If I understand you correctly, the redlink wont be touched, but the empty
page will show reasonator data on it (ideally displayed using the
approptiate infobox). That would help readers and (source editor) writers,

Hi folks,
I've just uploaded the wiki and PDF versions of the Foundation's most
recent, 2012-13 Annual Report, a project I was invited to work on after my
departure as comms director back in September. You can access a wiki and
PDF version here:

Can you explain how such a {{Reasonator}} template would actually work. You
say that it would be a stand-in until the article was actually written, but
how would it know when the article is actually written? Is there a way to
access the target article's state via Lua?
From a community perspective,
Hoi,
Given that Reasonator requests services through Javascript, it will likely
piggy back on the Wikidata infrastructure. As caching is as far as I know
not implemented on Wikidata, it will benefit everyone when caching for
Wikidata gets on the WMF-Ops agenda.
Until now Wikidata is considered to
On a technical note, Reasonator is pure JavaScript, so should be easily
portable, even to a Wikipedia:Reasonator.js page (or several pages, with
support JS).

I have to say that much as I would like to have the opportunity for us, as
the community, to participate in the process, I understand that this could
likely deter many quality people from applying (and we don't want only
those who are currently between jobs, right?).

I am sure it is technically feasible, its just not realistic from a hiring
perspective. I cannot tell a potential candidate that process includes a public
vetting process, this is something that is just not going to happen. We are

Hi Nemo,
Well, as I said it is an experiment and we can't be sure someting coherent
will come out of it. Therefore, in a true "liquid lobbying" fashion, we're
running a two-tiered strategy.

Hoi,
At this moment Wikipedia "red links" provide no information whatsoever.
This is not cool.
In Wikidata we often have labels for the missing (=red link) articles. We
can and do provide information from Wikidata in a reasonable way that is
informative in the "Reasonator". We also provide additi
Thanks Jan-Bart for the answer.

Sorry, I'll clarify: it would be a "fiasco" (only) if you had the same

We see this as a social experiment, since no one until now has ever
attempted to answer collaboratively and publicly such short-termed and

Yep, it's a big effort. I've not yet understood how you plan to make a

I'm not sure I understand how it would be infeasible. It's 2014, not 1814.

Hi everyone,
Just a quick reminder that we have 6 more days to collaboratively draft
answers to the European Commission's copyright consultation.
The idea is to give the global, online community a chance to come up with
answers that, if coherent enough, can then be officially given to the

Hi Pavel,
Thanks very much for clarifying the way you're thinking about the process.
It sounds like we're heading in the right direction together. :-) We'll get
feedback from everyone at the WM Conference, and use it as inputs into the

I'm not sure that the FDC process

I will write an update for the meta page in the coming week or so but just to

Hey
There is no “community consultation” period in the selection proces. Its simply
not feasible or desirable to have someone have a public “vetting” phase. The
good news is that you elected representatives on the board who have a strong
voice in the selection process and final approval.
