Wikidata weekly summary #367
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Past: Wikidata workshop, May 27th at UIN Maliki, Malang, Indonesia (in collaboration with Faculty of Computer Science, UI) -
Slideset link -
Press release
Blogpost by RightStatements.org - a system of standardised interoperable rights and reuse information for GLAMs - describing the role and importance of the property
P6426.
At WikiWoordenboek (Dutch wiktionary)
a project titled Widawiwo has begun to explore how the maximal mutual benefit of Wikidata and WikiWoordenboek can be achieved.
Scale the machine learning components of the WDCM system w. {text2vec} WarpLDA implementation (
phab:T203366)
Inspect strange behavior of the WD_percentUsageDashboard (
phab:T217994)
WDCM dashboards maintenance: eliminating the need to use the wdcm.maintable in Hive, WDCM Geo is now independent of it (with its update engine running Spark instead) and re-designed to match the WDCM standards (
phab:T217994,
phab:T214586,
phab:T217997)
Further preparations for the Wikidata Languages Landscape project (
phab:T221965)
More progress in order to get the mobile service deployed
Adding an IP edit warning popup for mobile termbox (
phab:T221831)
Allowing users to ignore this popup permanently (
phab:T221833)
Regarding your edit at
WT:TV-NC, I completely agree, which is one of the reasons I opposed the change. It's created a whole lot of work for no reason. --

AussieLegend: Unfortunately, reversing it doesn't seem likely right now, maybe it's something that can be corrected back again in a year or so (with a lot more work)... Thanks.

The CSD feature of
Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion. You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your
Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution! The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.
Miscellaneous
The
previously discussed unblocking of IP addresses indefinitely-blocked before 2009 was
approved and has taken place.
In a related matter, the account throttle has been restored to six creations per day as the
mitigation activity completed.
The scope of
CSD criterion G8 has
been tightened such that the only redirects that it now applies to are those which target non-existent pages.
The scope of
CSD criterion G14 has
been expanded slightly to include orphan "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects that target pages that are not disambiguation pages or pages that perform a disambiguation-like function (such as set index articles or lists).
The Wikimedia Foundation's
Community health initiative plans to design and build a
new user reporting system to make it easier for people experiencing harassment and other forms of abuse to provide accurate information to the appropriate channel for action to be taken. Community feedback is invited.
Miscellaneous
In February 2019, the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF)
changed its office actions policy to include temporary and project-specific bans. The WMF exercised this new ability for the first time on the English Wikipedia on 10 June 2019 to temporarily ban and desysop Fram. This action has resulted in
significant community discussion, a
request for arbitration (
permalink), and, either directly or indirectly, the resignations of numerous administrators and functionaries. The WMF Board of Trustees is aware of the situation, and discussions continue on a statement and a way forward. The Arbitration Committee has sent an
open letter to the WMF Board.
Hi Mike. I won't be going to Stockholm most unfortunately, because I really can't afford $3,000 just for 5 days in the far north of Europe. I'll leave that trip to the Europeans and the 70-strong WMF junket. But next year Wikimania is right on my doorstep. I hope you will be able to come. I will be making absolutely sure that my friends who are able to come will have a great time. Regards, Chris.

Kudpung: Congratulations on hosting it, and I hope it all goes well! I have the same problems as you but in reverse for 2020 ... I'll see if I can make it, but it probably will depend on if I can get a partial scholarship or something. Thanks.
