Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • New requests for permissions/Bot:
      • ListedBuildingsUKBot. Task/s: Add wikidata site links to appropriate wiki commons category pages for listed buildings with matching ID numbers. I've identified about 1000 entities that can be updated. e.g. [1] should have a wiki commons link to [2] since they both refer to [3].
  • Development
    • Lexicographical data:
      • We have finished most of the development on the new Special:NewLexeme page. You can try it at https://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:NewLexemeAlpha. We will make this available on Wikidata for testing with real-world data on July 14th.
      • We are continuing to work on the new search profile for languages to make setting the language of a new Lexeme easier (phab:T307869)
    • REST API: We are putting finishing touches on the first version of the API route to add statements to an Item. It is still lacking support for automated edit summaries.
    • We are working on word-level diffs to make it easier to see what changed in an edit (phab:T303317)
    • We are investigating the issue of labels not being shown after some merges (phab:T309445)

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

  • Please note that due to me being busy/at times not much to report on Wiki(p/m)edia some issues of this newsletter may be skipped. Don't worry I haven't forgotten about it!
  • Sometimes during the delivery of the issue, the mass message extension sends it twice for some reason. Please note I only send them once and not twice. I apologise for the inconvenience this causes.
  • Remember that the Wikimedia Foundation also hosts other wikis too! So if you want to see what other wikis there are, give it a try! You might find something you like!
