Hi everyone :)
Last year Lucie started working on the ArticlePlaceholder (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ArticlePlaceholder) in order
to
fullfill Wikidata's promise of supporting
especially the smaller
Wikipedias. Today we have rolled it out on the first 4 Wikipedias:
Esperanto, Haitian Creole, Neapolitan and Odia. When someone searches
for a
topic where no local article exists but Wikidata
has data we will show
an
ArticlePlaceholder with this information and
encourage the reader to
create
an article. I hope this will help these
Wikipedias by offering their
readers more content and by turning more of them into active editors.
In order for the feature to work well we need labels for items and
properties in these languages on Wikidata. A lot exist already but if
you
want to help out you can find items and
properties that need labels in
these languages at
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-terminator and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ListProperties.
What we rolled out today as usual is a first version. Based on the
feedback
from those 4 Wikipedias we will expand and
improve it. One of the next
things we will do is add the option to translate an article from another
language if it exists using the Content Translation tool and fix known
bugs. Things we know are still broken or need work:
* language fallbacks in the properties are not working so you will see a
lot of P1234 and so on until a label is added on Wikidata in that
language
* long identifiers break out of the identifier
box on the right side and
don't look good
* right now you only get an ArticlePlaceholder in the search results
when
Wikidata has at least 3 links to other Wikimedia
projects and 3
statements.
We might need to tweak this number still based on
feedback from the
first
Wikipedias. We limit this in order to not
encourage readers to create an
article that will be deleted right after they created it because it
isn't
notable.
Here are some example pages:
* Odia:
https://or.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%AC%AC%E0%AC%BF%E0%AC%B6%E0%AD%87%E0%AC%B7…
* Napolitan:
https://nap.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A0le:AboutTopic?entityid=Q2613697
* Esperanto:
https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciala%C4%B5o:AboutTopic?entityid=Q12345
* Haitian Creole:
https://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espesyal:AboutTopic?entityid=Q12345
I'm really excited about making true on one of Wikidata's biggest
promises.
Cheers
Lydia
