Re: [Wikidata-l] input for article placeholder
Yeah, you're right, I'm pretty sure Lydia has something to hide ... It must be a smokescreen. Ot maybe it's throwing a bone to Gerard such that Gerard has a bone to grumble to ;) Seriously, I'd also like queries to be ready, but I'm pretty sure Lydia and the devteam are doing their best. No reason to be unpleasant. 2015-01-01 20:09 GMT+01:00 Gerard Meijssen gerard.meijs...@gmail.com: Hoi, What is your point ? Converting code ... it is about functionality. Functionality can be re-implemented. While we are waiting for that, we do not have to wait. Why should we ? What is achieved in that way ?? We certainly do not need to be in denial that query was announced more than a year ago and there is no point in guessing when it will work as well as WDQ. When it will come close.

The easiest thin to do would be to show an automatic disambiguation page, listing items that have a matching label or alias. That page would show the description for each such item, and a link to the corresponding page on the local wiki, if there is one. Yeah we need some kind of disambiguation. But even then we want to show the user more about each of those topics. We're talking mostly about small wikis that have no article coverage for a lot of topics. I'll add the disambiguation point to the wiki page. Let's keep discussion there if possible. This sidesteps the question of how we might show a summary of some sort of a specific data item. If we want that, picking the appropriate infobox template would be nice, but I'm not sure how that could be done. Well there could be a very generic infobox template for example. On a small Wikipedia that would already be a win. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

Hoi, Our aim is to share in the sum of all knowledge. While building on top of what Reasonator offers makes sense, Reasonator works now. So yes, do have a look at what it is missing and what could be improved but do not let that notion prevent us from sharing in the sum of all knowledge that is already available to us. Reasonator works now and anything else will take a LONG time before it can be used.

Hi Gerard, I like Reasonator a lot, but there is several advantages to an integrated solution : * We can reuse technologies of the mediawiki ecosystem, like for example a very important one : templates, that are already used an that a lot of wikimedians knows. It can be used to build template articles. I don't know if reasonator atm had a lot of contributions. It needs a github or something account and Javascript knowledge. * community is reluctant to use not in wiki tools for such needs, it's politically hard to push Reasonator integration into Wikidata fundamental templates, I can tell. * A solution based on prebuilt queries to select the appropriate template seems not so hard to implement only with Wikibase concepts, and deeply integrated to the mediawiki ecosystem, integrate Reasonator will probably eventually not result into such result.

Re: [Wikidata-l] input for article placeholder
Do you speak for the community ?? Nope, I speak for myself. Nether told anything else. Do you really know what Reasonator is about ? I don't really appreciate the tone, I think reasonator is really cool and I'm probably one of the people who pushed its use the most in Wikidata. Do you have a useful answer to your own question ? One point is that Reasonator uses Wikidata query, who, last time I checked, was not planned to be integrated into Wikibase. Wikibase will have its own query engine. It would be a giant software architecture mess if the core mediawiki/wikibase depends on external query engine. 2014-12-30 13:48 GMT+01:00 Gerard Meijssen gerard.meijs...@gmail.com: Hoi, One of the requisites as mentioned on the page by Lydia is that it is usable on any and all projects. Relying on local only technoloy like templates do not make sense. Reasonator DOES provide functionality that is similar to what can be achieved with templating. When a person has relatives, for instance it will show. When something is in a particular location, it will show the hierarchy. when there is a geo coordinate, it shows a map, Now citing political reasons begs the question since when our community decides NOT to implement things that are so manifestly in line what our mission. When you consider in build queries... That is what Reasonator offers for a long long time. Do you really know what Reasonator is about ? Do you speak for the community ??

It can be used to build template articles. I don't know if reasonator atm had a lot of contributions. It needs a github or something account and Javascript knowledge. * community is reluctant to use not in wiki tools for such needs, it's politically hard to push Reasonator integration into Wikidata fundamental templates, I can tell. * A solution based on prebuilt queries to select the appropriate template seems not so hard to implement only with Wikibase concepts, and deeply integrated to the mediawiki ecosystem, integrate Reasonator will probably eventually not result into such result. And yes, Reasonator is usable right now. So it's cool that this feature is not implemented right now :) And reasonator can follow its own path. 2014-12-30 12:28 GMT+01:00 Gerard Meijssen gerard.meijs...@gmail.com: Hoi, You also forget that it HAS been in use on several Wikipedias in the past. So when that was no problem why is it a problem that can not be overcome now and for now?

It is known for its relevance for the same long time.. So the value of this need is diminished by the lack of attention in the past. The point is that these excuses are very much in the way of us achieving our goal.. sharing in the sum of all knowledge. The knowledge in Wikidata is available knowledge to us so we do not have a valid excuse.

Yes, but the thing is that putting anything on production is not just including it there. The whole code needs to be reviewed and there are some limitations, especially with 3rd party libraries.

Re: [Wikidata-l] input for article placeholder
The problem is that we don't really know what topic the user is looking for, we just know a term (the search string or page title). The easiest thin to do would be to show an automatic disambiguation page, listing items that have a matching label or alias. That page would show the description for each such item, and a link to the corresponding page on the local wiki, if there is one. This sidesteps the question of how we might show a summary of some sort of a specific data item. If we want that, picking the appropriate infobox template would be nice, but I'm not sure how that could be done. -- daniel Am 29.12.2014 18:11, schrieb Lydia Pintscher: Hey folks :) People have been bugging me for a while now about this so I started a page to gather input. If you are searching for a topic on a Wikipedia for example but it doesn't have an article about it then we can look at Wikidata and see if there is a matching item for that topic. If we have data about it on Wikidata then we can show some kind of placeholder. But how should this look like and work? I'd love your input at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Article_placeholder_input Please keep in mind the important points at the beginning of that page. Also: If someone comes up with a better name for this that'd be awesome. 3 Cheers Lydia -- Daniel Kinzler Senior Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V. ___ Wikidata-l mailing list Wikidata-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-l
