Wikidata weekly summary #455

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Discussions
  • Other: Tool ideas/ImproveWikidata

• Events
  • Past: Linked Open Storytelling - Winter School 2021 - Fellow-Programm Freies Wissen (in German) (reply on YouTube)
  • Upcoming: SPARQL queries live on Twitch and in French by Vigneron, February 16 at 18:00 CET

  • Video: Wikidata editing #31 Free Software Day - YouTube, Facebook
  • Video: Knowledge Graphs for AI: Wikidata and beyond - YouTube

• Tool of the week
  • UseAsRef script allows you to add references to statements using one external ID as source (see User:Bargioni/UseAsRef and this YouTube video for more information)

• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Abstract Wikipedia presents prototypes of two tools that could help people to visualize, exemplify, and better guide our understanding of the coverage of lexicographic data in Wikidata.
  • Public Domain Tool, developed by the Flemish Institute for Archives automates the process of determining whether their collection items could be in the public domain.
  • Sizes of country items (like "Portugal" (Q45)) were recently reduced by 30% to 50% by moving a few economics properties to "economy of"-items (sample: "economy of Portugal" (Q1649355)). The item "economy of Portugal" is currently larger than "Portugal". This can simplify uses of country items that previously timed-out. Infoboxes can still access the properties with the link through "economy of topic" (P8744).
  • Later this week, the development team will enable a rate limit for assigning new item IDs. Bots and users who successfully create items should notice no change, since the rate limit is equal to the existing limit on all edits. However, bots that often fail to create items may start to see different error messages than usual. This will hopefully reduce the problem of skipped item IDs.
  • Guidelines and compensation for UX research lead by Wikimedia Germany (announcement)

• Did you know?
  • Newest properties:
    • General datatypes: service status information URL, first family name in Portuguese name, time played, coordinates of depicted place

    • External identifiers: Lexikon Literatur in Tirol, Danmarks Adresseregister named street ID, Baidu Baike ID (2), Kickstarter username, Protagonisti della storia delle scienze della mente ID, Curling.fi player ID, RILM ID, Swiss vote ID, svoyak.info player ID, Germanistenverzeichnis, Svenska Institutet i Rom ID, CinemaRx title ID, Sinemalar title ID, English Placenames MADS ID, Armenian Book ID, identifiant inventaire Occitanie, AaRC title ID, Biblioteca Iglesia Nacional Española en Roma ID, BFS ID, Dizionario biografico online degli anarchici italiani ID, JedeSchule.de ID, bashenc.online ID, Svoya Igra television player ID, Wisconsin Architecture and History Inventory ID

  • Improved the deployment process for the Query Service UI to make it easier to deploy
  • Fixed language code "dag" for Dagbani not working for Lemmas for Lexemes (phab:T272242)
  • Fixing the bug where the Property selector is not falling back from language variant to major language for Property labels (phab:T272712)
  • Adding a rate limit for creating Item IDs to avoid skipping so many due to misbehaving bots (phab:T272032)
  • Fixed the case where no error was shown when trying to save a lemma with an invalid language code (phab:T265783)
  • Fixed a but where merging two Lexemes fails if the source Lexeme has links to its own Senses (phab:T273830)
  • Increasing the rate of edits that trigger a check by the constraint checker to 50%. This will increase the number of constraints violations that you can query in the Query Service. (phab:T204031)
  • Making it possible to add interwiki links to/from Multilingual Wikisource (phab:T138332)

Demande de requête SPARQL

Bonjour, J'aurais aimé avoir une requête SPARQL, similaire à Utilisateur:MatSuBot/Duplicates, requête qui m'a permis de traiter plusieurs doublons de wp:fr qui existent sur wikidata, mais utilisant la propriété d:Property:P460 (et peut-être aussi d:Property:P2959, mais je m'y perd dans ces propriétés). Je crois que la requête actuelle ne l'utilise pas mais utilise juste d:Q17362920. C'est, je crois, une demande assez simple, mais SPARQL, je n'y arrive pas. Je notifie au passage  Simon Villeneuve : et  VIGNERON :, peut être ils répondrons à ma demande. Merci. Nouill 20 février 2021 à 18:23 (CET)

Bonjour @Nouill,

Pourrais-tu préciser ce que tu attends exactement. En attendant, à partir de ton exemple, j’ai fait un premier essai : liste de paires d'élément Wikidata lié par d:Property:P460.

SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?other {
  BIND( <https://fr.wikipedia.org/> AS ?wiki ) .
  ?item wdt:P460 ?other ;
        ^schema:about [ schema:isPartOf ?wiki; schema:name ?page ] .
  ?other ^schema:about/schema:isPartOf ?wiki1 .
  FILTER( SAMETERM( ?wiki, ?wiki1 ) ) .
} ORDER BY ?page LIMIT 5

Cliquez pour essayer !

Cdlt, Vigneron * ^discut. 20 février 2021 à 18:52 (CET)

Oui, c'est une requête comme celle-ci que je chercherais. Merci. Nouill 20 février 2021 à 19:33 (CET)

salut  VIGNERON :. Il y a une raison pour laquelle tu utilises « sameterm » et pas simplement

SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?other {
  BIND( <https://fr.wikipedia.org/> AS ?wiki ) .
  ?item wdt:P460 ?other ;
        ^schema:about [ schema:isPartOf ?wiki; schema:name ?page ] .
  ?other ^schema:about/schema:isPartOf ?wiki .
} ORDER BY ?page LIMIT 5

Cliquez pour essayer ! ? C’est peut-être pour tromper l’optimiseur qui n’a pas l’air d’aimer la deuxième forme remarque, ça termine pas — TomT0m ^[bla] 20 février 2021 à 22:16 (CET)

@TomT0m non aucune pas de raison particulière, j'ai juste procédé par copier-coller de l’exemple donné sans spécialement y réfléchir. Cdlt, Vigneron * ^discut. 20 février 2021 à 22:42 (CET)

Utilisation du Modèle:Liste des dirigeants successifs

Bonjour, le modèle indiqué en titre constitue automatiquement un tableau de donnée dans des pages Wikipedia en extrayant des données de Wikidata. Ceci est-il conforme aux prises de décision sur l'utilisation de Wikidata, pour Wikipedia en langue française ? De plus, lorsqu'une page sur un de ces dirigeants est supprimée (suite par exemple à une PaS), la déwikification devient avec ce type de modèle plus complexe : ce point a-t-il été vu et qu'est-il proposé ? --HenriDavel (discuter) 17 mars 2021 à 20:35 (CET)
