Other Noteworthy Stuff
- WMDE built two tools to help editors get a better understanding of the quality of Wikidata's data in a specific area of interest. Try them out and let us know what you think. - Item Quality Evaluator https://item-quality-evaluator.toolforge.org - Constraint Violation Checker https://github.com/wmde/wikidata-constraints-violation-checker - Collaborative translation of *Cita* is now available https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Cita on translatewiki.net. *Cita* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Zotero/Cita is a Wikidata addon that adds citations metadata support to *Zotero*, using cites work (P2860) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2860 information from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data. *Cita* is currently under development with a WikiCite grant from the Wikimedia Foundation, and presentation workshops will be held on May 27th (Spanish) and May 31st (English). More info and pre-registration here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Zotero/Cita#Presentation_workshop . - RaiseWikibase https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/RaiseWikibase is a tool for speeding up multilingual knowledge graph construction with Wikibase. Among other features, it can be utilized to create a mini Wikibase instance with Wikidata properties in a few minutes. - SPARQL-Blockly https://langsamu.github.io/sparql-blockly is a tool to visualise and construct SPARQL queries as visual blocks (Wikidata example https://langsamu.github.io/sparql-blockly/#%23%20See%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wikidata.org%2Fwiki%2FWikidata%3ASPARQL_query_service%2Fqueries%2Fexamples%23Number_of_handed_out_academy_awards_per_award_type%0D%0A%0D%0ABASE%20%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.wikidata.org%2F%3E%0D%0APREFIX%20p%3A%20%3Cprop%2F%3E%0D%0APREFIX%20pq%3A%20%3Cprop%2Fqualifier%2F%3E%0D%0APREFIX%20ps%3A%20%3Cprop%2Fstatement%2F%3E%0D%0APREFIX%20wdt%3A%20%3Cprop%2Fdirect%2F%3E%0D%0APREFIX%20wd%3A%20%3Centity%2F%3E%0D%0APREFIX%20bd%3A%20%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.bigdata.com%2Frdf%23%3E%0D%0APREFIX%20wikibase%3A%20%3Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwikiba.se%2Fontology%23%3E%0D%0A%0D%0ASELECT%20%3FawardCount%20%3Faward%20%3FawardLabel%0D%0AWHERE%20%7B%0D%0A%09%7B%0D%0A%09%09SELECT%20(COUNT(%3Faward)%20AS%20%3FawardCount)%20%3Faward%0D%0A%09%09WHERE%20%7B%0D%0A%09%09%09%7B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09SELECT%20(SAMPLE(%3Fhuman)%20AS%20%3Fhuman)%20%3Faward%20%3FawardWork%20(SAMPLE(%3Fdirector)%20AS%20%3Fdirector)%20(SAMPLE(%3FawardEdition)%20AS%20%3FawardEdition)%20(SAMPLE(%3Ftime)%20AS%20%3Ftime)%0D%0A%09%09%09%09WHERE%20%7B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%3Faward%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ19020%20.%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%7B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%3Fhuman%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09p%3AP166%20%3FawardStat%20%3B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ5%20.%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%3FawardStat%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09ps%3AP166%20%3Faward%20%3B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09pq%3AP805%20%3FawardEdition%20%3B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09pq%3AP1686%20%3FawardWork%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%7D%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09UNION%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%7B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%3FawardWork%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ11424%20%3B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09p%3AP166%20%3FawardStat%20.%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%3FawardStat%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09ps%3AP166%20%3Faward%20%3B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%09pq%3AP805%20%3FawardEdition%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%7D%20.%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09OPTIONAL%20%7B%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%3FawardEdition%20wdt%3AP585%20%3Ftime%20.%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%09%3FawardWork%20wdt%3AP57%20%3Fdirector%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%09%7D%0D%0A%09%09%09%09%7D%0D%0A%09%09%09%09GROUP%20BY%20%3FawardWork%20%3Faward%0D%0A%09%09%09%7D%0D%0A%09%09%7D%0D%0A%09%09GROUP%20BY%20%3Faward%0D%0A%09%09ORDER%20BY%20%3FawardCount%0D%0A%09%7D%20.%0D%0A%09SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%0D%0A%09%09bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20'%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen'%0D%0A%09%7D%0D%0A%7D ) - Wikibase/FAQ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/FAQ is a living document of a list of frequently asked questions about Wikibase.

Development
- wbeditentity now supports editing statements on Senses (phab:T199896 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199896) - We added syntax highlighting for viewing Entity Schema pages. There is not syntax highlighting for editing of Entity Schemas yet. (phab:T238831 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T238831) - Improved the way Lua deals with redirects (phab:T238831 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T238831) - Worked on making it possible to add a title to the top of a query visualization via a comment in the SPARQL code (phab:T225883 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T225883) - Discussed how to get persistent storage of constraint violations unstuck as this is a prerequisite to making it easier to analyze and query constraint violations (phab:T214362 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T214362) - Discussed a high-level plan for how to move forward with checking Wikidata's data against 3rd-party databases - Finished work on version 1 of the Query Builder. Not it is awaiting security review before we can deploy it.
