You can now add labels in your language from within Reasonator. Technically oAuth is used. It now takes just one click to add a label in your language.
I've drafted some interview questions. Feel free to add or tweak questions. We'll need to translate the questions and invite people to respond. I usually post invitations on the project's talk page, and then dig around the contributors listing in the project's page and talkpage histories to find some active editors that I can send invitations on their user talk pages. For an example of how we've conducted previous interviews like this, take a look at this one. Thanks! –Mabeenot (talk) 16:16, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Any news? I've pushed the article back a few weeks so we have more time. We could try another Russian WikiProject if this one isn't being responsive. –Mabeenot (talk) 03:38, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Added more details to the diffs of time and geocoordinate values (will show which globe the coordinate is on and so on now as well)
More work on badges by Bene* - most work left is now in the GUI part of it
Removed unneeded and unused permissions/rights
Fixed a bug concerning spaces in quantities (bugzilla:61911)
Started work on taking ranks into account for queries, the property parser function and Lua. (By default only preferred values should be used if available. If not available then it should use values with rank normal.)
test2.wikipedia.org and test.wikipedia.org now use test.wikidata.org as their data repository, instead of wikidata.org
Started work on WikibaseInternalSerialization component
The Russian WikiProject Entomology interview will run this week. Do you have any suggestions for a Dutch or Italian project for a future interview? –Mabeenot (talk) 01:40, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
Wikidata weekly summary #101
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Changed the {{property}} parser function and Lua’s mw.wikibase.entity.formatPropertyValues to only return the statements ranked as preferred or if none are available the ones ranked as normal (This will probably go live on April 25th.)
Worked on improving page load time further by reducing the number of reloads during page loading
Made diffs for time and geocoordinates more complete and prettier
Continued research for user interface redesign
Tpt worked on optionally showing links to other sister projects in the client’s sidebar (bugzilla:54374)
Wrote a fix for Wikidata changes not showing up in the client’s watchlist (bugzilla:62149)
Updated a major chunk of our inline code documentation
Continued discussing technical details about how coordinates should be stored in Wikibase
Reduced page load time significantly once again. Page load time was cut to roughly 2/3. For now we’re happy with the resulting page load times. We’ll start concentrating on other areas of the user interface now.
Fixed faulty selection handling when adding a property using the keyboard (bugzilla:62868)
Worked on fixing issues with handling of spaces in quantities (bugzilla:62567)
Fixed miscount of Wikidata changes on the client watchlist (bugzilla:45812)
Wrote new browser tests for special pages using the Cucumber and Selenium frameworks
Improved error formatting, localisation and handling. We will work on error message wording next to make them more understandable.
Worked on the code which propagates page moves from the clients into Wikidata as a preparation for allowing page deletions to appear on Wikidata
Made the Wikibase extension work with the new “Compact language links” Beta feature and a bit more independent from the UniversalLanguageSelector in general
The student team working on the entity suggester has finished the first version of it. The code is being reviewed now and is hopefully ready for deployment soon. Once it is deployed it will show you what new properties you could add to an item.
Hi Daniel Mietchen, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:38, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
