Hello everyone,
Exciting times: the first feature of Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons -
multilingual captions - can now be beta tested. See below for further
explanation.
After the deployment of captions, the other functionalities of Structured
Commons (depicts + other statements from Wikidata) will be added in the
next months.
Looking forward to your tests and feedback! Sandra

Subject: [Commons-l] Structured data on Commons: Multilingual captions beta
testing
To: Wikimedia Commons Discussion List <commons-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, <
wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
The Structured Data on Commons team has begun beta testing of the first
feature, multilingual file captions, and all community members are invited
to test it out. Captions is based on designs discussed with the community
[1][2] and the team is looking forward to hearing about testing.
***If all goes well during testing, captions will be turned on for Commons
around the second week of January, 2019.***
Multilingual captions are plain text fields that provide brief, easily
translatable details of a file in a way that is easy to create, edit, and
curate. Captions are added during the upload process using the
UploadWizard, or they can be added directly on any file page on Commons.
Adding captions in multiple languages is a simple process that requires
only a few steps.
The details:
-
There is [[mw:Help:File_captions|a help page available on how to use
multilingual file captions]]
-
Testing will take place on Beta Commons. If you don’t yet have an
account set up there, you’ll need one. (direct link:
https://commons.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page )
-
Beta Commons is a testbed, and not configured exactly like the real
Commons site, so expect to see some discrepancies with UI elements like
search
-
Structured Data introduces the potential for many important page changes
to happen at once, which could flood the recent changes list. Because of
this, Enhanced Recent Changes
<https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Help:Enhanced_recent_changes> is enabled
as it currently is at Commons, but with some user interface changes.
-
Feedback and commentary on the file caption functionality are welcome
and encouraged on the discussion page for this post:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Structured_data/Beta_captio…
-
Some testing has already taken place and the team are aware of some
issues. A list of known issues can be seen below
-
If you discover a bug/issue that is not covered in the known issues,
please file a ticket on Phabricator and tag it with the “Multimedia” tag.
Use [
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?projects=mult…
this link to file a new task] already tagged with "Multimedia."
Known issues:
-
Search is not currently working on Beta Commons. Search is not needed
for testing captions, but service should be restored soon.
-
Language name display inconsistencies in multilingual file captions -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T209380
-
Language names for multilingual File captions can run into the caption
value in the mobile view - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T209333
-
Deleting a caption field that has text that exceeds the limit does not
re-enable the "publish" button -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T209329
-
"Edit" tab for past revisions should be "restore" -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T209187
-
When using the back button, recently added captions sometimes don't
display in Chrome - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208894
-
File Captions can't be edited on mobile browsers -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208993
-
Wrong font weight for some language labels on SDC captions box -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208902

Dear GLAMWiki enthusiasts,
I have a huge favor to ask of everyone in this mailing list --
TLDR: *please fill out* *this questionnaire
<https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/%E2%80%8Bhttps://goo.gl/forms/WMFb6j2mpG2H…!!>!*
And now in more details:
As some of you may know, I'm a PhD candidate at the School of Education,
Tel Aviv University, and my research focuses on Wikidata as a learning
platform.
To succeed in my research, I need data about how users (especially GLAM
institutions & GLAMers) interact with Wikidata, so it would be of great
help if you could take the time to fill out the questionnaire linked above.
It's estimated that it should take between 15-30 minutes, depending on how
detailed your answers would be.
I'm striving for at least 100 replies, but this is one of those cases of
"the more, the merrier", so every person filling it out is of huge help.
Please feel free to ping me privately or send me an email if you have any
questions, or if you are willing to participate in a follow up
interview (there's
also an option to mark that in the questionnaire itself).
Thanks in advance for considering filling it out. I will be forever grateful
to anyone who can help and promise to update you on my progress. :)
Cheers,
Shani.

Subject: [Wikidata] WikidataCon, the conference for open data enthusiasts,
will take place in Berlin in October 2019
To: Discussion list for the Wikidata project. <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello dear Wikidata community,
After the success of the first WikidataCon in 2017
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2017> and many
conversations regarding the future of this conference, we are now ready to
announce that the WikidataCon 2019 will take place on October 25th-26th
2019 in Berlin.
Apart from this first piece of information (save the date in your
calendars!), there are some important changes regarding the goal of the
conference that we would like to share with you.
After its first iteration, the goals of the conference will evolve. The
event will be more focused on networking and strategic discussions. The
target group will of course include the Wikidata community in its broad
sense, especially people and organizations who are already involved in
editing, structuring and reusing the data, but will also reach further the
organizations who may be interested in using Wikidata and Wikibase, or
contributing in various ways to the evolution of Wikidata.
The program will be adapted to this new goal, and organized around
different levels of involvement for the participants: from being inspired
(with keynotes, success stories, vision of Wikidata’s future) to diving
deeper into the hot topics, but also action: the participants will have the
opportunity to work on projects during the conference.
Besides many possible topics that will be submitted by the participants, we
plan to have a dedicated track about lexicographical data, discussing the
perspectives for further reusing data about words within and beyond
Wikidata.
A lot of space will be left for discussions, networking, building
connections between the different stakeholders and members of the broad
Wikidata community.
The conference will be hosting at least 250 participants. In order to make
sure that the access to the conference is fair and to not reproduce the
issues of last year (rush to get a ticket and long waiting list), we will
set up a more streamlined registration process, where a committee made up
of both staff and volunteers will make sure that the applicants will
contribute in one way or another to the goal of the conference. I will keep
you updated for the next steps of this process.
You can already see Wikidata:WikidataCon 2019
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2019> which will be
improved step by step over the next months, and you can already use the
discussion page. If you have any question, you can also contact me on my
talk page or by email.
We're looking forward to a great WikidataCon 2019, together with you!
Thanks for your attention,

Do you organize wiki events? Would you like to have a convenient tool that provides metrics about the impact of your events? Then you are a potential user of Event Metrics [1], a new tool under development. I’m writing now to find event organizes who can help us test the usability of this new metrics program, to make sure people such as yourself can understand and easily use its functions.
The test will involve a one-hour videoconference session with a design researchers, who will lead you through a series of tasks on the program and talk to you about how well the tool's user interface works for you and how it could be improved. Sessions will take place the second and third weeks of January.
If you’d like to help out, please email Daisy Chen, dchen[at]wikimedia.org, and let her know:
* The email address where you prefer to be reached.
* Your time zone
* General times when you prefer to meet (evenings, mornings, etc.)
Daisy will follow up to schedule a time. Thanks for helping to make Event Metrics a tool that event organizers will find empowering!
