[Wikidata-l] Some questions
by Luca Martinelli 24 Oct '12

24 Oct '12

Hi there, I got a number of questions. Hope not to bother. 1) Has the testing of phase 1 already started on hu.wp? 2) Will phase 1 be also expanded to ns=/=0 (i.e. templates, categories, help pages...) and to other projects (i.e. Wikisource, Wikiquote...)? 3) When will be possible to test phase 2 on Wikidata-test-repo? 4) Is there already a script for testing the automatic upload of interlinks? I'd like to run some tests with my bot. Thanks in advance. -- Luca "Sannita" Martinelli http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utente:Sannita

Sumana says i forward this e-mail to wikidata-l. So i did it :) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Amir Ladsgroup <ladsgroup(a)gmail.com> Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 03:18:57 +0330 Subject: Wikidata bug (or semi-bug ;) To: wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hello I'm working on running PWB on wikidata and i want to do some edits via API so i did this: http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/w/api.php?action=wbsetitem&id=392&da… but gives me this: http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/w/index.php?title=Q392&diff=105675&o… As you can see, the label changed but the change is not shown in "List of pages linked to this item(79 entries)" section.

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata update percolation
by Daniel Kinzler 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Hi! I have published a draft of how changes on the wikidata repository are going to percolate to the client wikis: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/Percolation Any feedback would be appreciated! Of course, we are not starting this from scratch. We are currently implementing a stripped down, naive version of the draft. Basically, it works like this: * Each change on the repository is recorded in the changes table. * On each client wiki, a poll script periodically checks the changes table. * The polling script maintains a local copy of the latest version of each data entity on each cluster used by client wikis. * If any page on the wiki is affected by the change, an entry representing that change is injected into the client's recentchanges table. * Wiki pages that are affected by a change are invalidated. I think this will work for now, that is, for a small number of client wikis. The new draft is an attempt to make this architecture scale up to several hundred client wikis on multiple database clusters. -- daniel

[Wikidata-l] "Breaking" change
by Jeroen De Dauw 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Hey, The new site functionality needed by Wikibase has finally been merged into MediaWiki core and been removed from Wikibase itself. This means that if you update Wikibase to master you will also need to update core to master and vice versa. The two relevant commits are: * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/23528/ * https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/27726/ Cheers -- Jeroen De Dauw http://www.bn2vs.com Don't panic. Don't be evil. --

[Wikidata-l] Main Page design
by Lydia Pintscher 12 Oct '12

12 Oct '12

Heya folks, It's time we figure out what the Main Page of Wikidata should look like. It'd be great if you helped out with this. I've started a page on Meta here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Main_Page_draft We'll copy the content of that page to Wikidata once it's live. Go crazy and make it useful and pretty ;-) Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Community Communications for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
