Adding a new translated page for National Centre on Sexual Exploitation

Hello I would like to add a new translated page for National Centre on Sexual Exploitation, but it says I need to contact administrator before I can add the link.

https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Hibin1/%E6%B2%99%E7%9B%92 Thank you, Hibin1 – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hibin1 (talk • contribs).

 Not done We do not support links to userpages. This text should be first published on the wiki as a new article, then it can be connected to an item. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 12:10, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

splitting Template:Property proposal

Is there a way to duplicate a page, keeping the history in both copies? If this is the case, could an admin please duplicate the following pages per Project chat:

I will take care of wiring up the new template to the new module. --Srittau (talk) 18:10, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

A Steward maybe can export/import the history to make a duplicate. But is that important? -- Innocent bystander (talk) 18:34, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
I am concerned about proper credit of the authors of that template. Thinking about it: Would moving it and the reverting the original version work? --Srittau (talk) 18:53, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
You can preserve proper credit by linking to the page history of the old module/template in the page history of the new module/template e.g. "from <url of diff>". --Izno (talk) 19:34, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Reversal and removal of comments by Srittau

Could someone undo their edits on Wikidata:Property proposal/Authority control‎?
--- Jura 11:32, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

I made a decision and closed the discussion. Jura1 didn't agree and reverted the decision. This is not acceptable. --Srittau (talk) 11:34, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
You added your comment and attempted to assess consensus prematurely. This is highly problematic and was overturned.

master of Maintenance script?

Who is responsible for Maintenance script? It the other day changed Geokod (P1172) to external-id data type. Help:Data type tells external-id is a unique identifier. Is it possible to revert this, since, as far as I know, it is not proven that this is a unique identifier? The indentifiers for post-1952 Swedish municipalities, counties and parishes are not unique, so I strongly doubt this is unique. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 13:17, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

And GeoNames feature code (P2452) is definitely not a unique identifier, far from. Is it possible to block this script? -- Innocent bystander (talk) 13:23, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Please have a look here. These properties were converted due to having been considered "good to convert" in the discussion there. User:Maintenance script is just following the decisions made there. --Srittau (talk) 13:45, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Since when is a script considered a good tool to determine which decisions are taken in a complicated thread? I see several arguments against converting properties like P1172 and P2452 in this talk_page, but they have still been converted by the script! @Addshore: -- Innocent bystander (talk) 14:07, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
"Since when is a script considered a good tool to determine which decisions are taken in a complicated thread?" the script is not making the decisions, it is being run based on the list created by the community.
The script is part of Wikibase and the code can be found at here
The script was not run by me, if the community decides that the change should reverted this should be possible.
·addshore· talk to me! 14:17, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
The script doesn't take any decision, it's the community. There are 3 subpages of User:Addshore/Identifiers (/0, /1, /2). If a property is added to good to convert on any of these subpages and nobody is challenging it, the script i.e. User:Hoo man is changing the datatype. --Pasleim (talk) 14:22, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Is it revertable? P1172 has only a few out of ~4000 statements set yet! Every non-unique identifier has a subset with unique ids. P1172 has only been added to a few out of ~4000 items yet. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 14:53, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

3 accounts vandalizing the same page

Hello,
While looking at the history of the item Spanish Wikipedia (Q8449), there are :

  • on 5 April, the account 200.24.159.26 which vandalizes the item [2]
  • a few minutes later, the account Fredy2015 which makes the same vandalism [3]
  • a few minutes later, the account Carrillo2013 which makes the same vandalism [4].

The second account is blocked, but I suppose that the first and third accounts should be blocked too... --NicoScribe (talk) 09:40, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

They stopped editing after they were warned on their talk page, so no action has to be taken imho. --Pasleim (talk) 11:42, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Something weird happening here. MediaWiki:Autoblock whitelist should contain the WMF space and rfc1918 space to prevent any autoblocks on internal stuff. This page doesn't exist locally. On the Dutch Wikipedia I seem to have deleted it locally because the meta version was better, but the meta version is deleted too. On Commons I do see a local whitelist. Hmm, I wonder if we undelete the page on meta if it affects all wiki's? For now I just created the local whitelist with 10.0.0.0/8 in it and the AOL junk, not sure if we still need the AOL junk. Multichill (talk) 19:29, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Most meta pages like that (title blacklist, etc) are in the mainspace if they have global impacts. That one most likely just impacts meta blocks, though without any documentation I can't be sure. I'm not sure if there is a global autoblock whitelist... Ajraddatz (talk) 23:00, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
It's strange that the autoblocker is blocking the OAuth tool IP, I'm not sure that is intended behavior. --Rschen7754 00:51, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Closing RFC's

Can only administrators close RFC's? Thanks to Pasleim for closing a few recently. However, there are some on the list that are very old and definitely should also be closed - for example Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Organizing_statements,_sitelinks,_and_external_identifiers the last comment was over 6 months ago from the proposer who asked that it be closed as no longer applicable (external id's have now of course been implemented). If a regular user can close them I would be willing to look through the ones that seem to have finished their discussion and do whatever needs to be done. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:41, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Ajraddatz - Thanks, I read through the oldest one; the issue was somewhat complex but I think I got to what it (and linked discussions) concluded - Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Define_lists_on_both_"Wikimedia_lists"_and_"Wikimedia_categories" - can you let me know if I should have done anything differently there?

Hello.What caused hide this?Thank you --ديفيد عادل وهبة خليل 2 (talk) 09:29, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Obviously, there is a list of rules which vandals should not see. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:37, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
Though hiding this is not really critical, I guess. Basically, this filter detects if some garbage is entered. Probably there are not really many vandals who would be willing to analyze the logic of such filters first before making their edits. Those who enter nonsense probably mostly do it spontaneous and only once or twice, without a preparation phase and a sophisticated strategy on how to avoid being detected by edit filters. Those who are such notorious vandals that they would be interested in the abuse filter internals will find a way to add nonsense anyway, as in the end all that matters for them is that it's junk. This is quite different from e.g. spam filters, where knowing the details of the detecting method would be of great value for some of our "guests". --YMS (talk) 11:34, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

user Verdy p

Some other admin can explain to @Verdy p: that he can't continues delete labels on item Register (Q217425)? I tried to explain that isn't correct, I said to talk in Wikidata talk:WikiProject Disambiguation pages before revert again, but he don't want listen and revert again. --ValterVB (talk) 19:36, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

I report you (ValterVB) for having first abused the reverts 5 times !
And you continue to refuse to recognize the conflicts that these unneeded data create (all thse conflicts are known, they come the automatic import of legacy data from Wikipedia, before we started to split the disambiguation sets to match what was actually ambiguous in distinct wikis).
There's asbsolutely nothing incorrect in deleting the superfluous entries about non existing homonyms, espacially when this blocks adding homonyms in other elements. (your revert is not blocked by Wikdiata, but it reinstates the conflicts that are reported in constriaint reports !).
Adding extra name/descriptions in languages that actually don't have any associated wikilinks listed just creates conflicts when we attempt to add them in another element.
"Registre" is clean with only French and Catalan, separated from "Register", and nobody must care about how "Registre" is translated in other languages: for that we NEVER use the disambiguation data, but the Wikidata elements for the actual topics and articles.
Keeping these old data when separation is blocking (if you had looked at the history, you would have seen that I used it bacause of the entry in "Register", and the two sets of disambiguation were conflicting, so that I could not add the actual page to either of the two Wikidata elements: Wikidata did not let me add it). I had to first cleanup and separate the languages that actually use the correct term, and French also distinguishes the term. And only after this cleanup to solve conflicts, I could add the relevant wikimedia links. Your revert actually adds new conflicts that were correctly solved. Verdy p (talk) 19:43, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Note: I've not deleted any wikilink, and not deleted any property. I dropped only the non-relevant (name/description) pairs because Wikidata want them to be unique and because their "name" was actually different and listed in another Wikidata element. The deleted items are only those duplicates going to distinct Wikidata elements, but without any visible distinction (the difference of Qnnn ID is invisible when Wikidata elements are named) !
So look more precisely: these are real duplicates and Wikidata don't want those duplicates or will not let us add relevant elements.
Wikidata elements for Wikimedia disambiguation, MUST NOT be translated to all languages, they are only for languages where homonymies actually exist. Verdy p (talk) 19:53, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
What's wrong with having an item identified with a label and a description even if the sitelink is not there? It's a normal pratice that users add labels to items not linking to a client page in their language. I don't know why disambiguations should be an exception. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 20:19, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
I added a more complete explanation in Wikidata talk:WikiProject Disambiguation pages. I have reverted 5 time because I don't search conflict: we have an item, you have deleted a lot of labels and descriptions, I have reverted, and asked in edit object "Can you explain the problem? Is a disambiguation is the same for all the latin alphabets" you have reverted my edit with "This conflicts everywhere! Homonyms are specific per language under their own orthography" but we haven't evidence of conflict, I explained to your talk and I have reverted. --ValterVB (talk) 20:47, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
Svwiki has by some reasons sometimes more than one disambig based on the same orthography. The best solution in those cases is then to use alternative descriptions, not delete any labels. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 08:01, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
Labels that are creating conflicts with other disambiguating items are to be deleted. There's absolutely no need to maintain labels that are in fact for other existing elements for different kinds of disambiguation on differnet names. Those labels are adding their own unneeded ambiguities and cause nightmares to separate. Especially those labels for disambiguating elements like these. Verdy p (talk) 07:08, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Conflict resolution p2695

Can someone please review the discussions and edits at type locality (geology) (P2695) (also the property proposal discussion) and Rausch 572 (Q19359611). Me and @Pigsonthewing: have very diverging opinions about what the property means. I see that @Succu: had to repeatedly revert Andy's edits although we have a reasonable discussion about the property scope and its scientific meaning at type locality (geology) (P2695). I hope we can resolve this in a civil manner. --Tobias1984 (talk) 17:41, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

No, Succu did not "have to" revert over my edits. Sheesh. Your actions are going against the statements you made at the property proposal (a property which you created after declaring, falsely, that there were no objections). Those statements include "Trying to define the scope of a property like this is usually too difficult and it is easier to see where it goes once we gather some data. Even if it is added to some taxons it would not harm the exisiting [sic] ontologies in that field and splitting them later should be fairly easy.", "I don't think we should constrain the usage too much at the beginning and gather some experience" and "what I think we should do [is] Leave the constraints open and once we have a few hundred statements we can see if a division between earth,". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
The scope of the property is well defined via Wikidata item of this property (P1629)=type locality (Q1973416). --Succu (talk) 18:01, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
That's easily corrected. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:06, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

  •  Options Maybe both could explain what use they plan to make of the property in the short and medium term and what alternatives they could use.
    --- Jura 09:52, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
  • From the perspective of biology this is not very relevant (except perhaps for fossils). Pragmatically speaking, a new item has to be created for each and every individual type specimen/illustration/description (so that Wikidata has very few types). As the property type locality also has "item" as its data type and actual type localities are small spots (that could be indicated by coordinates, if these were available, which they are not) this would mean that a new item would have to be created for every type locality. I don't see this happening, unless at some point it would become possible to import these by bot. - Brya (talk) 11:18, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Still almost impossible to communicate with him. Some similarities with Tamawashi actually. author  TomT0m / talk page 17:11, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

  • I've run into this user before having done some things that didn't make sense to me - however there was a response and reversal of the change after I commented on the talk page. However almost all the edits are in Russian, so probably somebody Russian-speaking should look into the details of what this user is doing. There are a LOT of contributions. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:36, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

Abc82 The user keeps adding disputable claims and using properties disregarding their constraints and reason to be of such properties. Instead of trying to understand how properties work, he insists in adding claims in different ways, so he needs to be frequently reverted. His talk page is full of complaints, but he has not taken a time out to figure what is wrong with his edits. So it is not an isolated problem, but a rather generalised one; therefore, I do not see other solution than a block. Andreasm háblame / just talk to me 07:45, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Update: He kept going, so I blocked him for 3 days. Nevertheless, the problem with his edits seems to be far worse than I thought, but a Russian speaker could be much more helpful to determine this. Andreasm háblame / just talk to me 08:27, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

This dispute needs attention from an Arabic-reading admin. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:57, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
Unfortunately, as far as I can see, there's only one admin on Wikidata with any knowledge of Arabic. That'd be User:Calak, if he can help. Jared Preston (talk) 18:00, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Visibility of diffs on deleted pages

Can any other admins confirm that they too are unable to view old diffs of deleted items? Or is it just me? If I click on "view/restore" of any redlink and get to "View and restore deleted pages", I can no longer see the individual diffs I click on. The page simply doesn't load. Since this was possible up until a few days ago, does anyone know what could be wrong? Jared Preston (talk) 19:37, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Confirmed. Something to do with this? -- Innocent bystander (talk) 19:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
That's true... I didn't think of that. Yep, quite possible! Jared Preston (talk) 19:42, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
svwiki-admins reports it works as usual there! -- Innocent bystander (talk) 19:45, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
It's for all diffs on the Wikidata's item namespace only (at least not in the user namespace), not on Wikipedia nor Meta-Wiki. --Stryn (talk) 19:52, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
Also in P-namnspace! -- Innocent bystander (talk) 19:54, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
@Innocent bystander: it seems to be OK and back in order again. Jared Preston (talk) 20:31, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
RE:Jared Preston. Yes, I noted the line "Fixed a bug where admins got a blank page when trying to view deleted revisions (phabricator:T132645)" in the Wikidata weekly summary #207. -- Innocent bystander (talk) 05:47, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
