[Wikidata-l] Deadlines - phases #1-3

2012-11-27 Thread Snaevar
I suppose Wikidata will be enabled on the Wikipedias when the dependancies of 
bug 38975 [1] are fixed and the Wikibase Client  Wikibase Lib extensions are 
installed on the wikipedias.

 The dependancies of bug 38975 are bug 38542 [2] and bug 41345 [3]. On bug 
38542 db asked if gerrit change 31657 [4] has fixed the problem. At least I 
can´t repreduce the bug on the demo repo, with the first revision of item 
Q5786.[5]

 As said, this is correct with regard to deployment. We will not, though,
 halt developing phase 2 until phase 1 is fully deployed. So development of
 phase 1 is finished, its deployment is not yet. And we cannot promise or
 predict when deployment of phase 1 will be completely finished.

 Development of phase 2, in the meanwhile, is continuing.

 I hope that clears it up.

 Cheers,
 Denny

Subject: [Wikidata-l] thoughts about a plan for enabling interlanguage linking

 Hi, I'm not sure that it was discussed already. If it was discussed, please 
point me there. I read the Technical proposal and the translatable pages on 
Meta and couldn't find it there. Is there any concrete plan to start the 
migration of the current interlanguage links to Wikidata storage? For example: 
* The interwiki bots' will definitely have to be modified for the Wikidata age. 
Did anybody start a conversation with the operators of these bots?  MerlIwBot 
is the only bot that is compatible with Wikidata.
 Lydia has started a conversation with the operators of the bots that have 
volunteered to transit interwiki links to Wikidata.


 * How will interwiki conflicts be handled? Judging by earlier discussions, I 
suppose that Wikidata will just let pages with conflicts work as they always 
did, but this is an important issue that should be answered in the FAQ.[1]  
Correct. This issue was discussed at: 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikidata/Development/Storyboard_for_linking_Wikipedia_articles_v0.1
 

 * How will bots identify pages that use Wikidata?  Is this 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:MerlIwBot/WikiData  what you are looking 
for?  I am going to leave this question mostly unanswered for others. This 
might be related to what you are talking about.  Maybe the answer to all of the 
above questions is: The Wikidata developers intentionally want to leave these 
things to the editors community. If it is, then this is fine. It is even 
hinted in the Technical proposal. But it should be written more explicitly, so 
that the communities will actually start to work on that. Again, if somebody 
already started it, please point me there. Thank you! [1]

The bot operator of MerlIwBot is Merlissimo. His homewiki is on the german 
wikipedia. You can contact him on this userpage:

http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/w/index.php?namespace=0title=Special:RecentChanges


 Some spam was added to the wikidata-repo yesterday.


 Here are a few regexes that can be added to the MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist:

 \bmusic-software-programs\.com\b
 \btwitter\.com/#!/(software_music|licensing_music)\b
 \blicensing-of-music\.com\b
 \bpaydayloansonline0\.com\b

 I am an beginner in writing regexes though.

Re: [Wikidata-l] Impact of Wikidata phase I

2012-06-25 Thread Snaevar
Language links are commented out to stop bots from consistently adding the same 
link, while also preventing it to appear under In other languages in the 
sidebar.

 This is essentially an inproper way for those who only want to prevent the 
bots from re-adding a link on one page, while not caring about pages with the 
same content in other languages. This method is mentioned in the following 
section on an en.wikipedia help page: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Interlanguage_links#Bots_and_links_to_and_from_a_section

 I am surprised by the amount of commented out language links -- there seem to 
be plenty of them, and I do not fully understand why.

[Wikidata-l] Translations

2012-04-30 Thread Snaevar
Translations of Wikibase and WikibaseClient can now be done at 
translatewiki.net. For some reason that I am unaware of, they are located with 
the group names Wikidata Repo and Wikidata Client.
