[Wikidata-l] Mandatory update for interwikibots
by Vito 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Hi all! Since Wikidata is going to be implemented on every Wikimedia's project, in accordance to this (quick) rfc https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Wikidata_rollout_and_i… interwikibots that are still adding interwikilinks to any wikipedia language project will be temporary disabled by stewards. Owners will be able to re-enable their bots simply asking on https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SRG or on the irc. Have a nice day! Vito

[Wikidata-l] P:238, 239, 240
by Sven 07 Mar '13

I just created three properties but my Internet connection died before I could update the list of properties page and my smartphone (using to write this) is terrible for editing. Could someone make sure that the list page is updated. Thanks, Sven ( User:Sven Manguard )

by Lydia Pintscher 07 Mar '13

07 Mar '13

Heya :) We've just finished the deployment of phase 1 on all 282 remaining Wikipedia. Wohooooo! Blog post for that is here http://blog.wikimedia.de/?p=14333 We have also deployed new code here including a lot of bugfixes, localization updates and a new data type: string. It is supposed to mainly be used for things like ISBN and similar identifiers. Some of the other bugfixes/changes you might care about: * improved diff view * fixed issue with ZWNJ (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45111) * improved the item view to better handle deleted properties Please let me know if there are any questions or problems.

[Wikidata-l] Chronological axes in Wikidata
by Joan Creus 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Being a high school (15) student who likes programming, I often develop software to help me (&fellow students) study. In two days time we have a history exam with a ton of dates to learn, so I began thinking of a way to represent it in an axis via a web page. And Wikidata came to my head. I guess it could be really useful, given the property system (it could take into account single events and also periods such as wars). I'll try to do it (obviously, I'm now in term exams though it could be an incredible way to procrastinate...), but anyway, is there any interest in this? I guess it could replace the current rather awkward-looking axes. >From a technical viewpoint, could it be feasible to make it as an extension to Mediawiki which displays HTML5? I have some experience with MediaWiki's PHP but not much. Thanks in advance, and sorry for my non-native Englisn, Joan Creus.

[Wikidata-l] One entity per page question
by Yuri Astrakhan 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

During an IRC discussion, I was told that a page in namespace 0 like Q219937<http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q219937> does not necessarily have a one-to-one relationship with an entity like "Bonnie and Clyde". wbgetentities<http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&ids=Q219937&format=j…> API call gives this: "entities": { "q219937": { "pageid": 214789, "ns": 0, "title": "Q219937", "lastrevid": 7969610, "modified": "2013-02-27T09:17:25Z", "id": "q219937", "type": "item", "aliases": { ...... How is it possible to have more than one entity in one wiki page titled Q219937, if the entity id is the same as page title? In what cases would it be used? Is that a needed extra complexity? In the case of Bonnie and Clyde (one wikipage in language A vs two wikipages in B), wikidata can have three entities with links to static redirects, apparently solving the need of one-to-many. I am only considering item entities (ns:0), since query pages will obviously have more than one entity associated with them. Thanks!

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata discussion on Hacker News
by Steven Walling 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5328472 For those unfamiliar, this is a mostly U.S.-dominated site for hackers, startup people, etc. so the discussion doesn't tend to shy away from the technical. I'm sure a few Wikidata devotees are Hacker Newsies themselves. Steven

[Wikidata-l] Which API is to get wikidata.org content in real-time
by Jiang BIAN 06 Mar '13

06 Mar '13

Hi mediawiki developers, We (Google) are trying to maintain our internal mirror of wikidata.orgup-to-date in real-time, so that our indexing pipeline can get latest interlanguage information in real-time. I noticed wikidata.org is also powered by standard MediaWiki software, where standard query api to a specific revision works, e.g. revision query: http://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=revisions&format=xml&rv… and recentchanges: http://wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=recentchanges&format=xml&rc… My questions are: - Are the APIs above ("action=query&prop=revisions" and "actioon=query&list=recentchanges") the supported way to retrieve wikidata.org in realtime? - Is there any document about the json format in response? It looks to me that "links" are about interwiki/interlanguage links (or sitelinks in wikidata.org's terminology), but I feel more comfortable if I see some official document about this. - There are some ids like "dewiki", "enwiki" etc, which I guess can be interpreted to corresponding languages "de", "en" respectively. But is there a reliable map from these *wiki to the language code? And some are even using 3-letter prefix, e.g. gotwiki, xmfwiki. Thanks -- Jiang BIAN This email may be confidential or privileged.

Re: [Wikidata-l] When will be the next wikidata dump?
by Jianyong Zhang 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Thanks for all the reply. The new dump seems having generated. However, it failed, see http://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/20130228/. I'm wondering how people handle such failure. Can it be fixed soon, or we have to wait another 11-12 days for next dump? Thanks.

Re: [Wikidata-l] gene templates -> wikidata, when?
by Benjamin Good 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Thanks for the feedback. I think we will push forward and work directly on wikidata. This is a conversion from database(s)->wikipedia to database(s)->wikidata->wikipedia All of our code will be and is open source. We'd be happy to share and to build on what other bot developers are doing. Is there a list of wikidata bot code repos somewhere?
