Hello,
Is there any chance we can access qualifier-specific data on Wikidata? For instance, we have two population properties on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2674064 and want to access the value of the first one (i.e, the population value for 2015).
Any help?
Hey everyone :)
We've rolled out the first version of the ArticlePlaceholder on Esperanto,
Haitian-Creole, Neapolitan and Odia Wikipedia. This worked well enough and
we got useful feedback from the first rollout. Thank you!
I want to plan the second round now. We'll do that in about 3 weeks. If
your Wikipedia would like to have it in the next round please open a ticket
on Phabricator with a link to the on-wiki discussion or let me know.
There are a number of things we still want to work on in the next 3 weeks.
They include:
* Fixing some issues with the layout (broken identifier section when they
are too long, issues with qualifiers for images, empty reference section
that sometimes appears)
* Making the search integration faster
* Making language fallbacks work for properties
* Adding a button to allow translating of the article in another language
with the Content Translation tool
Cheers
Lydia

Hoi,
When an external ontology says that something is a disease and the DSM-5
says it is not. There is a huge problem.
When something is not what it is said to be. Should we allow for things
that are diametrical the opposite of each other. The problem is that labels
like this have a massive impact. When they are manifestly wrong should we
include them because an external ontology says so?
Thanks,
GerardM
Hi!
The geospatial search in WDQS now includes ability to sort by distance.
This can be achieved in one of two ways:
1. Circular search now has clause to fetch distance from center:
bd:serviceParam wikibase:distance ?distance .
This places distance from center to ?distance variable for each found
point, which then can be used for sorting.
2. geof:distance function - this function returns distance between any
two points. This function can be used on any two points, regardless of
usage of the search service.
In both cases, distances are returned in kilometers, other units are not
currently supported (maybe in the future).
Please tell me if you notice anything wrong or have any
comments/suggestions.
Thanks,

Hi,
I am having problems with the Wikidata Query Service. Sometimes I just
get an black page at other time I get an interface but without a
responsive edit field and the message "Data last updated: [connecting]"
on the green status field. The issue has been going on for some days now.
I know there has been recent instabilities, cf.
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2016-May/008674.html ,
but https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134238 'Query service fails with
"Too many open files"' should be resolved as of 9 May. A new one
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133026 "WDQS GUI caching" is AFAIU
unresolved. It seems my problem could be related to caching, but full
page reload (Ctrl F5) does not always work.
Interestingly, one of my computers has the problem while another does not.
I look on Grafana and see that one of the servers has somewhat of a high
load
https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/wikidata-query-service
I see nothing unusual here: https://searchdata.wmflabs.org/wdqs/
Is there anything we mere mortals can do about such issues? Is it a
Phabricator issue? Perhaps my IP has just be throttled? :)
best
Finn

Hi everyone :)
Last year Lucie started working on the ArticlePlaceholder (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ArticlePlaceholder) in order to
fullfill Wikidata's promise of supporting especially the smaller
Wikipedias. Today we have rolled it out on the first 4 Wikipedias:
Esperanto, Haitian Creole, Neapolitan and Odia. When someone searches for a
topic where no local article exists but Wikidata has data we will show an
ArticlePlaceholder with this information and encourage the reader to create
an article. I hope this will help these Wikipedias by offering their
readers more content and by turning more of them into active editors.
In order for the feature to work well we need labels for items and
properties in these languages on Wikidata. A lot exist already but if you
want to help out you can find items and properties that need labels in
these languages at https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-terminator and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ListProperties.
What we rolled out today as usual is a first version. Based on the feedback
from those 4 Wikipedias we will expand and improve it. One of the next
things we will do is add the option to translate an article from another
language if it exists using the Content Translation tool and fix known
bugs. Things we know are still broken or need work:
* language fallbacks in the properties are not working so you will see a
lot of P1234 and so on until a label is added on Wikidata in that language
* long identifiers break out of the identifier box on the right side and
don't look good
* right now you only get an ArticlePlaceholder in the search results when
Wikidata has at least 3 links to other Wikimedia projects and 3 statements.
We might need to tweak this number still based on feedback from the first
Wikipedias. We limit this in order to not encourage readers to create an
article that will be deleted right after they created it because it isn't
notable.
Here are some example pages:
* Odia:
https://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AC%AC%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%B6%E0%AD%87%E0%AC%B7…
* Napolitan:
https://nap.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A0le:AboutTopic?entityid=Q2613697
* Esperanto:
https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciala%C4%B5o:AboutTopic?entityid=Q12345
* Haitian Creole:
https://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espesyal:AboutTopic?entityid=Q12345
I'm really excited about making true on one of Wikidata's biggest promises.
Cheers
Lydia
