[Wikidata-l] Re-enable quick editing in Wikidata please
by Romaine Wiki 15 Oct '14

15 Oct '14

Hello all, Recently Wikidata was changed which caused it much more work for especially power users. It is no longer easy to add/change parts of pages. Each time I now have to edit a section and save it before I can continue in another section. A simple adding of 4 pages results in much more clicks. Was: click + paste + save + add + lang + paste + save Now: edit + click + paste + scrolling + save (outside my screen) + edit + add + lang + paste + save (on not expecting place) And that four times... This creates a much less efficient working situation. That is not workable. Can the previous situation be restored? Or can someone write a gadget so that this change is bypassed? Thanks! Romaine

[Wikidata-l] Content negotiation for Wikidata entity export in RDF/N-Triple
by Cristian Consonni 10 Oct '14

10 Oct '14

Hi all, I have signaled to a list of Italian developers/people interested in (Linked) Open Data (known as Spaghetti Open Data[*]) the fact that Wikidata item can be export in RDF/N-Triple: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q1.rdf https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q1.nt I have been asked if content negotiation is supported. I have no idea of what to answer ^_^. Any help is appreciated :) C [*] the list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spaghettiopendata and the website: http://www.spaghettiopendata.org/

Greetings! We invite you to join our next Structured Data Q&A on IRC office hours next Thursday, Oc. 16, at 18:00 UTC. Our Multimedia team and the Wikidata team will be on hand for this discussion, as well as some of the community volunteers who are helping guide this project, such as Multichill and TheDJ. During this hour-long IRC chat, we will discuss our next steps for this Structured Data project, and give you an update on our bootcamp in Berlin. Please RSVP here, so we know who plans to attend: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Structured_data#Discussions Early next week, we will update our Structured Data pages with our latest work on this project, and send another email to invite you to review them. And if you are based in Europe, we also invite you to join the Amsterdam Hackathon on November 14-16 , 2014. Many of us will be at this event, and plan to give more updates as well as do some hacking together. You can register here: https://docs.google.com/a/wikimedia.org/forms/d/1Gpvz3BH5Y4dqSIiwv2HE_X8fOP… Please spread the word in your community, and invite them to join this chat, and/or the hackathon.

[Wikidata-l] Item both subclass and instance?
by Alain Cuvillier 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hi all, why are both the subclass of and instance of properties set for the ethanol (showcase) item? For me ethanol is a single concrete alcohol and it is not a class. There is only one ethanol, with a single chemical formula and structure, so only the instance of property is right for this item ? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q153 Thank you Alain

Re: [Wikidata-l] [Wikimedia-l] Nobel Peace Prize announcement and editathon
by Gerard Meijssen 09 Oct '14

09 Oct '14

Hoi, Jon a great initiative. I hope many people will consider updating Wikidata as well. As you know, Wikidata serves many languages with results when there is no article available. It is done especially well when people choose the "Reasonator" icon or when they choose a Wikipedia article in another language. Of particular interest are the commonalities like other awards, their alma mater, where they are employed. When people who are in the public eye are known for other awards as well, we find that these connections are important and make people find the associated people and places of interest as well.

Andra is working on a scheduler for the update bot now. (And thanks to the tips about wbeditentity function it should go faster now...) We have a grant to expand the scope of the original gene wiki project ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Wiki) to a) use wikidata as its structural foundation and b) expand into other areas such as genes and diseases. Looking forward to continuing to work with the community to make wikidata a key hub of open biological and medical information on the Web. -Ben On Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 1:23 PM, Denny Vrandečić <vrandecic(a)google.com> wrote: > Wow!

[Wikidata-l] Language tags for labels.
by P. Blissenbach 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hi everyone, When entering labels in WikiData, any world language should be allowed. Technical language/script/variety marking for internet ressources is currently defined in the IANA language subtag registry. Thus the above suggestion boils down to mark language selections for labels by a valid code as per the IANA language subtag registry, and allow each tag to be used (referred to) by editors entering labels. I created bug 71664 so as to overcome the current limitation. Purodha References: * http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-re… - IANA language subtag registry ** http://rishida.net/utils/subtags/ - Interactive query of the IANA language subtag registry * http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt - BCP 47 = Best Current Practice - Tags for Identifying Language * http://www.w3.org/International/articles/language-tags/ - Language tags in HTML and XML (by the W3C) * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71664 -- (this e-mail probably scanned by NSA and GCHQ and others)

Hey folks :) Here's your summary of what happened around Wikidata over the past 2 weeks. Sorry for not sending one last week. John and I could use some help with putting the weekly summary together. Let us know if you want to help. Discussions - A new blocking policy <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Blocking_policy> has been accepted <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/User_conduct_po…> . - Proposal for an individual engagement grant to use Wikidata items for citations <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Tools_for_using_wikidata_ite…> needs your input - RfC: redirect vs. deletion <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Redirect_vs._de…> Events <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events>/Press/Blogs <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Press_coverage> - past: Open Government WikiHack organized by Wikimedia DC in Washington, DC - upcoming: Wikidata training organized by Wikimedia UK with Magnus in London <https://donate.wikimedia.org.uk/civicrm/event/info?id=147&reset=1> Other Noteworthy Stuff - With the deployment next Tuesday you will be able to edit all sitelinks at once as well as all fields of the "in other languages" box. This is an intermediate step towards the new user interface and will evolve further over the next weeks. You can see what is coming on Tuesday now already on test.wikidata.org. - WikiProject Names <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Names> aims to improve name related data on Wikidata. Initial focus is on first names (given names). Half of items for first names still need cleaning up, but 15% of items for persons already have a given name defined.

See http://www.eagle-network.eu - Added a hook point to allow 3rd party users (like the EAGLE project) of Wikibase to control what goes into the search index - Started work on a widget that lets you edit badges right in the item instead of going to the special page - Use checkboxes instead of a multiselect to edit badges on d:Special:SetSiteLink <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:SetSiteLink> - Work on hhvm-related issues in Wikibase and temporarily disabled the beta feature on Wikidata until fixes are deployed for the issues. - Deployed new code on test.wikidata!
