Hoi, There are two ways of enabling this Wikidata search functionality; Wiki wide and personally. It is done by adding this one line to common.js..

importScriptURI("//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Wdsearch.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript");

You add it either to mediawiki:common.js or to USER/common.js. Thanks, GerardM

Hi gerard, that sounds really exciting! Is it necessary to change a setting to see this behaviour? If not i d appreciate if you could give an example where one could see this best.

Hoi,

The Italian Wikipedia is the first project where people who use search will find results added from Wikidata. As you may know, Wikidata knows

has

...

more items with a label in a language than a Wikipedia has articles. With the Wikidata based functionality people will gain several functionalities that are new to them

• a link to Commons categories for a subject
• a link to Wikipedia articles in other languages
• a link to the Wikidata item
• visualisation care of the "Reasonator"

When there are multiple items found in the search request, disambiguation will be provided based on the statements available on the items.

Obviously

...

as more labels are available in a language for statements, the experience will improve.

This is a really exciting new development and I want to thank Magnus and Nemo for making it possible. I hope and expect that many Wikipedias will follow the example of the Italian Wikipedia. Particularly the smaller Wikipedias have much to gain from this new functionality. Thanks, GerardM

I like it! Can we use the Wikidata color schema, according to the new, improved trademark policy (R) (TM)?

Cheers, Magnus

Hi all,

I want to propose a logo for reasonator (to substitute the "R" now in use); https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Reasonator_logo_proposal.png

also, I think that in the mouseover text a more verbose description like: "Show the properties of this item" would be helpful.

Ciao,

Cristian

OK, now live with the logo! :-)

((... usual big IANAL disclaimer here ...))

I think so. On Wikimedia sites "You may use and remix the Wikimedia marks on the Wikimedia sites as you please."[1], see also this FAQ[2] which mentions tools.

Please don't load the script on every page. It only targets the search result page. This means a redundant request on every page that isn't the search page. You can change it to:

if ( mw.config.get( 'wgCanonicalSpecialPageName' ) === 'Search' ) { importScriptURI("// en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Wdsearch.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript "); }

Thanks! Ori

Again, I didn't do anything, it's all Magnus' merit. :) And on it.wiki, Jalo's and Rotpunkt's.

Would it be worth moving the Reasonator results up to the top right, in a box? There's a lot of white space on the search page, because the result snippets are less than 500px wide...

As those with good memory may remember, that place used to be occupied by Lucene's interwiki search results. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44420 So, while usage of that space is not unprecedented, I'm not sure this tool is consistent with that expectation (full? text search), which is supposed to be coming back via CirrusSearch. Moving away from that space would be possible any time if CirrusSearch claims it (I hope it will!), but the results e.g. in your Richard II search are quite long and some care would be needed or they'd get quite an untidy visual distraction. If someone comes up with a good design mockup, that would probably help Magnus speedy-code it as his habit. ;-)

Yay for more cross-project integration. <3 itwp for giving this a try. Thanks to Magnus, Gerard and anyone else involved. I'd love to hear feedback and suggestions for improvements from itwp.

I have enabled it yesterday for pl.wiki too :) It looks really great.
