2024-05-28: Wikidata Affinity Group Call Agenda
Coordinate Me 2024 (Spanish): An international Wikidata competition around geolocation content, from towns, hospitals, public art and natural monuments to improve or create Wikidata elements with a coordinate location (P625) in focus countries. Contest ends 31 May 2024.
Libraries using Wikidata: 11 examples - following on from the previous
post, this Diff blog highlights 11 projects where Libraries and Librarians are using Wikidata in their projects.
Enhancing KG's with LLM's: A novel approach to keyword extraction and synonym merging. This blog post shows an example of using a Wikidata subgraph with AI to discover new connections and relationships.
ParaNames 1.0: Creating an Entity Name Corpus for 400+ Languages Using Wikidata - ParaNames is a multilingual parallel name resource consisting of 140 million names spanning over 400 languages. Names are provided for 16.8 million entities, and each entity is mapped from a complex type hierarchy to a standard type (PER/LOC/ORG). Using Wikidata as a source, the authors created the largest resource of this type to date.
Wikipedia:WE-Framework: WE-Framework is a tool developed by Sergey Vladimirov that allows editing related Wikidata elements in an article without having to go to Wikidata. When you save your Wikidata edit, it will reference the utility in the edit summary.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
Wikimedia Deutschland is looking for a
machine learning project manager to make it easier to use Wikidata's data in machine learning settings.
taxon synonym of (taxon item (considered a preferred name according to a given reference) of which this taxon name is a synonym - the new property will be the inverse property of {{P|1420}})
protonym of (taxon item of which this taxon name is a protonym (original name, for zoological taxa) - inverse property of {{P|1403}})
replaced synonym of (taxon item which replaced this taxon name (now only a synonym) - inverse property of {{P|694}})
student count by gender (I think there should be a way to document the number of students at a university by their gender, as data for student counts (at least if they come from GENESIS Online - german universities) contain that data divided in male and female students. I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)

Recent changes
Several bugs related to the latest updates to the UploadWizard on Wikimedia Commons have been fixed. For more information, see
T365107 and
T365119.
In March 2024 a new
addPortlet API was added to allow gadgets to create new portlets (menus) in the skin. In certain skins this can be used to create dropdowns. Gadget developers are invited to try it and
give feedback.
Some CSS in the Minerva skin has been removed to enable easier community configuration. Interface editors should check the rendering on mobile devices for aspects related to the classes: .collapsible, .multicol, .reflist, .coordinates, .topicon.
Further details are available on replacement CSS if it is needed.
Changes later this week
The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 28 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 29 May. It will be on all wikis from 30 May (
calendar).
[1][2]
When you visit a wiki where you don't yet have a local account, local rules such as edit filters can sometimes prevent your account from being created. Starting this week, MediaWiki takes your global rights into account when evaluating whether you can override such local rules.

Thank you again to everyone who participated in this process and much appreciation to the candidates for your leadership and dedication to the Wikimedia movement and community.
Over the next few weeks, the U4C will begin meeting and planning the 2024-25 year in supporting the implementation and review of the UCoC and Enforcement Guidelines. Follow their work on
Meta-wiki.

That would be helpful. Though I think most of y'all use XFDcloser or something, I guess it requires so user groups/status. --
MikutoHtalk!03:28, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
Hey man im josh,
MikutoH, you can try
User:Qwerfjkl/scripts/massXFD.js. I haven't tested it much so I'd warn against really large nominations when you're not prepared to revert your edits. Let me know what you think, and how I could improve it, as well as any bugs you find. Particularly it could break MassCfD (don't use both scripts at once). Just wanted to get something out there instead of leaving you hanging. It should work fine, but undoubtedly they'll be at least a few bugs. —
Qwerfjkltalk17:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
It didn't work somehow. I use English Wikipedia in English but my edits acted as if it was in Portuguese, is it because of the language of my PC/browser? --
MikutoHtalk!23:35, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
┌─────────────────────────────────┘ MikutoH, the latter problem was fairly easy to fix - the script was adding the nominations in the wrong place, so every else using Twinkle added their newer nominations below (
e.g.). I'll have a look at the other issue. —
Qwerfjkltalk18:38, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
I've also fixed the issue of users not being notified. It was because they were idefinitely blocked, and the script skips notifying indefinitely blocked users. In this case, however, the block was only partial, so I've fixed the script accordingly. —
Qwerfjkltalk18:53, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
A possible improvement suggestion would be selecting redirects from "Page information" page like Cat-a-lot. Not sure if this would be too complex. --
MikutoHtalk!23:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
@
MikutoH I absolutely love that idea. It's absolutely one of the most common scenarios when you'd batch redirect nominations. Hopefully this won't be too tough an ask, because I'm quite hyped about the idea.
Hey man im josh (
talk)
00:27, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
It seems MassCFD has the same problem about browser language. And I tried submitting a merging MassXFD for categories and it simply don't go anywhere. --
MikutoHtalk!23:43, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
MikutoH, yes, I haven't updated MassCFD.js - you can use MassXFD instead, that should work. There was a bug in MassXFD where it essentially used an RfD check for CfD, which I fixed earlier and I've just updated the script for now. —
Qwerfjkltalk08:26, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
MikutoH, I've fixed the "marking it as today" issue; it's unreliable to parse sections so the script won't add them to the nomination automatically. —
Qwerfjkltalk12:53, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for being my mentor. I wanted to ask you if you have any contacts with admins? I edited some articles that were filled with propaganda, could you tell me if I did the correct thing? Some Kurds are deleting any non-Kurdish thing from city articles. --
FalitoMardinoyo47 (
talk)
14:01, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
FalitoMardinoyo47, I'd suggest discussing this with the editors who reverted you on their talk pages or the talk page of the article rather than repeatedly reverting them, which is known as
edit warring and is disruptive. Make sure you have reliable sources to back yourself up. —
Qwerfjkltalk17:03, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
I backed my changes with sources of international universities, but they got removed because of Kurdish propaganda. That's not acceptable.
FalitoMardinoyo47 (
talk)
19:36, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
FalitoMardinoyo47, on
Hakkâri (city) (history) you were initially reverted with the summary not appropriate to delete sourced information with that edit summary, and then again when you edit warred; see also the edit with the summary you are citing wiktionary and another dictionary for the word akkara, and then you relate it to the work Hakkari, where is the source evidencing that correction? Also please read

Hi Qwerfjkl! Just wanted to let you know that CFDlister has a bug in Vector2010 which prevents it from appearing. I am all but certain it is a result of the recent heading markup changes (
