Molim Vas da glavni naslov odrednice "Mjerna nesigurnost" vratite na "Merna nesigurnost". Ceo tekst odrenice je ekavica, pa radi doslednosti treba takav da bude i glavni naslov. Unapred hvala.
Oprosti, ali što radiš s ovim imenima? Nismo ni Rusi ni Mađari pa da pišemo imena kao i oni? :/ --Biljezim se sa štovanjem,Poe 00:40, 23 jun-липањ 2015 (CEST)
Da, očito je došlo do nesporazuma ili dovođenja situacije do apsurda. Naravno da ne koristimo strana pravila nomenklature (Mađarska, Japan, Rusija, ...), međutim pišemo imena kako se pišu tamo. Dakle, neće ići Leh Valensa nego Lech Wałęsa, ali ostaje činjenica da će Lajos Kossuth i Fjodor Dostojevski i Hidetoshi Nakata... biti pisani tako :) --Biljezim se sa štovanjem,Poe 00:54, 23 jun-липањ 2015 (CEST)
Naravno da se poštuje pravopisna i leksička struktura srpskohrvatskog jezika. Kod nas se ne piše prvo prezime pa ime i to se poštuje jer je takav pravopis našega jezika. S druge strane, specifična slova i akcenti na pojedinim slovima nisu stvar pravopisa, već širine abecede. Ovo što si ti izveo je dovođenje situacije do apsurda i potpuno izokretanje pravila koje je usvojeno (onda isto tako uredno možemo pisati nazive članaka na hebrejskom, japanskom, hindiju i ostalim jezicima koji nemaju ista pisma, a da bi tako apsurdno tumečenje pravila imalo smisla). Mislim, lijep pokušaj, ali djeluje mi promašeno. No, da ne bi bilo previše rasprave sada ovdje jer bi ovo moglo otići u neželjenom smjeru - kao i svatko dosad, slobodan si pokrenuti raspravu po ovom pitanju da se postigne konsenzus (naravno, s obzirom na uspjeh ranijih, trebat će ti dosta sreće u postizanju tog konsenzusa), a dotad bi bilo uputno da se primjenjuje nepisana praksa koju poštuju, koliko me memorija služi, svi --Biljezim se sa štovanjem,Poe 01:13, 23 jun-липањ 2015 (CEST)
"Pravila" i drugo
Želim nešto razjasniti ne samo za ovu ovu "svađu" nego i cjelokupnu situaciju zadnjih par mjeseci. Svaki put kad se priča o tebi i tvojim doprinosima ovdje, bilo da je riječ o engleskim biografijama, italijanskim naseljima, šablonima, kategorijama ili nečem drugom, uvijek se sve svodi na greške, greške i greške. Opaske tako dolaze od mene, Edgara, Viteka, itd. Po tome nažalost ispada da si loš i nekonstruktivan, da samo radiš negativne stvari, da bi brojni ovdje željeli da te najradije nema. Meni je to već postalo iritantno i zato ti ovo sve pišem da budemo načisto – ti istina radiš na stotine i stotine grešaka, ali u odnosu na stotine hiljada doprinosa to je jedno veliko ništa. Greške ti se broje u promilima, kao i kod recimo Rippera, Edgara, itd. Činjenično stanje jest takvo da si se i ove i prošle godine pokazao kao daleko najbolji korisnik projekta, bilo po produktivnosti, kvaliteti članaka i tehničkoj potkovanosti. Stoga, molim te nemoj ni u ludilu misliti da će se takav moj stav promijeniti ako redovno prigovaram ili ispravljam nekih 0,0...1% grešaka koje radiš. :) Ako si slučajno moje prigovore protumačio drugačije, otvoreno se izvinjavam zbog nesporazuma.
Što se tiče Pristlija kao specifičnog slučaja, mogao si primjetiti da smo i ja, Ripper i Edgar redovno prebacivali fonetizirana imena na izvornike, sve po pravilima koja su doduše interna. Međutim, ta pravila vrijede samo za naslove i kategorije, unutarni sadržaj se ne dira i stvar je subjektivnog izbora. Kod nelatiničnih slučajeva složili smo se da se favorizira fonetizacija, tako da bi bilo bolje da su npr. jemenska naselja koja si nedavno nanizao u takvom obliku. Opet, nije riječ o grešci jer ne može se od korisnika tražiti da nauči arapski i prevodi, tu vrijedi "bolje išta nego ništa". Ne znam jesi li vidio ali Bokica je jednom predložio da čitav projekt fonetizira jer bi tako bilo lakše implementirati ono preslovljavanje na ćirilicu. Ipak, to opet mora proći glasovanje i lavovski posao prebacivanja desetina hiljada članaka, ali nije ako je to cijena za dvoazbučnost moj će glas definitivno biti "za". Toliko za ovaj put, živio! --Orijentolog (razgovor) 10:51, 23 jun-липањ 2015 (CEST)
Izmjena naslova
Pozdrav Dcirovicu,
pošto ti imaš alate, molim te, bi li mi mogao promijeniti naslov članka "La Orana Maria" u "Ia Orana Maria"? Učinio sam tipkarsku grešku. Hvala.--Wolmar (razgovor) 01:10, 28 jun-липањ 2015 (CEST)
Wikidata weekly summary #164
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Upcoming: Wikimania. There will be several talks and workshops related to Wikidata. Say hi at the "Ask Us Anything" session for Wikidata if you're there.
Machine readable versions (in various formats) of Wikibase entities will be advertised in their page heads as alternate link. (phabricator:T96298)
Fixed property label on item pages not scrolling anymore (phabricator:T94588)
More work on getting the Wikibase Quality extensions ready for release. The part doing constraint violation checks should go to test.wikidata.org next week. The part doing checks against 3rd party databases will still take a bit longer but is also shaping up nicely.
Made it possible to create items even when another user is mass-creating items (phabricator:T103796)
Bene* worked more on making Wikidata work nicely on mobile
Fixed weird issue with cursor jumping around in sitelink input field (phabricator:T103489)
Fixed an issue where it was not possible to edit a statement after you removed its only reference (phabricator:T103603)
Lydia will be traveling for much of July. Expect her to be a bit less responsive during that time.
Upcoming: Wikimania. There will be several talks and workshops related to Wikidata. Say hi at the "Ask Us Anything" session for Wikidata if you're there.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
A new database report lists people categorized as dead in Wikipedia, but lacking Property:P570 (date of death). It's updated several times during the day. There are about 20 to 30 new entries each day. There is currently some backlog from the Arabic, Marathi, and Thai Wikipedias. Items updated first in Wikidata wont appear in the report. They are listed directly in Wikidata's recent deaths report.
Kao prvo poštovani kolega želim Vam čestitati - što ste ovu wiki doveli na prvo mjesto ex yu wikija sa preko 425 000 članaka. Ali ima jedan mali problem, vaš bot radi i katastrofalne greške, - pogledajte ih i sami kod članka portico, koji je tako iskreiran. Kao prvo izbio je ispravan link sa en wiki portico na naš postojeći članak portik - umjesto na stranicu Portico (disambiguation). Kao drugo ne radi se o naseljima, već o kvartovima (frazione) slijedećih naselja (odnosno općina);
Hajde de ovo se može širokogrudno protumačiti, da su i to naselja (zaseoci) - tih mjesta, ali ih je onda trebalo bar navesti. Te kvartove nemaju ni Talijani, ali kad ih već imamo - još da je sve točno - bog i šeširdžija.
PS Ovo sama zaboravio dodati - u načelu se i ja slažem sa kolegom Orijetologom, - Vaš doprinos je neusporedivo značajniji od svih grešaka koje proizvodite.
Attending Wikimania 2015 in Mexico City right now, meeting awesome people that already use or want to know everything about Wikidata.
After the next deployment, redirects will be automatically created when merging items.
Special:UnconnectedPages can now be queried via the query API, thanks to Ladsgroup.
Migrating away from an older serializer to the DataModel Serialization component.
Worked on a new time parser that can parse formats like M/D/Y, Y M D and so on.
Fixed a bug where a value could not be edited when save failed.
Made the snak type, badge and rank selectors position themselves after resizing the browser window and introduced a possibility to collapse the sitelinks sections.
Worked on a change in editing to be able to edit a statement and it’s references in one step.
[1] Obrisi ovo za potrebe tehnickih promena na pojektu. --Kolega2357 (razgovor) 23:40, 23 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Hoces li prestati da se pravis Englez? Zasto to ne uradis kada ti lepo kazem? --Kolega2357 (razgovor) 23:52, 23 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Gomilanje prava
Dcirovicu tvoje ignorisanje je premasilo svaku meru nije mi jasno zasto bespotrebno gomilas prava? [2] Na ovom nalogu ti je dovoljna samo bot zastavica. --Kolega2357 (razgovor) 14:04, 24 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Po cemu sam ja to drzak, napadan i bezobrazan? Jel zato sto ti zdravorazumski nesta kazem? Nemoj da prebacujes svoje osobine drugom molim te. Da gomilas prava gomilas ih. Ako je neki nalog bot nalog onda treba da ima bot zastavicu i to je to a ne vidim razlog zasto treba da ima autopatoler i flood flag zastavicu kada u pravima za bota ima i jedno i drugo. Shvati ovo kao najbolju nameru. --Kolega2357 (razgovor) 14:09, 24 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Komunikacija
Gospodo, molit ću lijepo, komunikacija na ovakvoj razini ne samo da nije primjerena jednom administratoru već nije primjerena ni bilo kakvom civiliziranom diskursu među obrazovanim ljudima. Kolegino pitanje možda, naglašavam to možda, nije bilo na mjestu jer on nije tu da to preispituje, međutim tvoje optuživanje i bezobrazne replike su jednako neumjesne u ovoj situaciji. Molit ću lijepo da situacija dalje ne eskalira i da se ovakvi ispadi, ravni kafanskih rasprava, neće ponoviti. Hvala --Biljezim se sa štovanjem,Poe 17:32, 24 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Razgovor
Prema pravilima ove Wikipedije, osim ako se radi o arhiviranju ili doista uvredljivom sadržaju ili onom koji otkriva neželjene podatke, uklanjanje sadržaja sa stranice za razgovor nije dozvoljeno --Biljezim se sa štovanjem,Poe 17:38, 24 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Da, ali ovdje je praksa takva da se sadržaj uklanja samo u slučaju uvreda, otkrivanja osobnih podataka ili arhiviranja. Takvo je pravilo i praksa da se ne bi moralo kopati po stranicama za razgovor, odnosnoa izmjenama da se pronađe konkretni tekst --Biljezim se sa štovanjem,Poe 17:58, 24 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Ne znam je li pod 'vi' misliš na mene, ili pak na cijelu ovu zajednicu koja se dosljedno pridržava tog pravila... To nije izmišljeno pravilo, već ono postoji i ono se primjenjuje. Interesantno kako je ono kod nekih sporno samo kad ih se upozori, a kad im se nešto drugo piše, onda nitko nije sklon mijenjanju --Biljezim se sa štovanjem,Poe 18:09, 24 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Ajde neka sam i ja agresivan. Svakako, pojedine Wikipedije mogu imati svoju verziju pravila pa je tako slučaj i ovdje. Mislim da je Igor jednom na Pijaci potvrdio da je pronašao da to stoji kao pravilo (ne mogu sada naći, istina, ali ako uspiješ pronaći suprotno od toga, ja ću se povući iz ove diskusije), a svakako postoji kao praksa tako da, ništa ja nisam ni izmislio, ni opravdavao --Biljezim se sa štovanjem,Poe 18:27, 24 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Ubacujem se ovde i zbog toga se izvinjavam, ali je vazno. Kolega Edgare, ne postoji kao praksa kod nas, to je iluzija. --Biblbroks (razgovor) 18:30, 24 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Ja znam da se svako brisanje takvog sadržaja dosad revertalo, a to je definicija prakse --Biljezim se sa štovanjem,Poe 18:32, 24 jul-српањ 2015 (CEST)
Wikidata weekly summary #168
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Missing interwiki links for your bot-generated articles
Hello. Thank you a lot for your contribution in wikipedia ! You have created by bot a lot of articles about settlements. But huge amount of them already has item in wikidata and yours were not linked. For example:
Made some small changes to the style of the edit warning and sitelinks so they are easier to notice and understand
Added error messages for Special:GoToLinkedPage and Special:ItemByTitle so you get a useful message in case no result is found
The Entity Selector now displays alias in brackets behind label
The number of entities loaded via the ((#property:…)) parser function and via Lua will be reported in the “Parser profiling data” (which can be found below a page preview or within the Html of a page)
Prepared for next rounds of arbitrary access rollout
Investigated growing lag of dispatching of changes to Wikipedia and co. We'll need to investigate further and change things so the lag between an edit on Wikidata and it being send to the Wikipedias and other projects is not too high.
Added the property ID to Special:ListProperties
Moved two extensions (Wikidata.org and WikimediaBadges) from Github to Gerrit. More will follow.
You have a bunch of names etc. and want to find Wikidata items with those labels/aliases? Try relabel!
SourcererBot is adding lots of references to existing statements on several thousand items.
Mix-n-Match has new catalogs including the National Library of Australia.
Deaths at Wikipedia are a series of reports comparing items at Wikidata with death-by-year-categories of Wikipedia. For the years since 2000, only about 15% of items at Wikidata lack d:Property:P570 (date of death).
Soon the edit summary for edits through the API will also contain the automatic edit summary that you are used to for edits done through the website. The summary given by the API user will be appended to the automatic summary. (phabricator:T97247)
Addressed performance issues in usage tracking updates and had to delay the latest round of rollouts because of it
Fixed a bug where suggestions would show up twice in item and property selectors (phabricator:T109697)
Improved performance of the mw.wikibase.sitelink Lua method
Made final changes so we can redirect mobile users to the mobile version by default
Evaluated the remaining steps to get the extension deployed that lets you do checks against 3rd party databases. Not much left it seems and we'll tackle that in one of the next sprints. Getting the new features deployed for the constraints checks will still take a bit longer.
More work on making the edit summaries in the watchlist on Wikipedia and co more meaningful
Optimized Wikidata for viewing on mobile devices. You will be redirected to m.wikidata.org automatically when using a mobile device soon the same way it already happens on Wikipedia. (Editing will only be possible via the special pages!)
API custom summary will no longer override the autocomment (phabricator:T97247)
Paging and sorting has been added to Special:ListProperties and it now also shows the IDs of the properties
Worked more on making the edit summaries on the client more meaningful and readable
Introduced a limit of 250 different entities that can be used on a page in the client via arbitrary access. The limit does not apply to convenience functions in lua, such as mw.wikibase.label which use a TermLookup instead of loading a full entity to get labels. (phabricator:T93885)
Stalagmites and stalactites visualizes items without statements, items with statements, and deleted/redirected items by batches of 100,000 QIDs
Mix n Match is now available for mobile, has an improved automatic matching algorithm, got speed improvements and new catalogs were added like the National Gallery of Victoria, World Heritage Sites and CulturaItalia
Matched birth and death days seeks to investigate all pairs of humans (in various subsets) that appear to have the same birth dates and death dates. De-duplication underway!
You can now use the new special page Special:PagesWithBadges to see which articles on that project have a badge like "featured article".
Release of the query service and unit support (see above)
Made quantities not show URIs when editing a value but instead show the label
Worked on new datatype for identifiers to be able to split them from the other statements in the user interface, link them without the need for the authority control gadget and be able to link them in JSON/RDF
Worked more on making the edit summaries in the watchlist on Wikipedia and co more meaningful
A follow-up to the Wikidata for research proposal has begun to be drafted by the University of Haifa and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin
Community page for the new SPARQL query service, including a subpage for interesting or illustrative queries, and a board for suggestions and discussions.
Discussion has started on English WikiProject Football about using Wikidata for player squad templates (example) and player club history (example). Needs more input on best practices and commitment to update data.
You'll now get redirected to the mobile view automatically on mobile devices (example)
Made it possible to use more entities on a page via Lua without running into Lua's memory limit
Added the Article Placeholder extension’s results to the search result page (this is one of a few remaining blockers before we can put it on a testsystem for you to try out and give feedback)
Added option to create a new article from Article Placeholder
More work on the new datatype for properties
More work on making meaningful edit summaries on the client. Found a few remaining bugs during testing.
Finished the create article button for the ArticlePlaceholder page
From Monday on a bzip2 compressed version of the beta Wikidata TTL dumps will be published along the gzip one
Getting close to make it possible to add the main value of a statement and its reference at the same time
Worked on adding a new section to item and property pages for identifiers
Did backend work for making identifiers useful in our machine-readable outputs (by actually linking them instead of just giving the identifier string) - more work needed
Fixed a bug where dates would have English months on non-English wikis (phabricator:T116503)
query.wikidata.org now more prominently shows example queries in case you missed them before, lets you filter and gives you a preview for them. Additionally you can click a little magnifying glass next to an item ID in a query result and explore it further.
<3 Thanks for being awesome. Enjoy the holidays :)
We will take the "in other projects"-sidebar out of beta features in January (phabricator:T103102)
Making ranking information like label and statement counts available to the CirrusSearch index in order to improve ranking in search results (phabricator:T110648)
Continued work on the identifier data type for identifiers like VIAF and ISBN so we can easily put them into a separate section in the items and properly link them in the exports (phabricator:T95682, phabricator:T121274)
Continued work on making external identifiers clickable links without the help of the authority control gadget (phabricator:T95684)
Fixed a mistake in the set reference API documentation (gerrit:259171)
Students worked on new datatype to capture mathematical expressions (phabricator:T67397)
Updated property suggester data to give you more up-to-date suggestions when adding new statements
Pages in the module namespace now also get interwiki links (phabricator:T123234)
Reduced number of resource loader modules to improve performance (phabricator:T123233)
Started experimenting with showing an image in the header area (phabricator:T119493)
Fixed a bug where the query text would be moved off the screen on the query service website (phabricator:T120196)
Worked on the remaining blocker for taking the in other projects sidebar out of beta. We need to link to the Commons category and not gallery for articles without frying the servers (phabricator:T94989)
Changes in how authentication in MediaWiki is handled are being rolled out (and more coming). [5] Ordinary users and gadgets / user scripts should not be affected but bots may need to be adjusted. pywikibot already supports [6] OAuth authentication, though bot operators need to set that up for their bot.
Investigated language support in MediaWiki and Wikibase to allow more languages in monolingual text and disallow some non-sense for label/descriptions/aliases (phabricator:T78006)
Fixed missing license info and broken links for Wikibase libraries on Special:Version
Working on improving scoring of search results on Wikidata, on Special:Search
Preparing to take the "in other projects" sidebar out of beta features, with the Wikimedia Commons link going to the Commons category (phabricator:T103102, phabricator:T94989)
Amir and Aaron are turning ORES into an extension to make it easier for you to spot bad edits \o/
Final touches on putting identifiers into their own section (phabricator:T117421)
Switching the in other languages box to be expanded by default for new people (phabricator:T92387)
More experimenting with adding an image to the header area (phabricator:T119493)
Last call for comments on the new process for showcase items at d:User:Harmonia Amanda/Showcase items. Please review and comment on the associated talk page.
Groundwork for adding new entity types to move us forward with support for structured data on Commons. (Other entity types are Item and Property. We'll need Mediainfo for Commons.)
Work on first prototype for Commons support - specifically by making it possible to have more entity types than just Item and Property (phabricator:T125822)
Work on first prototype for Commons support - specifically by making it possible to have more entity types than just Item and Property (phabricator:T125822)
In order to deploy the ORES extension on Wikidata we need a few more people to help with a labeling campaign. ORES will help us a lot with anti-vandalism fighting.
The in other projects sidebar has graduated from beta features and is now turned on on all projects except Dutch Wikipedia. (They have their own hack.) This closes a wish that has been around since 2004 \o/ (phabricator:T2708)
Added a new identifiers section in items. Everything with datatype external identifier goes there now. Once we have all identifiers converted items should be easier to scan and understand because of the clearer structure.
We have a patch upcoming that should reduce loading time of items with a lot of sitelinks by 25%
Fixed a bug where you could not add statements with external identifier or mathematical expression datatype (phabricator:T127095)
More groundwork for Commons (making it possible to have more entities than just items and properties)
Wikiversity is now supported by Wikidata as well. Language links can be maintained on Wikidata now. Access to the data will follow. Welcome, sister!
Wikidata now has cross-wiki notifications as a beta feature. You can enable it in your preferences. Once enabled you will see notifications you received on the other Wikimedia wikis.
Property:P1367 ("BBC Your Paintings artist-ID") has become "Art UK artist identifier". Identifier values were replaced.
The number of claims on each item is to be included in the "page property" database table. For some items where it had been missing, it was recently added. This leads to improved coverage by database reports: without claims by site.
Mix'n'match has new catalogs: Artists of the Nationalmuseum in Sweden and Encyclopædia Britannica
Wikidata Query Service now allows to view images linked from Commons and display image galley if the query result has images. Example: Paintings by Gustav Klimt
Fixed a bug in Special:NewItem which prevented submission of the form (phabricator:T128075)
More performance work
In diffs for mathematical expressions we're now also showing the TeX source to make it possible to see changes that do not affect the rendering of the formula (phabricator:T125712)
More work on cleaning up languages for multilingual text values and labels/descriptions/aliases
Lucie and Charlie handed in their Bachelor theses on the Article Placeholder and Editing Wikidata from Wikipedia. Work on both topics will continue. We'll publish both theses soon. A big congrats to both of them!
This article from Russian Wikipedia is generated only with Lua Module and Listeria, based on its Wikidata item.
If you're into Wikidata, GLAM and Facebook there is now a Facebook group for you.
There are 4 new games to help with the migration of the Persondata template on English Wikipedia.
There was a huge increase in the number of qualifiers over the last 2 weeks. It went from 2.6 to 3.7 Million due to additions of qualifiers for evidence codes on human and mouse proteins.
Interested in seeing Wikidata training sessions at Wikimania? Add yourself to interested attendees for the sessions.
Substantially reduced server load for item and property displaying (phab:T132662)
There are currently some issues with the order of latitude/longitude inn coordinates in the query service map visualization. It will be fixed tonight.
Removed unsupported sort and dir parameters from the wikibase.api.RepoApi JavaScript module. This may break user JavaScript calling getEntitiesByPage (phab:T119856).
Worked on new flyers for institutions that want to cooperate with Wikidata and developers wanting to use our data (will be published on Commons once they're done)
Moved forward with internationalization of the query service interface (not on translatewiki.net yet but being worked on)
Worked on making it possible to extend SPARQL queries in simplified natural language version. It will also no longer add query prefixes when editing the query. Those are not live yet.
Fixed a bug where admins got a blank page when trying to view deleted revisions (phabricator:T132645)
Investigating issues with bad suggestions for properties when adding new statements (phabricator:T132839)
Our Main Page now has a section for popular items to show you what is trending on Wikidata based on several people editing an item over the last few days
Worked on creating mediainfo entities on demand when a file is viewed that doesn't have an associated mediainfo entity yet. This is needed for structured data support for Commons.
Worked on making it possible to embed query results in other websites. You can get a preview at https://jonaskress.github.io
Added timeline as a possible visualization for the query service.
Investigated issues with downloading query result sets in Safari.
Got ArticlePlaceholder ready for the second round of Wikipedias.
Fixed bug where map wasn't enabled as a possible visualization for queries with cooridnates.
You can soon specify the color of the bubbles in a bubble chart visualization. (phabricator:T137061)
Fixed a bug with terms sometimes not showing up, language fallback not working correctly in Lua modules and connection to master database
Fixed a bug with URL encoding in the query service.
ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 100 can avoid timeouts on Wikidata Query Service (source)
Development
Worked on making it easier to add new query examples right from the query service by just clicking a button. There are some technical issues with it still though. Will take a while to sort through.
More work on creating new Media-Info entities (the equivalent of item for media file data) on the fly (phabricator:T134259)
EasyQuery is now a gadget that you can enable in your preferences. It gives you an icon next to each statement value. That gives you a list of other items with the same statement.
Stats have been updated and show a significant jump in references.
There is now a 100wikidatadays challenge based on the 100wikidays challenge for Wikipedia. The goal: convert 100 templates to make use of Wikidata over the course of 100 days.
Thiemo wrote a user script to pre-fill "date retrieved" in a reference with the current date. Please test and let us know what you think ont he linked page. If you like it it can become a gadget.
More groundwork for Commons. We can now save a statement in the new MediaInfo entity type \o/ (Some minor issues still with the demo system but should be solved next week.)
Fixed a display issue with description tooltips in recent changes. Thanks Matěj Suchánek! (phabricator:T89663)
Refactored quite some of the sitelinks-related JavaScript code (phabricator:T127056 and gerrit:294687. This may break some existing gadgets and user scripts temporarily.
Updated the graphic representing the data model in Wikidata: long, medium, short
Fixed problem with editing statements on Wikidata, after last week's deployment (phabricator:T138974)
Started interviews to find user needs and workflows for automated list generation (phabricator:T139284)
Working on an infographic to represent the flow of data in Wikidata
Work on multi-content revisions in order to be able to store an entity (item, property, mediainfo) and wiki text in the same page (This is needed for Commons) (phabricator:T107595)
Did more interviews with editors as preparation for the work on automated list generation for Wikipedia and co based on Wikidata data
Fixed a bug with data parsing in Korean and a few other languages (phabricator:T139509)
Added "non" as a language code for monolingual text values (phabricator:T137115)
Removed display of calendar model for dates with precision of 10 years or larger (phabricator:T133973)
Fixed issues in some of the forms on special pages on mobile (phabricator:T138413)
Numbers on Wikidata:Database reports/without claims by site for some projects decreased (e.g. dewiki), remained consistently low (e.g. nlwiki), or recently increased to new highs (e.g. enwiki).
Development
Finished first rough prototype for structured data on Commons. Wanted to sent out announcement on Friday but one configuration issue is still unsolved. Should be solved in the next 1 or 2 days.
We are adding a "no match found" message to the suggester that you get when selecting an item or property while adding a new statement for example (phabricator:T140085)
When a query result contains a mathematical expression it will soon be rendered correctly (phabricator:T137784)
Added support for Haida (hai) for monolingual text values (phabricator:T138131)
You can now translate all sister project pages to your language, like Wikidata:Wikipedia. Please, link to them from your projects to give your fellow users chance to learn Wikidata basics.
You can now enable the CoordinateDiffMap Gadget in your preferences to get a map for coordinate changes.
Added a message to the suggester that pops up when you search for items or properties. When no matching property or item is found it will now tell you. (phabricator:T140085)
Considerably improved our browser tests to find more issues before You ever see them.

Basque language Wikipedia develops a most prominent basque and worlwide person born/death in this day for all the day related articles. For example, eu:Abenduaren 19. It also displays interesting red links for people born and dead that day that are not represented in eu:wp.
This week, most of the developers are at the Dev Summit hacking stuff and doing great things!
Continued working on "federation" – support for multiple Wikibase repositories (phab:T76007)
New dimensions for unit conversion in the query service (phab:T150881)
Fixed a timing issue that can happen when using the property suggester (phab:T115267)

Coordinates on Russian Wikipedia now link to maps generated with the Kartographer extension. The map includes the location outline, if that object exists in OpenStreetMap (OSM) with a corresponding Wikidata ID (ways and relations only, not nodes). Example: w:ru:Зальцбург (click coordinates in the upper right corner, or in the infobox on the side). If you create a Wikidata item about a specific administrative area, building, or other physical individual object which appears on maps, then please add the Wikidata ID to the relevant object in OSM, using key:wikidata= (here's how to contribute to OSM).
QuickStatements V2 can now run your commands in the background, no need to keep the browser tab open anymore

The Cebuano and Swedish wikis have a lot of bot-created content which is unconnected to other wiki articles. A good way to tackle that problem is by checking constraint violations for property GeoNames ID.
Module Wikidata on Wikidata received an update to improve its performance. If your wiki has forked this one, consider updating it and report any problems (already reported one).
Experimental c:Template:Category contains for categories on Commons, including a per-category Wikidata query. See introductory discussion on Commons Village Pump. Presented together with current statistics on Commons category <-> Wikidata links
Doing a trial run of allowing search engines to index a number of ArticlePlaceholder pages on Welsh Wikipedia. If there are no major issues we will enable this for all placeholders.
Improving Federation-related after initial tests,
Getting ready to deploy automated sitelinks for Wiktionary
Thanks for the reply. As already explained on the pages you reverted:
Redirects like Хале (Niedersachsen) to Halle (Weserbergland) are misleading because 2 different municipalities named "Halle" exist in Lower Saxony (= Donja Saksonija = Niedersachsen/NI):
An exclusive redirect to the second one makes no sense. I don't see how such a redirect "should be corrected". It would be wrong in the same way to change the redirect to "Halle (bei Neuenhaus)" instead. And of course replicating disambiguation pages (see Halle) is meaningless.
Hi again, I noticed that you removed deletion requests and kept the following 30 pages as redirects to the disambiguation Halle (example here):
Halle, bei Neuenhaus, Saksonija-Anhalt
Hale, bei Neuenhaus, Saksonija-Anhalt
Хале, bei Neuenhaus, Saksonija-Anhalt
Halle (bei Neuenhaus, Saksonija-Anhalt)
Hale (bei Neuenhaus, Saksonija-Anhalt)
Хале (bei Neuenhaus, Saksonija-Anhalt)
Halle, bei Neuenhaus, Саксонија-Анхалт
Hale, bei Neuenhaus, Саксонија-Анхалт
Хале, bei Neuenhaus, Саксонија-Анхалт
Halle (bei Neuenhaus, Саксонија-Анхалт)
Hale (bei Neuenhaus, Саксонија-Анхалт)
Хале (bei Neuenhaus, Саксонија-Анхалт)
Halle, bei Neuenhaus, Sachsen-Anhalt
Hale, bei Neuenhaus, Sachsen-Anhalt
Хале, bei Neuenhaus, Sachsen-Anhalt
Halle (bei Neuenhaus, Sachsen-Anhalt)
Hale (bei Neuenhaus, Sachsen-Anhalt)
Хале (bei Neuenhaus, Sachsen-Anhalt)
Halle, bei Neuenhaus, ST
Hale, bei Neuenhaus, ST
Хале, bei Neuenhaus, ST
Halle (bei Neuenhaus, ST)
Hale (bei Neuenhaus, ST)
Хале (bei Neuenhaus, ST)
Halle, bei Neuenhaus, ST, Nemačka
Hale, bei Neuenhaus, ST, Nemačka
Хале, bei Neuenhaus, ST, Nemačka
Halle (bei Neuenhaus, ST, Deutschland)
Hale (bei Neuenhaus, ST, Deutschland)
Хале (bei Neuenhaus, ST, Deutschland)
Please note that this is different to the case above (which was about 2 towns named Halle, but both located in the same state, Lower Saxony).
As already explained in the deletion requests (see [8]), the problem here is, that the redirects combine 2 completely unrelated locations in their titles. They include Neuenhaus in Saxony-Anhalt in various forms. Therefore, they suggest that such a location would be real. But it is not. A municipality named Neuenhaus does not exist at all in Saxony-Anhalt.
What happened? Obviously the following two municipalities have been mixed up once in the past:
Halle (Saale) in the state of Saxony-Anhalt (= Saksonija-Anhalt = Sachsen-Anhalt = ST) – actually in Saxony-Anhalt but NOT near Neuenhaus
So the creation of 30 misleading and implausible redirects (originally to one of the "Halle" articles) was a mistake. No problem, it's easy to correct mistakes on Wikipedia. In this case, correction can only mean deletion, because it really makes no sense to manifest wrong information by keeping false redirects forever.
Otherwise – if you want to follow this scheme – you would have to create hundreds of redirects from fantasy location combinations to the disambiguation Halle:
There are more states of Germany without a municipality named Neuenhaus, e.g. Bavaria. So Halle, bei Neuenhaus, Bavarska or the variant Хале, bei Neuenhaus, BY, Nemačka would be as good (or bad) as the 30 redirects above.
The administrative structure of Germany with many similar names might be confusing, I know. So maybe the UK capital London is a better example: A standard redirect from London, England, United Kingdom would be ok (at least on sh.wikipedia), because London is actually located in the English part of the UK. But redirects from London, Scotland, UK or London, Wales, UK would NOT be ok (factually wrong, as London is neither located in Scotland nor in Wales, even if both are parts of the UK). Such redirects are generally unwanted (probably on sh.wikipedia, too).
I hope, I was able to explain the issue and you see the point now. Could you please reconsider deletion of the 30 redirects? Thanks --Te750iv (razgovor) 20:16, 6 januar 2019 (CET)[odgovori]

Your feedback is needed - Improving the Content Translation tool
Hello Friend,
Apologies as this message is not in your native language.
The WMF language team is reaching out to you based on your position as an admin in the Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia. In particular, we want to learn about your experience, the issues you encounter with articles created with Content translation.
We appreciate the great work you are doing in Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia to ensure standard and quality articles are not compromised. However, it is a big task to encounter content that is not standard daily, and a difficult decision to delete them because they fall below standard.
Our observations
We noticed that articles created with the Content Translation tool in your wiki are deleted more frequently than in other Wikipedias. We say this because, from our statistics, 8185 articles were added to Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia in 2020. Out of the above figure, only 7 of them were translated using the Content Translation tool and 14 articles were deleted. Therefore, the deletion rate and the tool's low usage signals a problem or deficiencies peculiar to your Wikipedia. The Content Translation tool can increase content creation in your Wikipedia and is an excellent way to efficiently introduce newcomers to adding content and expand on existing ones.
Our request
So, we want you to participate in a survey. The survey will give us insight into how we can improve the tool to get quality articles and reduce the number of deletion, hence making your work easier.
If you are not comfortable with taking the survey, that is fine. You can still provide us with feedback in this thread or via email on the following questions:
What makes the articles created with content translation fall below standard in your Wikipedia?
What are the common mistakes that editors that use content translation make?
How do you think we can improve the Content Translation tool that will help you with your work or make your task easier and reduce deletion of articles in Serbo-Croatian Wikipedia?
So please, feel free to give us feedback in any way that is most convenient for you.
Thank you so much, as we look forward to your response
Reminder: Your feedback is needed - Improving the Content Translation tool
Hello Friend!
The WMF Language team earlier reached out to you to participate in a survey to give us insight into improving the Content Translation tool to make your work as an admin easier. Towards improving the quality of content in your Wikipedia and avoiding the case of content deletion.
Again, we are reaching out to you as a reminder to Take the Survey as the survey will close on 9th July 2021 (23:59 UTC). The survey will only take you between 10 to 15 minutes. Please read the Privacy Statement to know how the information collected from the survey will be used.
If you already took the survey- thank you! You don't need to retake it.
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
