Task/s:
- Update of the latest stable version of free software. My initial plan is to support videogames from the Chakra repositories that exist in Wikidata already. For games that do not exist in Wikidata, I may create an entry for them if a Wikipedia article exists about them. Later, I plan to extend the software list to other types of Chakra software that is also present in Wikidata or the English Wikipedia.
Code:
- Main repository: https://gitorious.org/shyde/wikidata
- Base repository: https://gitorious.org/shyde/shyde (the main repository basically calls code defined at shyde/wikidata)
Function details:
- For each piece of software that the script supports (current list):
- Add the latest stable version to the version property of a software entity if such version is not present.
- Add a release date qualifier to the latest stable version property value of a software entity if such version lacks a release date qualifier.
- Add an URL reference to the latest stable version property value of a software entity if such version lacks a reference.
Motivation:
- I was writing a script to detect which games (and possibly regular applications in the future) in Chakra are out of date in the Chakra repositories. I realized that such information, if pulished in Wikidata, could benefit a wide audience. Since I got some skills with Pywikibot, I though that making a new script that updates this information in Wikidata would be fun, and it would help me to get to know Wikidata better.

- It would be good if you could set the rank of the latest version to "preferred" and all other ranks to "normal". --Pasleim (talk) 18:17, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Any progress here?--Ymblanter (talk) 16:40, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I was planning to answer as soon as I had it done, but I am busy working on something else and it will take me at least a couple of months. In that time I won’t run the bot. That said, my plan is to implement the rank thingy before I run the bot again. Many thanks for your feedback. Gallaecio (talk) 05:01, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @GZWDer: Done, the bot can now make the latest version the "preferred" one and any other version "normal". I have a daily test that will let me know when any of the data that the bot can update needs updating, and I will run the bot manually when required. Thanks!

- @Gallaecio: It seems this request is what now needs updating. Is everything good to go for this request? Note: the operator hasn't edited WD in over 5 months, and may be inactive. Hazard SJ 04:30, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
