Magnus, were you thinking that if there *is* a description field for the knowledge item then that should override the computed description?On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 10:31 AM, Magnus Manske <magnusmanske@googlemail.com> wrote:As to Wikidata descriptions, I think it's a good first step. As someone mentioned, it's pretty useless for most languages, as there are no descriptions on Wikidata. IMHO the next step is auto-generating short descriptions from the item statements, which will be perfectly fine for the vast majority of cases.If this is done, I suggest to NOT put the auto-generated text in the manual description field, as descriptions will improve over time, through both new statements and better algorithms. Rather, cache descriptions separately, and update them as required.On Fri, Aug 14, 2015 at 4:52 PM Adam Baso <abaso@wikimedia.org> wrote:_______________________________________________We recently resumed tweeting with the @WikimediaMobile handle, and I wanted to share one tweet with you:It looks like people are pretty keen on it.There was one person who said outside of top Wikipedias it doesn't seem quite as useful.
