Dear all, I am happy to announce that we have just deployed a new version of the SQID Wikidata browser at https://tools.wmflabs.org/sqid/ The main news are the first working editing features. Users that log in will be given options to modify the data directly. (Regular users may have to hard reload the page to see the new version; it should have a "login" option on the top right.) == Features == * Users can login with their Wikimedia accounts * Statement suggestions from Primary Sources are offered to logged in users, who can approve or reject them * Approving/rejecting statements takes immediate effect, without a slow page reload * Statement suggestions are shown in the same "smart" order used for all data on SQID. For example, statements with start time will be ordered by time so you can compare suggested data to existing data more easily. * There is a minimal "edit label" functionality for logged in users too We hope this can help to speed up the work of editors who want to get more PS data merged into Wikidata (e.g., for Freebase import). == Known issues == * Some statements cannot be rejected in Primary Sources. This problem affects both SQID and the Wikidata gadget in the same way. It seems to be a bug in the PS web service, which we hope will be fixed at some point. * There is no error reporting yet -- if PS fails, the user can see that a requested action does not happen but errors are logged on the Javascript console only. * If many references for the same statement are suggested, they will show as many statements with one reference each instead. The editing functionality is there, but the UI needs to be improved. * Label editing is pretty minimal, e.g., you cannot edit descriptions yet. * If a suggestion (reference or additional statement value) is in a collapsed panel in the UI, there is no indication of it. Please report issues and requests through github: https://github.com/Wikidata/SQID/issues == Next steps == * Address the open issues above (those that can be fixed in SQID) * Add further editing controls (e.g., direct statement deletion) * Add further suggestion sources == Acks == This implementation was mainly done by Michael Günther. Many thanks are also due to Magnus, whose Widar service for editing Wikidata is used to make the actual changes in the back (so edits will get a Widar tag in Wikidata's history). As usual, feedback is welcome.
