Hey!
After 6 months we are going to remove a compatibility layer from the
Wikibase source code that may affect your Wikibase installation if it
uses custom entity types. If your LocalSettings.php contains something
like
$wgWBRepoSettings['entityNamespaces'][CONTENT_MODEL_WIKIBASE_ITEM] = WB_NS_ITEM;
or
$wgWBRepoSettings['entityNamespaces']['wikibase-item'] = WB_NS_ITEM;
you should change it to
$wgWBRepoSettings['entityNamespaces']['item'] = WB_NS_ITEM;
In other words: The entityNamespaces[*] setting required content model
IDs like "wikibase-item" before, but requires entity types like "item"
now. That's all.
Best
Thiemo

Hi,
ContentMine is currently looking to hire a Wikimedian in Residence for
the WikiFactMine Project (see:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/ContentMine/WikiFactMine).
It's a six month long position and we're looking for someone who could
spend around half their time in Cambridge, UK. We expect it to have
quite a lot of Wikidata related work.
If you're interested or know someone who might be then the advert can
be seen at: http://contentmine.org/jobs
Cheers,
Tom
Hi All,
I just wanted to send a reminder for the new GLAM-Strategist role at the
Wikimedia Foundation. Especially if you have experience with the GLAM-Wiki
community, this would be a good fit: https://boards.
greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/584916
We are particularly looking for folks that can help us develop partnership
models and community capacity within our existing community around Wikidata
and Structured Data on Commons.
Cheers,
Alex Stinson

Hi Lea,
I appreciate the weekly updates. I would, however, suggest simply posting
tiny urls for the query examples.
Cheers,

Dear all,
I am happy to announce that applications to attend WikiCite ‘17 officially open
today <https://goo.gl/forms/Kb9Wl6Xfw2EmFqEr2>.
About the event
WikiCite 2017 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2017> is a 3-day
conference, summit and hack day to be hosted in Vienna, Austria, on May
23-25, 2017. It expands on efforts started last year at WikiCite 2016
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2016/Report> to design a central
bibliographic repository, as well as tools and strategies to improve
information quality and verifiability in Wikimedia projects.
Our goal is to bring together Wikimedia contributors, data modelers,
information and library science experts, software engineers, designers and
academic researchers who have experience working with Wikipedia's citations
and bibliographic data.
WikiCite 2017 will be a venue to:
-
Day 1. (Conference) – present progress on existing work and initiatives
for citations and bibliographic data across Wikimedia projects
-
Day 2. (Summit) – discuss technical, social, outreach and policy
directions
-
Day 3. (Hack) – get together to build, based on new ideas and
applications
More information on the event can be found here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2017>:

Hi Vladimir
Yikes. I'm glad to know as we are just starting to tag items.
Is there another property that could be substituted instead on Wikidata?
We need a category to constrain the items by a query -- to identify the subject as being part of the Black Lunch Table area of interest, which is Visual artists of the African diaspora.
Any ideas?
It seems wrong to tag items with Black Lunch Table, as that has little meaning across the projects, as far as conveying quickly what the connection is -- at least for the Task list functionality. That was why the categories seemed so logical.

The new reconciliation service works very good, Antonion! Thank you!
