[Wikidata-l] The first question after deployment of phase 2
This is the first Wikidata 2 edit in Hungarian Wikipedia: http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Magyarorsz%C3%A1gcurid=115diff=13394408oldid=13378794 I tried to replace the official language first, but it is linked in the infobox as [[magyar nyelv|magyar]]. How can I use properties here? The second thought was .hu, the TLD, but its value in the infobox is currently hu which is translated to [[.hu]] by the infobox template, so after inclusion from WD it became [[..hu]] which is of course red. How can I use that? Shall we rebuild all the infoboxes? Other items are either missing from the infobox or from WD, so the reason to choose the president whom I dislike was that his name appears both in WD and the infobox and is linked in a simple form. -- Bináris ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l

Of course, I know what I speak about. Please let me think a few weeks in advance. Yes, we definitely have to speak about the purpose of the project. Tha basic question is of course how to transfer data from outer sources to Wikidata properties, this is the only important point in the whole thread. 2013/3/1 Sven Manguard svenmangu...@gmail.com Sorry to be the contrarian, but I'm not sure we should be talking about pulling data from Wikidata into Wikipedia until the devs announce that they are close to deploying it.

Re: [Wikidata-l] gene templates - wikidata, when?
Hi Benjamin, there is a similar task. I am not sure this fits here. Hungarian Wikipedia lists the redlist status of species of plants and animals (threatened, not threatened etc.). There is a request to update this by bot from http://www.iucnredlist.org/. Also biological property, also listed in templates and also originates from an external database. I told them to wait for Wikidata phase 2, which is now alive, but what next? Do you think these tasks are related? 2013/3/1 Benjamin Good ben.mcgee.g...@gmail.com I am considering the task of converting the templates from the gene articles in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Gene_Wiki) to use/create wikidata assertions. This involves an extensive update of the template structure as well as the code for the bot that keeps them in sync with external public databases. (https://bitbucket.org/sulab/pygenewiki) More specifically I'm thinking about working with a Google Summer of Code student on this project. Given a time frame of now through August, would it make sense for us to pursue this objective directly in the context of wikidata (through the public API). Or would it be better for us to install our own version of the wikibase software (kept in sync with code updates) and develop the new gene wiki bot code locally with the aim of switching to the public API later? Or is it too early to consider this project? I want to get involved and support wikidata with this important data, but I'm hesitant to ramp up development (especially with a student) in a moving target situation.

Re: [Wikidata-l] Disambiguation in property names
Oh, that's great! So there will be a dictionary to substitute the property names with appearing names or soething like that? Or will it be determined template by template? So this is the solution to avoid identical property names: an extension in parentheses. 2013/2/20 Lydia Pintscher lydia.pintsc...@wikimedia.de On Mon, Feb 18, 2013 at 1:30 AM, Bináris wikipo...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, there was a talk (here or on project talk, I don't remember) about identical names of properties. In several languages sex (=being male or female) and genus in biology have the same name which is prohibited in property names. Now, I see ország (rendszertan) (P75) in recent changes; ország means country and it also has the biological meaning (plants, animals...) A good solution would be if these disambiguating words in parentheses could disappear when applying them in phase 2 client. Then we could encourage people to use this form. As we say in Hungary, both the goat has enough and the cabbage remains. I am not sure if I was clear, tell me if not. So to make sure I get this right: you're talking about how this is shown on the client, so in this case in the article on Wikipedia? If so then the name of the property shouldn't have any influence on how it is shown there. The local editors can code their new infobox and give it whatever label they want pretty much.

I hope these are transitional problems only. In this case there was only one language, so fallback was not really relevant (the item has been deleted since).
