Hey folks,
we plan to drop the wb_entity_per_page table sometime soon[0], because
it is just not required (as we will likely always have a programmatic
mapping from entity id to page title) and it does not supported non
-numeric entity ids as it is now. Due to this removing it is a blocker
for the commons metadata.
Is anybody using that for their tools (on tool labs)? If so, please
tell us so that we can give you instructions and a longer grace period
to update your scripts.
Cheers,
Marius

Hoi,
Jura1 created a wonderful list of people who died in Brazil in 2015 [1]. It
is a page that may update regularly from Wikidata thanks to the
ListeriaBot. Obviously, there may be a few more because I am falling ever
more behind with my quest for registering deaths in 2015.
I have copied his work and created a page for people who died in the
Netherlands in 2015 [2]. It is trivially easy to do this and, the result is
great. The result looks great, it can be used for any country in any
Wikipedia
The Dutch Wikipedia indicated that they nowadays maintain important
metadata at Wikidata. I am really happy that we can showcase their work. It
is important work because as someone reminded me at some stage, this is
part of what amounts to the policy of living people...
Thanks,
GerardM

Hey all,
Lydia (or somebody operating the @Wikidata handle :) posted this question
on Twitter and a few great ideas started trickling in
<https://twitter.com/wikidata/status/708384895375163392>.
I went ahead and created an AllOurIdeas poll <https://t.co/IbsBmY6Kpg>,
seeded with the first ideas posted on Twitter, to crowdsource the
generation of new ideas and produce a robust ranking.
If you're unfamiliar with AllOurIdeas </>, it's an open consultation engine
allowing people to choose which idea they like best via pairwise
comparisons (I am cc'ing Matt Salganik, the project lead). It's very simple
on the surface but it uses algorithms such as the Condorcet method
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method> to test how strongly each
idea performs against another, reducing the weighing of the oldest ideas to
create a level playing field for newly created ideas and preventing gaming
or self-promotion of one's own ideas.
Try it out or post new ideas: the more votes it gets, the higher the
confidence of the ranking. Real-time results and statistics are here
<http://www.allourideas.org/wikidata/results>.

Dear Wikidata developers and contributors,
I see that it is currently not possible to run federated queries from
wikidata to other sparql endpoints. I understand why you are not
allowing this in the general case. However, it would be nice to allow
this in the special case.
Would a patch allowing limited known remote sparql endpoints to
org.wikidata.query.rdf.blazegraph.WikibaseContextListener
be possible?
Regards,
Jerven Bolleman

Hello,
I'm trying to retrieve via SPARQL those entries missing a label in a
certain language (e.g. "de").
Example from this query: http://tinyurl.com/zazewyx
How this could be done straight from a SPARQL query?
Thanks,

Hey everyone,
We are working on making the ArticlePlaceholder extension ready for
deployment now.
We hope to deploy the extension on 2016-05-11.
Until then, it would be great if you can help us out, especially if you
speak the languages we are deploying to.
It would be necessary to have the properties on Wikidata translated as one
of the most important steps before the actual deployment.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_propertieshttps://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-terminator/ has a list of the most used
items with missing labels and descriptions. In order for the extension to
actually be useful it is necessary is to translate the labels and
descriptions of items - this help would be greatly appreciated!
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties>
It would be a great help for Wikidata as a project as well as an advantage
for the ArticlePlaceholder.
Currently deployment is planned on:
- Esperanto Wikipedia
https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikipedio:Diskutejo/Teknikejo#Anstata.C5.ADig…
- Haitian Creole
https://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedya:Kafe#Article_placeholder
- Oriya Wikipedia
https://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AC%89%E0%AC%87%E0%AC%95%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%AA…
- Gujarati Wikipedia
- Neapolitan Wikipedia
- Asturian Wikipedia
I am very much looking forward to this important step!
Thank you all very much,
Lucie (Frimelle)

Hi everyone,
I am lately facing the following problem: There are many (biomedical)
resources we import data from, which consist of several parts. And for each
of these parts, they use either a different identifier structure, or they
use the same identifier structure but with different accession URLs. This
is valid for very essential resources like ChEMBL (e.g. compounds,
targets, assays), miRNA database, IUPHAR and others
In order to represent and link to these resources properly in Wikidata, how
should we do this? The "easy" way is to just propose properties for each of
these parts of a resource, which also allows to specify the proper
formatter url. But this certainly would create several properties for the
same resource.
The other way would be to specify a set of formatter urls, but this fails
currently anyway, as this has not been implemented (yet). Maybe we could
specify formatter urls on a value basis which could override the formatter
url specified in the property? But I guess this requires substantial dev
time in Wikibase.
What are your thoughts/ideas?
Thanks!
Sebastian
Hi all
I've been using the <http://wikidata.org/ontology#> namespace for datatype
properties for some time (more than a year).
Now I can see everywhere only the <http://wikiba.se/ontology#> ns.
Was there some reason for change? Are these two somehow compatible? Will
the first one be deprecated?
Thanks
Jan
