Dear Community,
My name is Adetayo Boluwatife Christiana, a current Outreachy intern for
Wikimedia contributing to the Project; “Wikidata For Education” or
“WikiCurricula”. I have been following the impactful work that Wikimedia is
doing to promote free knowledge, and I am eager to contribute my skills and
passion to such a noble cause.
To provide you with some context about my background, I have recently
written a blog on myself which can be accessed on my talk page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:BhbeeX> and I have also been
contributing to this project; WikiCurricula
<https://github.com/wikicurricula-uy/wikicurricula-boilerplate>, a curricula
digitisation project aiming to align Wikimedia projects with school
curricula with the help of Wikidata in three countries Ghana, Uruguay, and
Italy. I wrote a blog introducing WikiCurricula
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:BhbeeX/Think_About_Your_Audience>,
and I’m working towards improving this tool for a better user experience.
During my contribution to this project, I’ve been exposed to other
Wikimedia projects like “Wikidata”, “Wikipedia”, “translateWiki”,
“toolforge” and “metaWiki”.
My motivation to join Wikimedia's FOSS community as a developer is to meet
other contributors and get their help using other Wikimedia tools,
especially help using “TranslateWiki”. I look forward to connecting with
the community to take their ideas and suggestions on the dashboard.
Best regards,
Adetayo Boluwatife Christiana
Dear all,
Wikidata cities in the Ukrainian Odesa Oblast have a specialty:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q805554
the KOATUU ID is given as deprecated value (since these numbers were only valid until 2020).
What is the SPARQL search that gets these deprecated IDs?
much obliged,
Olaf

Hello,
This is a breaking change announcement relevant to those working with
Lexeme dumps.
In Lexeme dumps, "senses" and "forms" values, when not empty, are shown as
arrays. When these lists are empty, they are currently displayed as
objects. For example, values with content are displayed in array
format: "senses":[{"id":"L4-S1",...]
but empty values are treated as objects: "senses":{}
However, empty lists should be presented as arrays as well: "senses":[]
In this change, empty lists of forms and senses will be switched from
objects to arrays. This adjustment makes the dumps more consistent and
matches the same way non-empty values are presented. We will roll this
change out on February 8th.
We anticipate the impact of this change to be minimal and harmless for most
use cases. Therefore, we haven't generated a test dump, as it would demand
substantial resources and time. If you have any questions or concerns about
this change, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us in this ticket (
T305660 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T305660>).
Cheers,
