[Wikidata-l] header intact
by Vishnu Mohan 23 Jul '12

23 Jul '12

Yes, I want the subscription. I would like to know what will happen to chembox and drugbox? We are preparing an extension of chembox for polymers, and would like to know what will happen to them. Shall we wait for Wikidata, or proceed creating it within WPedia as a template?

Heya folks, We've updated the demo system again today. It'd be great if you could give it some testing - especially the simple language switcher in the sidebar of the repository. http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Community Communications for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] DrTrigonBot
by Dr. Trigon 13 Jul '12

13 Jul '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello All! I just wanted to quickly introduce DrTrigonBot to you all in case you do not know it already... ;) I think DrTrigonBot could easily be used to add a wide variety of data from several pages to the database, as explained in [1] also. [1] http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata/Data_collaborators&dif… The bot is running since quite some time with success and updates templates in dewiki, enwiki, nlwiki and others. So I think it would be a good thing to make it compatible with wikidata and use it there also. So what would I have to do in order to achieve this and be of some use to you? Thanks and Greetings DrTrigon -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk//APQACgkQAXWvBxzBrDDx9gCfdCIsGmlBrdfSi6qwnAA5Ef2X QJQAn3mlS+siO/N/DntPEm/+8ZwdTipI =CfCH -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
