Hi Wikidata crew,
the Gerrit Cleanup Day on Wed 23rd is approaching fast - only one week
left. More info: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88531
Do you feel prepared for the day and know what to do?
If not, what are you missing and how can I help?
Some Gerrit queries for Wikidata are listed under "Gerrit queries per
team/area" in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88531
Are they helpful and a good start? Or do they miss some areas (or do
you have existing Gerrit queries to use instead or to "integrate", e.g.
for parts of MediaWiki core if relevant)?
Will there be a main Wikidata contact for the day (and available in
#wikimedia-dev on IRC) and help organize review work in Wikidata
areas, in case other teams would like to reach out?
Thanks for your help and interest!

Hey folks :)
We'll be rolling out arbitrary access to a large number of wikis next
week and the week after. See
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Arbitrary_access for the full
list.
Cheers

When I try to access a Reasonator page with Chrome, I'm seeing the
'https' crossed through with a red line in the browser bar, and neither
the CSS nor the content appears to be loading.
On Firefox (which I think I've given permission to access
tools.wmflabs.org as an unsafe site), the header and (for dates) the
sidebar come up, but then it gets stuck at "Loading..."
Is everybody seeing this, or is it some problem with my machine /
connection / ISP ?

Please do not name projects "listeria", or use any other names of diseases
that has killed people. Thank you for taking this into consideration next
time.

Is anybody else having this problem?
Autolist (at least for me) seems to have got very very slow at
retrieving labels & links.
eg -- I recently opened up a set of searches in five tabs, none of them
returning more than 40 hits, and it was still "getting labels" five
minutes later.
It didn't used to be like this.
Are other people seeing this, and is there anything that might be
causing it ?
Thanks,
James.
Hi all,
The main page of Wikidata shows an item count that is getting
increasingly out of synch with reality. The 31 Aug dump contains
18,483,096 items, while the front page says that there are 14,788,811
now. I think this is caused by how MediaWiki counts "articles" (which is
not what we are dealing with).
Or maybe this is intended? But if we prominently publish a number that
is 25% off the "raw" data, we should at least explain which criteria was
used to produce it. What counts as a "proper" item on Wikidata?
Cheers,
Markus
The Discovery Department at the Wikimedia Foundation is pleased to announce
the release of the Wikidata Query Service
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service>! You can find the
interface for the service at https://query.wikidata.org.
The Wikidata Query Service is designed to let users run queries on the data
contained in Wikidata. The service uses SPARQL
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARQL> as the query language. You can see
some example queries in the user manual
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service/User_Manual>.
Right now, the service is still in beta. This means that our goal
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2015-16_Q2_Goals#Wikid…>
is
to monitor of the service usage and collect feedback about what people
think should be next. To do that, we've created the Wikidata Query Service
dashboard <https://searchdata.wmflabs.org/wdqs/> to track usage of the
service, and we're in the process
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111403> of setting up a feedback
mechanism for users of the service. Once we've got monitored the usage of
the service for a while and got user feedback, we'll decide on what's next
for development of the service.
If you have any feedback, suggestions, or comments, please do send an email
to the Discovery Department's public mailing list,
wikimedia-search(a)lists.wikimedia.org.
Thanks,
Dan
