Hey folks :)
Just an update on badges support on Wikidata. We will be rolling out support for badges on Wikidata on August 19th. At this point you will be able to store the information that a given article is a good or featured article on English Wikipedia for example. More badges can be added on request. One week later we will enable showing those badges on Wikipedia/Wikisource/Wikiquote in the language links in the sidebar. If your Wikipedia wants them to be removed from the wikitext please get in touch with Amir. He has a bot to do it for you.
You can try out the Wikidata-side of it on our test system: https://test.wikidata.org/wiki/Q296
Cheers Lydia
Awesome 2!
Yet less bots and templates!
Also, the Amir in question is probably not me, but the other, cooler one :) בתאריך 15 באוג 2014 21:05, "Lydia Pintscher" lydia.pintscher@wikimedia.de כתב:

Hi Lydia,
Maybe useful to add: badges are represented by Wikidata items in the exports. The badge items are defined locally on the wikibase site that provides the site links. This is different from time and globe coordinate values, which also use items to denote globes (planets) and calendar models -- but in their case we use full URIs such as "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2" (Earth) instead of local ids like "Q2". Indeed, such values should use the same Wikidata URIs on any Wikibase installation (for example, if commons would use Wikibase, it would also denote Earth coordinates of images using "http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q2" and not create an own local item for that). In contrast, badges like "Good article" are represented like "Q608" (on test.wikidata.org; on wikidata.org it denotes an entirely different process). So badges are not global identifiers but local ids on the current wiki. No problem with this, but might need to be kept in mind when interacting with this data.
Btw. is there any way for consumers (or API users) to find out which items are legal as badges?
Cheers,
Markus

Hi Lydia,
The Wikisources do use featured article, though we don't use good articles. We do, however, have other works that would fit within the badging space. Can you please indicate what sort of information a wiki would need to provide, eg. name, restrictions, image to be displayed, etc.
Thanks to all of the people who have made this work.
Thanks. Regards, Billinghurst

So there are two things to this: The first one is how the badge is represented on Wikidata itself. It'll be an item. It'll have labels in different languages. It'll have an icon. The second one is how they are displayed on the Wikipedia/Wikisource/... You can display only a subset of the badges on Wikidata and you can use a different icon.
From the Wikidata side we need:
* item that represents the badge with labels in a few languages * icon that fits with the other icons we have * some kind of consensus that we want this badge
For the consensus part we don't really have the process yet. I suggest we create a page on Wikidata where we can collect requests and then we'll add those badges if there is consensus. (If someone has a better idea let me know.)
Thanks to all of the people who have made this work.

So, a Featured Article/List badge will have an item on its own? May I ask you why you decided that way? (I'm sure it was the right thing to do, just curious)

Because that'll give us easy access to the labels in all languages for example. And we can link articles describing them on each of the projects if wanted.
Cheers Lydia
Can I ask a stupid question then, the the point of view of a wiki data n00b? Does this mean there will be a single, root 'badge' type, a bunch of subtypes for different kinds of badge, with the wikidata item being associated with an instance of one of these subtypes?

Hello Lydia,

Same on the Italian Wikipedia. I did it on Aug 16th, then I didn't noticed it here. It is a discussion that sums up the main changes that will affect Wikipedia and the other projects: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bar/Discussioni/Nuove_funzioni_in_ar...
On a half-related note, ValterVB has already uploaded all the 300+ badges for it.wp featured articles on Wikidata.
