Wikidata weekly summary #163

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • German language Wikipedia closed its RfC on usage of Wikidata data. As a result Wikidata data can be used on the project as long as it happens through a template and it has a non-Wikimedia reference.
  • Events/Blogs/Press
    • Past: Office hour on IRC. We talked about cool things that happened around Wikidata over the past 3 months got an update on upcoming developments and Freebase and more. You can read the log.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Did you know?
  • Development
    • Made a small API breaking change to wbeditentity and wbgetclaims modules. Details can be seen in the commit message of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/217885/
    • Worked more on unit support
    • Fixed an issue where you'd sometimes select the wrong value when entering a statement unintentionally (phabricator:T98471)
    • Switched the whole code base to make use of DataModel 3.0
    • The concept of “claims” no longer exists in Wikibase, as all places in the software work with statements. We are making this more and more explicit in the code.
    • The autoloading mechanism of the extension changed, see phabricator:T100813
    • More work on getting the Wikibase Quality extensions ready for deployment. They'll improve constraint checking and provide checks against 3rd party databases.
    • Special:UnconnectedPages had to be reworked (thanks Amir!) because of huge performance issues. Because of this it loses some functionality (being able to specify where the list starts and limiting the list to pages that have local interwiki links). We're working on bringing functionality back without the performance penalty.
    • Bene* created a SPARQL abstraction layer for PHP called Asparagus: https://github.com/Benestar/asparagus
    • Enabled arbitrary access on arwiki, cawiki, eswiki, huwiki, kowiki, rowiki, ukwiki, viwiki, and usage tracking on dewiki, ruwiki, cswiki and all s3 wikis. (ruwiki and cswiki get arbitrary access on June 23)
    • Finishing work on improved handling “invalid” values and statements with deleted properties.
    • Small breaking DOM change: Wikibase no longer adds its own h1 tag but uses MediaWiki's default .firstHeading element. (phabricator:T93534)
  • Monthly Tasks
    • Hack on one of these.
    • Help fix these items which have been flagged using Wikidata - The Game.
    • Help develop the next summary here!
    • Contribute to a Showcase item
    • Help translate or proofread pages in your own language!
    • Add labels, in your own language, for the new properties listed above.

Leiter, Gourmet Report

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello again, thank you for persuading Epeefleche that Above the Law was not a proper source for establishing that Brian Leiter was a Nietzsche scholar. Thanks to Sneekypat, some progress is finally being made on the controversy resulting from Epeefleche's wholesale rewrite of the article back in May ([is what it looked] like before Epeefleche turned it into an article about the controversy). Could you please weigh in to the discussion at the bottom of the section on "Trimming the Lede" here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Brian_Leiter#Trimming_the_Lede Epeefleche attacks the motives of other editors who disagree with him, but he will I hope listen to you as he does to Sneekypat. There seems to be emerging consensus to shorten the lede and then, thereafter, to shorten the controversy section so that it is not out of proportion to the rest of the article. Even if you don't agree with all the suggestions at the Talk page, I am sure your input will help move things forward. Thank you.Philosophy Junkie (talk) 20:17, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I've participated a little bit on Wikipedia but I'm currently off from work on medical leave, so I apologise in advance if I don't participate in detail in the Leiter discussion. My contribution so far has been less about the controversial aspects of the article and more to do with unpicking a few of the thorny side issues that have been raised. I'll try and take a peek in and respond to some of the comments at some point. —Tom Morris (talk) 20:36, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
