Hi Magnus Manske,
would it be possible to enable the MissingTopics tool for wiktionary? Especially for the German one? Best regards -- Yoursmile ( talk) 07:38, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Astral spirit is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Astral spirit until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Brainy J ~✿~ ( talk) 19:39, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
It is possible to filter the articles on creation date, but is there a way to sort them on creation date? Apart from that, it would be useful to have creation date in the result table.
That, and the ability to find article/talk category intersections ("find articles in category X where their talk pages are in category Y"), are pretty much the only things that keep it from being perfect. :-) (IIRC, article/talk intersections tended to create a performance problem; not sure if that's still the case.)

Hi Magnus,
I was wondering if you could add commons:Category:Images_from_Livrustkammaren_och_Skoklosters_slott_med_Stiftelsen_Hallwylska_museet to the BaGLAMa tool? There are only roughly 200 images in the category at this point but a further ~13000 are expected within the month. Many thanks, Lokal _ Profil 14:22, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi Magnus- any idea why some Commons categories with large numbers of files show as zero files in GLAMorous, e.g. [2]? Thanks for this and all your brilliant tools, by the way. MartinPoulter ( talk) 15:43, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi Magnus,
IMHO it could be very intresting and usefull to add commons:Category:Rijksmuseum_Amsterdam to the BaGLAMa tool. (I tried but didn't succeed to have the the pageviews with GLAMorous). It could be a very good example to show the success of open access for a museum. Thanks Shonagon WPfr 08:14, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Rubicon49bce ( talk) 03:45, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Magnus, regarding your Terminator-Tool it would be useful to have some kind of filter mechanism for it. E.g., the first 50 or more of the entries for "missing label" in German appear to be Chinese localities, with only one Wikipedia link to Chinese Wikipedia. Therefore, they are very difficult and for most German users impossible to label. Perhaps one could have a filter e.g. for "missing label in German", with the filter being e.g. "and at least 5 available wikipedia links", that means including probably one wikipedia link from a wikipedia with latin script. The same issue exists with regard to Russian localities. This is just a proposal, perhaps something like such a filter would be possible for you to implement. Best regards, Longbow4u ( talk) 20:03, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Magnus
Was just using your GLAMorous tool and noticed that it wasn't possible to toggle Commons on/off. This is probably linked to Commons showing up as commons.wikipedia rather than commons.wikimedia (it also responds to the wikipedia toggle rather than the wikimedia/commons one).

Hallo Magnus! I was startled tonight by a program note identifying Ambroise Thomas as a writer. Do you remember if the Etude article you used for the Cecile Chaminade article elaborated on this? Did he go further than occasional journalism? Sparafucil ( talk) 09:01, 12 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Magnus, I was thrilled to see the page counts for "Images from the Chemical Heritage Foundation" starting to appear. It is very exciting. Thank you so much! One question, though; 2013-09 did not seem to appear for this or for several other categories, although it is there for most categories. A possible bug? Thank you! Mary Mark Ockerbloom ( talk) 18:13, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Magnus, a question about your wonderful BaGLAMa tool.
Consider the image File:Jean-Baptiste_Isabey_003.jpg which is used in en:Napoleon and counted with Commons:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Austria with known IDs in the BaGLAMa tool.
It took me some time to find out why it is counted. The image itself is not marked with Commons:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Austria with known IDs, but it is in the category Commons:Category:Portraits of Marie-Louise of Austria, Duchess of Parma -> Commons:Category:Marie-Louise of Austria, Duchess of Parma -> Commons:Category:Burials at Imperial Crypt -> Commons:Category:Imperial Crypt -> Commons:Category:Capuchin Church, Vienna, which is a protected object in Austria being marked with Commons:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Austria with known IDs. So the image is counted as protected, because it is the portrait of a noble person being buried in a crypt underneath a protected church. The portrait of the lady is not protected at all (at least not in the scope considered).
It looks as if you are stepping down the category tree and count everything underneath the root category. The same situation arises also for images in a museum, when the museum is protected, or for events taking place in a protected building. While it is natural to add works of art or events to the location / building, it is not always clear that the property of cultural protection is inherited down the category tree.
My question: Is there a way to exclude certain subcats from being considered by BaGLAMa? Is it possible to restrict BaGLAMa matches to only files and not inherit them down the category tree at all? Or do we have to remove the category considered by BaGLAMa from object categories like Commons:Category:Capuchin Church, Vienna or alternatively, restructure the corresponding category trees?
What is your recommendation? (As the category Commons:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Austria with known IDs is generated via a template, it would be (technically) easy for me to not generate the marker category on object categories at all.)
This is a question in the tension between truth and marketing, it could well be possible that huge figures are intended. I'm not the initiator for counting that category and I'm not the primary contact to the external organization. While a change in counting should not be a problem when truth is the point, it might be a problem in the marketing case. regards -- Herzi Pinki ( talk) 15:27, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Joanjoc tools' "Articles without interwikis" tool's "Namespace" parameter doesn't seem to work (i.e., works only for articles). Is there anything you can do about it? 85.194.253.105 ( talk) 16:34, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi, some of your tools are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. Here is an example :
194.254.53.103 ( talk) 18:03, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello Magnus! I am a French admin that salutes you.
I have just seen your numerous tools on wmflabs and I now wonder if you could help me by building the one I need. I have asked people on the French Wikipedia but they whether don't know how to do it or maybe don't care. I think you may be able to bring a different answer.
This would be a category filler. As a French Wikipedia user, I would go to your external server and fill the name of a French category. The tool would then go to all the equivalent categories that exist in other Wikipedias (using the links provided by Wikidata) and it would look there for pages with a French equivalent (again through Wikidata). The tool would then select only those that aren't yet in the French category selected by the user at the beginning. And then it would eventually list all those French pages in one column and their equivalents in another (under their language code, maybe).
This would be very useful, especially if the URL is modified by the request. We could then put a link in any French category through our template fr:Modèle:Boîte des catégories that would basically, once clicked, provide a list of suggestions of articles that we already have and that could be in the category. Wonderful!
For the moment, I am using a less sophisticated version, which is already great and useful, but not exactly what I imagine. It is available here. It deals with one foreign language at a time and it provides a full list of French articles, not one shortened to the pages that are absent from the French category the user chose. Plus the user actually choses a category in a foreign language, not his or her own.
And eventually there is no possibility to have depth selection. I would like the user to be able to tell the tool what he or she wants regarding this. Of course the depth would be reached in the foreign versions, not the French one (for the French category could actually be created and linked to others but still empty).
Can you help me? Thierry Caro ( talk) 07:18, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Magnus! Thanks as always for your GLAM tools. I noticed something odd, a huge spike, in recent NARA data, so looked closer. In August, one of the NARA pictures was the featured image on enwp's main page, and that resulted in the main page getting counted (with 300 million views), when it was only there for a day. It probably makes sense to exclude any project main pages when counting the data, since content is only featured for a short time and they will greatly skew the data. It would be nice if we could count the view for the day it was featured (for enwp, that could be 10 million views!), but I'm sure that's pretty complicated. Dominic· t 18:50, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hey Magnus,
i really like the
Herding Sheep tool for tracking what my students are doing after i gave a Wikipedia workshop. However, i'd really like to add an option for giving a list of individual users instead of a category. Unfortunately i can't find the source on Bitbucket, so i wonder if it might be in another place? I could do a pull request after i'm ready so you could incorporate it into the tool. Thanks.

Hi Magnus! There seems to be a serious problem with these stats recently. Look at "Tate" - this is one of a number of institutions which has shown massive decline in recent months, with October total figures well under half July, losing over 4.5 m views. But if you look at the en:wiki figures, just comparing the top 10 images, and then look at the articles and their views, it is clear that most of the July top 10 have just disappeared for no reason I can work out. Look at the Hogarth 006 in Pug and Aesthetics for example, or the Blake in William Shakespeare. And 6/9 of the top language figures declined by over 50% between July and October - link. Several unchanged images seem no longer to be being picked up. Might it be due to changes in the categories? Eek! Johnbod ( talk) 17:38, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, it looks like catscan2 works with mistakes or may be this is some api bug or may be something else, I can't get what's wrong but catscan2 returns articles which have no relation to the category I'm searching in - searching in the category ru:Категория:Право (law) [5] returns articles:
It works so as if it finds some random articles. So, some part of articles on result page are relevant, some are not. Some of them are from one parent category (for example several articles from ru:Категория:Полки армии Конфедерации. I have no idea what's wrong and what to do.

Hullo, I'm just trying to wrap my head around the results from a couple of different tools.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/glamorous.php reports that "Images from the Chemical Heritage Foundation" has 172 images on 16 sites, 129 images on en.wikipedia, with 107 distinct images used. A previous glamorous report, 2013-10-29, showed 12 sites, with 145 images of which 90 distinct images were were used, so the number of images released and used increased during the last month.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/baglama.php?group=Images+from+the+Chemical+Heritage+Foundation&date=201310 reports Page views of pages containing files from "Images from the Chemical Heritage Foundation" for 2013-10, and shows details for 39 pages on enwiki, 4 pages on dewiki and 1 on cswiki (no other sites are mentioned).
Doing a comparison of 2013-10 to 2013-09 reports a drop in image use: itwiki, for example, is not counted in 2013-10 even though the glamorous reports indicates that an image is used there. http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/baglama.php?group=Images+from+the+Chemical+Heritage+Foundation&date=201310&diff=201309
So I'm not sure what's happening. If I assume that the tools are looking at similar data, shouldn't more sites and pages be included in the Baglama report? Thanks, Mary Mark Ockerbloom ( talk) 18:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, sorry I don't have a JIRA account but I still wanted to leave a quick suggestion for catscan: could you add searching for talk page categories?

Hello Magnus, I am one of those who learned from you about Wikidata Query during your presentation at the recent CEE meeting in Slovakia. Now when I wanted to make a use of it, I realized that searching for data items with/without a link to a specific wiki (i.e. an article in that language) does probably not work. Your own example http://208.80.153.172/api?q=link%5Bdewiki%5D%20and%20nolink%5Bfrwiki%5D delivers only an empty set. Will this please be fixed so that I can use the tool to find articles on a certain topic worth translating from one language to another?

Merry Christmas Magnus
I've been using Flickr2Commons quite a lot recently and plan to use it more in the next week or two, I have two questions:
1. Is there a way of seeing what files I have uploaded using the bot (they don't show up in my uploads). I guess I've done about 3-4000ish and it would nice to see them to make sure I've got all the categories correct etc.
2. Is there a way of retrying failed uploads from the transfer form? I've had a couple of situations with many tens of files and I get "Transfer failed : 500 Internal Server Error" and when I click to the transfer files button again it seems to not try the failed uploads again.
Thank you for making your tools, I'd be stumped without them

Hi Magnus, I am too fascinated by your neat work on the Wikidataquery and I want to build something on top of it. Problem is: I am as dumb as a rock and I cannot understand how to make nested queries using your API. So, your example of German bridges is easy: first you select everyhing that looks sort of a bridge and then you ask only for those in Germany or one of its parts. What if I want to obtain the list of all mayors of a capital? Here the result is a list of people, but the constraint is on the city they are mayor of. Do I need to get first the list of capitals and then get their mayors? If so, how? If not, is there a better strategy or is it not currently possible with the APIs? Thanks!

Suggest: Create a list like this taking only items into account that exist in five/ten (or variable number) Wikipedias. These would be more likely targets in any other language edition.

Hi Magnus,
I have been playing the "No Date" wikidata game for a while now, and i must say its one of the most addictive applications i came across in some time. I have a couple of suggestions though- three are related to date detection in specific languages and one is related to "generic" date detection. The content on the left of the arrow is the article's text, the content on the right a Google translation of the content.
The format marked as "GENERIC" fails to highlight the starting year if there is no space in front and after the dash (somewhat common issue). The lines marked with a language display specific-language dates where the month and day format does not seem to be recognized. Naturally this occasionally occurs in every language, but for these three languages the above date annotations seem to be the default format (Or at least a common variety). It would be rather convenient if some detection routine for the above could be added to this game. Thanks in advance for considering it! Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 23:59, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
I'm using processing (programming language) got get information (e.g. on nato countries) as JSON. I still find the API-documentation very hard to follow. I get a JSON list of the numbers of the 22 NATO members all right, but how can I ask for name and description and wikipedia-url of the countries (when I have their ID)? Something like .....api?q=claim[22] ? Do have entries like name and description also an ID? Where can I find a list of those?
It would be great if there could be an example with a comnplete url and not only bits and pieces - also a complete processing program would be great (I will submit mine here when I am done ;-) ) Thanks a ton! Following entry is not by me:

It is possible to filter the articles on creation date, but is there a way to sort them on creation date? Apart from that, it would be useful to have creation date in the result table.
That, and the ability to find article/talk category intersections ("find articles in category X where their talk pages are in category Y"), are pretty much the only things that keep it from being perfect. :-) (IIRC, article/talk intersections tended to create a performance problem; not sure if that's still the case.)

Hi Magnus, regarding your Terminator-Tool it would be useful to have some kind of filter mechanism for it. E.g., the first 50 or more of the entries for "missing label" in German appear to be Chinese localities, with only one Wikipedia link to Chinese Wikipedia. Therefore, they are very difficult and for most German users impossible to label. Perhaps one could have a filter e.g. for "missing label in German", with the filter being e.g. "and at least 5 available wikipedia links", that means including probably one wikipedia link from a wikipedia with latin script. The same issue exists with regard to Russian localities. This is just a proposal, perhaps something like such a filter would be possible for you to implement. Best regards, Longbow4u ( talk) 20:03, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Magnus
Was just using your GLAMorous tool and noticed that it wasn't possible to toggle Commons on/off. This is probably linked to Commons showing up as commons.wikipedia rather than commons.wikimedia (it also responds to the wikipedia toggle rather than the wikimedia/commons one).

Hi Magnus, a question about your wonderful BaGLAMa tool.
Consider the image File:Jean-Baptiste_Isabey_003.jpg which is used in en:Napoleon and counted with Commons:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Austria with known IDs in the BaGLAMa tool.
It took me some time to find out why it is counted. The image itself is not marked with Commons:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Austria with known IDs, but it is in the category Commons:Category:Portraits of Marie-Louise of Austria, Duchess of Parma -> Commons:Category:Marie-Louise of Austria, Duchess of Parma -> Commons:Category:Burials at Imperial Crypt -> Commons:Category:Imperial Crypt -> Commons:Category:Capuchin Church, Vienna, which is a protected object in Austria being marked with Commons:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Austria with known IDs. So the image is counted as protected, because it is the portrait of a noble person being buried in a crypt underneath a protected church. The portrait of the lady is not protected at all (at least not in the scope considered).
It looks as if you are stepping down the category tree and count everything underneath the root category. The same situation arises also for images in a museum, when the museum is protected, or for events taking place in a protected building. While it is natural to add works of art or events to the location / building, it is not always clear that the property of cultural protection is inherited down the category tree.
My question: Is there a way to exclude certain subcats from being considered by BaGLAMa? Is it possible to restrict BaGLAMa matches to only files and not inherit them down the category tree at all? Or do we have to remove the category considered by BaGLAMa from object categories like Commons:Category:Capuchin Church, Vienna or alternatively, restructure the corresponding category trees?
What is your recommendation? (As the category Commons:Category:Cultural heritage monuments in Austria with known IDs is generated via a template, it would be (technically) easy for me to not generate the marker category on object categories at all.)
This is a question in the tension between truth and marketing, it could well be possible that huge figures are intended. I'm not the initiator for counting that category and I'm not the primary contact to the external organization. While a change in counting should not be a problem when truth is the point, it might be a problem in the marketing case. regards -- Herzi Pinki ( talk) 15:27, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, some of your tools are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. Here is an example :
194.254.53.103 ( talk) 18:03, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
Hello Magnus! I am a French admin that salutes you.
I have just seen your numerous tools on wmflabs and I now wonder if you could help me by building the one I need. I have asked people on the French Wikipedia but they whether don't know how to do it or maybe don't care. I think you may be able to bring a different answer.
This would be a category filler. As a French Wikipedia user, I would go to your external server and fill the name of a French category. The tool would then go to all the equivalent categories that exist in other Wikipedias (using the links provided by Wikidata) and it would look there for pages with a French equivalent (again through Wikidata). The tool would then select only those that aren't yet in the French category selected by the user at the beginning. And then it would eventually list all those French pages in one column and their equivalents in another (under their language code, maybe).
This would be very useful, especially if the URL is modified by the request. We could then put a link in any French category through our template fr:Modèle:Boîte des catégories that would basically, once clicked, provide a list of suggestions of articles that we already have and that could be in the category. Wonderful!
For the moment, I am using a less sophisticated version, which is already great and useful, but not exactly what I imagine. It is available here. It deals with one foreign language at a time and it provides a full list of French articles, not one shortened to the pages that are absent from the French category the user chose. Plus the user actually choses a category in a foreign language, not his or her own.
And eventually there is no possibility to have depth selection. I would like the user to be able to tell the tool what he or she wants regarding this. Of course the depth would be reached in the foreign versions, not the French one (for the French category could actually be created and linked to others but still empty).
Can you help me? Thierry Caro ( talk) 07:18, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Magnus! Thanks as always for your GLAM tools. I noticed something odd, a huge spike, in recent NARA data, so looked closer. In August, one of the NARA pictures was the featured image on enwp's main page, and that resulted in the main page getting counted (with 300 million views), when it was only there for a day. It probably makes sense to exclude any project main pages when counting the data, since content is only featured for a short time and they will greatly skew the data. It would be nice if we could count the view for the day it was featured (for enwp, that could be 10 million views!), but I'm sure that's pretty complicated. Dominic· t 18:50, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Magnus! There seems to be a serious problem with these stats recently. Look at "Tate" - this is one of a number of institutions which has shown massive decline in recent months, with October total figures well under half July, losing over 4.5 m views. But if you look at the en:wiki figures, just comparing the top 10 images, and then look at the articles and their views, it is clear that most of the July top 10 have just disappeared for no reason I can work out. Look at the Hogarth 006 in Pug and Aesthetics for example, or the Blake in William Shakespeare. And 6/9 of the top language figures declined by over 50% between July and October - link. Several unchanged images seem no longer to be being picked up. Might it be due to changes in the categories? Eek! Johnbod ( talk) 17:38, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Hullo, I'm just trying to wrap my head around the results from a couple of different tools.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/glamorous.php reports that "Images from the Chemical Heritage Foundation" has 172 images on 16 sites, 129 images on en.wikipedia, with 107 distinct images used. A previous glamorous report, 2013-10-29, showed 12 sites, with 145 images of which 90 distinct images were were used, so the number of images released and used increased during the last month.
http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/baglama.php?group=Images+from+the+Chemical+Heritage+Foundation&date=201310 reports Page views of pages containing files from "Images from the Chemical Heritage Foundation" for 2013-10, and shows details for 39 pages on enwiki, 4 pages on dewiki and 1 on cswiki (no other sites are mentioned).
Doing a comparison of 2013-10 to 2013-09 reports a drop in image use: itwiki, for example, is not counted in 2013-10 even though the glamorous reports indicates that an image is used there. http://tools.wmflabs.org/glamtools/baglama.php?group=Images+from+the+Chemical+Heritage+Foundation&date=201310&diff=201309
So I'm not sure what's happening. If I assume that the tools are looking at similar data, shouldn't more sites and pages be included in the Baglama report? Thanks, Mary Mark Ockerbloom ( talk) 18:11, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello Magnus, I am one of those who learned from you about Wikidata Query during your presentation at the recent CEE meeting in Slovakia. Now when I wanted to make a use of it, I realized that searching for data items with/without a link to a specific wiki (i.e. an article in that language) does probably not work. Your own example http://208.80.153.172/api?q=link%5Bdewiki%5D%20and%20nolink%5Bfrwiki%5D delivers only an empty set.

I've been using Flickr2Commons quite a lot recently and plan to use it more in the next week or two, I have two questions:

2. Is there a way of retrying failed uploads from the transfer form? I've had a couple of situations with many tens of files and I get "Transfer failed : 500 Internal Server Error" and when I click to the transfer files button again it seems to not try the failed uploads again.

Hi Magnus, I am too fascinated by your neat work on the Wikidataquery and I want to build something on top of it. Problem is: I am as dumb as a rock and I cannot understand how to make nested queries using your API. So, your example of German bridges is easy: first you select everyhing that looks sort of a bridge and then you ask only for those in Germany or one of its parts. What if I want to obtain the list of all mayors of a capital? Here the result is a list of people, but the constraint is on the city they are mayor of. Do I need to get first the list of capitals and then get their mayors? If so, how? If not, is there a better strategy or is it not currently possible with the APIs? Thanks!

Thank you. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 20:04, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
Beim add-information wäre es sinnvoll eine Leerzeile zwischen der Lizenz und den folgenen Kategorien einzufügen. Der Quelltext liest sich besser. Das Tool nimmt irgendwie zwei Zeilen heraus. -- Atamari ( talk) 08:27, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
== {{int:license-header}} == oder == {{int:filedesc}} ==
wird regelmäßig
{{int:license-header}} == und {{int:filedesc}} ==

Gibt es Probleme mit dem Move-to-commons-Assistent? der Aufruf funktioniert schon den zweiten Tag nicht. Kann man die Probleme beheben? -- Atamari ( talk) 07:44, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
Hallo Magnus, seit einigen Tagen läuft der commonshelper nicht mehr. Kannst Du mal schauen woran es liegt. Danke und frohes Osterfest -- Knochen ﱢﻝﱢ 20:13, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
Just a notification to say [6] seems to be offline. Wasn't worth raising a full JIRA issue about. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 10:26, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm wondering if you can help me solve an encoding issue in MediaWiki:Wdsearch.js. Could you please take a look at MediaWiki talk:Wdsearch.js#encodeURIComponent? Whym ( talk) 13:16, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
I'm new to queries like this so would be glad for some help. I tried this query: BETWEEN[569,1850,1900] AND NOCLAIM[570] hoping to find people with birth dates between 1850 and 1900 who have no death date but it doesn't seem to work right. That is, I get results for people who have death dates. This query on the lists page: BETWEEN[569,,1900] AND NOCLAIM[570] doesn't return any results. What am I doing wrong? Thanks very much!

this doesn't tell me much Magnus. What is broken and how am i supposed to know an en.wp script is being used by reasonator ? Could have put that in the header at least. — TheDJ ( talk • contribs) 20:26, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Magnus, I'm using Catscan v2 to analyse all the files in a certain category. The fact that it allows you to filter upload date and includes details on usage is very useful. There seems to be a limit to the size of category it can handle, is there a way round this? Richard Nevell (WMUK) ( talk) 12:13, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi! ;) I wrote to you on jira. Can you tell me if you (or any other technician) could create tool like the one I described or not? Just want to know. Thanks, Tufor ( talk) 13:13, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
Hi Magnus,
I have been playing the "No Date" wikidata game for a while now, and i must say its one of the most addictive applications i came across in some time. I have a couple of suggestions though- three are related to date detection in specific languages and one is related to "generic" date detection. The content on the left of the arrow is the article's text, the content on the right a Google translation of the content.
The format marked as "GENERIC" fails to highlight the starting year if there is no space in front and after the dash (somewhat common issue). The lines marked with a language display specific-language dates where the month and day format does not seem to be recognized. Naturally this occasionally occurs in every language, but for these three languages the above date annotations seem to be the default format (Or at least a common variety). It would be rather convenient if some detection routine for the above could be added to this game. Thanks in advance for considering it! Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs) 23:59, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
I'm using processing (programming language) got get information (e.g. on nato countries) as JSON. I still find the API-documentation very hard to follow. I get a JSON list of the numbers of the 22 NATO members all right, but how can I ask for name and description and wikipedia-url of the countries (when I have their ID)? Something like .....api?q=claim[22] ? Do have entries like name and description also an ID? Where can I find a list of those?
It would be great if there could be an example with a comnplete url and not only bits and pieces - also a complete processing program would be great (I will submit mine here when I am done ;-) ) Thanks a ton! Following entry is not by me:
