Wikidata weekly summary #471

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • You can now add a title to a query visualisation by adding #title:YourTitle to your SPARQL code (phab:T225883, example query with a title)
    • Added a new constraints type to indicate that a certain Property should only be used on Lexemes of a certain language (phab:T200689)
    • Working on not checking the format constraints via SPARQL to take that load off the SPARQL endpoint and make it technically better (phab:T176312)
    • Working on making the API-Sandbox not suggest edits to real Items (phab:T219215)

Bitte um Umbenennung einer Datei (Fliegende Blätter)

Hallo Arnd, die folgende Datei hatte unser neuer WS-Mitstreiter WeHoLindenbronn hochgeladen und versehentlich mit der djvu-Seitenzahl (069) versehen.
[[File:Fliegende Blätter 2 069 b1.png]]
Durchgängig werden aber alle Grafiken der Fliegenden Blätter bezeichnet mit der Originalseite dort. Das ist hier die Seite 065.
Den Antrag zur Umbennenung hatte ich schon vor Tagen gestellt. Bisher ist er leider noch offen. Magst Du Dich vielleicht darum kümmern? Vielen Dank! Viele Grüße, --Unendlicheweiten (talk) 16:43, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Hallo Unendlicheweiten, erledigt. File:Fliegende Blätter 2 069 b1.png fehlt dann allerdings noch. Gruß, --Arnd (talk) 06:31, 14 June 2021 (UTC)
Vielen Dank! Ja, das ist klar! Ich musste ja warten, bis der Dateiname wieder frei ist!  ;-) Grüße, --Unendlicheweiten (talk) 21:22, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #472

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Wikidata Community/Diversity 2021 Survey has been published. The results are meant to serve as a baseline to see how the community might (not) change in the future.
    • WikidataCon 2021: A sustainable future for Wikidata. Information about "the conference theme, its three-day program structure and a special project on diversity taking place before the conference itself".
    • The call for candidates for 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board elections has begun on June 9. The last date to apply is June 29, 2021.
  • Development
    • Working on no longer using the Query Service to evaluate Constraints Checks regular expressions (this should make our checks faster and allow for further improvements) (phab:T176312)
    • Changing the rate limits for assigning Item IDs further, which should result in even fewer Q-IDs being skipped in the future (phab:T284538)
    • Finalizing the concepts for a tool to help work on mismatches between Wikidata's data and other databases/websites/...

Wikidata weekly summary #473

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Interlanguage links now work for multilingual Wikisource. phab:T275958
    • User:Nikki/LexemeEntitySuggester.js now supports searching for senses for the translation property.
    • The call for candidates for 2021 Wikimedia Foundation Board elections has begun on June 9. The last date to apply is June 29, 2021.
    • Since the beginning of the month, phabricator tickets about language codes (and names of languages) were reviewed and triaged to better reflect their content and current status. Some work was done to better identify the steps for such changes, highlight and address bottlenecks and system issues. Patches for a few codes were contributed and are being released. Phabricator "Language codes" workboard provides an overview, phab:T284856 attempts to identify maintenance steps and phab:T284276 determine turn-around times. phab:T284808 should finally close a gap in termbox language handeling. A way to better address some or all aspects of changes of language codes applicable to Wikipedia editions still needs to be found. Don't hesitate to request the addition or update of language names (e.g. the name of Dutch in Danish) or missing language codes, notably for monolingual strings (see Help:Monolingual text languages).

Wikidata weekly summary #474

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Mismatch Finder: We started building the foundation of the place that will store the mismatches between Wikidata and other databases/catalogs/...
    • Continued work on migrating the checks of regular expressions for constraints from SPARQL to a better solution to take that load off of the SPARQL endpoint (phab:T176312)
    • Made it possible to show language links from multilingual Wikisource to the other language versions of Wikisource (phab:T275958)
    • Added a new constraint type to indicate that a certain Property should only be used on Lexemes with a specific language (phab:T200689)
    • Fixed a weird issue with suggesters popping back up when they shouldn't (phab:T284219)
    • Invalid data will not be handled better in RDF outputs (phab:T285131)
    • Working on lowering the rate limit at which a misbehaving bot can waste new Item IDs to further reduce the percentage of skipped Item IDs (phab:T284538)
    • Working on not suggesting real Item IDs in the API sandbox to avoid accidental edits by people who think it is not making real edits (phab:T219215)
    • Working on reducing the time it takes between entering a value in a new statement and being able to save the statement (phab:T281669)
    • Improved documentation of the usage tracking aspects in API help pages. Usage tracking is an internal mechanism to track which article on Wikipedia etc uses which data from an Item on Wikidata. (phab:T283040)
    • Language codes for monolingual strings "gsw-fr", "ykg", "wya", "osa-latn" were made available: Alsatian, Tundra Yukaghir, Wendat, Osage (phab:T262922, phab:T252198, phab:T283364, phab:T265297)
    • The English name for language code "crh" and the Swedish name for "fa" were corrected (phab:T240350, phab:T281702)
    • Lexeme language codes ha-arab, sux-latn, sux-xsux, gsg, tlh-piqd, tlh-latn, bfi, pwn, enm were added. That is Hausa in Arabic script, Sumerian in cuneiform and Latin-script, German Sign Language, Klingon in pIqaD and Latin script, British Sign Language, Paiwan and Middle English. (phab:T282512, phab:T279557)
    • It was determined that language codes can be activated for Wikidata while being blocked for use on Incubator (phab:T273705), this to avoid projects such as a "British English Wikipedia"
    • Language code "es-419" for Latin American Spanish has been available for labels and descriptions for quite some time (phab:T230786)
    • A possibly confusing Russian mis-translation of the name of the language code for "multiple languages" (mul) is being reviewed (phab:T245927)
    • "en-simple:" can be used instead of "simple:" to link to Simple Wikipedia. Query Services outputs "en-simple", not "simple" for sitelinks to Simple Wikipedia (phab:T283149).
    • There was some discussion about the creation of a language code "en-in" for monolingual strings, but "en-in" as interface language seems to be preferred (phab:T212313)

LVMC outing

Hi, I just realized I never answered your question from 2019(!). "LVMC" is Las Vegas Mountaineering Club; I went on a number of their hikes and climbs, and managed to get some wiki-photography in during rest breaks. :-) Stan Shebs (talk) 13:21, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi Stan Shebs, thank you for answering even if it took a while. Actually i was cleaning up the dates of photos and found these cases. Are you ok to remove the (LVMC outing) to have a proper and machine-readable date? It relates to these photos. Or do you want to move that information to somewhere else in the {{Information}} template? --Arnd (talk) 14:27, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
It would be good to leave it elsewhere in info if possible, other club members might be reminded of the day. (I actually got a thank-you note from someone who recognized himself in another photo, and appreciated the memory.) Stan Shebs (talk) 16:12, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Stan Shebs, finished. Now your photos are ready for other Bots extracting the date. --Arnd (talk) 17:55, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
