Hi!
I see that when I use the Java API to add a Statement with a Property
pointing to an Item, but the Item has been merged:
org.wikidata.wdtk.wikibaseapi.apierrors.MediaWikiApiErrorException:
[modification-failed] [[Item:Q1040|Q1040]] not found
at
org.wikidata.wdtk.wikibaseapi.apierrors.MediaWikiApiErrorHandler.throwMediaWikiApiErrorException(MediaWikiAp
iErrorHandler.java:62)
Is there a way to put in Items such that Wikibase would point them to the
merge target?
Or, do I need to use the API to find out the merge target so I could use
that instead?
Thanks!
Cheers
Miguel
Hi,
Is there a way to programmatically read the timestamp that indicates when
Wikidata editors changed their user rights? I would like to query the edit
history dump or the API to know when someone becomes a bureaucrat or an
administrator.
Thanks in advance,
Cristina

Hello all,
We’ve been working on a new data type that allows you to link to the *tabular
data files <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Tabular_Data>* that are now
stored on Commons. This data type will be deployed on Wikidata on *May 15th*
.
The property creators will be able to create properties with this tabular
data type by selecting “tabular data” in the data type list.
When the property is created, you can use it in statements, and when
filling the value, if you start typing a string, you can choose the name of
a file in the list of what exists on Commons.
Before the deployment, you can test it on http://test.wikidata.org (example
<https://test.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59992>).
One thing to note: We currently do not export statements that use this
datatype to RDF. They can therefore not be queried in the Wikidata Query
Service. The reason is that we are still waiting for tabular data files to
get stable URIs. This is handled in this ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161527>.
If you have any question, feel free to ask!
