[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T173145: Global users should be wikidata items
Bugreporter added a comment. Just a note: Only allow the users themselves to edit items about them is impractical, as properties and items is managed by community, and sometimes properties get deprecated or items get merged. Probably we need a new user group to manage them.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173145EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: BugreporterCc: Bugreporter, Lydia_Pintscher, zhuyifei1999, Envlh, Izno, Mahir256, Ash_Crow, VIGNERON, Hsarrazin, Pigsonthewing, Nikki, Aklapper, dbarratt, PokestarFan, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

In T173145#3527784, @dbarratt wrote: Are you implying that, to understand any of the arguments posted here, I must first acquire a 'secret knowledge' that can only be obtained by further participation in the community? This proposal to expand Wikidata's scope was put forward without forewarning of the community in any other public forum—it is not guaranteed that frequent Wikidata contributors will all be members of the Wikidata project on Phabricator. I have added subscribers based on a related issue, who have continued and will continue to enlighten you on exposing structured user information, but trips through RFCs, project chat archives, and administrators' noticeboard archives will most likely show that this topic was fought over at length between occasional users and longtime contributors—it is not codified knowledge, but it is most certainly not secret and I am not trying to imply that it was. If you have in fact combed through these things (and discovered that the topic of user items has never been broached in the site's five years of existence) or if you have actually informed the community somewhere else other than Phabricator, then I sincerely apologize for misstating the facts. Would you be willing to explain the context to me so I am no longer ignorant and am able to understand these arguments? I will save a more thorough response for later in the week. Bear in mind, though, that I don't frequently take larger roles in the discussions linked to above and thus my own views are not nearly as developed and may not nearly be as representative of the overall community as others' might be. It is to your benefit to find sanction (or compel it) for this proposal among the community in venues other than Phabricator first as this is more than just a technical issue to many people.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173145EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Mahir256Cc: Lydia_Pintscher, zhuyifei1999, Envlh, Izno, Mahir256, Ash_Crow, VIGNERON, Hsarrazin, Esc3300, Pigsonthewing, Nikki, Aklapper, dbarratt, PokestarFan, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

CentralAuth and T168792: Use Cognate to link user pages. Everything else can already be queried--you said it yourself. I see, so if T168792 is completed then the existing data in the API would be queryable (if I'm understanding this correctly)? I suppose that's a fine compromise. As much as I'd like the publicly exposed details to be available as well (i.e. not in Wikitext) I understand the objections (though, it is already in the wikitext, which is my point). One might reasonably make meta.wikimedia.org a federated Wikibase installation a la structured data for Commons, so that users can define global attributes, potentially using data from Wikidata. I think that would be fantastic. Either way, I think the Wikidata community wants nothing to do with users managing data there. Understandable. Fine with me, as long as you can reference a user item from wikidata, it doesn't really matter. is a really big caveat and probably will not be implemented, not least for the opposition in this task. There is specific opposition to having user information, which is seen as unimportant, mixed in to the Q main space items. You can review http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/WD:N for specifics. This is why I suggested a different namespace (which is why we have a different namespace on Wiki's for User:). But also having them on meta makes the distinction even more clear. Also adds additional editorial burden for almost 0 gain for the Wikidata community. There is specific opposition to enabling users to out themselves. I mean they are already outing themselves, it's just in a wikitext. This would give the data they are already publicly disclosing a structured format for research and analysis of different systems. Adds additional administrative burden for almost 0 gain for the Wikidata community. Does having "User" on Meta increase the editorial burden? This seems like hosting on Meta might be the solution. If you really think this is a good idea, you need to have a proposal ready to overcome all of those objections. Plus others that the community decides are worth objecting over. (Good luck.) Well that's why I'm talking to all of you. I think everyone has made some great points. Does it resolve most of the concerns if Users are in a U namespace and are hosted on Meta (and somehow, can be referenced from Wikidata as in the example)?TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173145EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: dbarrattCc: Lydia_Pintscher, zhuyifei1999, Envlh, Izno, Mahir256, Ash_Crow, VIGNERON, Hsarrazin, Esc3300, Pigsonthewing, Nikki, Aklapper, dbarratt, PokestarFan, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs
