Re: [pywikibot] [Wikidata] [Wikidata-tech] wb_terms redesign

Can you clarify whether it would also be too much load to write both to the new table and the old wb_terms table for a transition period (controlled by a configuration setting)? (I'm not advocating for it, just asking because we did something of the sort in the past for other transitions.) Federico

Fwd: [Wikidata-tech] [Breaking change] Empty containers in JSON outputs will be serialized as empty object "{}"
by Maarten Dammers 06 Apr '19

FYI, we have https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219891 for this. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Wikidata-tech] [Breaking change] Empty containers in JSON outputs will be serialized as empty object "{}" Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2019 12:23:37 +0200 From: Léa Lacroix <lea.lacroix(a)wikimedia.de> Reply-To: Wikidata technical discussion <wikidata-tech(a)lists.wikimedia.org> To: Discussion list for the Wikidata project. <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikidata technical discussion <wikidata-tech(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Hello all, This change is relevant for everyone *using APIs, JSON output and dumps in their tools or gadgets*. Currently, when an object is empty (for example descriptions and aliases), it is rendered as an empty array |[]| in JSON. (Example <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q24075199.json>) We want to serialized it as an empty object |{}| instead. This change will ease the deserialization process and bring more consistency in our code as some other places already use JSON objects instead of arrays. The impact of this change will be in JSON outputs (Special:EntityData) and JSON dumps, as well as the output of wbgetentities, wbgetclaims and editing APIs. If you’re maintaining tools that use Special:EntityData, you may want to check your code to make sure that it reflects this change, e.g. items with no labels, descriptions, aliases or sitelinks are properly deserialized by your tool. You can already *test your code* against our test system on beta.wikidata.org <http://beta.wikidata.org>, for example on this item <https://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q521829.json>. According to our stable interface policy <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Stable_Interface_Policy>, the change will be enabled four weeks after this announcement, on April 30th. In the meantime, if you have any issue or question, feel free to leave a comment in this ticket <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138104>.
