[Wikidata] Do you use the Wikidata entity dump dcatap.rdf?

2017-09-27 Thread Marius Hoch 

Hi folks,

is anyone using the Wikidata entity dump dcatap.rdf at 
https://dumps.wikimedia.org/wikidatawiki/entities/dcatap.rdf?


It is very rarely used and is thus causing us a (probably) undue 
maintenance burden, because of which we plan to remove it.


If anyone is making use of it, please speak up so that we can keep it or 
find a viable alternative.


Cheers,
Marius

[Wikidata] [BREAKING] Removal of the wb-status page prop

2016-10-19 Thread Marius Hoch 

Hey folks,

we plan to drop the "wb-status" page prop as it's unused as far as we 
can tell and of questionable value, see 
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146792 
. This will affect you if you 
use the action=query API to retrieve page props from entity pages or if 
you use the page_props table (on tool labs for example), to retrieve 
this page property.


Please let us know if and how you use this page prop, so that we can 
find a solution for your use cases.


In case there are no issues with removing this, we will drop it in 
December 2016 (or later).


Cheers,
Marius

[Wikidata] Changes to the wikitext output of the action=wbformatvalue API

2016-10-13 Thread Marius Hoch 

Hey folks,

we will soon change how Wikibase outputs data as Wikitext per default. 
This might affect users of the "action=wbformatvalue" API that either 
use "generate=text/x-wiki" or omit the "generate" parameter (Wikitext 
output is the default for that API module). I briefly looked through our 
API logs in order to see how many users will be affected by this and 
found that no one uses this feature[0].


Please note that for our internal functionality (like the property 
parser function, or the Lua functionality), we made sure that the output 
wont change.


Only the output obtained via the wbformatvalue-API module might change!

Cheers,
Marius
