is based on EBI lodestar, but yours is so nice. Where can I find source code so that I may consider how to modify my endpoint to add these more advanced features?

Perhaps https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase ? --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:28, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Seems so - they mention need for zip/unzip for composer to work correctly. I will try it. DanizenAtWork (talk) 21:40, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Installation, but I had to add export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true to check out Wikibase from git. DanizenAtWork (talk) 21:48, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

We were wrong. Since the FQDN for they sparql query is different, it is not actually a part of Wikibase. It is here - https://github.com/wikimedia/wikidata-query-rdf DanizenAtWork (talk) 22:17, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

I'll be intereted to hear if you get it up & running. At least you're on the path. --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:28, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

@DanizenAtWork: the query service UI is at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/wikidata/query/gui / https://github.com/wikimedia/wikidata-query-gui. Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE) (talk) 09:53, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Entity Q28865 is not visible in SPARQL query results

Hi, according to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28865, "Python" (Q28865) is instanceOf "dynamic programming language" (Q1268980), but it is not returned by following SPARQL query: "SELECT ?item WHERE { ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q1268980.}" (https://w.wiki/4Qu2). Is it expected behavior?  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.69.125.68 (talk • contribs) at 10:31, 18 November 2021‎ (UTC).

Yes, because wdt: returns best-rank statements, and the only best-rank statement in this case is Python (Q28865)instance of (P31)object-based language (Q899523), which has been set to preferred rank, whereas the other P31 statements on this item have normal rank. (Whether that one class should have preferred rank is a different question…) --Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE) (talk) 11:09, 18 November 2021 (UTC)

Requesting renaming of an item

Cooch Behar Uchcha Madhyamic must be renamed to 'Cooch Behar Uchca Madhyamik Vidyalaya' as the current title is mispronounced.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2006nishan178713 (talk • contribs) at 17:22‎, 21. November 2021 (UTC).

@2006nishan178713: Is there any technical problem that prevents you from doing so? --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 09:40, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

"Items" tutorial doesn't show accompanying text "overlay"

Hi there

Unlike, e.g., the "Statements" tutorial where I see the a wizard guiding me trough the tutorial no such wizard is displayed for the "Items" tutorial. I'm talking about the tutorials listed here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tours.

Cheers

I think I’ve fixed the problem, the tour item had been merged when it shouldn’t have been. Does it work better now? --Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE) (talk) 17:53, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
