We now have a central repository for
wikibase-cli templates, with the aim to document best practices, offer general purpose request/create/edit templates, but also offer more niche templates as examples of what's possible: contributions and template requests welcome!
Simple Query Builder development continues. We worked on combining different query conditions as well as internationalisation.
Making the precision translatable in geocoordinate and date inputs (
phab:T269102)
Changes to descriptions in a specific language now show up on watchlist and recent changes on the Wikipedia and co for that language (
phab:T191831)
Finished working on the problem of incorrectly-escaped label being included in a link to Special:NewItem if there are no search results (
phab:T263258)
Investigating why we're currently skipping a significant number of Item IDs (
phab:T268625)
Wikibase Release Strategy/Infrastructure: We have decided where to host future Docker and tarball releases of Wikibase. You can read about the details and the reasoning in the following ADRs:
Docker Image Repository,
Tarball Repository
Template:Notebook Given name is a new template which gives for each given name a list of useful SPARQL queries. The template can be used on the talk page of given names. See
Alexandre (Q16002466) for an example. Comments are Contributions are welcome.
The
next Wikibase live session is 16:00 UTC on Thursday 17 December 2020
(Add to calendar). We will have a few people share out about their project in the first half of the call and then continue our conversation from the last session about what will be a better platform for community discussions. Everyone is welcome to attend!
We spend the week doing some exploratory work for the next year. Among other things we looked into how to measure the number of constraint violations on an average Item and what we can learn from it.
Continuing to work on the query builder. It can now have more than one query conditions. One of the next steps is making it possible to query for Item values. You can follow along on the
demo system.
Finished working on the problem of values of Statements that link to Forms and Senses not having language attributes associated with them in the HTML code (
phab:T267023)
Fixed language selectors covering other input fields when using keyboard navigation for Special:NewItem and Special:NewLexeme (
phab:T266638)
Fixed language fallback indicators sometimes still shown for variant fallbacks (
phab:T267502)
Working on whitespace stripped while typing when editing lexemes (
phab:T250550)
Ongoing:
rC3 (remote Chaos Communication Congress). Several Wikidata-related talks and meetups happening on December 27th, 28th and 29th: introduction to Wikidata, Wikidata for datajournalists, Wikidata meetups in German and English, and a Query Service workshop. (see
Wikipaka schedule for more details)
Project Grants open call for proposals in 2021. Changes in the review process for Project Grants in 2021; the open call for community organizing proposals will be from January 11 to February 10 and the open call for software and research proposals will be from February 15 to March 16.

Tool of the week
QueryGraph is a web tool for creating queries in SPARQL from graphs.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
Wikibase now has a dedicated Twitter account: Follow
@WikibaseHQ for updates on everything Wikibase.
You can now create and curate catalog groups on
Mix’n’match, and find the most common unmatched entries between them (

Continued working on the Query Builder. We focused on making it possible to query for Item values and being able to limit the number of Items in the result. We also looked into how to query for quantity values.
Changed P920’s data type from string to external identifier (
phab:T269205)
Finished working on the problem of Items that have the page prop wikibase:statements set to 0 but actually do have statements (
phab:T145712)
Continued work on the “Publishing” step of the Wikibase release pipeline by building and testing three components of the software suite: Wikibase (
phab: T267893), Query Service frontend (
phab:T268025), and Query Service backend (
phab:T268022)
Continued working on the Query Builder. We continued to set up tracking for the number of queries that result in an error, timeout, etc. (
phab:T269224). We als made it possible to query for Item values (
phab:T268814). You can always try the current state on the
test system.
Finished fixing an issue with whitespace being stripped while typing when editing Lexemes (
phab:T250550)
Worked on no error being shown when trying to save Lemma with invalid language code (
phab:T265783)
Working on using Special:MyLanguage feature for more links in the Wikidata Query Service interface to redirect people to documentation in their language (
phab:T267656)
Continued interviewing people to better understand how to best compare Wikidata's data against other databases in order to find mismatches that need the editors' attention

Upcoming: Next Linked Data for Libraries
LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call: Wikibase, the Integrated Authority File (GND) pilot at the German National Library, and the WikiLibrary Manifesto, 26 January.
Agenda
Continued working on the Query Builder: made it possible to limit the number of results in the result set, made it possible to include results from subclasses when querying for Item values, worked on negating queries and started on sharing of queries via URL. As always you can try the current state on the
test system.
Making links in the Query Service redirect to the proper translations of their pages on-wiki by using Special:MyLanguage redirects (
phab:T267656)
Working on fixing an issue with displaying large numbers for quantity values (
phab:T268456)
Fixed a case where no error message was shown when trying to save a Lemma with an invalid language code (
phab:T265783)
Talked to a few more people about checking Wikidata's data against other databases to find potential errors
Continuing the Release Strategy project for Wikibase, with the following progress:
Created a “release pipeline” for Wikibase extension (
phab:T267627)
Created MediaWiki docker images based off release branches (
phab:T270133)
Defined format and contents of Wikibase suite components not maintained by Wikimedia Germany (
