[Wikidata] Re: Activities - because we all need to find something to do sometimes :-)

Hey Thad, an 'activity' or 'activities' property would seem a bit broad to be me, and hard to properly define. Compared to the 'things to do' results on the search engines you mention, this would be very hard to replicate with a regular property on Wikidata. What is the criteria for a 'popular

[Wikidata] Re: Wikidata Query Service scaling update Aug 2021

tication layer, but it would be a shame. The Wikimedia projects API's (i'm sharing the query service among those) are one of the very few large-scale API's with useful data that don't need any kind of authentication.

Re: [Wikidata] We built two tools to help editors get a more complete picture of the data quality on Wikidata

Hey Mohammed, thanks for sharing! I've used the Item Quality Evaluator and it seems very useful indeed. I like the fact that the lowest ranking items are put on top, so they can get the TLC they deserve. Also, i didn't realise that the full query editor was integrated in the SPARQL field, a

Hey Yaron and Sahaj, awesome, i've been thinking about building something like this before, and it's nice that somebody finally did just that :) A couple of things I noticed: * I understand that you're trying to hide Q/P-numbers (which I think is a good idea), but you still need them for the

Re: [Wikidata] Wikimedia Commons Query Service (WCQS)

Awesome, i'm really happy we finally have at least a start of a functioning query service. For now, the two things that i guess would be helpful for most query writers: 1) A way to make ImageGrid work without resorting to the clunky Special:FilePath hack 2) A nicer way to query Wikidata

Hey Thad, interesting question. Maybe P400 (platform) might work? This is mostly used for things like 'Playstation 4' or 'iOS', but i think processor architecture could be valid there as well. Kind regards, -- Hay On Sat, Apr 25, 2020 at 12:11 AM Thad Guidry wrote: > > With application Q166142

Re: [Wikidata] Advice for storing retail product data on Wikidata or a self-hosted Wikibase instance

Hey Abe, Maxime, cool that you've been looking into how to use Wikibase / Wikidata for something like a retail products / firearms database. I could definitely understand why you're considering that. I suppose just using the vocabulary and writing your own software is probably the best way to go.

Hey Thad, thanks for the suggestions! Concerning keywords in the description field of properties: i think that is a shortcoming of the current autocomplete API that i'm using, which is the same one Wikidata uses for the searchbox in the top-right corner. Apparently they're not indexing those

[Wikidata] A visual way to query Wikidata

Hey everyone, i've made a tool that allows you to query Wikidata in a visual way without using SPARQL. It's called VizQuery: http://tools.wmflabs.org/hay/vizquery/ The possibilities of using Wikidata to do interesting queries are endless, and the current query service allows for very powerful
