"We are the ones we have been waiting for" (June Jordan)
Esteemed Wikipedia, Wikidata, Linked Data, and Semantic Web communities[*],
===
tl;dr: Released a Google Spreadsheets add-on called Wikipedia Tools
[1] that makes working with data from Wikipedia and Wikidata a breeze.
===
I am happy to release a Google Spreadsheets add-on called Wikipedia
Tools [1]. This add-on allows you to work with data from Wikipedia and
Wikidata from within a spreadsheet context using custom formulas. Let
me motivate the tools with a short example:
You may have heard of Volkswagen's #DieselGate scandal. Is this still
a problem for Volkswagen—and if so, where? Google Trends to the
rescue? Maybe [2]. But what about global impact? How do people in
Korea, an important Volkswagen export market [citation needed😉],
refer to the scandal? Turns out they call it 폭스바겐 배기가스 조작 (among
probably other options).
With a custom function from Wikipedia Tools, we can safely "translate"
from one English (a language that, for the sake of this example, we
assume we dominate well enough) Wikipedia article to many other
languages (that we do not necessarily dominate):
=WIKITRANSLATE("en:Volkswagen_emissions_scandal")
bg Афера на Фолксваген
cs Dieselgate
de VW-Abgasskandal
[…]
zh 福斯集團汽車舞弊事件
Then, using Wikipedia page views as one (among others) reasonable
popularity indicator, for each of these language results, for example
for Korean, we can get =WIKIPAGEVIEWS("ko:폭스바겐 배기가스 조작") for the last
n days, and plot the results [3] (in practice, you would probably
still normalize by size and/or total views of the particular
Wikipedia[**]).
There are a lot more custom functions implemented than I could cover
in this short example. I have put together a slide deck [4] and paper
[5] that go into more detail if you are interested, a demo with all
functions is available at [6]. The add-on also has a built-in manual
(in Google Sheets, click Add-ons→Wikipedia Tools→Show documentation)
and its underlying code is open-source [7].
Please let me know in case of any open question, feature request, or
bug. Thanks!
Cheers,
Tom

Hi,
It's probably not the most important thing to research but just out of
curiosity... Did anybody compare the frequency of {{DEFAULTSORT}} usage in
Wikipedias in different languages?
I just realized that in Japanese it is _probably_ used more frequently than
in other languages, maybe because sorting by Japanese Kanji characters is
suboptimal (that's just a guess—if you know better, please tell me).
By the same logic, I'd guess that it's used less in Russian and Ukrainian,
because they have the custom of titling articles about people with the last
name first.
Again, it's not the most important thing, but it could inform some editing
design in the future.
