|
| Structured conversation #1: Round-tripping data & follow-up
Notes
|
- Better documenting contacts in properties (->new Property proposal? for contact, for website page, other)
- Create documentation for external data providers about benefits of taking mistake-reports from Wikidata (possibly with examples of past successful experiences)
- Chapters could help building working relationships with Institutions
- example of past experiences, what are the best practices (what works and what doesn't), some pages already exist but need to be synthesized and made more findable
|
- Create initial version of the a landing page for round-tripping data (Epìdosis): done
- Create property proposal (Epìdosis): done
- Create Phabricator task for the potential new tool: done
|
| Build queries for data quality and maintenance Notes
|
- make sure the items you care about are queryable at all (e.g. you can query for a list of all figure skaters); initial statements can be populated from Wikipedia categories using PetScan
- then, create many simple queries checking the structure of those items (e.g. all figure skaters without participating events)
|
- Do a presentation of Petscan at a future event (Harmonia)
|
| How do we deal with concurrent uses of different properties? The example of modeling data for humans Replay Presentation Notes

| Bug Triage Hour: Data Quality edition Notes
|
New board for data quality related tasks: Wikidata data quality and trust https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/6024/
Tickets improved:
- Jheald https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T246731 : Julian dates reflected in a very confusing way on WDQS.
- Jheald https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T159160: display of correct date precision in WDQS
- Epìdosis https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T310981: concurring modelings of year-precision dates
- Mike Peel https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56097 - allow to select globe in the UI

| Discussion: Matching new Wikipedia articles to Wikidata items Notes Slides
|
|
- [nikki] I like the idea of [pi bot adding a "on focus list" statement, reusing the same item and adding a qualifier for the date,] setting the date to month
- [Mike] explore the idea of a Wikidata game to offer WP articles and WD items to match (what exactly would be the task? would it be a good task for a newcomer? etc.)
- Put some kind of warning banner on Wikipedia "this article is not yet connected to Wikidata"
- Further research: what are these articles that are not connected to Wikidata, where they're coming from, who created them, and why didn't they connect them?
- [nikki] the simplest thing I can think of is to add something to the page before deleting and have a bot re-add it using that info after undeleting
- Offer to connect an article to WD at the creation (on the WP interface), offering a few suggestions of WD items
- but make sure they always have a "none of the above" option
- Todo Lydia: look for the ticket or create a new one
- Think about what we discussed today and if you come up with ideas, feel free to contact Mike Peel
|
| Structured conversation #2: Rules and anarchy Notes
|
|
- Look at the property proposal template and improve it
- Experiment with a Property Proposal Hour (event can be run by WMDE but experienced community members would need to participate in order to help others)
- Possibly a test during the next Wikidata & Wikibase office hour
- Try to approve bots in a faster way
- Enforce the policy for users to check and fix their own mistakes
- Throttle accounts without bot flag, so they need to apply for the flag
- maybe have a way to flag problematic edits to the user/bot and give them a deadline to fix it
|
| Using Scholia in curation workflows Replay Notes
|
- Scholia provides a rich set of ways to interact with the scholarly subset of Wikidata
- Scholia has both passive (e.g. showing inconsistencies / incompleteness) and active support (links to curation tools like the Author Disambiguator) for curation
|
- Use Scholia and let the Scholia team know your thoughts and suggestions on-wiki, via Twitter or preferably via issues or pull requests on GitHub
|
| Dealing with cross-wiki spam on Wikidata Notes Slides
|
|
- Find or create a ticket to solve the issue that some types of use on Commons (e.g. structured data) doesn't appear on the Wikidata interface/tools, causing unjustified deletions
- Related: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T262837 SDC statements should record entity usage for wikidata entities used in statements
- Feature some gadgets mentioned in the presentation (TwinkleGlobal, RequestDeletion) in the tool of the week section in the weekly summary https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Status_updates/Next
|
| Livestream with Ainali & Abbe98 - special Data Quality Replay

|
|
| Structured conversation #3: Why isn’t there more guidance on this? Notes
|
|
- Establish a way to "graduate" JS scripts to full gadgets
- Add WD:Tools to the sidebar?
- Re-order gadgets in Special:Preferences according to topic/function
- Provide more gadgets with descriptive pages including visual material (screenshots, GIFs, video tutorials)
- Use WikiProjects to list gadgets useful for a specific area (many WikiProject already do it, anyway)
- Reflect on the possibility of allowing gadget authors to have fine-grained permissions to edit their gadgets after they have been promoted to Mediawiki
- Gadget that takes P31 and inferres from there the project, enabled by default (trial enabled for some classes only)
- https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikiprojects in the sidebar?
- group Wikimedia properties (meta properties) in an apposite dedicated section in Items (per https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022/Wikidata/Dedicated_section_for_everything_meta_on_item_pages; Phab ticket to be created)
