Hello everybody,
A fellow developer just pointed me to the question, how to best
represent albums in a discography. Should one use P527("has part")?
The same applies to how to represent titles of an album? And how to
manage titles having variations (remixes etc.) that appear on multiple
albums?
What would your advice be?
Greetings,
Fredo Erxleben
Hi there,
I was wondering how to get the language mappings between different wikipedia pages. This information seems to be available on Wikidata as I can find it through browsing different pages on Wikidata such as http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q213710 and the https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Langlinks_table mentions a langlinks table, but I can't figure out how to get a dump.
The "Wiki interlanguage link records" at http://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/20140705/ looked promising but that seems to contain user information if I'm not mistaken. For example, " select count(*), ll_title from langlinks group by 2 order by 1 desc limit 20;” results in:
+----------+--------------------------------------+
| count(*) | ll_title |
+----------+--------------------------------------+
| 284 | User:تفکر |
| 272 | user:OffsBlink |

I checked out the #mediawiki IRC channel someone recommended the "Interwiki link tracking records" but those seem to also contain al sorts of other links, and I don't see a way to filter out the "in other languages" links. It would be great if you could help me out.
Thanks!

Hello,
I try to get all properties P31 "is instance of" by using Magnus
Wikidata query [1]. This was not successfully at different days. I need
it to update my geocoordinates projects Wikipedia-world[2] and it was
working in May 2014.
I think data access is also important for other projects and I see no
alternative, so somebody should work on this problem with high priority.

Dear all,
I have almost made everything ready for testing for the GSoC '14 project:
Wikidata-Web-Annotator.
I have setup the test site here
<http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-annotation-tool/WikidataAnnotationFeeder/…>
.
First login using OpenID to authenticate with the Pundit software.
Try selecting some text, then use annotate text option, futher use Pundit's
triple composer to compose triples using selectors and vocabularies
retrieved from Wikidata.
Subject and Object are to filled with Wikidata Items, while Predicates with
properties.
Check for notebooks(in Pundit notebooks are the containers for annotations)
in right most corner of the plugin by clicking on your name > selecting
manage notebooks. Notebooks must be public for push to work. Now after
annotating use Push to Wikidata button as shown in the figure below
This will open a new window where you can select which annotations are to
be pushed. You must authenticate with Wikimedia before doing that as
Wikidata is fed by using your Wikimedia username. After this select the
annotations you want to push and the click on the 'Push annotations'
button, status column will show you about the progress of the push.
I have tested it but not completely.
I have checked for most of the cases like:
1. If claim exists-> then try to push references only.
2. If not create claim -> then push references.
These are just example of cases I have checked upon, there is much more.
You all are welcome to test the Annotator so we can further move on to
package it as plugin. Discuss the issues, bugs etc.
Also test page may take time to load.
Example page which has been fed with this annotator is
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2336535.
In this item, claim for P277 has been wholly added with references via
Annotator.
While claim for P106 was already existing and I have added references to it
via Annotator.
Here is flowchart showing the workflow:
For closer look check here http://www.gliffy.com/go/publish/5918718
Repository for all these can be found here
1. Main source including modified Pundit :
https://github.com/apsdehal/WikidataAnnotationFeeder
2. Login and API handler: https://github.com/apsdehal/WAL
3. Middleware App: https://github.com/apsdehal/Bajo
Please feel free to add issues or Pull requests there.
Thanks

Hi all,
I am pleased to announce the release of two new GuidedTours—we now have
interactive tutorials for editing items and for editing statements! Both
tours are available from the Wikidata:Tours
<http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tours> portal. Go ahead and try them
out, and please share with others who may be interested. Feedback can be
left on the portal talk page at Wikidata_talk:Tours
<http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Tours> —I'm also planning on
conducting some user testing with people who are not already familiar with
Wikidata.
I'm very excited to see these live and would like to extend a large **thank
you** to Bene* who worked with me to implement the tours! We have a few
more tours planned and I really hope they'll be helpful for getting new
users comfortable and confident with editing.
cheers,
Helen (aka Thepwnco)
Hey folks :)
Next week we will deploy an API change in preparation for support for
Wikimedia Commons. wblinktitle will return a prefixed ID starting Tuesday
night if there are no complications:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52732 This is necessary as
Commons support will break the assumption that our identifiers are always
of the form someletter+number like for example Q1234.
Sorry for the disruption. If you need help with adapting your tools please
let me know.
Cheers
Lydia
