Wikidata weekly summary #461

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • Closed request for adminship: Minorax, welcome onboard!
  • Development
    • The dev team spent the last week prototyping a few things to learn if some things would be feasible/a good idea. Among other things we tried building a small tool to connect Senses to Items, looked into the different types of ontology issues that can be found on Wikidata and checked what using a document store for data storage would look like.
    • Note: from March 29th until April 12th, Mohammed Sadat (WMDE) is not available to answer messages. If you have any requests for the development team, please ask on Contact the development team. For any emergency, you can contact Lea Lacroix (WMDE). Because of Easter holidays in Germany, the upcoming newsletter will be issued one day later, on April 6th.

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.

Tech News: 2021-13

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

Recent changes

  • Some very old web browsers don’t work well with the Wikimedia wikis. Some old code for browsers that used to be supported is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. [1]
  • Advanced item IRC recent changes feeds have been moved to a new server. Make sure all tools automatically reconnect to irc.wikimedia.org and not to the name of any specific server. Users should also consider switching to the more modern EventStreams. [2]

Problems

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split. It might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. [3]
  • Some translatable pages on Meta could not be edited. This was because of a bug in the translation tool. The new MediaWiki version was delayed because of problems like this. [4][5]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 March. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 31 March. It will be on all wikis from 1 April (calendar).

Administrators' newsletter – April 2021

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021).

Administrator changes

removed Alexandria • Happyme22 • RexxS

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
  • Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

  • When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
  • Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)

Tech News: 2021-14

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

Recent changes

  • Editors can collapse part of an article so you have to click on it to see it. When you click a link to a section inside collapsed content it will now expand to show the section. The browser will scroll down to the section. Previously such links didn't work unless you manually expanded the content first. [6]

Changes later this week

  • Advanced item The citoid API will use for example 2010-12-XX instead of 2010-12 for dates with a month but no days. This is because 2010-12 could be confused with 2010-2012 instead of December 2010. This is called level 1 instead of level 0 in the Extended Date/Time Format. [7]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 April. It will be on all wikis from 8 April (calendar).

Future changes

  • Advanced item PAWS can now connect to the new Wiki Replicas. Cross-database JOINS will no longer work from 28 April. There is a new way to connect to the databases. Until 28 April both ways to connect to the databases will work. If you think this affects you and you need help you can post on Phabricator or on Wikitech.

Wikidata weekly summary #462

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • QRank is a tool providing a rank for Wikidata entities based on page view statistics from several Wikimedia projects.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • The final version of the Wikibase Yearly Summary 2020 has been published.
    • Wikidata Lexeme Forms now supports additional Breton templates (Source)
    • User:Nikki/LexemeAddIPA.js userscript adds a link in the header for forms on lexeme pages which opens a dialog for adding IPA statements to forms that do not have any yet.
    • LexSAOB adds Svenska Akademiens ordbok (SAOB) identifiers to Swedish lexemes in Wikidata.
  • Development
    • We continued to make improvements to the Query builder. We worked on adding a footer to the Query Builder (phab:T268643) and showing all relevant columns in the query result (phab:T277646) as well as querying for dates (phab:T272697)
    • Fixed a bug where Item pages scrolls back to "In more languages" block after every change of DOM (phab:T277999, being deployed to Wikidata later this week)
    • Continued working on a new grafana graph to track editor numbers split by namespace (phab:T275999)
    • Finished a small tool to get the ORES quality score for a list of Items. Waiting for deployment to toolforge for broader use now.
    • Defined remaining work for redirect sitelink exceptions (phab:T278962)

Manual ping

I didn't get the "your mention was sent / not sent" notification for a comment I made that mentioned you, so I'll kick it oldschool with a talk-page ping: Talk:2021_Northern_Ireland_riots#Londonderry/Derry. Feel free to ignore this of course. -- Tamzin (she/they) | o toki tawa mi. 08:26, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #463

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • EditSum, a user script which allows to attach custom summary text to any label/statement/sitelink/etc. modification.
  • Development
    • Started research and collecting material for the work on improvements to the Lexeme UI and prepared the first interviews
    • Finishing up the work on the first version of the Query Builder. We still need to get the security review before we can deploy it properly. Current state can be tested on the test system.
    • Finalized the dashboard to see the number of (active/very active) editors split by namespace. See the graphs at the bottom of this dashboard.
    • Continued working on the remaining pieces needed to fully support editing statements on Senses of a Lexeme (phab:T199896)

Doris Wenban

While WP:NOR prohibits me from posting this as a reply on your reference desk question, genealogical databases do provide possible answers.

  • A "Doris A Wenban" was born in July, August or September of 1914 in Croydon, Surrey, England to a mother whose surname was "Knights". [9]
  • A "Clement J Wenban" and an "Amy M Knights" were married in April, May or June of 1912 in Kingston, Surrey, England. [10][11]
  • A "Doris Amy Wenban" married a "Robert Stanley Gorrell Dent" on 10 July 1939 and newspapers notices were published in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. [12]
  • A "Doris Amy Dent" was born on 26 July 1914 and died on 20 January 2008 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, England. [13]

If all of this is true, she appears to be this person, and her husband this artist.

Hope this helps, Star Garnet (talk) 20:30, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

@Star Garnet: That's just the gen I was looking for, thank you. I don't think NOR stops you from posting such material to the Refdesks, only article space. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:20, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
