TASK DESCRIPTION
Most namespaces on Wikidata are no longer declaring the `defaultcontentmodel`
in action=query+meta=siteinfo+siprop=namespaces, e.g. the main (Item) namespace:
$ curl -s
'https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces&formatversion=2&format=json'
| jq '.query.namespaces["0"]'
{
"id": 0,
"case": "first-letter",
"name": "",
"subpages": false,
"content": true,
"nonincludable": false
}
In fact, only four namespaces still declare it:
$ curl -s
'https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=namespaces&formatversion=2&format=json'
| jq '.query.namespaces | .[] | select(has("defaultcontentmodel")) | { id,
canonical, defaultcontentmodel }'
{
"id": 640,
"canonical": "EntitySchema",
"defaultcontentmodel": "EntitySchema"
}
{
"id": 641,
"canonical": "EntitySchema talk",
"defaultcontentmodel": "wikitext"
}
{
"id": 2302,
"canonical": "Gadget definition",
"defaultcontentmodel": "GadgetDefinition"
}
{
"id": 2600,
"canonical": "Topic",
"defaultcontentmodel": "flow-board"
}
One outcome of this is that Pywikibot refuses to operate on Wikidata, since
it thinks the Item entity type isn’t supported:
>>> import pywikibot
>>> site = pywikibot.Site("wikidata", "wikidata")
>>> item = pywikibot.ItemPage(site, "Q42")
