You can comment on all open property proposals!

Did you know?

• Query examples:
  • Recently edited lexemes since 'DATE' (in this case Danish since 01.11.2024)
  • List films shot by filming location - try changing the wd: Wikidata item to another country, city, or even a building or natural location.
• Newest WikiProjects:
  • Suriname Public Art - public artworks and memorials in Suriname
  • HDF - A WikiProject for work underway at the The HDF Group (Q106509427) to connect HDF data with Wikidata.
  • French Literary Prizes - Aims to coordinate the development of a database on French literary prizes (prize list, jury members, list of winners). In 2008, Bertrand Labes listed more than 1,500 French-speaking literary prizes. To date, Wikidata has 709, including 24 including the list of winners and awarded works.
• Newest database reports: Languages with the most lexemes without senses (using Toolforge tool 'Orthohin')
• Showcase Items: Rembrandt (Q5598) - Dutch painter and printmaker (1606–1669)
• Showcase Lexemes: ਜੀਵਣ/جِیوَݨ (L740318) - 'life' in Punjabi

Development

• Lua: We changed the Wikibase function getAllStatements logic to behave as getBestStatements. When invoked, it was returning mutable direct-values, now it will return a copy of those values (which are immutable). (phab:T270851)
• Wikibase REST API:
  • Wikibase REST API is now on version 1!
  • We've finished the work on the create Property endpoint so it is now possible to create Properties via the REST API.
• Configuration: We removed 'mainpage' from $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg for Wikidata as requested so translations of the main page are available (phab:T184386)
• mul language code: We moved it to the top of the termbox so labels and aliases in mul are visible first (phab:T371802)
• Revision table size: We are investigating the current state of the revision table of Wikidata's database and what the next steps should be to address its issues.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Weekly Tasks

• Add labels, in your own language(s), for the new properties listed above.
• Contribute to the showcase Item and Lexeme above.
• Summarize your WikiProject's ongoing activities in one or two sentences.
• Help translate or proofread the interface and documentation pages, in your own language!
• Help merge identical items across Wikimedia projects.
• Help write the next summary!

Tech News: 2024-46

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

• On wikis with the Translate extension enabled, users will notice that the FuzzyBot will now automatically create translated versions of categories used on translated pages. [1]
• View all 29 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the submitted task to use the SecurePoll extension for English Wikipedia's special administrator election was resolved on time. [2]

Updates for technical contributors

• In 1.44.0-wmf-2, the logic of Wikibase function getAllStatements changed to behave like getBestStatements. Invoking the function now returns a copy of values which are immutable. [3]
• Wikimedia REST API users, such as bot operators and tool maintainers, may be affected by ongoing upgrades. The API will be rerouting some page content endpoints from RESTbase to the newer MediaWiki REST API endpoints. The impacted endpoints include getting page/revision metadata and rendered HTML content. These changes will be available on testwiki later this week, with other projects to follow. This change should not affect existing functionality, but active users of the impacted endpoints should verify behavior on testwiki, and raise any concerns on the related Phabricator ticket.

In depth

• Admins and users of the Wikimedia projects where Automoderator is enabled can now monitor and evaluate important metrics related to Automoderator's actions. This Superset dashboard calculates and aggregates metrics about Automoderator's behaviour on the projects in which it is deployed. Thanks to the Moderator Tools team for this Dashboard; you can visit the documentation page for more information about this work. [4]

Meetings and events

• 21 November 2024 (8:00 UTC & 16:00 UTC) - Community call with Wikimedia Commons volunteers and stakeholders to help prioritize support efforts for 2025-2026 Fiscal Year. The theme of this call is how content should be organised on Wikimedia Commons.
