Wikibase ontology not found[edit]

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T348395

Hi, I'm trying to find the Wikibase RDF ontology resources from the URLs: http://wikiba.se/ontology-1.0.owl and http://wikiba.se/ontology (as mentioned here), but both links show a "502 Bad Gateway" nginx error page. Did I misunderstand or is there anywhere else I can find the resource? Thank you! Malajvan (talk) 15:42, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Malajvan: Until the website comes back, you can get the latest version from the Internet Archive. (There’s also a slightly older snapshot of ontology-1.0.owl; IIRC, the two are supposed to be identical, and the difference is just due to one snapshot being older.) --Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE) (talk) 16:57, 21 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Die App benutzt veraltete Daten (App uses outdated data)[edit]

Tracked in Phabricator
Task T269003

Das führt beim Drachenlord (Q109392951) dazu, das in der App eine beleidigende Beschreibung angezeigt wird, auch bei mir, wenn ich angemeldet bin. Dieser Vandalismus wurde längst in WD beseitigt, er ist aber noch immer in der App (und nur da) aktiv. Die letzte Änderung von Samstag früh wurde nicht übernommen, wohl aber der Vandalismus von Mitternacht. Wie funktioniert die Datenwiedergabe aus WD in der App? Warum ist das bei den Browseransichten anders? Sowohl .m. als auch klassisch haben diesen bösen Fehler nicht.

Translation: With the item Drachenlord (Q109392951) this leads to perpetuation of a vandalism in the description of the article in the app, the app still shows the version of ~midnight 25th. In WD this has been reverted just 8h after the vandalism, in the browser view, both mobile and classical, they are fine, but the app still uses the personal attack description. How are the macanisms of the usage of the description from here in the app? Why is it different in the browser?

This is not new, there are several phab tickets for similar issues. See phab:T269003 for instance.

As an emergency measure, you can try to nulledit the Wikipedia page, and if that does not help, make an edit to the item page. ---MisterSynergy (talk) 13:39, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That one is closed, but it looks like nothing has changed at all. Why can a not-solved Phab be closed?

It is very urgent, as vandals can (and do) exploit this for vandalism including personal attacks. Grüße vom Sänger ♫ ^(talk) 13:44, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Q19979986[edit]

Please remove "pl:Mistrzostwa Świata w Hokeju na Lodzie 2021" from Q19979986 and add "pl:Mistrzostwa Świata w Hokeju na Lodzie 2021 (elita)" there. I can't do it, it's messed up. Thanks, Maiō T. (talk) 22:40, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Done. Today it worked well. First I had to erase Q110491021 and then it all worked out. Maiō T. (talk) 10:55, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

sex or gender (P21) and suggestion list[edit]

Hello, there is a problem displaying the list of suggestions for sex or gender (P21).

If you try to add a value, here are the first ones suggested by default:

If you click outside the input field, the list disappears, and if you click it again to add a value, the list defined in Property:P21#constraints (for property constraint (P2302)) is now properly displayed:

(with a slight difference: "no value" and "unknown value" between female organism (Q43445) and two-spirit (Q301702) are not present, but this may be logical for technical reasons.)

I'm wondering why the first list is displayed by default, even though it is not defined in Property:P21#constraints. Is it related to a cache problem?

Attempts have been made to solve this display issue: please see the revision history of "sex or gender" (P21), and discussions at Property talk:P21#Suggestions list and Wikidata:Project chat/Archive/2023/10#male and female. Thanks, Korg (talk) 14:11, 3 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Found what appears to be a bug[edit]

When using the filter function on the Revision History section of a user talk, there is a filter labeled "[TEST, do not approve] QS3 [1.0]".

The first section of that label leads me to believe that the filter is not supposed to be visible to the public. Keep in mind I could be wrong. Cleo Carson (talk) 21:42, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Ccarson2007: Thanks for reporting this issue! As far as I can tell, there is no bug here; the tag comes from a test OAuth consumer, and OAuth consumers can be used by the user who requested them (the developer) even without being approved. (All the edits associated with the tag come from this one user, as far as I can tell.) Arguably, it would’ve been better to have the [TEST, do not approve] disclaimer only in the description rather than in the name, or the test edits should’ve been done on Test Wikidata rather than real Wikidata, but neither of those can be changed now.

Two pages, one item, confused bot[edit]

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113639025 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q123677323 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_Time_%28Linton_Kwesi_Johnson_album%29

Two Wikidata pages for the same album. I have tried to add the Wikipedia link to the older and more complete page. I get an odd error. Meanwhile a bot keeps adding that same link to an empty page.

I don't know what to do so I hope I can leave this puzzle in the hands of the experts.

I think this has been dealt with. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 18:24, 9 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
