[00:35:02] is there any way to query Wikidata ID based on confirmed Wikipedia article name? [00:35:34] CMBJ: Confirmed? [00:36:06] CMBJ: You mean something like https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ItemByTitle or something else? [00:37:26] James_F: That looks suitable, can the API call it? [00:37:41] CMBJ: No idea, but I would assume so. [00:37:41] * Hazard-SJ says yes [00:37:59] Hazard-SJ: What's the parameter? [00:39:27] CMBJ: Something like https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&format=json&sites=enwiki&titles=Berlin&languages=en will work :) [00:43:27] Hazard-SJ: :) That'll provide me with useful insight in any event, but is there a cleaner way of doing it so that hundreds of queries at once are efficient? [00:45:57] CMBJ: Are they for the same site? [00:47:36] Hazard-SJ: Yes, trying to get a working prototype for a novel way of interfacing with en.wiki categories [00:47:42] If so, titles=Title1|Title2|Title3 etc. [00:47:50] CMBJ: ^ [00:48:06] like https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&sites=enwiki&titles=Book|Worm&languages=en for example [00:49:29] Hazard-SJ: checking it out now [00:51:14] OK [00:56:24] Hazard-SJ: Any way to selectively specify particular properties to further cut down on excess database queries? [00:56:43] Hazard-SJ: This output has exactly what I need, but I don't want to kill the WMF servers [00:57:51] Remove properties you don't need [00:58:04] Values (separate with '|'): info, sitelinks, aliases, labels, descriptions, sitelinks/urls, claims, datatype [00:58:32] default looks to be everything [00:59:48] CMBJ: https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&format=json&sites=enwiki&titles=Another|Book|Worm|Test&props=info&languages=en [01:04:27] Hazard-SJ, Reedy: Getting close - props=claims has the data I need, though [01:05:23] title="Q34660" and property id="p21" and value entity-type="item" numeric-id="6581072" are what I need from one of the two titles in https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&sites=enwiki&titles=J.%20K.%20Rowling|Shari%20Arison&languages=en&props=claims [01:05:47] other properties are unnecessary though [01:06:18] reading API page now [01:06:27] CMBJ: Happy to see you found what you needed :) In the future, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox might be useful :P [01:07:59] Hazard-SJ: Ah, yes, that sandbox does make a difference :) [01:08:03] I just assumed it was a literal sandbox [01:10:58] CMBJ: I really don't know why they called it ApiSandbox :P [01:39:19] Is wbgetclaims not fully implemented? [02:13:35] CMBJ: Certainly possible.

[18:38:26] you know those greenman suits? [18:38:44] I'll have one made out of reflective material made [18:40:08] Sven_Manguard: we also have kinetic defences, also known as Danwe_WMDE his breakfast sitting on the windowsill waiting to fall down and kill someone [18:40:33] I'll sent in a kitten ahead of me [18:41:05] with any luck, you'll be so guilty over the dead kitten that you'll miss that the chocolate is missing [18:54:22] [18:54:34] Mm, kittipault. [18:55:28] If I have to demine an area I'll fly over it with a crop duster dropping kittens as I go [18:55:37] they always land on their feet, so they'll be fine [18:55:42] until they hit the mines, that is [18:56:11] [18:56:23] I think the landmines would be less dangerous. [18:58:51] oh ffs, this has been sitting on gerrit for a month now ... https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/58879/ [18:58:55] Easy review is easy [19:00:10] Sven_Manguard: Amgine: :D When are you guys releasing the movie? [19:00:40] Amgine: you can be the first to create the kittipault item on Wikidata.org :p [19:00:58] shortly after Wikidata figures out wiktionary interwikis? [19:01:51] JeroenDeDauw: "Needlessly Sacrificing Kittens for Petty Personal Gain: The Movie" will be coming to theaters roughly around the same time that all animal rights activists simultaneously decide to give up. So... never. [19:03:04] I wonder if we could patent the kittipault for the NRA as a cheaper replacement for clay pigeon/skeet launchers.... ++audio_feedback.

I'm seeing "scrip error" all over the List of properties page [22:26:42] http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties#Biology [22:26:49] Is that known? [22:27:08] yes [22:27:29] though i'm not sure what's being done to fix it unfortunately [22:28:21] ok, then I wont fill a bug report [22:33:14] Micru: rschen7754 could we try splitting the page into multiple pages? [22:33:37] like parser functions, i think there is some kind of limit for how many lua calls on a page [22:33:39] i think it's being discussed [22:33:42] k [22:33:42] yeah, that's the issue [22:34:56] if you do, you could use the same division as http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal [22:35:42] and I would rename the page to "accepted properties" [22:37:36] actually there are 3 pages related to properties that should be somehow linked together "property proposal, accepted properties, properties for deletion" [22:39:36] When was "main type (GND)" switched to "main type (english)"?
