DevelopmentWord from John- To give this section some life, since the development team had their holidays last week meaning nothing really got done (let them have one week off at least), I'll say a few words. 2014 is a new year and thus a new start, over the last year Wikidata celebrated its first birthday which brought reflection over what Wikidata had accomplish. Therefore I want to use the start of 2014 to reflect what Wikidata can do. For my personal over view see this page. For the summary, while it is meant to be a weekly simple update, I feel this can be used a lot more effective to put across not only what happened on Wikidata but things about Wikidata on other wikis, I am hoping to start a section over this within the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions for the summary, feel free to drop me a message at meta or Wikidata. Thanks.

- Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff' won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base. This is purely a trial and if you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here! Also sorry for this one being late :)

Wikidata weekly summary #117
[편집]Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
- Discussions
- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Two new GuidedTours (aka interactive tutorials) have been released—we now have one on editing items and one on editing statements! Both tours are available from the Wikidata:Tours portal and feedback can be left on the talk page at Wikidata_talk:Tours. The work was a combined effort of User:Bene* and Outreach Program for Women intern User:Thepwnco.
- We passed another milestone \o/ 10 million items now have an "instance of" or "subclass of" statement making it easy to tell what the item is about.
- Last week to add some selfies. We need more!
- Items with no image around you? Here you go! (change the number in the URL and click toggle markers) Thanks Magnus!
- Did you know?
- Newest properties: GUI toolkit or framework, SFDb ID, non-native language spoken, nominated for, number of seats in legislature, Cycling Archives Cyclist ID, licensed to broadcast to, MusicBrainz series ID, script directionality, World Glacier Inventory ID, original combination, Foundational Model of Anatomy ID, bug report page, FCC Facility ID, convicted of
- Development
- Bene* worked with the dev team this week. He pushed forward support for storing badges (eg featured article) on Wikidata and implemented the first two guided tours.
- CTRL+ click and middle click on a search result in the entity selector now opens the result in a new tab.
- Further progress on redirects
- Fixed a number of annoyances with the entity selector
- Continued work on mockups for new user interface
- Investigated what issues come up if we make wikidata.org its own client. Things look good so we will probably enable it soonish. This will mean you can link Wikidata pages in items and access the data in them on other pages on Wikidata.
- Monthly Tasks
- Fix a format or content violation for the World Register of Marine Species identifier (P850) property
- Hack on one of these.
- Help fix these items which has been flagged using Wikidata - The Game.

Wikidata weekly summary #153
[편집]Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
- Events/Blogs/Press
- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Build a RSS image feed based on a query
- Periodic table based on Wikidata data by Ricordisamoa
- ~8000 biographical items with dates in the description, but no birth/death date statements
- Magnus says ~8% (~1.4M) of all Wikidata items do not have any site links to Wikipedia etc.; knowledge that exists exclusively on Wikidata
- Bene* wrote a user script that adds a filter bar above the statement section and lets you filter it
- Magnus wrote a quick user script to move identifiers into the right sidebar to show how a statement section without identifiers would look like. This came up as part of a longer discussion on the mailinglist about moving identifier statements into their own section. Progress is being tracked at phabricator:T95287.
- Samsung releases Freebase-Wikidata mappings in CC0: 4.4M pairs generated from Wikipedia links and custom code
- Thanks to Bene* hovercards now also work for items and properties
- New tool by Magnus for Wikidata item labels
- Did you know?
- Newest properties: short name, list of episodes, named as
- New task forces: Star Wars, Open Access
- Development
- We are going to change the way value suggestions are ranked when entering a new statement. This will help with "male" and "female" not showing up among the top suggestions. Previously we ranked by number of sitelinks. We will change this to the maximum of sitelinks and labels. So if an item has labels in many languages but no sitelinks like "male" and "female" it will still show up high in the suggestions. (phabricator:T94404)
- Discussed how to move forward with identifiers. Outcome: They should get their own datatype. (phabricator:T95287)
- Implemented arbitrary access for the {{#property:…}} parser function. This can be invoked on the wikis that have arbitrary access enabled by using {{#property:P123|from=Q42}}. So far this is only Wikidata itself.
- Did further performance work on the client (Wikipedia and co) in preparation for arbitrary access
- Improved the performance of wbgetentities significantly when loading a large number of entities
- Wrote more browser tests for different datavalues
- Further work on RDF mapping and dumps
- Fixed in other language box showing old data (phabricator:T90893)
- Fixed language fallback on Special:Recent changes and Special:Contributions
- Added language fallback for the tooltip on badge icons

Wikidata weekly summary #163
[편집]Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
- Discussions
- German language Wikipedia closed its RfC on usage of Wikidata data. As a result Wikidata data can be used on the project as long as it happens through a template and it has a non-Wikimedia reference.
- Events/Blogs/Press
- Past: Office hour on IRC. We talked about cool things that happened around Wikidata over the past 3 months got an update on upcoming developments and Freebase and more. You can read the log.
- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- en:South Pole Telescope is a nice example of an infobox completely filled from Wikidata.
- Q20150617 was created on 2015-06-17
- More data from Freebase have been added the Primary Sources Tool. There is also a page to help the mapping of Freebase properties.
- Nice new manual for MixnMatch

- More work on getting the Wikibase Quality extensions ready for deployment. They'll improve constraint checking and provide checks against 3rd party databases.
- Special:UnconnectedPages had to be reworked (thanks Amir!) because of huge performance issues. Because of this it loses some functionality (being able to specify where the list starts and limiting the list to pages that have local interwiki links). We're working on bringing functionality back without the performance penalty.
- Bene* created a SPARQL abstraction layer for PHP called Asparagus: https://github.com/Benestar/asparagus
- Enabled arbitrary access on arwiki, cawiki, eswiki, huwiki, kowiki, rowiki, ukwiki, viwiki, and usage tracking on dewiki, ruwiki, cswiki and all s3 wikis. (ruwiki and cswiki get arbitrary access on June 23)

Wikidata weekly summary #300
[편집]Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
- Welcome to the 300th Weekly Summary!
The weekly newsletter was started by Lydia at the very beginning of the Wikidata project, even before the first deployment, to keep the community informed about the developments, the new projects and tools. More than five years later, the newsletter is still there, its content powered by the community, and sent every week all along the years. I wanted to say a warm "thank you!" to each person who helped filling the Weekly Summary <3
Over the past years, as you know, Wikidata has grown a lot. More data, more tools, more editors and reusers, more exciting projects led by the community. The Weekly Summary has evolved with us, and the 300th edition seems a good moment to ask you all your suggestions about the newsletter, how it could continue evolving, and how you would like to improve it.
On that purpose, you can find a feedback page to express all your ideas about the Weekly Summary. We're very interested to know more about your reading habits, the parts you're more or less interested in, the new topics you would like to share with the community. Thanks in advance for filling it.
I stay available anytime to discuss with you, feel free to contact me if you have any question or concern! Cheers, Léa
