Wikidata weekly summary #611

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

Discussions

• New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)

Events

• Upcoming: The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 17th January 2024 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group. The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what they have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.
• Past
  • Provenance Loves Wiki (PLW24), Jan 12th - 14th, research and data on the origin of artworks and cultural heritage and how Wikibase and Wikidata can support this.

Wikidata weekly summary #626

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2024-05-06.
Translations are available.

Discussions

• Reminder: the period for feedback on the Wikidata Query Service graph split ruleset closes on 15-May-2024. More information here!

Events

• The Wikimedia Hackathon 2024 took place in Tallinn, Estonia. Wikimedians from all over came together to hack on a huge variety of topics, including Wikidata and Wikibase topics. See the entire Program
• International Museum Day 2024 on Wikimedia: Take part in the translation, media, and data challenges!
• Registration for Wiki Workshop 2024 is now open! The event will be virtually held on *June 20, 12:00-18:30 UTC
• Coordinate Me 2024 is an international Wikidata competition taking place over the month of May. This year, the focus is on enriching or creating Wikidata items with the Property: Coordinate Location (P625). To participate, enroll on the dashboard to ensure your edits are tracked.

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

• Papers: MisgenderMender - A community-informed approach to interventions of misgendering.
• Videos
  • Intro to Wikidata Query Service - hosted by User:Gnoeee, this comprehensive video will equip newcomers to Wikidata with the skills to effectively start querying Wikidata.
  • Siobhan Leachman, NZ Citizen Scientist and Wikipedian - CitSciOz23 Keynote Speaker, this prolific editor discusses her passions and workflows for contributing and enriching Wikidata on topics as diverse as women scientists, scientific illustrators, artworks and citation data, moths and more.
  • WikiSearch from Wikibase Data - Wout Geveart shows how the WikiSearch extension is using Wikibase data to explore and visualise the data in new ways.
  • WikimediaAPIs: a WM Technology Training Session - Mr. Neechalkaran of the WM Indic MediaWiki Developers Usergroup introduces the function and utility of WM projects APIs, including the REST AOI, the Wikidata API and more.

Tool of the week

• Wikidata periodic table - Tool by User:Ricordisamoa, to browse all chemical elements available on Wikidata, with atomic number, chemical symbol, and localized label. It also includes two charts of the nuclides, with links to every isotope in Wikidata, colored by half-life or decay mode.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13.

2024年第20期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。

最近更改

• 維基文庫有一個特殊頁面，會列出沒有掃描件的作品頁面列表。現在您可以使用新的魔術字__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__使該列表排除特定頁面（例如，作品的版本列表或譯文）。 [115]
• 現在，如果您在用户参数设置啟用「显示预览时不重新加载页面」，模板頁面功能「预览使用本模板的页面」也無需重新加载頁面。 [116]
• Kartographer地圖現在可以通过alt=屬性指定替代文本。其用法與图像和圖庫語法中的alt=屬性相同。此功能的例外是維基導遊等維基站點，這些站點的微型地圖是交互式的。 [117]
• 「新的編輯審核過濾器」功能的舊導覽已被移除。該導覽创建於2017年，旨在向擁有舊帳號的用户展示界面的變化，現在大多數目標用户已得知這一點。 [118]

本週更改

• MediaWiki的新版本將於5月14日部署至測試維基及MediaWiki.org，於5月15日部署至非維基百科wiki及部分維基百科，並於5月16日部署至所有站點（參見日程表）。 [119][120]
• Special:搜索結果頁面現在使用CSS flex屬性而非表格，以進一步落實無障礙。如果您有用於調整搜索結果的小工具或腳本，請更新該腳本以處理新的HTML結構。 [121]

未來更改

• 在Vector 2022皮肤中，主命名空間頁面將會以全屏寬度顯示（如同特殊頁面）。此舉的目標是確保每行容納的字符數足夠多。這與即將發生的Vector 2022排版設計更改有關。了解更多。 [122]
• pagelinks数据库表的兩個欄位（pl_namespace和pl_title）即將被刪除。使用者必須改用linktarget表格的兩個欄位（lt_namespace和lt_title）。在現有的SQL查詢中：
  1. 將ON语句中的JOIN pagelinks替換為JOIN linktarget，將pl_替換為lt_
  2. 在其下方添加JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
  • 參見phab:T222224以了解技術原因。 [123][124]

  • Camillo Carlo Pellizzari di San Girolamo, Storia della collaborazione tra Wikidata e le biblioteche della Rete URBE nel controllo di autorità. Abstract: "The contribution draws a history of the presence of the identifiers of the authority records of the URBE network libraries in Wikidata, and of the collaboration that has evolved since 2020 between the Wikidata community and the cataloguers of the URBE network libraries, relating to the harmonisation of these authority records with Wikidata and the improvement of the quality of the respective data. The first part of the contribution traces the main stages of collaboration in chronological order, while the second part of the contribution presents the main areas in which the collaboration materialises (or can materialise) in the daily authority work carried out by cataloguers in theme-based groupings".

2024年第29期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。

技術新聞調查

• 邀請您填寫這份簡短問卷調查，協助我們改善技術新聞。本次調查旨在更有效地滿足閱讀技術新聞的各類讀者的需求。本次調查還會開放3天。本次調查適用這份隱私聲明。本次調查提供其他語言的翻譯版本。

最近更改

• 維基媒體開發者現在可以正式繼續使用Gerrit和GitLab，基於維基媒體基金會於6月24日決定支持在這兩個平台共同進行軟體開發。Gerrit和GitLab皆是開發者用來編寫、審查和部署軟體代碼的代碼儲存庫，而這些代碼支撐著MediaWiki——用於建構維基專案，也是編輯者用於創建和改進內容的工具。這項決定將保障開發者們的生產力，並避免code review——代碼審查方面的問題影響用户。更多詳情請見遷移狀態頁面。
• 維基媒體基金會誠徵產品與技術諮詢委員會（PTAC）申請人。該小組將匯集技術貢獻者與維基媒體基金會，共同開發一個更具彈性、與時俱進的技術平台。委員會成員將對維基媒體運動的產品與技術活動進行評估與諮詢，以便我們開發多代的项目。我們正在尋找來自世界各地具有不同项目經驗的技術貢獻者。請於8月10日前在此申請。
• 持有回退權的編輯者可以在Android版維基百科App使用新的編輯巡查功能。這些功能包括最近更改的新動態、撤销和回退等相關链接，以及创建和保存個人的用户討論消息庫以供巡查時使用。如果您所在的wiki希望向沒有回退權但編輯次數達到一定門檻的用户提供這些功能，您可以聯絡團隊。更多關於此项目，請參閱Diff文章。
• 在基金會進行聯絡溝通後，有權访问維基百科圖書館的編輯者再度能使用SpringerLinks中的非開放访问內容。延伸閱讀上週完成的22個社群提交工單。

本週更改

• 本週，深色模式將供多個維基百科使用，無論桌面版或移动版，用户登录或未登录。敬請介面管理員和用户腳本維護人員在深色模式下檢查小工具和用户腳本，查找任何寫死的顏色並修復它們。有一些深色模式兼容性建議可供參考。

未來更改

• 下週，邀請工作人員、志願工具維護者和軟體開發團隊在測試維基上測試臨時帳號功能。臨時帳號功能有助於改善wiki上的隱私保護。目前未有其他進一步的部署安排。歡迎在项目討論頁發表意見和提出疑問。 [168]
• 邀請跨維基上傳文件或教導他人如此操作的編輯者，參與維基共享資源上的討論。共享資源社群正在討論將能夠通过跨維基上傳功能（或稱上傳對話框）上傳文件的用户，限縮為維基共享資源上的自动确认用户。這是因為通过這種方式上傳的文件大量侵犯了著作權。Commons:跨維基上傳有簡短摘要，討論位於Commons:互助客棧。

2024年第30期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。

功能週報

• 監管員現在可以對帳號實施全域封禁。在此更改之前，全域封禁僅能針對IP位址和IP範圍實施。不同於全域鎖定，全域帳號封禁不會將被封禁的用户登出。全域鎖定不受此更改影響。新的全域帳號封禁功能與臨時帳號项目有關，這種新型態的用户帳號用於取代未註冊編輯者的IP位址，使其不再公開可見。
• 本週稍晚，FlaggedRevs（標記修訂，又稱「待定更改」）的介面將得到改進，與MediaWiki的其他介面及維基媒體設計系統Codex保持一致。行動裝置和Minerva皮肤上的FlaggedRevs介面體驗原本與他處不一致，後經由Growth團隊和一些志願者修復並移植到Codex。 [169]
• 維基媒體網站用户現在可以通过GlobalVanishRequest提交帳號隱退請求。當貢獻者希望永遠停止編輯時，可以使用此功能。它可以幫您隱藏過去的關聯和編輯，以保護您的隱私。一旦處理完成，該帳號將被鎖定並重新命名。 [170]
• 您試過使用手機監控和應對維基百科中的破壞行為嗎？一篇關於行動應用程式中的巡查功能的Diff文章重點介紹了一些新功能，包括滑動瀏覽最近更改動態以及個人化的用户討論消息庫，供使用手機巡查時使用。
• 維基媒體貢獻者和GLAM機構（美術館、圖書館、檔案館及博物館）現在可以使用「共享資源影響力指標」分析面板，了解與衡量維基共享資源對於創建高品質百科全書內容的影響。該面板提供諸如分類每月編輯數、瀏覽量最高的文件、使用共享資源圖片的維基條目等方面的分析。有了這些新的數據轉儲，GLAM機構可以更精準衡量將內容引入數位共享資源的投資回報率。 [171]

项目近況

• 快來在嶄新重啟的社群願望清單分享您對改善維基的想法。社群願望清單是供志願者分享他們改善維基運作方式的想法（稱為願望）的維基媒體論壇。新版願望清單始終開放，wikitext和可视化编辑器皆可使用，並允許以任何語言提交願望。

增廣見聞

• 你有沒有想過維基媒體軟體如何支持300多種語言？這比Google Chrome的介面多了253種語言，而這絕非偶然。維基媒體基金會的語言與產品在地化團隊通过調整所有工具和介面，使其適應您的語言和其他語言，為您提供支持。閱讀Diff文章了解更多關於該團隊及其即將開展的工作。
• 維基媒體如何在維護如此頻繁使用的網站之時，同時建構創新和實驗性的產品？維基媒體基金會職員Johan Jönsson近期發表的一篇Diff文章，重點介紹了基金會的「未來受眾」計畫的工作，其目標不是建構完善的產品，而是測試新的想法，例如ChatGPT插件和「加入事實」等，幫助維基媒體走向未來。

2024年第31期技術新聞

維基媒體技術社群現在發布最新的技術新聞。請告知其他用户這些更改；不是所有的更改都會對您造成影響。技術新聞提供其他語言的翻译版本。

功能週報

• 在使用非西式數字的語言（例如印地語、曼尼普爾語和東阿拉伯語）的介面中，可视化编辑器中的參考編號格式有一些變化。這是子參考功能的準備工作帶來的副作用，並且將使可视化编辑器中的一些常規編號問題得以修復。如果您所在的wiki有發現任何相關問題，請在项目討論頁提供詳情。

錯誤狀態

• 上週，有一些已登录編輯者短暫無法編輯或加载頁面。這些錯誤主要是由於新增的linter規則導致缓存問題。問題已進行修復，調查仍在進行中。

• Phabricator有新功能和改進，由發布工程團隊和協作服務團隊以及一些志願者提供，這些包括：搜索系統、新工單创建系統、登录系統、翻譯设置——從而支持更多語言（感謝Pppery），以及許多邊緣案例錯誤的修復。閱讀所有改進的摘要。
• Chart项目有近況更新。團隊已決定使用哪個視覺化庫、開始聚焦於哪些Chart圖表類型、在哪裡儲存Chart圖表定義。
• 一個新的維基已创建： 捷克語维基导游 (voy:cs:) [172]
