Dear Wikidata Community,
We are happy to announce today *a new status indicator icon about the relative completeness of pages*, available via our Recoin https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ls1g/Recoin user script. The user script adds a color-coded progress bar icon to the status bar, which expresses how extensive the information on the page is in comparison with pages about similar entities. Currently, the script works for all humans that have an occupation, by comparing the typical properties of entities having that occupation.
It can be enabled by adding the following line to your *common.js*:
*importScript( 'User:Ls1g/recoin-core.js' );*
Further information on how the values are computed is on the tool's page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ls1g/Recoin.
We are looking forward to your opinions and feedback, especially how useful you find such an indicator in general, and regarding the accuracy of the computed values. Best wishes Simon Razniewski
Hello,
congrats on the release!
One idea: perhaps some weighting scheme can be added to compute the (in-)completeness measure. So, suppose that Obama is missing the property "child" which occurs in 70% of the similar entities, whereas Trump is missing the property "affiliation" which occurs only in 1% of the similar entities, then I would say that Obama should get 'more punishment' wrt. his (in-)completeness measure, as he is missing an important property (since it occurs so often).
Regards, Fariz

Hi,
Very useful! I think such indicator (and especially the explanations) can really help novice editors, who often have problems identifying the claims that can be added to an item.
It would be very interesting to see the status of the interlinking to external sources through Recoin. I guess that the claims related to the interlinking (e.g. authority control properties https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties/Generic#Authority_control) will already appear in the explanations of Recoin, but it might be useful to show the status of the completeness of the interlinking separately. Maybe as a separate analogous indicator, or in the same indicator but with separate explanations.
Is the source code of Recoin available?

Why don't you turn it into a gadget before promoting it? That would lower the barrier a lot for people just wanting to try out your new cool tool. Maybe creating a gadget seems to be too complicated or cumbersome? An overview of the current gadgets are at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets
I was about to create a gadget out of it when I noticed the line https://tadaqua.inf.unibz.it/api/getmissingattributes.php in https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ls1g/recoin-core.js . I'm pretty sure grabbing data from a third party domain is a violation of the WMF privacy policy, because the owner of the domain tadaqua.inf.unibz.it is able to track users who enable this script. Not sure. Someone WMF legal could probably confirm this. Probably best to move it to http://tools.wmflabs.org/ .

Hi Maarten,
Thanks for your comments! We would be glad to have this as gadget, do you know what is the process to get there? I can't find infos about that at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Gadgets. Yes, the external API call would need to be removed then, migrating to tools.wmflabs.org sounds like a good idea. I would need to check for time/resources though, or maybe there is a chance to define this as some kind of Wikimedia-sponsored summer (?) project? The current code is not that complex, but to extend the scope of the indicator to other categories of items, and various other suggestions, might entail more to do.
Cheers, Simon
Maarten
