== The time value is malformed ==

I am getting this error as as of a short time ago, whereas I was not getting the error before.  Restarting my computer and refreshing the pages does not seem to help.  I am typing 2015 Jul 20, which used to work.  I have tried several other formats, but anything beyond just the year is creating an error. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 00:15, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

== Should there be a "refers to different value/object" reason for deprecation? ==

Should there be something like {{Q|Q28091153}} but for the value/object instead of the subject? I feel like I've looked for that a few times when deprecating statements.

(The current statement I'd like to use it on is {{Statement|Q20026880|P155|Q2323961}} because I think The Survivor follows a different item with the same name.) [[User:Dseomn|dseomn]] ([[User talk:Dseomn|talk]]) 02:12, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

:I would create a new item with the same name, but a different description, making clear why it's different. I created in the same way multiple Surinam plantations with the same name, but located at different rivers by adding the name of the river in the description.

== Image of a city ==

Hello,
I'm a newbie here and I ended up on Wikidata by contributing to Commons. I have a question about the best way to choose an image linked to a town. Many Wikidata items display the town hall, which I think provides little information. I noticed that in many cases, we could find fairly good images of the whole town or a significant view of it on Commons. Is this choice of displaying the town hall the result of a community consensus or decision ? Is there a page to help us choosing the best image for a town ? I couldn't find any specific instruction apart from the "San Francisco" example on the image help page.
Thank you ! [[User:Anne Daemon|Anne Daemon]] ([[User talk:Anne Daemon|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 10:19, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|Anne Daemon}} The consensus would be stated on [[Wikidata:WikiProject Cities and Towns]] and the image example there clearly shows a view of the city, not just a town hall. So I'm pretty sure a view of the town would be perfect for {{P|18}} values on town items. Thanks for working on this!

== Incorrect Portrait of Jose Aniceto Iznaga ==

My name is Diana Yznaga Gomez and Jose Aniceto Iznaga/Yznaga is my great, great grandfather.  The portrait that is displayed when you do an Internet Search on Jose Aniceto I/Yznaga is not Jose Aniceto Iznaga.  I am requesting that it be removed and replaced with the authentic Jose Aniceto Iznaga portrait.  
Because there are several websites on the Internet purporting this person to be Jose Aniceto I/Yznaga, we decided to send the picture shown on this website to two reputable museums for verification as to the time/era/dress to see if it coincides with the pictures we have of Jose Aniceto I/Yznaga.
Here is their response.
Hi Diana –
This question was a bit out of my scope so I shared it with our Assistant Registrar Liz Paris, who did graduate work with 19th century photography.  Liz Paris, has helped with costuming/19th century photography questions before.: Here’s what she wrote (she’s also copied here):
I can elaborate more on this if needed, but the clothing looks like 1900-1910s—definitely not 1860s. The collar and tie are the biggest indicators that this is not from the mid-19th century; the comparison is even more clear with the context images we sent the last time, especially the image with one of Iznaga and his son from the 1850s.
Hope this helps!
Good luck with your research –

Subject: RE: Request for Assistance - Mr Yznaga
I think that Mr. Yznaga is correct in his doubts: my feeling is 1880s, based on other period images that feature gentlemen with casual center-parted hair, as well as his very relaxed/jaunty demeanor for the photographer (we have comparable neckties documented on an 1894 Boston shot, so we might be safe to date it 1880s-90s).
Because two very reputable museums have both said this could not be Jose Aniceto I/Yznaga, we are requesting that this picture be removed.  Along with the proof from the museums, I am attaching a link from the Historia de Cuba displaying the authentic picture of my great, great grandfather.  https://digitalcollections.library.miami.edu/digital/collection/cubanphotos/id/3557/   Please see page 23 for the picture of Jose Aniceto Iznaga.

== {{Q|Q93315}} ==

Hello,

The [https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanobacteriota French page] as well as the [https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanobacteriota Spanish one] have been recently moved to "Cyanobacteriota". As a result, they are not linked any more to the wiki pages in other languages (and there are many, about 80 of them). The wikilinks for the Spanish and French wikis shoud be changed to ''Cyanobacteriota'', instead of "Cyanobacteria" which is now only a redirect. This is impractical if you want to see the 80 links to other languages since they are on the redirect and not the main page. I tried to correct this but for an unknown reason the same wikilink cannot be used on two pages (already used in {{Q|Q25577567}}). I don't see solutions other than removing the Spanish and French links from {{Q|Q25577567}}) so as I can put them in {{Q|Q93315}}. I tried this too but got reverted each time.

Any guess of what to do?

Thank you in advance

[[Special:Contributions/80.215.169.25|80.215.169.25]] 17:40, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

:Redirects can be linked - see [[Wikidata:Sitelinks to redirects]]. You can also add direct links on the relevant language wikipedia pages. [[User:ArthurPSmith|ArthurPSmith]] ([[User talk:ArthurPSmith|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:10, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
::{{ping|ArthurPSmith}} I'm not sure what you are talking about in your second sentence: do you mean that I have to add 80 interwiki links on the Spanish and the French pages? I thought they were discarded a long time ago thanks to Wikidata. Concerning {{Q|Q93315}}, the French redirect is [https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cyanobacteria&redirect=no this] and the Spanish on is [https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cyanobacteria&redirect=no this], i.e. a ''redirect page'' with about 80 interwiki links that used to be on the main page before it was renamed. This is rather impractical, isn't it? That's why I suggest only changing the links in {{Q|Q93315}} (the main page rather the redirect) so as to correct this messy situation.

== Removing extra languages ==

When I look at an item it shows me the description in English as well my two suggested languages: Maori and American English. I don't wish to have this as they never have a description. Looking at my settings they appear to be suggested languages yet I don't see a way to remove them.

in the english language wikipedia, thousands of articles for television seasons have been moved to remove brackets:

* [[:en:Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 28]]

As a result, at the moment about 5.000 articles are now unconnected, which have been connected to wikidata objects before:

* https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=27553093
* https://wikidata-todo.toolforge.org/duplicity/#/stats/enwiki

Is there a way to reconnect these articles to the already existing wikidata items automatically again after moving the articles in the english language wikipedia?

{{Ping|Mike Peel}} for information.

Thanks a lot! [[User:M2k~dewiki|M2k~dewiki]] ([[User talk:M2k~dewiki|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:11, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|M2k~dewiki}} The bot should have moved them in a way that updated the sitelinks at the same time, if not then the bot operator should fix it. Pi bot will search for matches and load them into the game, if it can't find them that way then it would create new items for them soon. Thanks.

== How to handle vandalism ==

On Wikidata, is there a series of warnings that a user should be given before they can be blocked for vandalism? At what point can they be reported to [[Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard]]? [[User:Kk.urban|Kk.urban]] ([[User talk:Kk.urban|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

:See [[Wikidata:Vandalism]]. TL;DR: If it’s just some childish one-off nonsense edit, just undo (or rollback, [[Wikidata:Rollbackers|in case you have this right]]) and don’t waste any more time and energy. If it’s more, feel free to report to [[WD:AN]]. --[[User:Emu|Emu]] ([[User talk:Emu|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 23:24, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

== Misidentification of individual (one individual is actually at least two) ==

For https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6262795, this is actually at least two individuals. The Canadian photographer John Wallace Jones who is linked to his copyrighted photos in Wikimedia Commons was born around 1854 in Ireland. He started out as a photographer in Manitoba, Canada, then spent the rest of his working career as a photographer in Victoria and Esquimalt, British Columbia, Canada. He died in Victoria on 7 Mar 1938. For some details about his career see David Mattison's "Camera Workers" website entry: https://www.cameraworkers.davidmattison.com/getperson.php?personID=I162

The American politician and judge are someone else (or two) entirely.

== Way to store inter-station distance, for subway and railway ==

I am seeking the right qualifier Property used under {{P|197}}.

Example: {{Stmt|Q847791|P197|Q5089563}}, the distance is 0.909km, stated in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_2_(Beijing_Subway) [[User:JuguangXiao|JuguangXiao]] ([[User talk:JuguangXiao|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 01:08, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

:Ni hao! There is a related discussion here: [[Property_talk:P197#Distance_between_stations]]. I don't like using "length" as it is ambiguous. Does it mean line-of-sight distance or track length? We don't need to store line-of-sight distance as we can simply calculate the distance based on the coordinates for the two stations. But maybe we need a new property for "length of roadway, railtrack and similar"? [[User:Infrastruktur|Infrastruktur]] ([[User talk:Infrastruktur|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:47, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

== Wikidata Leveling Up Days, video contents and live event starting on April 5th ==

[[File:Wikidata Leveling Up Days 2024 banner.png|300px|right]]

Hello all,

As a reminder, the Wikidata Leveling Up Days are coming up this month!

We prepared for you '''14 short videos to cover everything that you need to know to get involved with Wikidata'''. You can watch them at your own pace [[c:Category:Wikidata Leveling Up Days 2024 videos|on Wikimedia Commons]] or [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLduaHBu_3ejNsjilXbEdD2eQjUG2yAyTA on Youtube]. English captions are available, and you can contribute to translate these captions on Commons.

You can also join us for the '''live online event''' taking place during the upcoming week-ends, on '''April 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14'''. On each day, you will be able to explore a specific topic, watch or re-watch the videos together, ask questions to the speakers, or attend additional workshops. We will also have sessions dedicated to asking questions (Wikidata Clinic) and to edit Wikidata together (open live editing). You will find the '''[[Wikidata:Events/Leveling Up Days 2024|schedule and all the details on the main event page]]'''.

For event-related announcements, discussions and questions, we will use the [https://t.me/wikidatachat Wikidata Help Telegram channel] - feel free to join it ahead of the event, and if you’re an experienced editor, you can join it as well to help answer newcomers' questions.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the Wikidata Leveling Up Days! [[User:Lea Lacroix (WMDE)|Lea Lacroix (WMDE)]] ([[User talk:Lea Lacroix (WMDE)|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 07:35, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

* Only [https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1713735900 13 more days to go]! The deadline to submit your project proposal to Wikimedia Deutschland's [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Software_Collaboration_for_Wikidata/Open_Call Open Call for Software Contributions] is coming closer and closer. With this call, Wikimedia Deutschland aims to support projects that make Wikidata's data more accessible and usable for a wider audience.

== April 2024 Wikidata content pie chart ==

[[File:Wikidata content 2024.svg|thumb|right|400px|April 2024 Wikidata statistics]]

We have an updated pie 🥧 chart for [[Wikidata:Statistics]]! Wow the [[Wikidata:WikiCite]] slice sure is large and tasty. 

BTW - there is not particular news published for sharing but developers at the Wikimedia Foundation and WikiCite contributors are discussing a split of the Wikidata Query Service Graph. See [[Wikidata_talk:WikiCite#WikiCite_in_continued_limbo]] for background, and post to [[Wikidata_talk:WikiCite#Wikidata_Query_Service_graph_split_for_WikiCite|the WikiCite talk page]] if you want to join discussions and get updates.

== Adding item for a book that is self-published and has ISBN ==

About adding Wikidata item for a book that is self-published and has ISBN: is this allowed? I seem to recall Wikisource does not allow self-published works; does Wikidata allow them? If there were no requirement of ISBN, I can see problems (too many Internet pages could lay claim to be self-published works worthy of a Wikidata item), but the item I am considering to add does have an ISBN. (I am not the self-publisher.) [[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 08:53, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

:It is unlikely for a self-published book to be notable. But most books with a proper publisher are probably ok assuming you add a couple decent references (identifiers count here). ISBN doesn't establish notability by itself. You can find the policy [[WD:N|here]].

:There are some exceptions of course. Andy Weir's “The Martian” is self-published for instance. This was used as a basis for a major movie.

:You gave me a good idea by the way. I think I'm going to add a "complex constraint" to check for known self-publishing houses. [[User:Infrastruktur|Infrastruktur]] ([[User talk:Infrastruktur|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 13:32, 6 April 2024 (UTC)
::Of course WD has the distinction between the creative work and the published physical book. As more authors start with self-publishing and if successful either stick with the model or get picked up by others, I think its likely we will have notable works with both self-published and publishing house editions, with different ISBNs. And I'd be wary of making judgement calls as to which commercial organisations are 'proper' publishers or are merely assisting with the self-publishing revolution. A work that features in its genre websites, like {{Q|2629164}} seems a good candidate irrespective of publishing method. [[User:Vicarage|Vicarage]] ([[User talk:Vicarage|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 22:45, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

: English Wikisource will allow certain kinds of self-published works, provided they meet stringent criteria, and some self-published works have historical, scientific, or cultural notability.

: But when you say "book", I assume you mean a specific edition of that work, since there is an ISBN? --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 01:27, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
:: I mean {{ISBN|0954029100}}, found in Google Books and Amazon. I have only a tentative grasp of the "book" vs. "edition" distinction; my guess--but only a guess--is that I mean an edition.
:: [[Wikidata:Notability]] item 2--the one that could theoretically apply--is too generic/vague for me to understand. Thank you all for answers so far. --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:21, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

== Move request ==

Hello everyone,
how do I create a request to rename/move a lexeme? Due to the renaming of a company, I would like to request that {{Q|3391735}} be renamed to "OPmobility". See the French WP for sources.
Thanks for your answers. --[[User:Thingol|Thingol]] ([[User talk:Thingol|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 22:13, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
:That is an item rather than a lexeme. A move isn't necessary. You just add a new alias with the alternative name. If other editors don't object, you can swap the alias with the main label, but you must keep both. [[User:From Hill To Shore|From Hill To Shore]] ([[User talk:From Hill To Shore|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 23:05, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

== questions go here? ==

Is this the right place to ask questions? My apologies if not. I would like to ask these questions about best practices and community etiquette:

This newly created record - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q125408315 - has at least two problems: the pseudonym and the name. Because the name is wrong, I'm inclined to make a duplicate entry for the person and merge them. Would it be better to attempt to ''move'' Q125408315 so I can correct the name?

The pseudonym is incorrect; he did not use that pseudonym. But I know where the misinformation came from; the contributor mistook a generic ironic phrase and applied it specifically. Should I simply delete the bad data? Delete it and leave a note on the discussion for the entity? Delete it and leave a note for the individual contributor of that info? What is the proper way to correct the data? [[User:Jerimee|Jerimee]] ([[User talk:Jerimee|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:16, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
:Yes, this is the right place to ask questions. To make an internal link to an item, you can write it like <nowiki>{{Q|125408315}}</nowiki> which produces {{Q|125408315}}. Next, there is no point creating a new entry and then merging it; you may as well edit the existing item. The pseudonym is supported by a reference that seems to be guessing the pseudonym; I'd deprecate the statement (see [[Help:Deprecation]]). What change are you wanting to make to the name? [[User:From Hill To Shore|From Hill To Shore]] ([[User talk:From Hill To Shore|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
::Thanks so much! That reference is a single line of text on a blog that reads "nothing is known about him, he might have well as signed his name blotch." It is an easy enough mistake to make; it is like saying "he might as well have signed his name X" or "he might as well have signed his name John Doe."
::His name is Henry, not Henri, despite his being French. Source 1: https://www.leonore.archives-nationales.culture.gouv.fr/ui/notice/147360 Source 2: https://archives.var.fr/ark:/73531/s00512dd01ec64bd/512dd01f10e92 Alt Img for Source 1: https://www.wikitree.com/photo/png/Fournier-3954-1 So {{Q|125408315}} needs to be moved to label "Henry Fournier."
::The pseudonym issue is separate from the label issue. And thanks for letting me know it is better to simply move, than to create new and then merge. [[User:Jerimee|Jerimee]] ([[User talk:Jerimee|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:08, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
:::I got confused, and thought for some reason labels could not be edited without doing a move. My apologies. I think I have my answers now. :) [[User:Jerimee|Jerimee]] ([[User talk:Jerimee|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:17, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

== main_subject/major_subject versus secondary_subject/minor_subject in Wikidata entries ==

How can we provide secondary_subject search terms in a Wikidata entry for an obituary? I may be looking through Wikidata for an obituary of someone associated with a particular Olympics or associated with a particular company, but it appears main_subject can only be used for the name of the deceased person. Is there any way to include search terms other than the deceased person's name? For instance at Commons in structured_data you include all search terms and mark the deceased person's name as "prominent" and leave the other search terms unmarked. How would we do this here at Wikidata? Can I include all useful search terms and mark the deceased person's name with "preferred rank" and leave the other search terms as "normal rank"? I can understand not including every name in the index at an entry for a book, but an obituary may only have 5 or 6 secondary_subject search terms. What is the best way to include useful search terms without violating the rigid definition of main_subject?

:I don't believe {{P|921}} has a rigid definition at all - see for example the (long) discussion on [[Wikidata:Property proposal/subject facet]].

* The change was made at this entry: {{Q|Q105337575}} to remove all the search terms but the name of the decedent. I am not against making the decedent's name  "preferred rank".

The text is in Swedish so having the links to Wikidata entries for the people/places/things mentioned are very useful.

== Add corresponding {{P|P180}} statements if {{P|P1257}} is present ==

There is a rather big number of {{P|P1257}} statements (~47k) on items with no {{P|P180}} statement, cf.:

{{SPARQL
| query = SELECT ?obj ?objLabel ?IC ?motiv ?motivLabel Where {
  ?obj wdt:P1257 ?IC .
  MINUS { ?obj wdt:P180 ?x . }
  ?motiv wdt:P1256 ?IC .
  SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "[AUTO_LANGUAGE],en".}
}
}}

I think it might be useful to additionally convert the depicts-statement that is implicit in {{P|P1257}} into an explicit {{P|P180}} which is definitely easier to work with. Do you see any problems here?

:I probably added the majority of these two years ago based on the iconclass data I got. I did look at adding more {{P|180}}, but didn't do it at a large scale. I would probably do it semi-automatic. Some things to be aware of:
:* Quite a few iconclass topics don't match with items here. Too specific or just a bit different
:* Some iconclass topics are better as {{P|921}} (or {{P|136}}) than {{P|180}}
:* In some cases you can only add a couple of depicts, but not all. If you do that, you'll remove the item from the list and no easy way to come back to it
:* If you're doing this, would probably be useful to add something like {{P|P3452}} to keep track of it. This might also a way to solve the previous point. So if you can make a query of items that don't have {{P|180}} or only have {{P|P180}} {{P|P3452}} iconclass, than you can just work your way don't the topics

== Portuguese vs. Brazilian Portuguese vs. (non-existent) European Portuguese ==

Hello,

For a long time, I have had doubts about the use of {{code|label}} in the Portuguese language. We are well aware that there are considerable differences between the Portuguese spoken on both sides of the Atlantic; Brazilian Portuguese is somewhat different from European Portuguese, especially concerning the spelling of words, as well as vocabulary to refer to certain concepts. I notice that alongside the language {{code|Portuguese}}, there is {{code|Brazilian Portuguese}}, but there is not {{code|European Portuguese}}. That being said, my main question is which variant should be given priority in labeling the language {{code|Portuguese}} in Wikidata items. Should it be the Portuguese spoken by 200 million people, or the one spoken by the rest of the Lusophone world, which does not even reach half of its total? The same happens with {{code|description}}. Should priority be given to the first term used?  ''Portuguese'' is a term that generically refers to various variants of the same language, whether it is the Portuguese of 19th-century Brazilian writer Machado de Assis, the Portuguese of 16th-century poet Luís de Camões, the Portuguese spoken by millions of Brazilians today, or the Portuguese of 13th-century troubadours. Pinging {{u|Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton}} in case he has something to add.

:I don’t speak Portuguese, but if the only distinction provided by Wikidata is “Portuguese” vs. “Brazilian Portuguese” and there is no “Standard” Portuguese, I feel inclined to understand “Portuguese” as “European Portuguese” (i.e. the language spoken in Portugal). Whether consistent usage following this distinction can be achieved is another issue though… --[[User:Data Consolidation Officer|Data Consolidation Officer]] ([[User talk:Data Consolidation Officer|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:52, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

{{Q|Q17101800}} is getting some vandalism (being labelled a 'scam professional'). Can an admin protect the page? [[User:Malcolmxl5|Malcolmxl5]] ([[User talk:Malcolmxl5|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:19, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

:Please see the text box at the top of the page. Requests for page protection should be made at [[Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard]]. Are there more than just the two new accounts that have vandalised the page today? If not, it may be better to just report the two accounts for vandalism and request protection only if further vandalism occurs.

== Lexeme reference failure ==

Have been trying to add this reference URL as a source/reference for ages but it fails every time:
https://www.greek-language.gr/greekLang/modern_greek/tools/lexica/triantafyllides/search.html?page=1&lq=γουδί

I am using {{L:L944697}} as a template for my contribution to {{L:L1319516}} which I recently created.

On {{L:L944697}} the reference URL is https://www.greek-language.gr/greekLang/modern_greek/tools/lexica/triantafyllides/search.html?page=1&lq=τραγούδι but I can't add the url for https://www.greek-language.gr/greekLang/modern_greek/tools/lexica/triantafyllides/search.html?page=1&lq=γουδί, fails every time.

Do I need to be more trusted in Wikidata for me to add references or is the problem that its in Greek? I also tried adding the URL https://www.greek-language.gr/greekLang/modern_greek/tools/lexica/triantafyllides/search.html?lq=%CE%B3%CE%BF%CF%85%CE%B4%CE%AF and it also failed(no Greek characters visible)

Also why isn't <nowiki>{{L:944697}}</nowiki> not working? It does for Q items, so if anyone got the time to fix it, please help. [[User:TooFewUsernames|TooFewUsernames]] ([[User talk:TooFewUsernames|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 09:57, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:TooFewUsernames|TooFewUsernames]]: I had no problem adding the reference. I cannot find any evidence why it should have worked for you (e.g., spam blacklist).

== 🚀 Join the Wikidata Open Online Course - Class Starts April 22, 2024! ==

Hello everyone,

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Wikidata Open Online Course - a fantastic opportunity for anyone eager to explore the world of Wikidata and enhance their editing skills.

;🌟 About the Course
The Wikidata Open Online Course is designed to simplify learning how to edit Wikidata through a structured online program in English. Originally developed in French by Wikimedia France, the course content has been updated and translated into English. Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps, an individual in need of a refresher on Wikidata concepts, or a seasoned trainer looking to level up your skills - this course is right for you. Participants will gain insights into how Wikidata works, its rules, its vibrant community, and how to contribute effectively.

;📚 Course Structure
* Chapter 1: The Wikimedia movement and creation of Wikidata
* Chapter 2: Understanding Knowledge graphs and Queries
* Chapter 3: Discovering Wikidata, open data, and the semantic web
* Chapter 4: Contributing to Wikidata, the Community, and Data Quality
* Chapter 5: Bonus Resources on Scientific Bibliography from Wikidata

;⏰ Course Schedule
This program will be offered in iterations, the first of which will start on April 22 and last for 5 weeks. Be sure to register before that. Subsequent iterations will be scheduled later, so don't worry if you're not able to take this one. Make sure to watch the landing page, and we will announce them on our usual communication channels as well.

Don't miss out on this opportunity. We encourage you to spread the word and invite your friends and colleagues to join us on this learning adventure.

:From what I can find on Wikipedia for humans embryo refers to the stage before fetus. As long as "unborn child" and "human" are strictly superclasses I think we can avoid any controversy and still fix the classification. So "unborn child" should not be a subclass of "human fetus" or "human embryo" and I think you're good. The levels will then look like: 1. Human, unborn child 2. human embryo, human fetus.

== New update about splitting the Wikidata Query Service graph is out ==

There is [[Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS backend update/April 2024 scaling update|a new update]] relative to the experiment with [[Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split|splitting the Wikidata Query Service graph]].

For those who don't know about this, the Search team is currently running an experiment to split the Wikidata Query Service graph and use federation for the queries that need access to all subgraphs. This is a breaking change, which will require a number of queries to be rewritten, either to access a new SPARQL endpoint, or to use federation. We want to have a good understanding of the trade-offs before we commit to any long-term solution.

A [[Wikidata:SPARQL query service/WDQS graph split/WDQS Split Refinement|new proposal for the split]] has also been published, everyone is encouraged to read it. We are '''open for feedback until May 15th 2024'''.

== Problems with naive user merges with Distributed game: duplicate authors ==

I just spent several hours going through and fixing [[Special:Contributions/Tiisu Sharif|this new user's edits]] which were almost all merges of human items based on Magnus Manske's "The Distributed Game (88): Duplicate authors #distributed-game". Of the 59 merges done, I assessed 26 as wrong or unjustified - 44%. Many of them were merging people with wildly different names (the tool seems to only check last name and at least one matching initial?). I know there's some underlying logic regarding common co-authors, but whatever it's doing something there is broken. Can the tool be limited to only at least auto-confirmed users who have done something else in Wikidata first? Does anybody have another suggestion here? It's certainly a useful tool, and a (slight) majority of the edits here were good, but it's an awful lot of work to fix bad merges - and that would have been worse if I had waited until the bot redirected all the associated articles to the new items. [[User:ArthurPSmith|ArthurPSmith]] ([[User talk:ArthurPSmith|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:22, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

:I'm troubled by experienced editors have to spend hours on a cleanup that should have been unnecessary. The game has a tiny notice that's barely noticeable: "Please make sure that the items are really about the same entity!". Gamifying merging is giving people the impression that this is something they can take lightly (!). In my opinion it's not enough to limit this game to people who are autoconfirmed. The message should be visually more noticeable and read something like "It is important to make sure the two items really are the same before merging, so please click on each of the links to examine their contents before merging." Along with a "Please confirm you've read this and understood" labelled checkbox, that saves the confirmation to the user's settings. This way it's harder to claim ignorance. [[User:Infrastruktur|Infrastruktur]] ([[User talk:Infrastruktur|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 12:29, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
:: Thanks for the suggestions. {{ping|Magnus Manske}} Can the labeling be at least changed? Or maybe the underlying logic needs a look? It shouldn't be merging "Yonghoon Choi" with "Yunsoo Choi", or "Chang-Bao Li" with "Chuanyou Li" for example. Also I have a concern that one bad merge will lead to others - if two people were not actually coauthors of the same person, but a bad merge makes them seem like they are, this can have cascading effects.

:::I have also had to spend a fair bit of time recently checking and unmerging edits made via this game and I echo the points raised above. For me, it shouldn't be possible to merge items with different {{P|496}} claims and a constraint to prevent the merger of such items would avoid most of the issues I have encountered. Having looked at the tool, I am suprised how little guidance is given about how to identify items that can safely be merged. There really must be a warning that the information provided in the tool is insufficient to make an informed decision about whether two item represent the same entity. Have to admit I'm not a fan of gamification but this trivialises something that is actually quite complicated, hence the amount of time required to fix the incorrect merges.

: {{ping|Sic19|Magnus Manske}} A followup - I've been tracking these edits recently and they seem much improved, though there are still several problem cases. One frequent problem now is caused by a Wikidata entry based on an ORCID id where the name does not match the ORCID - rather somehow the name is that of a different author on some co-written articles. I'm guessing there are some data flow issues between ORCID and publishers and Crossref and whatever data source was used for wikidata imports (usually Europe PubMedCentral?). Can some sort of look-up be done on the ORCID id's before merging to confirm the names actually match? Not sure what best steps here are. There are definitely a lot of duplicate ORCID cases too and it would be a shame not to put together those duplicates on our end. Another common case I'm running into is where two people have the same name, and one of their ORCID records includes papers from the other person, usually because the paper list was supplied by some institutional search rather than the person themselves. Hard to fix issues where ORCID records themselves are incorrect. [[User:ArthurPSmith|ArthurPSmith]] ([[User talk:ArthurPSmith|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 17:08, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
::The mismatching names in ORCID and Wikidata is quite a subtle problem. From the examples I've seen, the problem is usually caused by an ORCID being associated with the wrong co-author on the version of record and then being replicated in Crossref. To identify errors, I've compared the names in the ORCID dump and Wikidata labels. There are ~3500 items that are very likely to represent a different entity to that of the attached ORCID and a further 800 merged items with 2 or more ORCIDs that are now conflating different identities from ORCID. I'm not sure what to do now as the relationship between these items and any authored papers is messy. Do you have any thoughts about how to fix these items without ending up with papers with incorrect authors? [[User:Sic19|Simon Cobb]] ([[User:Sic19|User:Sic19]] ; [[User_talk:Sic19|talk page]]) 21:06, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
:::{{ping|Sic19}} Ooh hey that's great that you've already done this! Here's how I've been fixing these so far, but it's labor-intensive:
:::1. Fix the label(s):
:::* If there's not much metadata (ie. no sitelinks, maybe just P31 and P106 main statements) and only the ORCID id, change the English label to match the ORCID label and remove other labels. This is only appropriate if the ORCID label is in Latin text of course.
:::* Otherwise deprecate the ORCID id on the item with a reason for deprecation that it's about a different subject.
:::2. Go to "What Links Here" and see what articles are linked (should be P50 relations).
:::* If it's a relatively small number (up to 5) go through them by hand and check the name on the original article against what Wikidata has, and correct the entries by hand if necessary (adjust series ordinal and/or object named as values, or remove the {{P|50}} relation completely and replace with a {{P|2093}} instead.
:::* For larger numbers I bring up the author disambiguator author page and look for any patterns I can to mass-fix the entries. For example if there are a clear group of papers with a different {{P|1932}} qualifier from the actual name, those can be filtered and mass reverted in the tool. Unfortunately a lot of these cases are missing {{P|1932}} qualifiers, which makes this harder.

== Can't edit Wikidata ==

Hello! I'm a project manager for the Albanian Wikipedia and we were trying to do an activity dedicated to Wikidata today but we quickly noticed that very few of the involved members had the "Edit" button.

== merge of Cyanobacteria (Q93315)/Cyanobacteriota (Q25577567) ==

Hello,

These two pages should be merged, ''Cyanobacteriota'' being only a recent change (last year) for the former phylum name ''Cyanobacteria''. The two names are, for all practical purposes, synonymous. Since the change is recent ("Cyanobacteria" remaining far more common), only two Wikipedias ([https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cyanobacteria&redirect=no French] and [https://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cyanobacteria&redirect=no Spanish]) have renamed their page to ''Cyanobacteriota''. This is quite inconvenient since only their redirect is now linked to the other language wikis concerning cyanobacterias (about 80 languages), but their main page is not anymore.

What is the best way to deal with this?

== On Vandalism Tracking ==

Since around the turn of the year, I have been working on a tool to efficiently track bad edits on Wikidata. The effort was motivated by my observations regarding patrolling work on Wikidata:

* [[Special:RecentChanges]] lists too many changes. Even if you narrow it to unpatrolled changes and filter out other generally low-risk changes, you are left with a haystack that is replaced by another one in about two hours. Except for obvious cases, fast reviewing is impossible since you need to gather some context first.
* [[Special:AbuseFilter]] works well for isolated cases/patterns or can help add tags to recent changes. But it is not scalable to all properties/languages/etc. and has access only to limited context.
* [[Help:Property constraints portal|Property constraints]] are a very well maintained, integrated and understood system. Every property has some constraints, and violation of a constraint means something is wrong or someone is doing something wrong. But [[Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations|reports of violations]] are scattered over [[:Category:Constraint violation reports|thousands of pages]] with no indication of recency and no available integration with RecentChanges and AbuseFilter.
* More ideas: [https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Counter-Vandalism#c-Mat%C4%9Bj_Such%C3%A1nek-20240224205800-Constraints_toolbox_and_other_stuff][https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive/2023/12#c-Mat%C4%9Bj_Such%C3%A1nek-20240107195900-MisterSynergy-20231230234600].
* See also [[Wikidata:Project chat/Archive/2024/02#An unexpected effect of Covid-19 on the Wikidata project?]]

I took the best of each and started compiling weekly reports of changes during a time window that introduced some constraint violations. It involved creating a [https://github.com/matejsuchanek/wikidata-constraints Python library] with algorithms for some (not all) constraint types and some custom ones.

The reports are available here: '''[[Special:PrefixIndex/User:MatSuBot/Reports/Vandalism]]'''. The most recent reports should be the most accurate since patrolling status is available for them. (Reports older than a month cannot use patrolling status, some entries could have been solved in the meantime.)

This is just a single step for better counter-vandalism on Wikidata, it cannot replace the inefficient patrolling process yet. The reports are not real-time, they cover cases of more-or-less obvious vandalism, and deal only with changes to claims (i.e., not labels and descriptions). More effort would be needed to establish an automated (maybe AI-powered) system for countering vandalism.

I'm curious if others find such reports useful or if there is a way to make them (more) useful. (Daily reports instead of weekly? Cover more types of violations? Missed cases of vandalism?)

:this is really cool work. you might want to reach out to the people in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T341820 where they are working on a new anti-vandalism model for wikidata. incorporating your library into their workflow seems like it'd be useful. the newest model is much better than ORES.
:Did you consider incorporating ORES into your reports? In theory it should be ok at predicting vandalism.
:I think enwiki has bots monitor vandalism rates and report that in a template (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Vandalism_information). not sure if it's really useful though. [[User:BrokenSegue|BrokenSegue]] ([[User talk:BrokenSegue|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:55, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
::I am aware of that initiative (I recall providing a handful of labels) as well as the [[mw:Automoderator|Automoderator]] (which I believe is more focused on Wikipedia, though).
::However, I don't think it's necessary (and a good idea) to insist on incorporating right now. I can see there is already some progress that I don't want to steer down. Also, my library reflects a community-maintained system, i.e., something that can change any time. If they had the model trained w.r.t. some snapshot of constraints, but we had it changed later, it could lose its precision (i.e., instead of <math>P(y|x,\theta)</math>, they'd need something like <math>P(y|x,\theta(t))</math>, which is definitely harder to model).
::I think we can just keep them separate, and benefit from advantages of each.
::{{tq|Did you consider incorporating ORES into your reports?}} I'm not sure what you mean. Like indicating its score in the reports in a separate column? The problem with ORES is it evaluates each revision independently, not as a sequence (like I do).
::{{tq|enwiki has bots monitor vandalism rates}} Looks like that is based on the amount of recent reverts (real-time). However, I am dealing rather with backlog.
::Idea: Instead of (or as another alternative to) a complex ORES model that tries to handle everything, have a very simple one using limited context (type of change, language changed, property involved, etc.) such that it allows to simply filter for changes that have ''somewhat higher'' probability of being reverted (IP changes to {{P|31}}, {{P|21}}, {{P|742}}, English description, etc.). The goal is to allow synchronous patrolling using RecentChanges filters, while leaving the rest to report-based backlog. IMO, just using the "reverted" tag (<code>mw-reverted</code>) for training should be sufficient. (But see also [[phab:T357163]].)
::Another idea: see [[phab:T358729]], but ignore the AbuseFilter part. (I really need to save my ideas somewhere.)

== How to search many encyclopedias ==

My website {{Q|933290}} contains several old digitized encyclopedias and other reference works in various Scandinavian languages. I have no good way to search their contents, other than free text search. In order to link what two encyclopedias say about a topic, such as Copenhagen or gravity, it would be natural to use Wikidata. For example, Wikidata already knows that {{Q|1748}} is {{P|1343}} {{Q|80437693}} with [https://runeberg.org/trap/3-1/0213.html this URL]. I could add such links in thousands. But then, how can this be presented as a nice search function? If {{Q|11412}} is "described by source" in dozens (though currently only five + nine that I added now), how can a user find out which ones are relevant? Each source has a year of publication and language. Maybe one user only wants 20th century sources in German, rather than 19th century sources in Danish. Should a map and timeline be part of the search interface?

Should we make a test case, with a few topics that we try to link to as many sources as possible? Or has something similar been done already? Is there already a set of basic topics that can be used for testing and demonstration purposes? [[User:LA2|LA2]] ([[User talk:LA2|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:06, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

:I don't think Wikidata is a good place to store information of all information in all encyclopedias. I think {{P|1343}} is best used to add those sources that are the most relevant and not hundreds of sources.

::That's a good point. But now that I added 9 to the existing 5 such links for Gravity, which ones would you remove as being less relevant?

== Unmerge ==

::@[[User:ChristianKl|ChristianKl]] I think, but this might indeed not be a very popular take, that in a query that a naive query that search for "bridges" (say, using "wdt:" in sparql) should only find actual bridges. There is no harm into it being more complicated if you look for historical data or bridges as a certain date. You'd have to write such a query anyway.
::One way to achieve this is to set a "preferred value" to something else in {{instance of}} value. Viewed like that as a general rule, it does not make querying harder at all, just the opposite.
::By not using that if you look for, say, french communes or department, you get historical data and you most likely do not want them and you have to after that do something more complicated to exclude the old one. <span style="border: 1px #C9C9C9;"><span style="background-color:#E8E8E8;padding:3px;">author&nbsp;</span><span style="background-color:#FFFFFF;">&nbsp;[[User:TomT0m|TomT0m]] / </span>talk [[User talk:TomT0m|page]]</span> 18:19, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

== Sitelink for [[:voy:zh:白河]] ==

Hi, this Chinese Wikivoyage page is a disambiguation page, and we have {{Q|9164254}} and {{Q|255636}}, both are {{Q|4167410}} item but with different label. [[Q9164254]] is for Chinese Mandarin pronunciation and [[Q255636]] should be Japanese pronunciation. But for [[:w:zh:白河]] and [[:voy:zh:白河]], they are mixture of {{Q|9164254}} and {{Q|255636}} (and maybe {{Q|348739}}), will create a new item for zhwiki and zhwikivoyage one be good idea?--[[User:S8321414|S8321414]] ([[User talk:S8321414|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 07:01, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
== QuickStatements ==

I'm trying to figure out how to use QuickStatements to replace a value, and having a lot of trouble. For a trial run, I'm trying to replace an inaccurate coordinate value at [[Q21942340]]. Here's my input:

-Q21942340|P625|30°9'55"S, 153°14'5"E|S248|Geographic Names Server|S577|11 June 2018|S2326|11382401

All I get is error messages which don't even say what the problem is. I tried putting all strings in quotes, but that didn't help. Please, what is wrong with my input? [[User:Cremastra|Cremastra]] ([[User talk:Cremastra|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

:QuickStatements is very particular about how its input is formatted, read more about it in [[Help:QuickStatements|its manual]] (example: Q3669835 TAB P625 TAB @43.26193/10.92708). Interestingly for coordinates it will only do exact matching, even if anything that rounds to the same number with four decimal places should be considered good enough for a match assuming the precision is 4 decimal places or better [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Precision_of_coordinates]. It might be simpler to ask it to remove the statement by giving it the statement ID instead.

So is this property about RAM capacity or storage capacity? It's not exactly being clear [[User:Trade|Trade]] ([[User talk:Trade|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:42, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

:If you read the property proposal it's supposed to be a qualifier that's used with {{P|527}}. It seems like some users have used it for different purposes which leads to bad data because sometimes people might mean RAM and otherwise storage. One solution would be to disallow the usage as main value and delete the uses that don't follow the data model that the property proposal suggests.

== Harvesting coordinates ==

Is there a tool that could collect coordinates from wikiarticles coordinates templates or infobox into {{P|P625}} wikidata ? <span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 8px;background:#303030">[[User:Bouzinac|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Bouzinac'''</span>]]</span> <sup>[[User talk:Bouzinac|💬]]●[[Special:Contributions/Bouzinac|✒️]]●[[User:Bouzinac/UB|💛]]</sup> 19:49, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
:I'm not sure about tools, but far too often we have to revert overeager editors who import co-ordinates for {{Q|5}} items when they should be instead imported to the connected item at {{P|119}}. You will need to cleanse any gathered data to filter out co-ordinates that should be used on the connected location rather than directly imported to the Wikidata item related to the article. Any tool that makes the import directly must be used with caution.

::It was about railways stations, I believe the coordinates in the article would be the very coordinates of the station. But yes, massive import is cautionable for some other data, such as closures dates (it could have been a simple close date for works and then reopening for instance).

I have a question to you about images. As i understand, when i create a new image property for an entry, and assign a Wikipedia Commons image to it, the picture is supposed to appear, like it does on this page:

== edit limit ==

Hello,
I use several semi-automatic tools for editing and I regularly run into the edits per second limit. Are my only two solutions are to request administrator or bot status? For the first, I doubt that it would be granted to me for this request alone (there would also be the one for IP blocking exemption and flood flag, but I already have that). For the second, I don't want to create a new account to contribute. [[User:Simon Villeneuve|Simon Villeneuve]] ([[User talk:Simon Villeneuve|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 13:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

::No, neither of those are your options. The limit is there for a reason.
::Administrators are in fact not rate limited since some admin functions would not work properly otherwise, but they should not run large automated batches beyond 90 edits per minute using the admin account (a rather informal agreement). Bots and non-admin users are limited to 90 edits per minute in order to avoid capacity issues. —[[User:MisterSynergy|MisterSynergy]] ([[User talk:MisterSynergy|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 17:35, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
: {{ping|Simon Villeneuve}} Some edit tools are a bit inefficient - for example QuickStatements can use more edits than necessary to make changes. So if you are doing that many edits you may want to create a custom tool that does a better job of consolidating several edits on an item into one, if that's an issue.

:: Nice one. I've noticed Wikibase-CLI tends to be overall faster on edits in general (noticeably so) even though I don't think it attempts to smoosh together edits either. Wikibase-CLI will allow you to create entire items in one go however which is a huge win if you do new item creations. It also pairs nicely with the jq tool for many tasks.

== Birth after father's death ==

We need to change the calculation so that we do not get the error message unless the difference between death and birth is more than 9 months, perhaps 10. See {{Q|Q75268023}} [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 11:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

:People have used "exception to constraint" to get rid of these messages, but this doesn't scale. The next step people tend to use is adding "separator" but "object has role" is too ambiguous for this purpose, we would need a qualifier that is more or less single-purpose. Got any ideas? Make a new one maybe? [[User:Infrastruktur|Infrastruktur]] ([[User talk:Infrastruktur|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:52, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
* I created {{Q|Q105083598}}, I add it to object_has_role is there a better placement for it so it can be used to get rid of the error message in the constraints? --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:19, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
::Just noticed "separator" only works for the single value constraint. :-( But it does seem like a good way to mark claims that are manually checked. {{Ping|Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)}} Something similar for contemporary constraint might be a good idea. At least it's a solution that doesn't have complexity issues. [[User:Infrastruktur|Infrastruktur]] ([[User talk:Infrastruktur|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:58, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
:::@[[User:Infrastruktur|Infrastruktur]]: I don’t understand what you’re trying to do. What does this have to do with a “separator”? What are the date of birth / date being separated from? [[User:Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)|Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)]] ([[User talk:Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 10:18, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
::::Forget about "separator" that was my mistake. I was interested in hearing if you thought it would be feasible to add a way to manually mark claims such as {{P|40}} with a qualifier basically telling the constraint checker that this claim have been manually checked so don't show an error message here. Basically doing what "exception to constraint" does except the exception info is moved to the claims themselves so it should be more scalable I guess. [[User:Infrastruktur|Infrastruktur]] ([[User talk:Infrastruktur|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 16:24, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::I wouldn’t mind adding that, I think… should be relatively simple to implement in WBQC, at least. It’s not an ideal solution, but it’s not like we have any much better solutions lined up either (“constraint exceptions don’t scale” has been a known issue for a while, and the last proposal I dimly recall, which I think would’ve encoded exception lists as additional items, was probably worse). My main concern would be that people would object to these qualifiers, but maybe I’m being too paranoid there ^^ [[User:Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)|Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)]] ([[User talk:Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 09:35, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::I was thinking about how to encode the exception. If we use a single new qualifier "constraints manually checked" that would remove warnings for any and all constraints, which might be ok. Trying to encode information about individual exceptions in the predicate position strikes me as a bad idea, but they could be encoded in the object position if there was a URI prefix reserved for this purpose. The "wdno:" prefix encodes which property it pertains to, so likewise an "wdnoexception:" prefix could encode which property and exception it pertained to e.g. "?statement_node pq:P99999 ("constraint manually checked") wdnoexception:P40-Q25796498". Edit: Or maybe something like "?statement_node wdnoexception:P40 ("constraint manually checked") wd:Q25796498" would be better after all? It would add new things to the data model so it's not something that can be rushed. Edit 2: Or since we know which property from the claim itself, we could do without any new URI prefix at all which is actually way better, e.g. "?statement_node pq:P99999 ("constraint manually checked") wd:Q25796498". [[User:Infrastruktur|Infrastruktur]] ([[User talk:Infrastruktur|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 13:56, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::I think any addition to the technical data model is a non-starter, to be honest – if we want this soon, we should just encode it using the normal data model and accept that it won’t be 100% precise. I was thinking we could reuse {{St||P2303|Q21503250}} as a qualifier, and when it appears outside of a {{P|P2302}} statement, reinterpret it as “ignore all constraints of this constraint type in this statement” (i.e. in the main snak, qualifiers and references). Or create a new property, of course. (In theory, we could use a URL-valued property, where the value is the URI of a property constraint like http://www.wikidata.org/entity/statement/P31-A89E967D-82B7-4081-BAE3-BADF28B4E7E3; this would let us distinguish between multiple constraints on the same property with the same constraint type, but it would look ugly in the UI and also be much harder to edit.)

::::::::I like your first suggestion. Would it be worth using {{P|2303}} only for the main-snak, and make a similar property that is transitive (applies to qualifiers and references as well)? [[User:Infrastruktur|Infrastruktur]] ([[User talk:Infrastruktur|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 21:06, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::We could also do that, sure. Would need a new property proposal, I guess ^^
:::::::::(Also, disclaimer: right now I’m not sure who’s “responsible” for pushing this proposal forward, if we want to go ahead with it; I’m not sure if I should be doing it as a staff account – I see myself more in the role of implementing it once it’s been decided. But I’m also not sure how much more consensus we need, or if we think it’s enough if nobody objected to reinterpreting P2302 here.)

::::::::::If you decide to move forward with this, ping me and I'll make the property proposal. On consensus: I suppose you could argue that this is not a new feature but a scalability improvement for an existing feature. Edit: The one thing I could see people possibly objecting to is visual clutter. But if that happens it could be solved by showing the qualifier visually by using an icon instead of writing out the statement in text.

* Perhaps we can do a search for all the children born within 10 months of the father's death and mark them all object_has_role={{Q|Q105083598}} and rewrite the rule for the error message so that it is not triggered when object_has_role={{Q|Q105083598}}. I am not familiar with how the error message rules are coded to make the changes myself. Do we have an error message when a child is born after the mother's death, which would indicate that the child belongs to a different spouse of the husband? --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:16, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

:@[[User:Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)|Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)]] how costly would it be to implement the solution that RAN proposed? [[User:ChristianKl|<span style="color:#0000EE;">'''ChristianKl'''</span>]] ❪[[User talk:ChristianKl|✉]]❫ 23:04, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
::I can’t really answer that question, as I don’t think it’s really an implementable proposal yet… the constraint is defined [[Property:P40#P40$fa47cafc-4663-10fb-b4bf-cff47fad0606|here]], and it’s not really clear to me how you would encode {{tq|1=not triggered when object_has_role={{Q|Q105083598}}}} in the constraint parameters.

:::@[[User:Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)|Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)]] We could have "expection to constraint given qualifier" and "expection to constraint given qualifier value" where in this example you would make do both "expection to constraint given qualifier ->object_has_role " and "expection to constraint given qualifier value -> {{Q|105083598}}". That would solve this problem and likely be also useable in other contexts.

== [[Wikidata:Forum#Berlin,_w:Kategorie:Berlin_und_:n:Kategorie:Berlin]] ==

Hello, regarding [[Wikidata:Forum#Berlin,_w:Kategorie:Berlin_und_:n:Kategorie:Berlin]]:

In [[:d:Q64]] or [[:d:Q1741]] for example, the sitelinks to Wikinews link to Categories on Wikinews, instead of the related category objects [[:d:Q4579913]] or [[:d:Q7214780]].

Why are the Wikinews-Category-Sitelinks not connected to the Wikidata-Category-Objects? Is there a documentation for Wikinews-Sitelinks?

:I am using an automatic translator in this discussion. I edit the Polish-language Wikinews. Recently there was a discussion (I couldn't find the link now) that most often Wikinews categories should not link to category-items. I am aiming for Wikinews-categories to be linked to topics on Wikidata.

== New Schema Validation Tool UI ==

Hello everyone,
As part of my thesis project I've made a new UI mode for the Schema Validator used by Wikidata. The new UI represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them. I just started hosting it yesterday on https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html. I'm also looking for people willing to participate in evaluating the user experience and the ease of use of this new UI in a roughly 1 hour interview sometime in may. For more information, check out my user page. If you want to registed for the evaluation interviews, you can do so at https://datumprikker.nl/event/index/fuwv62b5tatqq4vr.

== Wikidata disambiguation pages ==

We currently create Wikimedia disambiguation pages if a disambiguation page exists in Wikipedia. Do we ever create a Wikimedia disambiguation page at Wikidata ''even if none exists'' at Wikipedia? We  have more people needing diasambiguation at Wikidata since our inclusion criteria is more generous. See for example: {{Q|Q125707529}}. Is there anything that can be added to help someone looking for the correct one to easily see which one is the one they are looking for without clicking on each link or hovering the cursor?

:The description field can be used for disambiguation on Wikidata. I believe that disambiguation items on Wikidata should only exist if there is a corresponding disambiguation page on one of the other Mediawiki projects ([[Wikidata:WikiProject Disambiguation pages/guidelines|see guidelines]]).
