wikidata query service CONSTRUCT results
by Peter F. Patel-Schneider 19 Aug '18

19 Aug '18

Hi: How can I control the form of CONSTRUCT results from the wikidata query service? On the web interface I can get the results in various formats (but not something that can be read into SPARQL, I don't think). Using curl all I get is XML/RDF. What I really want is n-triples so that I can concatenate several results, but Turtle would be better than RDF/XML. peter

Normalization of change tag schema
by Léa Lacroix 30 Jul '18

30 Jul '18

Hello all, Our team is refactoring some code around the change tags on Recent Changes. This can impact people using the database on ToolForge. Currently, the tags are stored in the table change_tag in the column ct_tag. In the next days, we will add a column ct_tag_id with a unique identifier for these tags. A new table change_tag_def that will store the tag id, the message, and more information like how many times this tag is used on the local wiki. On the long term, we plan to drop the column ct_tag since the tag will be identified with ct_tag_id. This change will happen on: - French Wikipedia: Monday July 2nd - All other wikis: from July 9th If there is any problem (trouble with saving edits, slow down of recent changes…) please create a subtask of T185355 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185355> or contact Ladsgroup <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ladsgroup>.
