[Wikidata-l] unexpected error info in HTML
by Jiang BIAN 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi, I noticed some pages we crawled containing error message like this; <div id="mw-content-text" lang="zh-CN" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"><p class="error">Failed to render property P373: Wikibase\LanguageWithConversion::factory: given languages do not have the same parent language</p> But when I open the url in browser, there is no such message. And using index.php can also get normal content without error messages. Here are examples you can retry: bad $ wget 'http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/Google' good $ wget 'http://zh.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Google' Looks like something is wrong on Wikipedia side, anything need to fix?

At first I thought you meant that it would be good to implement this in Zotero https://www.zotero.org/ , Annotator https://github.com/okfn/annotator , or a similar tool, to help a user keep track of their own favorite Wikidata facts. Now I understand :) that you'd like, perhaps, a client-side browser plugin or script that takes some highlighted text, offers the user a GUI to fix up the statement and source, and then feeds it into Wikidata. Am I right? -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation

Re: [Wikidata-l] Wikidata Map Interface
by Denny Vrandečić 31 Jul '13

Hi Jacobo, I hope you don't mind that I share the answer with the list. I think the answer to this question might be of general interest. the JavaScript creating the visualization in the browser is here: <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/172199972/map/map.js> As you can see it is just a simple usage of HTML5 canvas. It requires two data files as these (careful, large): <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/172199972/map/wdlabel.js> <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/172199972/map/graph.js> The first contains all items, their latlong, and their label. The second contains the graph, the way items are connected to each other. The latter two files are created by the following Python scripts, in two steps. First, you need to create the knowledge base. This can be done with the following scripts: <https://github.com/mkroetzsch/wda> Use there the script < https://github.com/mkroetzsch/wda/blob/master/wda-analyze-edits-and-write-k… > Careful when you run it, it will download all Wikidata dumps. This might need a few free Gigabyte and a decent internet connection. Now, you should have the file kb.txt.gz, containing the knowledge base. By the way, you can also download the knowledge base as it is created nightly by us here: <https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/172199972/kb.txt.gz> Finally, you will need a few scripts from here: <https://github.com/vrandezo/wikidata-analytics> Run them in the following order: geolabel.py - extracts a list of all locations and their label from the knowledge base < https://github.com/vrandezo/wikidata-analytics/blob/master/geolabel.py> geolabel2wdlabel.py - transforms the list to JavaScript for ready consumption by the Wikidata Map Interface < https://github.com/vrandezo/wikidata-analytics/blob/master/geolabel2wdlabel… > geo.py - extract a list of all locations from the knowledge base < https://github.com/vrandezo/wikidata-analytics/blob/master/geo.py> graph.py - extracts the simple knowledge graph from the knowledge base < https://github.com/vrandezo/wikidata-analytics/blob/master/graph.py> geograph.py - extracts the part of the simple knowledge graph that connects geographical items with each other (needs geo and graph) < https://github.com/vrandezo/wikidata-analytics/blob/master/geograph.py> geograph2geojs.py - transforms the geograph to JavaScript for ready consumption by the Wikidata Map Interface < https://github.com/vrandezo/wikidata-analytics/blob/master/geograph2geojs.py > This should you give the two files wdlabel.js and graph.js, which will be called by the Wikidata Map Interface (see it's HTML source in order to see how). This process is run nightly on a machine we have standing here in the office. I am planning to set this up on labs, but didn't find the time yet. I hope this helps, Denny 2013/7/29 Jacobo Nájera <jacobo(a)metahumano.org> > Hi Denny, > > I am interested in Wikidata Map Interface, Where can i see and download > the code?

[Wikidata-l] All interwikis from nl.wikivoyage have been moved to Wikidata
by Romaine Wiki 30 Jul '13

30 Jul '13

Hello all, I am happy to announce that all interwikis from all articles, templates, project pages (except some archive pages) have been moved to Wikidata. This includes the removal of all local interwikis. With this I roughly checked all pages if they are connected to the right article on Wikidata. I solved a lot of interwikiconflict, often with disambiguation pages. I also made sure that every articles has an item on Wikidata. The Dutch Wikivoyage is the first Wikivoyage that fully switched to Wikidata. Greetings, Romaine
