[08:36:17] harej: Things like "Standing men facing left while smiling" are a Commons joke. [08:39:34] It would be ridiculous IMO to have items for many Commons categories, since they are often not about discrete concepts (but instead a kludge for not having image tags) [09:12:57] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2016 <--- Comments needed! [09:14:06] tobias47n9e__: Will take a look soon. :) [09:14:50] sjoerddebruin, Thanks. But I will spam this anyway for a week :) [09:14:59] <3 [15:38:59] Exception: Key contains invalid characters: wikibase_shared/0.5 alpha/experimental-wikidata2:WikiPageEntityRevisionLookup:Q6 [15:38:59] /var/www/html/daniel/wikidata/includes/libs/objectcache/MemcachedBagOStuff.php:150 [15:38:59] Thiemo_WMDE: --^ [15:39:06] Wikidata down or is it just me? [15:39:06] it's down [15:39:06] "You can try searching via Google in the meantime." lol [15:39:10] seems to be back [15:39:13] yep [15:39:13] sorry :( [15:39:13] it's fixed [15:39:13] no problem [15:55:40] Guest speaker John Steward [15:55:43] ? [15:55:48] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2016 <-- [15:57:01] Actually spelled: Jon Stewart :) [16:25:48] DanielK_WMDE_: Thiemo_WMDE https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/249355/ [16:25:59] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T116889 [16:27:05] Lydia_WMDE: Ash_Crow wrote to you the birthday text? [16:27:23] I didn't have internet the last few days, he helped me... [16:31:08] Lydia_WMDE: en.wikisource uses wikidata for authority control on 20k or so author pages, e.g. https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Henry_Spelman [16:31:37] Harmonia_Amanda: no problem. all good :) [16:31:40] i have it ready [16:31:46] DanielK_WMDE_: merci! [16:31:51] great! [16:36:10] Lydia_WMDE: en.wikivoyage also uses wikidata quite a bit,m but i havn't figured out how exactly yet. these are the relevant templates: https://en.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Module%3AWikibase&namespace=10 [16:39:16] Lydia_WMDE: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-game/distributed/#game=15 [16:43:21] DanielK_WMDE_: Will be in Berlin tonight [16:44:44] multichill: hey :) [16:48:29] hi Amir1 [16:48:38] multichill: \o/ [16:48:41] Did you see my question about fuzzy list formatting [16:48:43] ? [16:48:45] we will be at c-base [16:49:02] multichill: no [16:49:05] aude: Until what time? [16:49:17] when did you send it? [16:49:24] multichill: no idea, probably late [16:49:39] What is the program again for tomorrow? ;-) [16:50:54] Owh, we start at 13:00! [16:51:19] multichill: what was it? [16:51:33] Amir1: You made the fuzzy list, but no formatting [16:51:38] I'm sorry if I didn't see it. Otherwise I would answer right away [16:51:41] Was wondering if you could include that [16:51:44] hmm [16:51:52] Let me think [16:52:02] It's a simple regex I guess [16:52:35] let me fix the page [17:06:32] multichill: cool! quite a few people will be on the c-base tonight. i won't join, since I have an RFC session to prepare (Dependency Injection, 23:00 CET) [17:08:03] DanielK_WMDE_: DUDE! ;-) [17:09:33] I'll be in town until Saturday so I'm sure we can go for a beer one of the other nights [17:10:41] Tomorrow. I'll head to Leipzig on Friday. [17:14:03] See you at c-base, time to catch a flight [19:29:48] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikimania_2016 <-- [19:32:49] exciting! [19:32:58] also, I posted a question about... uh... category notability, if anyone cares https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Notability#Are_Commons_categories_notable_by_themselves.3F [19:33:02] what is a "Wikidata project chat"? [19:33:13] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat ? [19:33:45] it's wikidata's village pump, basically [19:33:49] the central discussion page [19:34:02] andre__ I struggle how to express that "all languages of project chat", "all project chat languages"? [19:34:40] what is a "project chat"? [19:34:58] ah. [19:35:01] andre__, A forum? [19:35:10] so a wikipage. [19:35:12] I see. [19:36:33] I think a link to each page (like for "(de)") would have helped me realize what that term means. Thanks :) [19:36:46] andre__, harej I hope you can comment on the page and I really hope you can come to the conference. [19:36:56] i may be skipping 2016 [19:37:23] (i have attended five consecutive wikimanias!) [19:37:36] harej, But this one is in Bella Italia :) [19:38:10] it is in the old country. yes. but wikimania has just become too stressful for me. [19:40:46] harej, Since I became involved with Wikidata I have overdosed on stress and have no become immune to it :) [19:40:57] wikidata is stressful? [19:41:11] i find it to be a lot of fun! [19:41:21] harej, Sometimes, when there is a lot to get going forward :) [19:46:47] wikidata is still relatively new, and there is an awful lot of work still to be done [19:49:24] tell me about it [19:49:38] i had to create hundreds of items just to accommodate my mass import project at my day job [19:50:22] on nl-wiki we have a daily dose of new articles with no entry yet [19:50:28] and little people know about that ;-) [19:52:15] We really need to work on the gamification of certain tasks on Wikidata. I was looking into a translation-game this week and then found this: https://translate.google.com/community [19:53:02] DanielK_WMDE_: are you around still? :-} [19:53:06] Google has did a real good job on that. We need something similar to translate the most-wanted items. [19:53:29] DanielK_WMDE_: some people are wondering whether you are attending the RFC meeting this week. If you do that means we skip the kafka event bus RFC in favor of mediawiki injection [19:57:20] In my time zone it's about to start wikidata's birthday :) [20:01:03] hashar: i'm here, and happy to talk about dependency injection :) [20:01:14] DanielK_WMDE_: Danke :-) [20:01:31] damn time zone foo [21:42:06] does anyone here know how to create a WDQ to list all plants? I tried with web() and with tree(), but web showed animals too, and tree only two items. [22:10:13] edrobot, Let me see if i can help. [22:11:39] yes please ... it was a question from Wikimedia Netherlands actually [22:12:07] I know I can create a python script to find it, but autolist(2) would give results way quicker [22:14:46] edrobot, Sparql would be even better, but I didn't have time to learn that yet. [22:15:04] But this should work: http://tools.wmflabs.org/autolist/autolist1.html?q=tree[756][][171] [22:15:20] I'm already happy as a child with the possibilities that python/pywikibot is giving me [22:15:22] 460099 items [22:16:14] edrobot, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Pywikibot_-_Python_3_Tutorial I am collecting Wikidata examples here, but 460000 is as boring as web-scraping :) [22:16:33] I tried it without the [] empty brackets earlier ... [22:17:05] edrobot, [startitem][moving up the tree][moving down the tree] [22:17:56] aha ... in my case it gave all fish and spiders etc as well... that was too much ;-) [22:19:03] my two queries in python are listed here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Edoderoobot [22:19:31] today I created some code to collect / scrape the number of inhabitants per Dutch postal code, I will add that too one of these days [22:21:30] Nice. I will bookmark the page and see if I can gather new tutorial ideas :) [22:23:07] you are the one that will do the workshop in Sweden next month? [22:25:24] edrobot, No. But the link is on that page. Don't know who is doing that. [22:25:52] it's during our yearly Wikimedia Conference in Utrecht ... so though it's interesting, I can't go there anyways [22:27:58] but your tutorial will save me a lot of time ... [22:28:23] I've seen some things I figured out the hard way ... and some things that I wanted to know pretty bad already! [22:29:42] edrobot, Glad the tutorials are useful. We need all the bots we can get on Wikidata. Also more bots that check information between Wikdata and Wikipedia. Catch easy errors and such. [22:30:28] this year I did most of my edits with autolist2 ... together with creator to generate pages [22:30:54] for the low hanging fruits that is good enough ... but when you need flexibility, you need python [22:36:54] hmm... isn't there a ticket in phabricator for the sitelinks section where if you type a language code, it matches against the name? (like "es" will select esperanto) [22:37:09] I could've sworn I saw one but I can't find anything now
