[Wikidata-l] new features deployed \o/
Hey folks :) As announced last week we just deployed a number of new features. Those are: * Wikinews is now able to manage its sitelinks via Wikidata. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Wikinews for questions/coordination/... * Wikidata is now also its own client. This means you can for example add a sitelink to Wikidata:Help to the item for all main help pages. You are able to make use of the data in items on other pages in Wikidata with Lua. (Arbitrary access has been enabled for Wikidata for this but when data in an item changes we will not be able to purge the page using the data yet.) * Sitelinks for projects with just one sitelink in the group (like Commons, Wikidata and in the future Meta for example) are now grouped together in one sitelink group. * Badges for good and featured articles can be stored on Wikidata right next to the sitelink. We have badges for featured and good articles. More can be added on request later. Thanks to Bene* and lazowik for this feature. * Redirects between items can be created. When two items are merged one of them can be turned into a redirect. This way our identifiers can be considered much more stable by 3rd parties for example. It also makes it unnecessary to delete duplicate items. This will reduce the workload of our admins considerably. * We have the new datatype monolingual text. This allows you to make statements with a string and an associated language. Known issues/limitations: * Redirects can so far only be created via the API * Arbitrary access on Wikidata to the data on Wikidata itself is only possible via Lua. The parser function still needs to be adapted. * Badges can not yet be shown on the Wikipedias etc. This will follow next week. * Diffs for badges changes have a link to a wrong target (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69758) Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

Re: [Wikidata-l] new features deployed \o/
Lydia, I have a question about pages in Wikidata connected to their items. In the example you give: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q914807 How can be the page linked? I guess I have to enter it in the section Pages on other sites linked to this item, but when I click add, there is no suggester. I tried wikidata, wikidatawiki, data, but nothing happens. By the way the Wikinews section appears as wikibase-sitelinks-wikinews, but probably you are already aware of it. Thanks for the update!

It's a caching issue apparently. Working on it :) If you enter testwikidata it works it seems. By the way the Wikinews section appears as wikibase-sitelinks-wikinews, but probably you are already aware of it. Yeah. Also a caching issue. Did I mention that caches and I are no longer friends? :P Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

At the earliest time I can deploy the fix, I will do so.
