Hey,
It's Wikidata's third birthday, right? So I prepared three gifts for you:
1- AI-based anti-vandalism classifier is ready after four months of work
thanks to Aaron Halfaker. It's so big that I can't write it here. This is
link to the announcement.
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Third_Birthday/Presents/ORES>
2- Remember Kian? Using bot I already added 100K statements when the Kian
had high certainty but there are far more to add but they need human
review. Thanks to Magnus Manske now we have a game that suggests statements
based on Kian <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-game/distributed/#game=15>
and you can simply add them. what I did was populating a database with
suggestions and building an API around that There are 2.6 million
suggestions in 17 languages based on 53 models. I can easily add more
languages and models. Just name them :)
3- Still there lots of old interwiki links (in case you don't remember,
things like [[en:Foo]], ewww) in small wikis specially in template
namespace and there is a flow of them adding in medium-sized wikis. Also in
future we need to clean them from Wiktionary \o/. Now we have a script in
pywikibot named interwikidata.py
<https://github.com/wikimedia/pywikibot-core/blob/master/scripts/interwikidata.py>
merged ten hours ago thanks to jayvdb and xzise. It cleans pages, add links
to wikidata and create items for pages in your wiki. i.e. It's interwiki.py
but for wikis that use Wikidata
Just run:
python pwb.py scripts/interwikidata.py -unconnectedpages -clean -create
Or if you are a little bit advanced in pywikibot. Write a script based on
this and handle interwiki conflicts (more help in source code)
Happy birthday!
Best
