@Cyberpower678: is this true? --Donald Trung (talk) 07:50, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Donald Trung, why wouldn’t it be? —CYBERPOWER (Around) 12:10, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
@Cyberpower678: doesn't voting take place in the "Wikipedia:" Namespace? For the same reason I can't join the Wikipedia:Wikipedia Asian Month or request help at any WikiProject. --Donald Trung (talk) 12:14, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
Donald Trung, no it doesn’t. It takes place on a voting server. Just click the link and vote as you wish. If you weren’t allowed, we wouldn’t have added you to the voters list. :-)—CYBERPOWER (Around) 12:22, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
@Cyberpower678: did you read the above? --Donald Trung (talk) 08:04, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

WikiCite issue

GLAM ♥ data — what is a gallery, library, archive or museum without a catalogue? It follows that Wikidata must love librarians. Bibliography supports students and researchers in any topic, but open and machine-readable bibliographic data even more so, outside the silo. Cue the WikiCite initiative, which was meeting in conference this week, in the Bay Area of California.

Wikidata training for librarians at WikiCite 2018

In fact there is a broad scope: "Open Knowledge Maps via SPARQL" and the "Sum of All Welsh Literature", identification of research outputs, Library.Link Network and Bibframe 2.0, OSCAR and LUCINDA (who they?), OCLC and Scholia, all these co-exist on the agenda. Certainly more library science is coming Wikidata's way. That poses the question about the other direction: is more Wikimedia technology advancing on libraries? Good point.

Wikimedians generally are not aware of the tech background that can be assumed, unless they are close to current training for librarians. A baseline definition is useful here: "bash, git and OpenRefine". Compare and contrast with pywikibot, GitHub and mix'n'match. Translation: scripting for automation, version control, data set matching and wrangling in the large, are on the agenda also for contemporary library work. Certainly there is some possible common ground here. Time to understand rather more about the motivations that operate in the library sector.

Account creation is now open on the ScienceSource wiki, where you can see SPARQL visualisations of text mining.

Recent changes

  • Admins will not be able to unblock themselves if they are blocked by someone other than themselves. This is because it can cause damage if someone else takes over an admin account and other admins can't block them. If this is a problem for your community you can report it on Phabricator. You can also ask questions on Meta. There is a discussion on Phabricator about how to solve this if two admins fight with each other on a small wiki. [1]
  • Small SVG images are now bigger when you see them in MediaViewer. [2]
  • You can go to a section from the edit summary by clicking on the section name. Before this you had to click on the arrow. [3]
  • When you jumped to a footnote that was referenced several times in an article it could be difficult to see where you were in the text. Now there are jump marks and highlights to help you find your way back. [4][5]

Changes later this week

  • There is no new MediaWiki version this week.
