New tool: Lexemes Party

Hello,

I created a new tool: Lexemes Party. It shows lexemes related to a list of Wikidata items. It was built with two uses in mind:

• To give an overview of the coverage of lexicographical data in Wikidata for a small list of Wikidata items (example: Planets of the Solar System).
• To work with a long list of Wikidata items to improve a specific language (example: Animals).

Several examples are available on the tool.

A "challenge" mode will be added soon. The idea is to give a small list of Wikidata concepts for a limited duration. The community could create or improve corresponding lexemes in their languages. The progression will be saved. The idea is to encourage emulation between languages.

Feedback is of course welcome! There are probably bugs and room for improvement.

@Envlh: This is an interesting tool! One immediate concern I see is that for lexemes with multiple lemmata, such as Hebrew, Hindustani, or Malay, each lemma/sense combination is listed separately: in the 'colors of the rainbow flag' query, there look like there are four Hindustani lexemes given for 'green' when there are actually two, each with a Devanagari and an Arabic lemma.

@Mahir256: Thank you! With your example, would this layout be better?

ہرا / हरा (L298913-S1)

سبز / सब्ज़ (L298914-S1)

@Envlh: Yes, this is better. Mahir256 (talk) 21:36, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

@Mahir256:  Done — Envlh (talk) 21:47, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

The challenge mode has been added, with a first challenge about Olympic Games. Cheers, — Envlh (talk) 19:56, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

@Envlh: what a lovely tool! Can you please change the query for colors from LGBT-flag to neutral spectral colors: "SELECT ?concept { wd:Q43213808 p:P527 [ rdf:type wikibase:BestRank ; ps:P527 ?concept ; pq:P1545 ?rank ]} ORDER BY xsd:integer(?rank)"? --Infovarius (talk) 13:56, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@Infovarius: thank you for your feedback! These are only examples to show how the tool can be used. You can create your own lists and then share them. For your query: Prismatic colors. Cheers, — Envlh (talk) 10:48, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks to feedback, several improvements were made to the tool (readability, more consistent use of language codes, etc.). A documentation has been started. We are at the 9th weekly challenge (statistics about previous challenges). Feel free to contact me privately (by email or by DM on Twitter, Telegram, ...) if you have ideas for new challenges.

Adding link to the project in the sidebar

Hi,

Talking with @Lepticed7:, we're wondering if we could add a link to the "main page" of the project Wikidata:Lexicographical data in Wikidata sidebar (for instance, before "creating a new lexeme").

I'd find it useful for sure. --Lexicolover (talk) 19:45, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I would also find this change useful. Cheers, — Envlh (talk) 22:05, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
