I would like to propose that we add how popular is each sitelink to WDQS.
This would allow queries that order results by wiki article popularity. For
example, this query lists Wikidata items without French labels but with
French articles, ordered by how often they gets viewed in frwiki.

The link above is using my experimental server that combines both Wikidata
and OpenStreetMap data in one database. Take a look at some other examples
related to "pageviews" (in the examples list). In depth information about
the server:

Hello,
If I am on a Wikidata item page (QXXXXX), what's the easiest way to
navigate to the Wikipedia links other than manual scrolling? Sometimes
(actually a lot of times) I need to check Wikipedia articles (not only
English) before I add description part. Is there any user script or
something that puts Wikipedia links above statement or any other suggestion?
Thanks
Tito Dutta

Dear Wikidata community,
YAGO is a large general-purpose knowledge base derived from Wikipedia
and other sources. It contains more than 10 million entities (like
persons, organizations, cities, etc.) and more than 120 million
facts about these entities. It also contains time and space information,
and unifies data from Wikipedias in 11 languages. YAGO is available for
free at https://yago-knowledge.org
We are happy to announce that the source code of YAGO is now available
as well as open source under the GPL v3 license. This allows everybody
to use the extraction code, and also to contribute to YAGO.
Please find the GitHub link here: https://github.com/yago-naga/yago3
We are very grateful for the work of the Wikimedia community (including
Wikipedia and Wikidata), and we hope that our project can be of use.
Sincerely,
the YAGO team
at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics
and Télécom ParisTech University

Hello,
I wanted to make you aware of our new paper "Doctoral Advisor or Medical
Condition: Towards Entity-specific Rankings of Knowledge Base Properties",
which deals with the problem of determining the interestingness of Wikidata
properties for individual entities.
In the paper we develop a dataset of 350 random (entity, property1,
property2) records, and use human judgments to determine the more
interesting property in each record.
We then show that state-of-the-art techniques (Wikidata Property Suggestor,
Google search) achieve 61% precision on predicting the winner in
high-agreement records, which can be lifted to 74% by using linguistic
similarity, but remains still significantly below human performance (87.5%
precision).

2017).

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to ask since when this limit has been in effect. We are
analyzing the logs for the SPARQL endpoint and are seeing quite a change
in the spread of the workload across the month, but it seems to start as
early as the end of may.
Greetings,
Adrian
