We should not debate the meaning of "century" except to decide if it is compatible with the data model, which must be obeyed.

External code does not interact through the user interface. Whether the external code correctly follows the Wikibase standards, as documented in the data models, would depend on whether the external code was developed by reading the data models, or empirically by looking at data present in the database. If the data that the external developers happened to have incorrect information due to the faulty user interface, the external code might be faulty as well.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95553EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Jc3s5hCc: Jc86035, Jarekt, Sylvain_WMFr, Ghouston, Jc3s5h, Larske, VIGNERON, Ayack, matej_suchanek, Hsarrazin, Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Sjoerddebruin, Marsupium, PKM, Liuxinyu970226, TheDJ, Lydia_Pintscher, kaldari, Ricordisamoa, daniel, thiemowmde, Lucie, Amire80, Aklapper, Tobi_WMDE_SW, Wikidata-bugs, JulesWinnfield-hu, Conny, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Soteriaspace, Jayprakash12345, JakeTheDeveloper, QZanden, merbst, LawExplorer, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao, Arrbee, Mbch331, Jay8g___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Ghouston added a comment. I agree with Jc3s5h. Wikidata dates are represented in JSON with ISO 8601 strings with associated precisions, and a "century" precision value looks like: time: "+2000-00-00T00:00:00Z" precision: 7 The insignificant digits are always set to zero, apparently, and I'd expect the range of this value to be 2000-01-01 to 2099-12-31. Formatting it as "20. century" is confusing, to say the least. I suggest displaying it instead as "20XX", or "2000-2099".TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95553EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: GhoustonCc: Ghouston, Jc3s5h, Larske, VIGNERON, Ayack, matej_suchanek, Hsarrazin, Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Sjoerddebruin, Marsupium, PKM, Liuxinyu970226, TheDJ, Lydia_Pintscher, kaldari, Ricordisamoa, daniel, thiemowmde, Lucie, Amire80, Aklapper, Tobi_WMDE_SW, Wikidata-bugs, JulesWinnfield-hu, Conny, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Soteriaspace, Jayprakash12345, JakeTheDeveloper, QZanden, LawExplorer, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao, Arrbee, Mbch331, Jay8g___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Jc3s5h added a comment. I disagree with Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE. Help:Dates#Precision is correct. It agrees with[[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Indexing/RDF_Dump_Format | the RDF Dump Format ]] documentation and the the JSON documentation. As for the idea that "1800s" means the decade from 1800 to 1809, the Chicago Manual of Style 16th ed. page 476 states Note that the first decade of any century cannot be treated in the same way as any other decades. "The 1900s," for example, could easily be taken to refer to the whole of the twentieth century.

Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE added a comment. I think Help:Dates#Precision (permalink) is actually incorrect in this case. There is no year 0 – the first century starts with the year 1 and ends with the year 100, the second century starts with the year 101 and ends with the year 200, and so on. Therefore, the year 1800 still lies within the 18th century (which spans from 1701 until 1800 – not 1700 until 1799!), and Wikidata is completely correct in displaying this as “18. century”. Furthermore, “1800s” already has a different meaning: it refers to the decade from 1800 to 1809 (or perhaps 1801 to 1810? I’m not sure), just like “1810s”, “1820s”, “1980s” etc. F15961633: Screenshot-2018-3-22 Wikidata Sandbox.pngTASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95553EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDECc: Larske, VIGNERON, Ayack, matej_suchanek, Hsarrazin, Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Sjoerddebruin, Marsupium, PKM, Liuxinyu970226, TheDJ, Lydia_Pintscher, kaldari, Ricordisamoa, daniel, thiemowmde, Lucie, Amire80, Aklapper, Tobi_WMDE_SW, Wikidata-bugs, JulesWinnfield-hu, Addshore, Conny, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Soteriaspace, Jayprakash12345, JakeTheDeveloper, QZanden, LawExplorer, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao, Arrbee, Mbch331, Jay8g___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE added a comment. To be honest, these examples in the link you posted make me skeptical about the suggested solution… how can we produce some code that produces “whatever is needed”, when there is no such thing as the ordinal form of a number in certain languages, and it can depend on gender, declension, and other things? I suspect the best we can do is to have one function for each word that we need an ordinal for – for instance, the words for “century” and “millennium” might have different genders in a language where the ordinal depends on the gender, so we would have separate functions for these ordinals (in languages where it doesn’t matter, most of these functions would then delegate to each other).TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95553EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDECc: Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE, Sjoerddebruin, Marsupium, PKM, Liuxinyu970226, TheDJ, Lydia_Pintscher, kaldari, Ricordisamoa, daniel, thiemowmde, Lucie, Amire80, Aklapper, Tobi_WMDE_SW, Wikidata-bugs, JulesWinnfield-hu, Addshore, Conny, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Soteriaspace, Jayprakash12345, JakeTheDeveloper, QZanden, Zoranzoki21, LawExplorer, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao, Arrbee, Mbch331, Jay8g___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

thiemowmde added a comment. A very flexible solution that should work with many languages would be to pass an ordinal version of the number as an additional parameter $2 to all messages (no matter if the message needs an ordinal number or not). This way translators are free to use either the regular or ordinal number whenever their language requires it. For example, a German translator can either use $1. Jahrhundert or $2 Jahrhundert, and both would produce the same output. The biggest concern here is that whatever code is added to MwTimeIsoFormatter, the same feature set must be added to MwTimeIsoParser. In other words, we can only use the existing NumberFormatter if we are able to parser/unlocalize every single string it outputs. If this is not possible, the best we can do for the moment is to introduce our own OrdinalNumberFormatter and OrdinalNumberParser. They don't need to support all languages right from the start. English, German, and maybe French might be a good start for a first version. Here is something to start with: http://www.typophile.com/node/42577. Look out for Russian. Numbers have a gender there.

thiemowmde added a comment. Thanks a lot for the kind response. I believe the suggested solution is definitely a way forward: Remove the dot from the message, and use some code that fills the $1 placeholder with "1." or "1st" or whatever is needed.

I guess the more important issue is that non-German speakers cannot enter century and millenium values into claims as it will only allow you to publish them if you use the German notation. Neither do we only support 1 language I meant specifically for the century and millenium notation. Are there other languages that use the dot notation? Sorry for my ignorance. I wasn't trying to be rude.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95553EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: kaldariCc: Liuxinyu970226, TheDJ, Lydia_Pintscher, kaldari, Ricordisamoa, daniel, thiemowmde, Lucie, Amire80, Aklapper, Tobi_WMDE_SW, Wikidata-bugs, JulesWinnfield-hu, Addshore, Conny, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Soteriaspace, Jayprakash12345, JakeTheDeveloper, QZanden, Zoranzoki21, LawExplorer, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao, Arrbee, Mbch331, Jay8g___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

thiemowmde added a comment. Sure, improvements are welcome. However, I kindly ask you to watch your tone. Neither do we only support 1 language, nor are the values "nonsense". They might be formatted in an awkward, unusual way in many languages. But most readers do have enough imagination to make sense of the string "15. century" if they see it, even with this formatting.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95553EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: thiemowmdeCc: Liuxinyu970226, TheDJ, Lydia_Pintscher, kaldari, Ricordisamoa, daniel, thiemowmde, Lucie, Amire80, Aklapper, Tobi_WMDE_SW, Wikidata-bugs, JulesWinnfield-hu, Addshore, Conny, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Soteriaspace, Jayprakash12345, JakeTheDeveloper, QZanden, Zoranzoki21, LawExplorer, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao, Arrbee, Mbch331, Jay8g___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

kaldari added a comment. What difference does this make for you, or for anybody else? The values are nonsense to anyone who doesn't read German. The concern I do have with utilizing PHPs build-in NumberFormatter (http://php.net/manual/en/class.numberformatter.php) is that it might not be suitable for all languages we need to support. Understood, but right now, we only support 1 language. Surely 85 languages is an improvement.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95553EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: kaldariCc: Liuxinyu970226, TheDJ, Lydia_Pintscher, kaldari, Ricordisamoa, daniel, thiemowmde, Lucie, Amire80, Aklapper, Tobi_WMDE_SW, Wikidata-bugs, JulesWinnfield-hu, Addshore, Conny, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Soteriaspace, Jayprakash12345, JakeTheDeveloper, QZanden, Zoranzoki21, LawExplorer, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao, Arrbee, Mbch331, Jay8g___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

thiemowmde added a comment. What difference does this make for you, or for anybody else? If a volunteer wants to start working on this, he should feel free to do so, no matter in which column a ticket is.

TheDJ added a comment. PLURAL simply can not do this The problem is that this is an ordinal, and we have no tooling for that in our translations. PHP has: $locale = 'en_US'; $nf = new NumberFormatter($locale, NumberFormatter::ORDINAL); echo $nf->format($number); Not sure if there are languages that have ordinals, that don't use ordinals for century notation. if not, then it might be good enough to use this straight from php specifically for the date messages that require this..TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95553EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: TheDJCc: TheDJ, Lydia_Pintscher, kaldari, Ricordisamoa, daniel, thiemowmde, Lucie, Amire80, Aklapper, Tobi_WMDE_SW, Wikidata-bugs, JulesWinnfield-hu, Addshore, Conny, GoranSMilovanovic, Soteriaspace, Jayprakash12345, JakeTheDeveloper, QZanden, Zoranzoki21, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao, Arrbee, Mbch331, Jay8g___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs
