Wikidata weekly summary #153

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Events/Blogs/Press
  • Wikidata by country, or: The Wealth of Nation's Data
  • Wikidata the Game - one year in
  • Ongoing: GLAM-Wiki 2015
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Build a RSS image feed based on a query
  • Periodic table based on Wikidata data by Ricordisamoa
  • ~8000 biographical items with dates in the description, but no birth/death date statements
  • Magnus says ~8% (~1.4M) of all Wikidata items do not have any site links to Wikipedia etc.; knowledge that exists exclusively on Wikidata
  • Bene* wrote a user script that adds a filter bar above the statement section and lets you filter it
  • Magnus wrote a quick user script to move identifiers into the right sidebar to show how a statement section without identifiers would look like. This came up as part of a longer discussion on the mailinglist about moving identifier statements into their own section. Progress is being tracked at phabricator:T95287.
  • Samsung releases Freebase-Wikidata mappings in CC0: 4.4M pairs generated from Wikipedia links and custom code
  • Thanks to Bene* hovercards now also work for items and properties
  • New tool by Magnus for Wikidata item labels
• Did you know?
  • Newest properties: short name, list of episodes, named as
  • New task forces: Star Wars, Open Access
• Development
  • We are going to change the way value suggestions are ranked when entering a new statement. This will help with "male" and "female" not showing up among the top suggestions. Previously we ranked by number of sitelinks. We will change this to the maximum of sitelinks and labels. So if an item has labels in many languages but no sitelinks like "male" and "female" it will still show up high in the suggestions. (phabricator:T94404)
  • Discussed how to move forward with identifiers. Outcome: They should get their own datatype. (phabricator:T95287)
  • Implemented arbitrary access for the {{#property:…}} parser function. This can be invoked on the wikis that have arbitrary access enabled by using {{#property:P123|from=Q42}}. So far this is only Wikidata itself.
  • Did further performance work on the client (Wikipedia and co) in preparation for arbitrary access
  • Improved the performance of wbgetentities significantly when loading a large number of entities
  • Wrote more browser tests for different datavalues
  • Further work on RDF mapping and dumps
  • Fixed in other language box showing old data (phabricator:T90893)
  • Fixed language fallback on Special:Recent changes and Special:Contributions
  • Added language fallback for the tooltip on badge icons
• Monthly Tasks
  • Hack on one of these.
  • Help fix these items which have been flagged using Wikidata - The Game.
  • Help develop the next summary here!
  • Contribute to a Showcase item
  • Help translate or proofread pages in your own language!

Mulțumesc

Mă bucur că vă place articolul MECIPT, mai lucrez la el. La M-1 partea hardware este aproape finalizată, înerc să fac rost și de setul de instrucțiuni cablate. Vreau să mai scriu despre programare și utilizări. La M-2 și M-3 nu știu dacă voi putea aduna atâta material. Dacă aveți sugestii cu ce ar mai putea conține articolul, spuneți. --Turbojet 19 aprilie 2015 12:57 (EEST)

modificare link Basilica Cisterna 19.04.2015

Buna ziua, am modificat linkul deoarece era un broken link ce ducea catre o pagina 404. Punandu-l la loc, linkul duce catre aceeasi pagina 404.

E discutabil dacă linkul respectă regulile de la WP:LE dar cu siguranță nu avea ce să caute la începutul articolului, așa cum l-ați pus dvs. De aceea am făcut revenirea.--Strainu (دسستي‎)  19 aprilie 2015 23:23 (EEST)

Checkuser

Avem din ce în ce mai multe cazuri de abuz de clone, și dintre ele multe sunt acțiuni susținute, care nu se opresc și trebuie combătute permanent. Cred că e nevoie să fie ceva mai mulți checkuseri, de asta te-am propus pe tine (din motivele pe care le-am scris deja în formularul de candidatură). Cred că ar fi bine dacă ai accepta și nu cred că sunt motive să nu accepte comunitatea. —Andrei^discuţie 18 mai 2015 16:48 (EEST)

Scuze

Scuze, dar prin multele notificări pe care le-am avut în ultimele 2-3 săptămâni, cea de aici s-a rătăcit și nu mi-a sărit în ochi. Deabea astăzi odată cu ștergerea paginii respective mi-a sărit în ochi modificarea statusului articolului Michelle Bressan în "Pagini urmărite". În principiu am văzut la inițiere a doua propunere de ștergere, dar angrenat fiind în activității „moldovenistice” și de îmbunătățire a articolelor propuse pentru „Articole bune” – pe care le consideram mai importante, am neglijat să fiu atent în continuare. --Accipiter _Q. Gentilis^(D) 28 mai 2015 00:19 (EEST) P.S. Tehnic vorbind, la ora asta nu sunt sigur dacă subiectul respectiv este întradevăr notabil sau nu, deoarece anul trecut nu m-am înghesuit să caut despre el prea multe date, iar actual nu am avut destul timp pe care să-l de dedic pentru asta. Dacă aveți timp, mutați-mi vă rog textul din pagina ștearsă în spațiul meu de utilizator și voi vedea ce pot face. În caz că mi se va părea că rentează, o să vă solicit ulterior să o restaurați pentru o continuarea eventuală a discuției despre ștergere.
