Thank you for contributing to Wikidata. I see that you recently created an item Q132688247 that does not clearly indicate its notability. The Wikidata project only accepts items that meet its notability criteria, and your item is therefore likely to be deleted soon. In brief, items must have an associated Wikipedia article, must be needed for statements on another notable item, or must have both identifiers and serious sources. For the last case, a good indication of notability would be multiple articles about the subject in independent publications like newspapers or magazines. You can add such sources as references to specific claims using reference URL (P854), or as top-level claims using described at URL (P973).

Also, this may not apply in this specific case, but you should know that we discourage editors from self-promotion, contributing on topics with which they have a strong personal connection, as this may present a conflict of interest. If you are being paid to edit here, then you are obliged to disclose this. For a longer version, you might find it useful to read the essay "How to create an item on Wikidata so that it won't get deleted".  Madamebiblio (talk) 17:19, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Will add some refs. I'm not paid to edit. Don't know why you suggest this or think this may be the case! Prototyperspective (talk) 17:21, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

film segment available on Wikimedia Commons (Q133146373)

Hi. When adding this qualifier to videos could you do me a favor and add said videos to Category:Film clips as well? Trade (talk) 16:09, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for asking, there already is c:Category:Videos of film segments where all of these are included. Maybe these two categories should be merged? For now, I've added that category to the category you linked. Prototyperspective (talk) 18:15, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Type of map

Hi, which " subclass of" is possible, because it's needed for all other type of map-entities, like you see in the model item

Thanks Ms040got (talk) 14:33, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Good question. Maybe publication format (Q58901077) and/or some item about 'Navigation helper' or 'Orientation tool' if something like that exists. Maybe also helpful: Category:Works by type (Q10003287) and Category:Maps. By the way there also are three-dimensional maps. Prototyperspective (talk) 14:39, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Sure I know but what is the problem with two dimensional, or is subclass of not allowed? Ms040got (talk) 14:45, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

You are right. So it's about 2D you are right. I will find some. Thanks Ms040got (talk) 14:46, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Revert on Ward Cunningham (Q7637)

hi, sorry to bother! as you reverted my edit as "no improvement", I should explain my rationale, the Wikidata entry should ideally be concise and direct, similar to Wikipedia's short descriptions. creating the first wiki is something that he did, not what he is, therefore it can be left out for longer descriptions. my edit in particular was prompted as other projects use the description field for people. Wiktionary has Template:person to fetch it and display it in entries.

if you see anything wrong with this, feel free to comment. Juwan (talk) 22:41, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

I still think that the prior description was more useful and descriptive than the one after your edit. It's still short and concise. I'd see your point if it wasn't. Prototyperspective (talk) 22:43, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Feedback requested: Community Wishlist W425 (Watchlist Language Filter)

Hello Prototyperspective,

I am working on a Wikimedia project to address your proposal in the Community Wishlist: A way to filter out edits to languages one doesn't speak.

I have developed a user script called the "Language Filter" that addresses the filtering portion of your wish. It works on the Watchlist and Diff comparison pages.

Key Features

• Universal Language Bar: An autocomplete search bar (using OOUI) that supports all 300+ Wikidata languages.
• Category Isolation: Checkboxes to specifically show or hide Claims (Data), Sitelinks, and System Edits.
• Diff Filtering: Just like the image in your proposal, it hides rows in the multi-edit diff table that belong to languages you haven't selected.

How to test it

If you have a moment, I would value your feedback on whether this meets your needs. You can test it by adding the following line to your common.js:

const pageName = mw.config.get('wgCanonicalSpecialPageName');
const isDiff = !!(mw.config.get('wgDiffOldid') || location.search.includes('diff='));

if (pageName === 'Watchlist' || isDiff) {
    mw.loader.load('/w/index.php?title=User:Rohansingh1010/watchlist-filter.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
}

After saving, go to your Watchlist or any Diff page, and you should see the filter bar appear above the list.

I am planning to work on the "Integrated Machine Translation" part next, but I wanted to ensure the filtering logic is perfect first. Please let me know if you encounter any "leaks" or if there are features you’d like to see added.

Thank you for the proposal! Rohansingh1010 (talk) 12:37, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi Prototyperspective, Matěj_Suchánek, Nardog, JAn_Dudík, 臺灣象象. Can you please look at the user script i provided for the Community Wishlist W425 (Watchlist Language Filter) and provide your valuable feedback.

Thank you. Rohansingh1010 (talk) 18:27, 6 April 2026 (UTC)

Sorry again for not replying for so long. Sent you a mail. I've tested it and it works great and I find it useful – feedback:

For better understanding this is how the UI looks on my end (relevant esp. for #1, #6 and #7)

1. it did hide Nextcloud (Q25874683) because the latest edit was in one a language that's filtered out – it shouldn't hide items where there are earlier edit(s) to things that one has not filtered away...this is a general problem with Watchlist filters and I thought this could be the main difficulty here...items where there are only changes to filtered-away things should be hidden but not those where just the latest edit happens to be one of these (note: I have 'Latest revision' in the normal Watchlist filters and this is the default setting and I find the Watchlist is unusable without it) – in this case I would like to see the unseen addition of the bluesky account link to the item by Reclus in a diff
2. currently the languages to not hide can't be found via their shortcut – for example one has to search for "default" instead of finding that by entering "mul"
3. currently, when clicking on the Show Everything button, it removes all the languages configured in the tool instead of just temporarily not applying the configured filters – easily temporarily being able to see the unfiltered results is important (not just for better understanding, configuring and testing the gadget)
4. does it also filter away additions and removals of sitelinks in languages other than the ones configured when having "Show Sitelinks (Wikipedia)" checked but some languages to filter for configured? If not, could you please change it so that these are also filtered away?
5. what are system edits regarding the "Show System Edits" checkbox? I think needs to be clearer.
6. would it be possible to hide edits like those by Github-wiki-bot? Maybe there could be an additional line for users whose edits to filter away where one could enter specific bots. I thought such edits and/or edits made via QuickStatements may be 'system edits'.
7. I find the gadget most useful in combination with a button to open a diff of all unseen changes with a click – the gadget then removes all the filtered changes in that diff so the diff is not long and cluttered with things that don't need checking or which I can't check well. Currently, these are two different scripts and users without that unknown script don't have that button which is how this gadget is most useful. If you have to go to the history page anyway, you're already seeing the edit summaries and things like that there so the tool is most useful with opening the diffs of all unseen changes. I go through my Watchlist by clicking on that 'since last seen button' for items in the Watchlist I want to check and it's very efficient compared to checking each and every edit individually or going to the his page and selecting things there first. Please let me know if you have any questions. For this, you could either bundle the gadget with or integrate the code of the script that adds this button, aWorkingWatchlist.js. Adding this to the gadget would make it much more useful in really capitalize on its current strength of decluttering diffs of many edits.
8. could you please create a documentation page about the tool and maybe make it not necessary to include all that other javascript other than the mw.loader.load… line?

Prototyperspective (talk) 16:53, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the inputs. I will work on it soon whenever i get it time. Will let you know once done. Rohansingh1010 (talk) 16:55, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

@Rohansingh1010: This should have been posted to m:Talk:Community Wishlist/W425, so that wishlist maintainers and other involved parties are aware of any progress on the wish. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 17:13, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

#255700

Hey could i convince you to revert this batch? Toolforge isn't cooperating and i need to go to sleep now Trade (talk) 03:45, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

If I understood correctly that batch is for "Moving from satirical film or television program (Q3745430) to satirical film (Q138603203)" and I didn't make this batch. I don't have any special permissions or experience with reverting batches either so I can't help you. You could ask somewhere else like maybe WikiProject Movies or whatever is a place to request such reverts. Prototyperspective (talk) 10:34, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
