  • Tool of the week
    • TAViewer is a web-based anatomy atlas viewer that cross-references Terminologia Anatomica terms with data from Wikipedia and Wikidata.
  • Development
    • Continued working on the Query Builder: made it possible to limit the number of results in the result set, made it possible to include results from subclasses when querying for Item values, worked on negating queries and started on sharing of queries via URL. As always you can try the current state on the test system.
    • Making links in the Query Service redirect to the proper translations of their pages on-wiki by using Special:MyLanguage redirects (phab:T267656)
    • Working on fixing an issue with displaying large numbers for quantity values (phab:T268456)
    • Fixed a case where no error message was shown when trying to save a Lemma with an invalid language code (phab:T265783)
    • Talked to a few more people about checking Wikidata's data against other databases to find potential errors
    • Continuing the Release Strategy project for Wikibase, with the following progress:
      • Created a “release pipeline” for Wikibase extension (phab:T267627)
      • Created MediaWiki docker images based off release branches (phab:T270133)
      • Defined format and contents of Wikibase suite components not maintained by Wikimedia Germany (phab:T271194)

Wikidata weekly summary #453

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • Labelcleaner is a script by Andrew Gray used to clean up Wikidata labels/aliases/descriptions for a given language on a set of items.
  • Development
    • Continuing development on the first version of the Query Builder. It's starting to be able to do the first really meaningful queries now. Latest addition was the ability to negate conditions. Up next is the ability to connect conditions with OR instead of only AND as well as querying for quantities and ranges. You can follow along on the test system.
    • Exploring possible solutions for how to compare Wikidata's data against other databases to find and highlight mismatches automatically.
    • Added lexicographical data codes for a few languages: rkt, ctg (phab:T271589), and az-cyrl (phab:T265906)
    • Finished working on the issue of TypeError on a diff of a Wikidata talk page phab:T271402
    • Updated Wikidata unit conversion configuration (phab:T267644)
    • Fixed two last places where links in the the Query Service UI were not using Special:MyLanguage yet to redirect to the documentation page in the user's language (phab:T267656)
    • Pushing JSON dumps for Lexemes over the finish line (phab:T264883)
    • Working on showing an error when trying to save lemmas with invalid language codes (phab:T265783)
    • Wikibase Release Strategy
      • Investigated the release of Wikibase suite components not maintained by Wikimedia (phab:T271193)
      • Continued process of adding additional components to the Wikibase release, including OAuth (phab:T272580)

Wikidata weekly summary #454

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • Item documentation has two new features. First, it now includes two predefined SPARQL queries. The first one give the number of statements about the item by property and the second the list of statement about the properties. Second, for items of class award, it includes predefined SPARQL queries from TP award. See Q1624297 for an example.
    • Ranker lets you edit the ranks of several statements at once.
  • Development
    • Made it possible to connect query conditions with OR (instead of only AND) in the Query Builder (phab:T272694)
    • Making it possible to query only for statements with or without a reference in the Query Builder (phab:T272699)
    • Continuing to work on adding a rate limit for creating Item IDs to prevent people from allocating a large number of unassigned Item IDs that are then lost (phab:T272032)
    • Working on the problem of Lexeme merging failing if the source Lexeme has links to its own Senses (phab:T273830)
    • Working on showing an error when trying to save a Lemma with invalid language code on a Lexeme (phab:T265783)
    • Fixing an issue in the Property selector fallback where it is not falling back from language variant to major language (phab:T272712)
    • Making it possible to add Interwiki links to/from Multilingual Wikisource (phab:T138332)

Wikidata weekly summary #455

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
  • Development
    • Work on the Simple Query Builder continues. We finished connecting query conditions via OR (phab:T272694). Next we will work on adding the UI for sharing the visual query via a link (phab:T272887)
    • Improved the deployment process for the Query Service UI to make it easier to deploy
    • Fixed language code "dag" for Dagbani not working for Lemmas for Lexemes (phab:T272242)
    • Fixing the bug where the Property selector is not falling back from language variant to major language for Property labels (phab:T272712)
    • Adding a rate limit for creating Item IDs to avoid skipping so many due to misbehaving bots (phab:T272032)
    • Fixed the case where no error was shown when trying to save a lemma with an invalid language code (phab:T265783)
    • Fixed a but where merging two Lexemes fails if the source Lexeme has links to its own Senses (phab:T273830)
    • Increasing the rate of edits that trigger a check by the constraint checker to 50%. This will increase the number of constraints violations that you can query in the Query Service. (phab:T204031)
    • Making it possible to add interwiki links to/from Multilingual Wikisource (phab:T138332)
