Hi Amir,

The idea that I think that you are trying to render reminds of a query I wrote some time ago that uses the number of sitelinks (which basically equates to the number of different language wikipedia articles for a given Wikidata concept) to make an ranked list (providing a rudimentary metric for linguistic "coverage") for a type. 

For example, this one ranks instances of Q571 (a book).
prefix schema: <http://schema.org/>
prefix wd: <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/>
prefix wdt: <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>

SELECT ?s ?desc ?authorlabel (COUNT(DISTINCT ?sitelink) as ?linkcount) WHERE {
  ?s wdt:P31 wd:Q571 .
  ?sitelink schema:about ?s .
  ?s wdt:P50 ?author
  OPTIONAL { 
     ?s rdfs:label ?desc filter (lang(?desc) = "en"). 
   }
  OPTIONAL { 
     ?author rdfs:label ?authorlabel filter (lang(?authorlabel) = "en"). 
   }     
 } GROUP BY ?s ?desc ?authorlabel ORDER BY DESC(?linkcount)

Hope it helps,
Christopher

Hi,

Is there an existing tool that shows whether a Wikipedia article exists or
doesn't exist in a list of languages sorted by the number of speakers?

For example, I'd give this tool an article name, and it would show me a
list similar to the one at the English Wikipedia article [[List of
languages by total number of speakers]], and indicating whether the article
exists or not in each language.

If there is no such tool, I guess I could write something in SPARQL, but
I'd have to learn SPARQL first, so I'm trying to ask here :)

Thanks!

Excellent! I am extremely happy to see it. I do not know how much I will be
able to help, but I will try to help as per my time and abilities.

Hi Amir,

I don't think such a tool exists now. I believe a SPARQL can do it.You can
view some sparql examples and maybe personalize some of them here (
https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/queries/examples)
or you can go here (https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Request_a_query),
explain what you want to do, and an amazing person will write it for you!

Best,
Reem

Hoi,
If memory serves me well, there is a tool that intends to propose articles
to write. Ask Leila Zia if it usable for any language.

Ps the notion that a Wikipedia article has to exist is stale. It has to be
relevant in the context of the language / culture not necessarily what
other languages deem relevant
Thanks,
      GerardM
