Wikilabels now enforces SSL
by Amir Sarabadani 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hey, Some people reported that they have trouble labelling edits in wikilabels [1] (specially for Wikidata and that's why I'm cross-posting to wikidata-l too). That was due to the fact that wikilabels is behind a proxy on cloud VPS which confuses the application and sometimes it thinks the request is made over HTTP and changes the links/redirects to http instead of https and basically jumping over to SSL and not-SSL continuously causing OAuth redirect loops (because cookies can't jump around like requests). There were several options but the most secure and sane one was to enforce SSL and tell the application to consider everything as SSL request. This would solve lots of bugs and issues in wikilabels. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by it. It was difficult to understand the underlying problem because it was happening for some people and not all and was hard to reproduce the bug. Also, If you encounter any (new) issue, Please let me know immediately.

NCI Thesaurus ID links not working
by Thad Guidry 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

Hello esteemed team ! Someone noted on Property Talk about https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P1748 that an external id should be used ? I added just a few codes to test what is happening, and the CODE on the left does populate, like this one for Death https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1931388 it shows my newly added C28554 on the left under External properties, but yeah, it is not a clickable link. The Formatter URL does indeed work when populated with that C28554 code...so... What could be the issue with the CODE not displaying with the Formatter URL and being clickable ? -Thad

Wikidata Toolkit 0.9
by Thomas Pellissier Tanon 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Dear all, We just released Wikidata Toolkit 0.9. Wikidata Toolkit is a Java library allowing to easily reuse Wikidata content using dumps or the API. It also provides helpers for editing. The highlights of this release are: - Support of Android. - A lot of improvements in the editing component (many thanks to Antonin!). - The RDF module is now emitting the same graphs as Wikibase and has been migrated from Sesame to RDF4J. - Basic support of Lexemes, Forms and Senses. - JDK 7 is not supported anymore. - The simple implementation of DataModel objects has been removed. The library is now using only the Jackson implementation in order to ease its maintenance and avoid conversions. It may break your code if you are relying directly on one of the two previous implementations. For more details, please see the release notes: https://github.com/Wikidata/Wikidata-Toolkit/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES.md#v… Best, Thomas (Tpt)

Dear Mr. or Ms., I thank you for your efforts. When screening Wikidata entities of diseases, I discovered that some of them are duplicate.

About adding a Wikidata property
by Houcemeddine A. Turki 01 Aug '18

Dear Mr. or Ms., I thank you for your efforts. I applied for a new Wikidata property entitled "Countries with high prevalence". This relation highlights which countries have a high prevalence of a particular gene or disease. You can find it in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Countries_with_hig…. Please vote for it as it can provide an absolutely excellent advances to the field of epidemiology. Yours Sincerely, Houcemeddine Turki
