Lexeme

Du adderar många lexem(er). Ser du någon nytta av det? Är det någon som har glädje av det redan i dag, eller om ett år, eller när? Jag vet att detta är tänkt att användas för abstract Wikipedia, men det framstår för mig som en avlägsen utopi, och jag kan inte se när i tiden det skulle bli en nyttig verklighet.

Jag lägger också in lexem, men mest för att prova. Jag lägger till böjningsformer med text-to-lexeme, men ingen semantik. --LA2 (talk) 21:55, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@LA2: Selv om det skulle ta lang tid å kunne få det i brukbar stand for Abstract Wikipedia, så ser jeg for meg at mye av det som legges inn allerede nå kan være nyttig for Wiktionary. Det er kanskje ingen maler/moduler ennå på Wiktionary som bruker Wikidata-leksemer, men det bør egentlig være relativt trivielt å opprette en modul som henter f.eks. bøyningsformer og uttale fra Wikidata til Wiktionary. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 22:04, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ja, när det nu finns så många estniska böjningsformer här, borde de gå att presentera i sv.wiktionary. Vem kan skapa en modul för det? Jag har tagit upp frågan på wikt:sv:Wiktionary:Teknikvinden#Mall som hämtar från Wikidata. --LA2 (talk) 22:44, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lurt! Jeg kan ikke gjøre det, i hvert fall ikke med det første. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 23:00, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Menyknapp

God kveld! Jeg har installert disse to Redigerer Wikidata:Project chat – Wikidata. Er det noen måte å få en "knapp" på venstresiden av mitt skjermbilde, slik at den blr enklere å bruke. Hendigt verktøy om man bruker det med fornuft. Pmt (talk) 19:15, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pmt: Heiǃ Ja, det er en smal sak å legge til en knapp der. Det er imidlertid ett problem, og det er at jeg ikke kan se noen måte å «forhåndsutfylle» skjemaet med det Wikidata-elementet man allerede er på, så det vil uansett måtte bli til at man må kopiere og lime inn det. Jeg har bedt om at en slik funksjon legges til i verktøyet her. Om du vil ha ei lenke til verktøyet uansett så kan jeg godt fikse det? Jon Harald Søby (talk) 20:48, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hei! Ja gjerne en knapp. Er du btw obs på sorteringsfunksjonen for emner! Mvh Pmt (talk) 21:09, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pmt: Nei, hva er det? Jon Harald Søby (talk) 21:11, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Denne

Thank you! --YukaSylvie (diskusjon) 01:02, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[svar][reply]

Please don't rearrange statements like this. There is no point (order has no meaning in wikidata) and it crowds the page history. BrokenSegue (diskusjon) 01:40, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[svar][reply]

Request for open lock

Jon Harald Søby, can you open lock the Xigazê article for me to edit note it for Vietnamese version? Thanks!Oysterx (talk) 09:15, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New Item

Hi John Harald Søby, I created a new item Don't Live Here Anymore (2018 film) but I discovered the statements have exclamation marks. Is it an error I need to resolve? Olugold (talk) 09:38, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Olugold! I think the main reason is that the item is missing a instance of (P31) statement. I think it should just be instance of (P31)film (Q11424). (Also, the label should not have the "(2018 film)" part, that is only necessary on Wikipedia.) Jon Harald Søby (talk) 09:43, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your swift and detailed response. I'll resolve it immediately. Thank you. Olugold (talk) 09:50, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jon Harald Søby I have edited as you suggested and it worked, just that the screenwriter still has an exclamation mark. Thank you. Olugold (talk) 11:01, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you click it, it should give you an idea why it appears. In this case, it is because Noni Salma (Q107453082) doesn't have a occupation (P106) statement – it should probably be occupation (P106)screenwriter (Q28389) (but quite possibly more things as well? I don't know). Jon Harald Søby (talk) 11:05, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge

Hi Jon Harald Søby! I created an item [1] and discovered it has been created with an alternative name [2]. I edited and have been trying to merged but an error notice keeps popping up. Can you please assist me in this regard? Thanks. Olugold (talk) 09:19, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Olugold! I merged them, and it worked without error. Did you use the merge gadget to try to merge them, or some other method? (Would be nice to figure out what the error is in case it happens again.) Jon Harald Søby (talk) 12:24, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jon Harald Søby Thank you. I used the merged gadget, I also tried using the special:merge but it didn't work. This is some part of the error message I can remember ...description does not match Language en... Olugold (talk) 12:54, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Compact View conflicts with Classification gadget

Hello there!

Following the recent discussion on project chat I've now enabled your compact view gadget which is a refreshing change. While not (perhaps yet) available via Special:Gadgets, I've been a longer time user of User:TomT0m/classification.js which is a super useful way of catching and reporting data modelling issues. Unsure if it would be on your end or @TomT0m:'s, but it would be welcome to see them play nicely together.

Many thanks --SilentSpike (talk) 00:35, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SilentSpike: Thanks for the heads-up! I've posted a fix on MediaWiki talk:Gadget-compact items.css just now. Let me know if you see something else that doesn't look right! Jon Harald Søby (talk) 01:02, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing, thank you for such a quick turnaround on that! --SilentSpike (talk) 11:16, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bot without bot flag

Hi Jon,

I see that you are running a bot, but it doesn't use the bot flag. As you stated in the request for permission that your bot is based on mine, I think the issue comes from the fact that you don't use 'bot': '1' in the request (see bot.py) (I changed that in my bot after your fork).

Cheers, Envlh (talk) 11:05, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Envlh: Thanks for the heads-up (and thanks for the bot you created too, it made things much easier for me)! I completely forgot that you need to set the bot flag explicitly, I'm used to "the old way" where bot status = automatic bot flag, so it didn't cross my mind. Fixing now. :-) Jon Harald Søby (talk) 11:08, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidatas forhold til europeisk lovgivning og hensynet til enkeltpersoner

La til ektefelle på Q11980899 nylig og la merke til at det kan ha vært et ønske fra personen som går under navnet Nunne å disassosiere seg med vedkommende. Synes det er greit egentlig, men grunnen til at dette blir lagt til er at den tidligere ektemannen står oppført som hennes ektefelle. Slik jeg forstår det er ikke WMF forpliktet til å følge europeisk lovgivning på dette punktet, men "right to be forgotten" synes jeg er en grei tommelfinger-regel sålenge ikke vektige interesser taler for det motsatte.

For å forhindre at informasjonen blir lagt inn igjen vil det være nødvendig å fjerne koblingen fra ektemannen, siden dette er typisk noe som vil føre til at informasjonen vil bli lagt til igjen. Hvertfall så var dette grunnen til at infoen ble lagt til igjen. Og det vil sannsynligvis ikke være hensiktsmessig å åpne en sak på dette med begrunnelse i «Streisand-effekten» noe jeg antar vedkommende ikke ønsker. Infrastruktur (talk) 17:35, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Infrastruktur: Ja, stemmer at det var noe der. Tror det mest fornuftige er å fjerne koblinga fra mannen også – det er tross alt snakk om to (relativt) ukjente personer som begge tilfeldigvis har Wikidata-element, og verken ekteskapet eller skilsmissen er akkurat «førstesidestoff», så da syns jeg hensynet til personvern må veie tyngst. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 18:11, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Harriet as a male give name

Hello @Jon Harald Søby I noticed that you created Q30225612 "Harriet" as an instance of Q12308941 "male given name". It's also it's opposite: Q11879590, per Q5486209. I cannot find any records of male subjects with the given name Harriet. I'm well aware of course that there are names that are both male and female given names, but those are not usually two separate items. This causes me some issues with a set of queries that I'm using to "guess" the gender of the subject of an AfD on English Wikipedia. I was wondering if this is intentional, and if you can think of a way in which I can avoid having to deal with an item that is it's own opposite. Thanks, Vexations (talk) 20:17, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vexations. Looking at Special:Whatlinkshere/Q30225612, I'm fairly certain I created that item because of Harrier Heiberg Mejer (Q23905781), working my way through "nameless" Norwegians. I don't remember the exact reason, but I suspect I ended up creating a new male given name item because it felt weird marking the female Harriet as a unisex name because of a single Norwegian dude from the 1800s... Jon Harald Søby (talk) 20:34, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The things I stumble upon when I make simple, wrong, assumptions about complex problems never cease to confound me. Thanks for the clarification. I'll note that Q108897104 has two same given names, both the male and female version. [[3]] will show you. Vexations (talk) 21:53, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gamle (og lettere senile?) roboter

En rekke «roboter» laget av flere personer, inkludert Jhsbot https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q17750290&oldid=154801609 , har skapt et visst vedlikeholds-etterslep. Hvertfall så mangler over 5000 norske entiteter kategorisering uten at det dermed trengs å rettes noen pekefinger noen bestemt plass. For meg ser det ut som om botten avsluttet sitt arbeide i 2017. Jeg vil si det er bedre at det ikke opprettes Wikidata-element for en side på norsk Wikipedia, enn at det opprettes et element som ikke har kategorisering. Jeg har også mistanke om at dette er nettopp grunnen til at botten avsluttet sitt arbeide.

Hvordan er muligheten for å «pushe» den norske brukergruppen til å vedlikeholde entiteter? At de påpeker frittgående kyr (Q-er) er en ting, men egenskaper er faktisk skjelettet alt det andre bygger på.

For min egen del så har jeg hatt en svært ensidig fokus på spørringer, dermed så har jeg blitt hva de kaller en "fagidiot" expert idiot (Q1391302) og det er helt greit for min del. Infrastruktur (talk) 20:09, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Tja, jeg er ikke helt sikker på om bottene har skapt et vedlikeholdsetterslep, de har vel bare flytta det ett hakk videre fra Wikipedia og hit i stedet. Men du har rett i at det ikke er den beste framgangsmåten, for det har en stor sannsynlighet for å opprette duplikater – altså at den oppretter nye elementer for artikler som egentlig burde ha vært knytta til eksisterende elementer. Så jeg har ihvertfall slutta med dette for lenge sida, og det tror jeg de fleste andre har også (men det er nok noen som driver på fortsatt).

Denne spørringa viser alle elementer som har lenke til nowiki – per nå er det rundt 1700 stk., så det er ikke så ille – men om man øker «grensa» til ett utsagn har man plutselig 78 000 stk., og det er litt verre. Så ja, det er nok å henge fingra i… Jon Harald Søby (talk) 00:17, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rettelse: Den siste spørringa tok ikke høyde for pekersider, kategorier osv., som det jo er naturlig at det ofte bare er ett utsagn på. Så her er en oppdatert spørring som luker vekk alle dem, og da er vi nede i «bare» 16 000. Ikke verst for noen minutters arbeid. 😂 Jon Harald Søby (talk) 00:30, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you're obviously smooth. <3 My hat off to you sir. Infrastruktur (talk) 20:14, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Engelke

God kveld! Kan du helpe med navnet Engelke (Q28745192) . Det er jo ført opp som mannsnavn, men er jo et kvinnenavn også. Er det nok å endre til Q3409032 eller bør det opprettes et nytt element for kvinnenavnet? Pmt (talk) 19:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hei Pmt! Er du sikker på at du mente Engelke (Q28745192)? Det er jo et etternavn … Jon Harald Søby (talk) 10:09, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Pmt: Jeg antar at du mente Engelke (Q30230198) (jeg burde jo ha søkt før jeg svarte …). Det er lenge siden jeg har drevet noe nevneverdig med navn, men når det gjelder slike navn har jeg pleid å sjekke om det er ulike kulturer/tradisjoner bak manns- og kvinnevarianten. Mannsnavnet Engelke har ei lenke til nedertysk Wikipedia, hvor det står at det er et mannsnavn. Jeg er usikker på i hvilken grad det «norske» kvinnenavnet Engelke er i slekt med det tyske/nedertyske, så der ville jeg ha oppretta et nytt element for kvinnenavnet for å være på den sikre sida. Det blir litt som at det finske mannsnavnet Kari er forskjellig fra det norske kvinnenavnet Kari. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 10:20, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hei, takk for svar! Skulle være Engelke (Q30230198) ja. Da oppretter jeg et nytt element. Pmt (talk) 18:06, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata weekly summary #567

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Discussions
- New requests for permissions/Bot:
  - RPI2026F1Bot 7 (Add start time (P580) as qualifiers to subreddit (P3984))
  - BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)

Welcome to the 600th Wikidata Weekly Summary!

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary!

Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed

Item #600 Ichiro Suzuki; Property #600 is Wine AppDB ID; and Lexeme #600 is the Japanese conjugation だから
- 600 in the multiverse: as a year (another year), a number, a category, a track gauge, a jet, an asteroid, an auto race, a genetic element, a death, a birth, a TV serie, a car, a galaxy, a sport discipline, a radio telescope, an engine, a polygon, a film, a GPU, a photolithography, and many more…
Timeline of places when they had a population of exactly 600
Map of things at an altitude of 600 m
List of items with an external ID equal to 600
- Wikidata was 600 days old on Wednesday 11 June 2014. It will be 600 weeks old on Monday 9 August 2027
WikidataCon happened over the weekend
- Birthday wishes from the community, and a special note from the Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Deutschland below:

Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.
Wikidata’s world - map of Wikidata Items with a geocoordinate

There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉
Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.
And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.
Lydia for the development team

Documentation of the sessions is currently ongoing with the slides getting uploaded on Wikimedia Commons here. The Livestream and replay of the conference per day are already available on YouTube. The individual sections are here.

Tool of the week
- Cersei - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent).
- Wikidata:Zotero/Cita - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using cites work (P2860) information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data.

Jonathan Fraine & Lydia Pintscher present the practical integration of Wikidata's open-source, open-access knowledge graph to empower Generative AI applications. Harnessing the real-time updated, structured data encapsulated within Wikidata, they explore automated content creation, data augmentation, and semantic analysis, underpinning the generative paradigms. Through a blend of theoretical insights and real-world applications, they elucidate how to leverage Wikidata to elevate generative AI applications, breaking down existing data silos, and fostering a collaborative ecosystem within our global community of developers and contributors.

+* ''' Tool of the week '''
+** [[m:Cersei|Cersei]] - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent).
+** [[d:Wikidata:Zotero/Cita|Wikidata:Zotero/Cita]] - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using [[d:Property:P2860|cites work (P2860)]] information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data.
