Wikidata weekly summary #153
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
- Events/Blogs/Press
- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Build a RSS image feed based on a query
- Periodic table based on Wikidata data by Ricordisamoa
- ~8000 biographical items with dates in the description, but no birth/death date statements
- Magnus says ~8% (~1.4M) of all Wikidata items do not have any site links to Wikipedia etc.; knowledge that exists exclusively on Wikidata
- Bene* wrote a user script that adds a filter bar above the statement section and lets you filter it
- Magnus wrote a quick user script to move identifiers into the right sidebar to show how a statement section without identifiers would look like. This came up as part of a longer discussion on the mailinglist about moving identifier statements into their own section. Progress is being tracked at phabricator:T95287.
- Samsung releases Freebase-Wikidata mappings in CC0: 4.4M pairs generated from Wikipedia links and custom code
- Thanks to Bene* hovercards now also work for items and properties
- New tool by Magnus for Wikidata item labels
- Did you know?
- Newest properties: short name, list of episodes, named as
- New task forces: Star Wars, Open Access
- Development
- We are going to change the way value suggestions are ranked when entering a new statement. This will help with "male" and "female" not showing up among the top suggestions. Previously we ranked by number of sitelinks. We will change this to the maximum of sitelinks and labels. So if an item has labels in many languages but no sitelinks like "male" and "female" it will still show up high in the suggestions. (phabricator:T94404)
- Discussed how to move forward with identifiers. Outcome: They should get their own datatype. (phabricator:T95287)
- Implemented arbitrary access for the {{#property:…}} parser function. This can be invoked on the wikis that have arbitrary access enabled by using {{#property:P123|from=Q42}}. So far this is only Wikidata itself.
- Did further performance work on the client (Wikipedia and co) in preparation for arbitrary access
- Improved the performance of wbgetentities significantly when loading a large number of entities
- Wrote more browser tests for different datavalues
- Further work on RDF mapping and dumps
- Fixed in other language box showing old data (phabricator:T90893)
- Fixed language fallback on Special:Recent changes and Special:Contributions
- Added language fallback for the tooltip on badge icons
- Monthly Tasks
- Hack on one of these.
- Help fix these items which have been flagged using Wikidata - The Game.

- Map of French national parks
- Histropedia published 5 query generator spreadsheets

- Bene* created a new Special:ListProperties special page to list properties by data type

- Continued discussing and documenting future calendar model support
- Continued work on our RDF generator
- Continued work on usage tracking for labels on multilingual sites
