Hi Steve, On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 4:33 AM, Steve Bennett stevag...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Lydia, Very cool. You might want to expand on this text: Language links in the sidebar will automatically come from Wikidata, once the article is linked on Wikidata. No special syntax is needed for that. Yes, correct. A page on Wikidata (called item) needs to exist for the subject and contain a link to the article on the Wikipedia where the other language links are supposed to show up. So take for example http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2. If someone writes a new article about this subject that didn't have one so far then they need to add the link to the table at the bottom there. Then all the other links will show up in the sidebar of their article. I hope that makes it clearer. If not please let me know. Speaking as someone who knows nothing about Wikidata, the phrase once the article is linked on Wikidata doesn't mean anything. From a bit of digging around, I see that someone has to create a Wikidata page for each biographical subject, but who? Will the bot MerllwBot (that created the Mario Goeppert-Mayer page) eventually create all the others? It's a mix of bots and humans creating them. At this point my best guess is that a very large part of pages already have a corresponding page on Wikidata. But that's just a guess. In total we have 3,985,290 on Wikidata at the moment, and growing. What exactly should editors do at this point? Just sit back and wikidata goodness will flow? Or take active steps to replace lists of interwiki links with automatically generated ones? That is up to you. If you want you can remove them by hand. Or have someone run bots to do so. Or just leave things as they are. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Community Communications for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

From my experience, it would appear generally speaking article with more than 1 or 2 interwiki links will typically already exist on Wikidata, but not necessarily otherwise. If there's a Wikidata item that linked to the corresponding article you are on, Edit links will appear on the side bar under Languages.

If only 1 or 2 interwiki links exist on an article, and there is no Wikidata entry, is it worth creating one or just waiting for one to be created as more interwiki links are added, or other Wikidata functionality is added? Eventually I expect one of the bots to get to it but if you want you can also just create it.

The item should be created, because in many cases other properties ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/WD:P) can still be added to the item. -- Legoktm On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 8:11 AM, Carcharoth carcharot...@googlemail.comwrote: On 2/15/13, Katie Chan k...@ktchan.info wrote: From my experience, it would appear generally speaking article with more than 1 or 2 interwiki links will typically already exist on Wikidata, but not necessarily otherwise.

[WikiEN-l] Fwd: [Wikitech-l] Lua rollout to en.wikipedia.org and a few others
COMPREHENSIBLE TEMPLATES!!! -- Forwarded message -- From: Rob Lanphier ro...@wikimedia.org Date: 15 February 2013 20:33 Subject: [Wikitech-l] Lua rollout to en.wikipedia.org and a few others To: Wikimedia developers wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org, wikitech-ambassad...@lists.wikimedia.org Hi everyone, We're planning to deploy Lua to a long list of wikis on Monday, February 18, 23:00-01:00 UTC (stretching into Tuesday UTC), including English Wikipedia. Details here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lua Jan Kučera (User:Kozuch) has placed notifications on many of the wikis. Those notifications and general communications listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kozuch/Lua This is a really exciting deployment for the projects. We're really looking forward to seeing the great things that people do with this, and looking forward to making editing and previewing more responsive for template-heavy pages.
