[Wikidata-l] cirrus search now default
by Lydia Pintscher 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hey :) Cirrus search is now default on Wikidata. This should considerably improve the search situation on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Search for special characters for example. It might still need some tweaking though. It'd be awesome if you could give the search a try and collect things at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Cirrus_search_is_now_de… that still don't work as they should.

Hey :) I just wanted to let you know that Wikisource is now enabled on test.wikidata.org. Nothing spectacular but some people asked. You can add sitelinks to Wikisource.

[Wikidata-l] Status PropertySuggester
by Weidhaas, Virginia 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Hi, first of all we would like to introduce ourselves. We are students from the wikidata.lib bachelor project at the chair of Prof. Dr. Naumann "Information Systems". We will work on Wikidata from October 2013 until June 2014. Our mentor is Anja Jentzsch. Every member is a student of the Hasso-Plattner-Institute in their fifth semester of Bachelor. We aim to provide an extension for wikidata, that simplifies adding statements by suggesting properties which fit to the item. BugZilla Ticket we relate to: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46555 Our Project Documentation: https://github.com/Wikidata-lib/Wikidata.lib/wiki/Intelligent-Forms Status: At the moment we have API functionality to return property suggestions ranked by correlation with an item or a set of property ids. You can try it out yourself here: http://suggester.wmflabs.org/wiki/index.php/Spezial:PropertySuggester Alternatively you can use the underlying api module "wbsgetsuggestions" The next step will be to integrate that functionality with the entityselector input field when adding statements to some item. We are looking forward to your feedback and ideas. Moritz, Christian, Virginia, Felix

[Wikidata-l] Welcome Adrian!
by Lydia Pintscher 09 Jan '14

09 Jan '14

Hey everyone :) I'm happy to announce that earlier this week Adrian Lang joined Wikimedia Germany's software development team. He'll be working part-time with us. His main focus will be helping out with user interface tasks around Wikidata. A bit of background about Adrian: He joined the German Wikipedia in 2007 and became a sysop that year. In 2008, he worked as a sysop on German Wikipedia and on Commons and as part of the German OTRS team, before he gradually left the community again. While active, he wrote various JavaScript tools for facilitating new images patrol, page deletion and moving images to Commons among other things. Afterward, he spent two years working on the PHP-based wiki engine DokuWiki as part of his professional life. For the last one and a half years, he worked as a freelance software developer focusing on doing JavaScript, client-side as well as with Node.js. We're thrilled to have Adrian on board. Please say hi if you see him around. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata labels
by Gerard Meijssen 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

Hoi, I am looking for people who are willing to spend 2 hours adding labels to wikidata in the languages of India and, in their own language. For several languages it will be possible to add 1% more labels in that time. Typically every Wikipedia article has a link to Wikidata. What I want to learn is if you find it easy to have Wikidata work for you in YOUR language. When you go to a Wikidata item, you will find that both "properties" and "qualifiers" may show up as numbers. They need a label in your language. Once a label has been added, it will be available everywhere. What I like to know is if you recognise that this is happening. Once you have added all the labels for one "item" or article, have a look at what Wikidata knows about an article about a similar subject. Have a look at what is in the news [1] change the "en" into the language code for your language. Please add some labels ... What I am particularly interested in is, if there are sequences where the labels can be automatically added. (for instance numbers representing years). Wikidata is used by the Tamil Wikipedia to extend search. I know that for some people this works well while for others it does not. This is a bug that is being looked after. With one percent more labels that are related to the information that exists and to what is in the news, Wikidata will provide better information. When these labels refer to horse [2] or any other subject that has a category in Commons, you will be able to find pictures by searching in YOUR language. Please let me/us know if and how this works for you. We want to learn how we can get to the tipping point where Wikidata is actually useful [3]. We want to learn what is needed to make Wikidata useful for you. Thanks, GerardM [1] http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/cloudy_concept.php?q=4597488&lang=en [2] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q726 [3] http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2013/12/wikidata-how-to-reach-its-tippin… PS if you add the #babel template on your user page, Wikidata itself will become easier for you to use.
