Bug #: 36519
Summary: Unwanted data injected into items
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: WikidataRepo
AssignedTo: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: jeb...@gmail.com
CC: wikidata-b...@lists.wikimedia.org
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
In the present version of Wikidata it is possible to add all kinds of stuff
into an item by creating a valid JSON structure and saving it. This could
create serious problems with data integrity and consistency.
There are several ways to clean up the structure, and one of the simplest is
perhaps to traverse the structure and flag those branches and leafs that can't
be somehow validated as legal. Note that the focus should be on letting a legal
structure pass after successful tests, and not on failing an illegal one.
