Wikidata weekly summary #538

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • New requests for permissions/Bot:
      • بوٹ دا عثمان
        • Task/s:
          • Dual script support for Punjabi Wikidata labels and descriptions in Gurmukhi (pa) and Shahmukhi (pnb), taking a conservative approach (only making "obvious" transliterations).
          • Addition of labels and descriptions entirely consistent of information which can be inferred from other language labels (again, only for "obvious" cases).
  • Tool of the week
    • WD-FIST is a userscript that checks Wikipedia pages for available images if the item doesn't have one (automatically or manually via sidebar link).
  • Development
    • REST API:
      • Finished the endpoint for editing statements (phab:T306934)
      • Working on automated edit summaries (phab:T312811)
      • Making small modifications to the response format for statements (phab:T317866)
    • Lexicographical data:
      • Special:NewLexemeAlpha now uses the new search profile for languages, which makes it easier to select a language Item for the language of the new Lexeme (phab:T312853)
      • Finished the work on making sure that the example Lexeme falls back to other locally defined examples for languages other than English instead of the pre-set example Lexeme (phab:T313599)
      • Working on making sure that only *-x-Q123, not *-x-q123, can be used as a Lexeme language code (phab:T317863)
    • Sitelinks to Redirects are now available for testing on test.wikidata.org
    • Improved the wrapping and selection behavior of aliases in the header of an Item (phab:T315991) Thanks Fomafix for the patch!
    • Improved the translations of the Lexeme and EntitySchema namespaces (phab:T316770) Thanks to Amire80 for the patch!
    • Started supporting Codex work for some Wikidata-specific work needed in the new design system (phab:T306932)

The primary goal of this session is to generate as many contributor and publisher items as we can in advance of the two following sessions which have to do with batch editing -- we want enough to make a good batch! We will review how to add items, but then reserve the bulk of the session for open editing, kind of like a mini-editathon! Naturally, participants can ask questions and share thoughts at any point during the editing! You are, as always, welcome to bring your own data to work on. All sessions in the project series will be recorded. Links will be added when available. Event page

WiR topic for the year 2023

Thank you, Oronsay, for encouraging us to establish Women in Red's Topic for year-long focus in 2023. As a result of the discussions on the WiR talk page, the consensus appears to be "Peace & Diplomacy". I've added it to the Ideas page under 2023. As you may have seen, there was also considerable interest in "Education" which we should try to support either by emphasis in our monthly priorities or by introducing something new. (cc Rosiestep)--Ipigott (talk) 16:00, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Good to hear from you, @Ipigott. With the addition of diplomacy, it will hopefully be broad enough to attract a good haul of new articles. Oronsay (talk) 22:01, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

essa may ranapiri

Kia ora Oronsay, I hope you are well! I just wondered about your addition of essa may ranapiri to List of New Zealand women writers. I wouldn't have thought non-binary people should be included in lists of women, but maybe there is a consensus on this I'm not aware of? I had a look at MOS:NB but this doesn't seem to directly assist. I have also added them to List of New Zealand writers. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 21:01, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Kia ora Oronsay, I was just dropping in to say thanks for your interest in the article and raise the same matter. essa's been clear about not being a man or a woman (see this interview), so I'll remove them from the list. Thanks! Avocadobabygirl (talk) 21:40, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Sorry about that, @Avocadobabygirl and @Chocmilk03. Poor assumption on my part – I was just looking for another incoming link. I'm concerned that notability may not be met as a longlisting is far short of winning a national award. Oronsay (talk) 22:19, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
No problem! I've put the word out for anyone who can add more details that would support notability and completeness. Avocadobabygirl (talk) 22:24, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Likewise, no worries at all, I thought I might've missed something. :) I agree it might be a bit of a close-run thing, although there is coverage of ranapiri in some additional secondary sources which can be added to the article and may support WP:BASIC: [1] [2] [3] [4] (a couple of these reference the controversy over an apparently transphobic review of ranapiri's work published in the New Zealand Listener). I can add these later after work, or @Avocadobabygirl feel free? Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:28, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

    • The September 2022 summary for the Wikidata Query Service backend update is out.
  • 🧑🏿‍💻 Development
    • MUL language code: fixed the order of languages shown in the termbox on desktop, especially when mul is used (phab:T311617)
    • Lexicographical data:
      • Made Special:NewLexemeAlpha use the same font as the rest of the wiki (phab:T313166) – this should be the last blocker for replacing the old special page
      • Disallowed *-x-qid with lowercase Q as Lexeme language codes in favor of *-x-Qid (phab:T317863)
    • REST API: worked on handling conditional HTTP request headers
    • Changed the unexpectedUnconnectedPage page prop so that Special:UnconnectedPages can show the latest pages first, which should finally resolve this old security task in production (phab:T300770)
    • Cleaned up the Wikibase and WikibaseLexeme ontology files (phab:T314360)
    • Added a few more globes for geocoordinates (phab:T314611) - Thanks, Mike!

Review of Page?

Hello, Oronsay! I saw you are active in WikiProject Women, and was hoping you could help. I recently inquired to @Ipigott and @MarioGom with assistance removing the conflict of interest flag on Fawn Weaver. They requested I get an experienced editor to review the page content further, as some COI and UPE-related contributions are still a part of the article.

I did try to remove the flag manually in 2021 after learning of Fawn and her work with POCs - though as stated on Ipigott's Talk page, I don't have a conflict of interest with Fawn (I did edit the page without understanding its history, admittedly). I have now completed a thorough review of the content and citations, and everything now seems to be accurate and appropriate, though I would defer to you and your judgment. Would you be willing to review the page contents, and remove the flag (and any additional problematic content I may have missed, if there is any) once you have?

Of course, the other editors mentioned are free to contribute to the conversation and edits, if they have anything to add. Thank you! Jerr1966 (talk) 11:00, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Margaret Georgina Corrick

Hello Oronsay, Thanks very much for creating the article Margaret Georgina Corrick. Gderrin (talk) 19:42, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Thank you kindly, @Gderrin. Please feel free to add any info you have. Oronsay (talk) 19:55, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
