Hello everyone,
We have a quick update regarding the Mismatch Finder tool. In the next
deployment scheduled for November 1, the tool will let you report
mismatches on qualifiers in addition to the main part of a statement.
A Quick Overview
For those who might not be familiar with the Mismatch Finder, it's a tool
that helps spot potential mismatches between Wikidata Items and external
databases, presenting them to editors for review and correction. This tool
is also used to suggest new statements that should be part of Wikidata, but
need a human-review step before adding them. You can explore more about it
at Wikidata:Mismatch Finder
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Mismatch_Finder>.
What's on the Horizon?
The Mismatch Finder currently allows mismatch providers to report
mismatches to data that is stored in the main part of a statement. In the
upcoming deployment, mismatch providers will have the option to report
mismatches found within qualifiers, as important data is stored there as
well. This change will require mismatch uploaders to adjust their workflow,
as we will introduce a new 'type' column to the accepted CSVs. The CSV
upload will look as follows:
CSV for a Q42 statement with qualifier, where both the statement and the
qualifier are mismatched:
item_id,statement_guid,property_id,wikidata_value,external_value,external_url,type
Q42,Q42$A3B1288B-67A9-4491-A3AA-20F881C292B9,P3373,Q14623673,”Shoshanna
Adams”,example.com,statement
Q42,Q42$A3B1288B-67A9-4491-A3AA-20F881C292B9,P1039,Q10943095,”cousin”,
example.com,qualifier
CSV for a Q42 statement with qualifier, where only the qualifier is
mismatched:
item_id,statement_guid,property_id,wikidata_value,external_value,external_url,type
Q42,Q42$A3B1288B-67A9-4491-A3AA-20F881C292B9,P1039,Q10943095,”cousin”,
example.com,qualifier
This new feature is currently being developed under T313467

detailed information and to follow the progress of this enhancement. If you
