[Wikidata-l] New initiative to promote friendliness
by David Cuenca 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Worried about the harshness that lately has been developing, I have started a new initiative to counter that by promoting more dialogue, civility, and friendliness https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Shelter When you are with friends you don't need to put any rule or condition, because they are people you like to be with. If each one does a little effort to become someone who everybody likes to be with, then all harshness will disappear and Wikidata will become even more wonderful \o/ And even if we don't reach utopia tomorrow, at least we'll be on the right direction :) I would like to invite everyone to participate in this initiative and to come up with new ways to reduce conflict before it happens. Thanks! Micru

[Wikidata-l] JSON dumps available
by Lydia Pintscher 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

Hey everyone :) Many people writing tools around Wikidata are using the standard XML dumps. They're not fun to work with. We're now also publishing JSON dumps. They're generated weekly at the moment. You can find them at http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/wikidata/ The current one still has one little issue: We try to have one entity per line in the dump so it can be processed line-by-line. In the current dump there are a few exceptions. It's still valid JSON but not super nice. This will be fixed with the next one. I hope we'll see a few more cool tools developed thanks to this.

Hello everyone! Wikinews phase 1 (sitelinks) have just had a date announced by myself over on project chat < https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Wikinews_Sitelinks_.28P…>. The expected data is August 19th, just after Wikimania :) The Wikinews page could do with some co-ordination from the Wikidata community and the Wikinews community, so please do participate and propose ideas!

[Wikidata-l] Main page redesign
by Helen Halbert 22 Jul '14

22 Jul '14

Hello, Just a heads up that as part of my OPW internship I am now working on updating the Main page. I've put together a summary of areas for improvement and recommendations for a redesign here <http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Portal_Redesign>; please review and comment when you can (under #Feedback). Ideas and brainstorming on possible visuals to include and ways of featuring fresh and dynamic content (without the need for constant maintenance by users) are very welcome! FYI, I am also now working on a redesign mock-up of the Main page and will be sharing this in the upcoming days so there will be another opportunity to give feedback before any changes are implemented. Looking forward to your comments, Helen (aka Thepwnco)

[Wikidata-l] Representations of albums in a discography
by Fredo Erxleben 21 Jul '14

21 Jul '14

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

[Wikidata-l] Language mappings between different wikipedia pages
by Erp, M.G.J. van 18 Jul '14

18 Jul '14

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 | | 215 | User:YourEyesOnly | | 179 | User:MoiraMoira | | 65 | User:AvocatoBot | | 35 | User:Shikai shaw | | 35 | user:Shuaib-bot | | 33 | user:לערי ריינהארט | | 33 | User:Leyo | | 27 | user:Лобачев Владимир | | 20 | User:Wagino 20100516 | | 18 | user:Gangleri | | 17 | user:I18n | | 16 | user:Meursault2004 | | 12 | User:Labant | | 11 | User:Stryn | | 11 | User:angelia2041 | | 10 | user:Kelvin | | 10 | User:JCIV | | 9 | Template:Mbox | +----------+———————————————————+ 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!

[Wikidata-l] stable Wikidata data access ?
by Kolossos 16 Jul '14

16 Jul '14

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.
