Wikidata weekly summary #297[edit]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Constraint violations can now be checked on qualifiers and references (phab:T168532)
    • Implemented usage tracking deduplication to reduce database load (phab:T178079). This should not have any effect on what users see on recent changes and watchlists.
    • Redirects on client wikis that are connected to a Wikidata item can have a tracking category, if set up (phab:T185743). Thanks, Matěj!
    • Improved documentation of the pageterms query module (gerrit:406240). Thanks, Niedzielski!
    • Improved empty "content was:" in deletion logs for entities (phab:T184025)
    • Fixed links to external user pages in recent changes (phab:T183019)
    • Fixed user names beginning with a star sometimes being rendered as a list (phab:T182800)
    • Fixed constraint check results possibly showing up in the wrong language (phab:T185688)
    • Fixed ArticlePlaceholders possibly not showing up in search results (gerrit:406168)
    • Some of the developers attended to the Wikimedia Developer Summit 2018. You can find some notes on the Phabricator board

Entreprise-relaterte ord: manglende R-er[edit]

Hei, jeg så i historikken at du fulgte opp Kjetils retting av "entrepenør" til "entreprenør", ved å supplere på flere språk. Fint, men jeg tror det gikk litt fort da du la til samisk term: entrepenevra, skrev du. Men uten at jeg kan samisk, så er jeg temmelig sikker på at også der må det være en R til. Ordet kommer fra fransk entreprise, og dermed er man pukka nødt til å dra med seg begge R-ene videre til alle språk som henter inn det franske låneordet og avledede begreper. Jeg kan visst ikke rette dette selv inne på Wikidata, så om du kunne gå tilbake og rette den samiske termen?

Samtidig oppdaget jeg at også nynorsk Wikipedia har en "entrepenør" i stedet for en "entreprenør" i en infoboks. Jeg fant den på artikkelen om Bjørgum bru. Igjen: det ser ikke ut til at jeg er utstyrt med "kulehode og rettetast" inne på Wikidata, så dermed lurer jeg på om du kunne finne og rette også den stavefeilen? Mvh Annelingua (talk) 22:07, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, godt du følger med, Annelingua! Har fiksa nordsamisk nå. Hvis du kommer over noe lignende en annen gang på språk som ikke vises som standard for deg så kan du trykke på lenka/knappen «Alle språk med data» til venstre under feltet med etiketter og beskrivelser, så vises alle språk. Har forresten fiksa infoboksen på nynorsk også (der var det ikke fra Wikidata). Jon Harald Søby (talk) 09:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Så fint! (Og jeg oppdaget jo ikke svaret ditt før leeenge etter at du skrev det - sorry! Takk for svar!) :) Annelingua (talk) 21:00, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata weekly summary #299[edit]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here.

Etternavn[edit]

God ettermiddag! Siden etternavn er slik i vinden akkurat nå. Gidder du å lage meg en spørring som viser personer med og uten family name (P734) for Norge?  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pmt (talk • contribs).

@Pmt: Her:
SELECT ?item ?itemLabel ?etternavn WHERE {
  ?item wdt:P27 wd:Q20 .
  ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q5 .
  OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P734 ?etternavn } .
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en". }
  FILTER (!BOUND(?etternavn))
}
Try it!
Denne er for folk uten etternavn – for folk med etternavn så fjerner du bare utropstegnet foran «BOUND» i nest siste linje! Jon Harald Søby (talk) 16:24, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tusen takk!  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pmt (talk • contribs) at 16. februar 2018 kl. 17:31 (UTC).

Wikidata weekly summary #300[edit]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Welcome to the 300th Weekly Summary!

The weekly newsletter was started by Lydia at the very beginning of the Wikidata project, even before the first deployment, to keep the community informed about the developments, the new projects and tools. More than five years later, the newsletter is still there, its content powered by the community, and sent every week all along the years. I wanted to say a warm "thank you!" to each person who helped filling the Weekly Summary <3

Over the past years, as you know, Wikidata has grown a lot. More data, more tools, more editors and reusers, more exciting projects led by the community. The Weekly Summary has evolved with us, and the 300th edition seems a good moment to ask you all your suggestions about the newsletter, how it could continue evolving, and how you would like to improve it.

On that purpose, you can find a feedback page to express all your ideas about the Weekly Summary. We're very interested to know more about your reading habits, the parts you're more or less interested in, the new topics you would like to share with the community. Thanks in advance for filling it.

I stay available anytime to discuss with you, feel free to contact me if you have any question or concern! Cheers, Léa

  • A selection of cool tools on Wikidata

Here are a few tools that are recommended by some Wikidata community members. External websites, gadgets or scripts, they are very useful for Wikidata editors or users!

    • The Wikidata Query Service is an infinite source of amazing data and one of the best ways to explore and use Wikidata. (TweetsFactsAndQueries)
    • QuickStatements is a powerful tool that can edit or add Wikidata item en masse, via a text editor or importing a spreadsheet. (Éder Porto via Facebook)
    • Mix'n'match (manual), which helps us to interlink Wikidata with the rest of the web and the world :-) (Spinster, Siobhan via Twitter)
    • WikiShootMe! allows you to see Wikidata items plotted out on a map and shows you whether they have images or not. (Ham II)
    • Yair Rand's WikidataInfo script adds the QID of the equivalent Wikidata item to the page being viewed (on sister projects), along with its Wikidata label and description. (Andy Mabbett)
    • Recoin measures the degree of completeness of relevant properties of a Wikidata item and suggests any relevant statements that can be added to the item. (Rachmat04)
    • Template:Wikidata list ("Listeria") Self-updating lists on wiki pages, to drive projects and show results. Over 14,000 now live. (Jheald)

    • checkConstraints gadget adds notifications on the interface to easily notice the violation of constraints and help people fixing them (Léa)

Weird surnames[edit]

What happened here? Mahir256 (talk) 17:04, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mahir256: Huh, that's really weird. The script I'm using for all surnames I work on has worked flawlessly so far. Those two have some weird mojibake going on. It also created the same name without mojibake twice as Skiødt (Q50348088) and Skiødt (Q50348089). Really weird. Thanks for noticing, I'll clean it up and hope it doesn't happen again. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 17:23, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Another weird occurrence. Mahir256 (talk) 02:39, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Mahir256: Thanks for the notification! I still have no idea why it's doing that – when I created that item I was on a train, so maybe something happened with a bad connection leading to incomplete data or something? This time too the correct item Wisén-Jobs (Q50795946) was also created just after this one. I'll make sure to check my contributions with regular intervals to try to catch these. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 10:21, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata weekly summary #303[edit]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Significantly (on average to 1/4th) reduced the number of changes from Wikidata showing up on the watchlists and recent changes on Wikipedias and the other sister projects. This way changes that do not affect an article should no longer show up. We're still holding off roll-out to Commons, Cebuano, Waray-Waray and Armenian Wikipedia because of scalability concerns.
    • Working on optimizing one of the largest database tables (wb_terms) (phab:T188279)
    • Fixing a bug on how Wikidata changes are shown on Wikipedia (phab:T189320)
    • Continued addressing security review issues for Wikibase-Lexeme extension (phab:T186726)

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.


Final note from Léa: thanks to people who participated to the feedback page! Today's Weekly Summary is already improved thanks to your suggestions. Feel free to add more comments, and feel free to edit the newsletter yourself: all small contributions are welcome :)
