Wikidata weekly summary #392

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
  • Cradle enables editors to create a new item by completing a form. You can create a new form on the Cradle help page. Cradle forms can be used as templates to ensure that similar new items are structured the same way. This can be especially helpful for specific WikiProjects or datathons, and is a great timesaver if you are creating many similar items by hand.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • 570k VIAF identifiers have been added to Wikidata items in an effort of synchronisation between the two databases, thanks to Bargioni. In order to report errors in VIAF an apposite page has been created. More information here.
    • Query Service lag now affects maxlag. You may need to retry/reset error multiple times when you run QuickStatement or OpenRefine in busy hours.
    • Wikidata now documented more than six million people, more than the number of articles in English Wikipedia
    • New documentation page: Wikidata:Map data
  • Development
    • Add Wikidata query service lag to Wikidata maxlag (phab:T221774)
    • More work on tainted references and getting the feature ready to be tested
    • Fix a bug with Wikibase test builds (phab:T238575)
    • More work on improving the edit summaries (phab:T224013)
    • Bridge: Viewing existing references (phab:T233397)
    • Preserving native behavior on key+click (phab:T234060)
    • Speeding up initialization, by attaching link listeners sooner (phab:T235765) and reducing the size of the init module (phab:T235771)
    • Recording metrics for bridge opening performance (phab:T237368)

Paul Holmes

Hi Andrew. Apologies, yes it should be a different person and not Paul Holmes (Chesterfield MP). I was updating all the MPs following the general election, and this one was incorrectly linked from the main article. Thanks for spotting it! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 13:12, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

@Lugnuts: No worries - I was doing some similar updates on WD and he came up as an anomaly. I think Holmes (v2) was the last one who needed an article on WP - quite impressed we got everyone sorted out less than 48h after polls closed! Andrew Gray (talk) 17:58, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
