Hi everybody,
Nexus Linguarum <https://nexuslinguarum.eu/> and LDK2023
<http://2023.ldk-conf.org/> give us the chance to organize a workshop
about lexemes on Wikibase / Wikidata. We have already some use case
presentations on board, and would like to encourage everybody working
with lexemes to contribute. The presentations should be focused on
workflows (deal with source formats, how to model, how to get data to
Wikidata/Wikibase), and problems of particular languages.
The workshop is an in-person event in Vienna, Austria, on September 13,
and will be video-recorded. Lightning talks can also be contributed by
pre-recording them. The idea is to provide that video recordings
collection as reference for people starting projects that involve
lexical data, and that may be new Wikibase users. The workshop is
co-located to the LDK conference, so part of the audience will be people
from W3C communities such as Ontolex.
Registration is free. Please find the workshop page here:
https://wikibase-lex.sciencesconf.org/
Feel free to share this message.
Best regards,
David

Hi Folks,
We encourage each and everyone of you to create a program submission. You can submit an interactive workshop or panel, a lecture, a short lighting talk or a poster for our dedicated poster session. Submissions are catered to both onsite and online (live or pre-recorded) or a hybrid combination. We would love to see submissions from all over the world, and this year there is an 'Open Data' track for projects relating to Linked Open Data (Wikidata and/or Wikibase).
The theme for this year's Wikimania is Diversity, Collaboration, Future. Topics that strengthen collaboration on Open Data are topics we like to see this year.
Session submissions for Wikimania 2023 are open until 28 March.

Dear Community,
Today we closed the survey for Suite and counted 32 respondents.
*We're thrilled! *
This will give us great insight to what challenges you're currently facing
and how to possibly address them. We would like to open the conversation
and share some of the insights with you in a dedicated live session. In
late April, we will also share the full report via Commons, as we did with
the one for Cloud.
Thank you again for your time and patience.
Cheers!

Dear Community,
We’re thrilled to announce the release of Wikibase Suite 1.39!
We recommend that everyone running older versions of Wikibase Suite update
as soon as possible.
In short:
We’re proud to announce that as of this release, Wikibase is now in sync
with MediaWiki. Our developers have worked very hard to reach this goal.
Hooray!
In addition, the Wikibase version 1.39 release includes some changes in
external libraries and in the output from the ActionAPI “wbsearchentities”
call. For more information, including breaking changes and deprecations,
see the detailed release notes
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/extensions/Wikibas…>
.
Upgrading your Wikibase
Please note that starting with this release, the Wikibase extension must be
enabled in MediaWiki using the Extension Registration mechanism. If you
have been providing your own MediaWiki configuration file
(LocalSettings.php) for your Wikibase container, make sure to check these
upgrade instructions
<https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-pipeline/blob/f2555b07494c9df691cd…>
.
Are you looking for (more) documentation?
Our Wikibase documentation <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase> is the
way to go for our installation instructions and FAQ. For Wikibase 1.39
developer documentation, have a look at
https://doc.wikimedia.org/Wikibase/REL1_39/.

Dear Community,
The Suite survey is almost done, we would like to close it by *next Monday*.
*Thank you.*
You have been so helpful with this.
This gives us a lot of input to work with and build a strategy for what's
about to come.
If you would like to share your view as well, you still have some days left!
It doesn't take longer than 10 minutes, so it might fit in some of your
agendas still.
Here you'll find the link
<https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/Wikibase_Suite-User-Research-02-23/>.
We're looking forward to sharing and discussing insights with you soon!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Cheers!
Valerie on behalf of the Wikibase Suite team.

Hi all,
I don't see my Monday post in the list archives, so I can't amend it.
I am attempting to bring a wikidata property, if present, into query results on my wikibase.cloud instance, but am getting nothing.
I have managed to create what I think is the simplest code to demonstrate my problem.
The below query ( https://tinyurl.com/2f8wzeoj ) executes without error.
Am I missing something, or can we not use Wikidata as a SERVICE?
Thanks for any insight you may have!

Dear Community,
We're almost there. Only one more week and we can finally have more insight
into what you need to use Wikibase Suite in a way that serves your needs
best.
*Why* is this so important to us?
We're currently in a moment of breathing back life into Suite with more
capacities and focus that allows for new actions and progresses.
As with all we do, we'd like to hear what you think so that we can
incorporate your suggestions into our planning.
This is, of course, not your last chance to make your voice heard, but it's
an important one as it sets the ground for what's about to come next and
during this year.
You'll *find the survey here
<https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/Wikibase_Suite-User-Research-02-23/> *and
it won't take longer than 10 Minutes. That's a promise ;-)
Thanks a lot!

This month's regular meeting of the Wikibase Community User Group is set to be held today, Thursday, February 23 @16:00 UTC (17:00 Berlin): https://meet.jit.si/WikibaseLiveSession
The focus of today's meeting is data modelling, which was highlighted as a topic of interest in the recent Wikibase.cloud user research:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikibase_Cloud_UX_Research.pdf
If you have examples of modelling issues you resolved (or want to resolve) in Wikibase, or tools, articles or presentations you found useful, you're welcome to provide details in today's Etherpad:
<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WBUG_2023.02.23>
https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/WBUG_2023.02.23 or simply drop in to talk about them.
Due to illness, WMDE's Valerie can't facilitate today's meeting, but we can still get some good discussions going. If anyone has other topics to discuss, we'll have some time at the end too.
Hope to see you there later,
--

Dear Community,
After the Cloud survey that brought so many rich insights to us, we want to
continue with a survey specifically tailored to Suite users.
We would like to understand what role Wikibase plays in your organization
and identify what you need from Wikibase based on how you currently make
use of it.
The survey should take 10–15 mins to fill out, depending on whether you
choose to fill out the optional text fields.
You can take the survey here:
https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/Wikibase_Suite-User-Research-02-23/

delete it promptly.
Thank you. We appreciate your support!
