Wikidata weekly summary #50
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week. Read the full report &middot; Unsubscribe &middot; Global message delivery 00:19, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Development
 * Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
 * Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
 * Fixed the prev/next links in diff view (45821)
 * d:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel now lets you filter by language and entity type
 * Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
 * Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
 * Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
 * Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
 * Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
 * Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
 * Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
 * Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
 * Support for multi-line references in diff view
 * Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
 * Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
 * Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
 * Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)
 * Discussions/Press
 * Denny had a look at some data about Wikidata
 * Events
 * 3rd Media Web Symposium 2013
 * Wikidata trifft Archäologie
 * SMWCon Spring NYC
 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Join us for the Amsterdam and Wikimania hackathon and Wikimania
 * Too many items with the same label and no description? Terminator helps you hunt them all down and clean them up. Also check out the top 1000
 * Interested in the distribution of books by genre on Wikidata and similar things? WikidataStats can help
 * d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot needs input from more people
 * Detailed list of bots
 * Collecting information about creating a bot
 * We’ve crossed Q8000000
 * Did you know?
 * When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.
 * Open Tasks for You
 * Hack on one of these
 * Still looking for the right way to contribute for you? Have a look at d:Wikidata:Contribute

Wikidata weekly summary #51
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
 * Development
 * The first 11 Wikipedias can now include data from Wikidata in their articles (If you want to see it in action see the infobox at it:Torino)
 * Worked on automatic summaries for statements
 * Worked on making properties accessible from the client using their label so you can use instead of  for example
 * Made qualifiers ready for the next deployment (Please test. See details further down.)
 * Selenium tests for qualifiers
 * Fixed some issues related to QUnit testing
 * Worked on improved handling and code design of multiple snak lists in the UI (qualifiers, references)
 * Discussions/Press
 * Denny wrote down how we’re planning to support queries on Wikidata. Feedback welcome.
 * Proposal for a vandalism policy
 * Now that improvements for references have been deployed here’s a discussion on the best way to use them. (You can see an example of how it could be used in the source for “CAS registry number” on Q153)
 * Should Wikidata have featured items?
 * RFC about restricting the ability to create properties to some users
 * Heise.de reporting about deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias
 * Report about a collaboration event between Wikipedians and archeologists
 * Events
 * Newline 2013
 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * We’re currently carefully monitoring performance after the deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias. There seem to be a few small issues. As soon as they are resolved we'll deploy on English Wikipedia. All other Wikipedias are planned to follow very soon after that.
 * Bye and a big thank you to Anja, Silke, Jens and John who are leaving the development team at the end of the month and will work on other cool things. You’ll be missed!
 * Ever had any doubt about the possibilities of Wikidata? Talk to Wiri!
 * We worked on reducing the time it takes for Wikidata edits to show up in the Wikipedias and made some progress. Daniel posted an analysis
 * We started running a script on the database in order to make search on Wikidata case-insensitive. This should be finished in a few days and then search should be more useful.
 * In addition to the above we have rolled out a new search box that suggests items. This should also make finding things on Wikidata a lot easier for you.
 * We’re making some progress with Internet Explorer 8 support but there are a lot of issues with it (some outside our control). It’s unclear at the moment how much we can improve it still without spending an unjustified amount of time on it. You can follow the progress at 44228
 * Edits are now auto-confirmed for users with more than 50 edits and account age 4 days: 46461
 * Do you need old-style interwiki links for a sister project for example? This is for you
 * The Wikimedia Foundation applied as a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code again. We have proposed some Wikidata projects for students to take up if the Foundation is accepted again. At least 2 other organisations that applied also propose Wikidata ideas. More details on that once we know which organisations are accepted.
 * Denny hacked together a tree of life based on data from Wikidata
 * Wikidata was added to wikipulse
 * A template to retrieve data from Wikidata if no local value is set
 * Did you know?
 * If you need to merge two items d:Help:Merge explains how
 * Open Tasks for You
 * See note at the end of this weekly summary
 * Help test qualifiers (Wikidata/Notes/Data model primer - see also example statements there) on the test wiki so we can roll it out with the next release
 * Did you file a bug report for Wikidata or did someone else do it for you? Please take a minute to check if it is still valid. (Thanks for filing it btw!)
 * Add some missing descriptions to those items with the same label?
 * Hack on one of these

Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on this discussion page? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) Read the full report &middot; Unsubscribe &middot; Global message delivery 20:36, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #52
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
 * Development
 * The first year is over. Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping to build Wikidata and making it more than we could possibly have hoped for already. <3
 * Put a lot of work into improved support for Internet Explorer 8
 * Worked on improving recent changes code in client
 * Finished valueview refactoring. Created new extension “ValueView”
 * Implemented string formatter
 * Discussions/Press
 * RFC for defining the bureaucrats role on Wikidata
 * RFC about statements for items related to software
 * Events
 * upcoming: GLAM-Wiki 2013
 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Deployment of phase 2 on English Wikipedia is currently planned for April 8. The remaining Wikipedias are scheduled for April 10. As usual this might change if we run into problems along the way.
 * There is now a page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.
 * There’s now a badge you can add to Wikipedia articles to indicate there is data about it on Wikidata
 * We hit Q10000000
 * A Wikidata item in the wild ;-)
 * Did you know?
 * There are a number of task forces that take care of specific jobs or topics on Wikidata
 * You can get database dumps to play with
 * There are a lot of stats about Wikidata on http://stats.wikimedia.org
 * Open Tasks for You
 * Hit a random item and add a missing source?
 * Hack on one of these

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome. Read the full report &middot; Unsubscribe &middot; Global message delivery 02:29, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #53
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
 * Development
 * Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
 * Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)
 * Worked on using Redis for job queue to improve the lag situation even further
 * Created new Wikibase Query extension for phase 3 functionality
 * Autocomments & Autosummaries for SetClaim module

 * We need feedback from contributors working on references addition or having tried to add references to statements. Please comment about your problems or your trials at d:Help:Sources
 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
 * Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
 * There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
 * If you're a student and interested in coding on Wikidata consider applying for Google Summer of Code.
 * There is a new user right: property creators
 * There is now a page to request deletion of a property
 * We now have Bureaucrats
 * Reasonator was improved and extended (1 2)
 * Open Tasks for You
 * Hack on one of these
 * Help draft the next weekly summary

 * Yes, that does seem in keeping with his attitude... =) I've copied over the testcases from Template:px/doc to Template:px/testcases and can see that some of them fail on the sandbox copy. I also note that Infobox musical artist uses Module:InfoboxImage, which may have contributed to the breakage, so px needs appropriate testcases of that usage added as well, but I don't know enough about using it to do so myself (and the breathless nature of the appropriate code in Infobox musical artist doesn't help with my understanding of it at all =P ). I may make another edit or two to the sandbox, just for fun's sake, but I'll leave the main template alone after that little kerfluffle. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 17:48, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Regarding the "Retired" pane on your user talk page
Hello Good Friend :) !! There is a "This user is retired" declaration on the top of this page. Since you are still editing wikipedia I think you should remove it. Sorry if I poked my nose in your matters without knowing the full context.

Thanx :)

King Of The Wise (talk) 09:28, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello King of the Wise! My view of the "retired" tag has always been that it should reflect the editor's wishes, regardless of whether they are still actually editing (so long as they are not obviously still active or attempting to use the tag for mischievous reasons). And if you look at my contributions, you'll notice that, while I do still edit, there is no regularity to it whatsoever - I might edit a dozen times in a week, then go several months without editing. It comes down to what pages I happen to be looking at and what I feel like doing. Despite this, I do consider myself to be retired from Wikipedia, so to my mind, at least, the tag is appropriate. I go into a bit more detail in my retirement message. Cheers! =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 16:38, 28 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, well allright then. I guess everyone has his own views. I had not opened your user page before, I guess I should have had. Anyways, sorry if i disturbed you.

TheMindCrapAddict
Check back at Sockpuppet investigations/TheMindCrapAddict for a response from me. Nyttend (talk) 17:01, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Incredibly overdue thanks for your 2010 efforts in my sandbox!
Since I became chronically ill (waaay before I joined WP), I'm not good at following-up on things. I tend to deal with whatever pops up in front of me when I'm capable of recognizing & dealing with it, which of course happens randomly & doesn't last always long enough for me to finish things. I mention this to explain why I'm replying so late.

I'm grateful that WP & WPians help me keep my hand in my old talents somewhat, so that if I can ever control my illness enough to work, I'll be okay. Eh, that's not exactly what I meant to say, which shows I need to wrap things up & nap. Again. Anyway, I responded twice to you on my talk page and I finally figured out the whole redirect thing and was able to find the history of my sandbox, rather than that of the page in the article namespace.

Belated thanks! --Geekdiva (talk) 19:50, 1 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Aah! Heh, it's been so long, I'd completely forgotten about that and had to go do a bit of looking to figure out what you were talking about. =X
 * If you'd still like to delete the sandbox page(s), you can let me know here, or tag them with db-userreq. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 23:34, 1 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, please delete it! Thanks very much for seeing to this even though you are retired. --Geekdiva (talk) 23:56, 1 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Not a problem; while I am for all intents and purposes retired from Wikipedia, I'm active on other wikis now and try to make it a point to keep up with messages left on my talk page here. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:13, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

TheMindCrapAddict SPI
Hi. I'm confused by something in Sockpuppet investigations/TheMindCrapAddict and am hoping you can clear it up for me. You listed the IP address as a suspected sockpuppet — indeed, apparently the only suspected sockpuppet here, aside from possible sleeper accounts (which a CheckUser check failed to find). But I can't see any edits at all associated with this IP address, so I'm wondering why it was listed. Did you perhaps mistype an IP address here? If you can clear up this point, I and other people working at SPI would be grateful; otherwise, it will probably be necessary to close this case without any further action. Thanks. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:34, 5 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Aah, I thought it was clear in my opening comment, but I suppose not: the whole reason I filed the SPI (and originally reported it to ANI) is because TheMindCrapAddict posted on my Minecraft wiki talk page their intent to engage in sockpuppetry; they did so from the IP address I listed, as can be seen by clicking the diff link I posted. Sorry for the confusion, and I hope this clarifies things! 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:49, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

Null edit
You have the retired tag, but you also responded to a random question yesterday. So here's hoping you see this one:

The job queue managed to fix 99.99% of the 2.5m transclusions of an obsoleted template, but your Lockbox page has been sitting there for a few days, and I can't do anything because it's fully protected. If you could just give that page a quick null edit, that should solve the issue and would be much appreciated. moluɐɯ 12:52, 30 July 2014 (UTC)


 * ✅, though it required a bit more than just a null edit. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:49, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Inconsequential edits to highly visible templates
Module:Navbox has over 2 million transclusions. Please don't make inconsequential edits to it, like Special:Diff/634041458, since it puts tremendous strain on the job queue for no real benefit. Instead, make your changes to the sandbox, and they'll get brought along next time a substantive edit is made. Jackmcbarn (talk) 05:45, 16 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Aah, sorry about that, I've grown too accustomed to editing things (CSS and Javascript), or in places (where the most-transcluded templates' transclusions number only in the tens of thousands, or even far less), where straining the job queue isn't nearly such a concern. I'll definitely try to remember this in the future, and restrain myself accordingly here. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:01, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Shonen Jump (magazine)
Hi, Dinoguy1000. I know that you're retired and you don't know me, but I need your help. You're listed at WikiProject Anime and manga/Manga magazines as having the issues I need of the Shonen Jump magazine. My main request is a preview of Wāqwāq on the August 2009 issue. Also, there is an interview with Riichiro Inagaki on the February 2006 issue, and an interview with Hiroyuki Takei on an unspecified issue of 2005 (I only know it, unfortunately; it's cited here). I wonder if you could help me. Cheers, Gabriel Yuji (talk) 01:26, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Ok, thank you! Gabriel Yuji (talk) 18:36, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hm... As you asked me here I'm after a week. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 19:48, 22 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Aah, thanks for the reminder; I thought I was forgetting something. I've uploaded images of the Inagaki interview to Imgur; it was on pages 14-15. The Takei interview gave me considerably more trouble, and I spent quite a while poring over my 2005 issues before concluding the date is wrong and delving into previous issues; I finally found it in the August 2003 issue on pages 3 and 24. On my way, though, I found another interview with him in the March 2004 issue on page 7; it might have some more tidbits you can use. If you need better images or typed transcripts, let me know; I don't do much photography, and working by myself trying to manage the magazines and my smartphone while getting the angle right to minimize glare doesn't work very well. =X And if you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask, and I'll try not to take a week again to reply. =D
 * I'm afraid you'll have to provide more info on what exactly you need out of the Waqwaq preview issue. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 03:59, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Wowow, I only saw it now. Thank you!!! Gabriel Yuji (talk) 02:39, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Hm, about the Takei's interviews I would wanna know what's the volume and the issue of them. About Waqwaq, I can't say with sure what I want as I don't know what info there is the magazine. However, my main focus is to get info on production (to create something similar to Shaman King or Eyeshield 21); all info is good, though. Regards, Gabriel Yuji (talk) 03:09, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * The August 2003 issue should be volume 1 issue 8, I think, and the March 2004 issue should be volume 2, issue 3 (though if I remember correctly, it was shown to just be issue 15) - the volume number is simply the current year of production of the magazine, starting with volume 1 in 2003 when the magazine started, and the issue number is just the number of the cover date's month.
 * Unfortunately, the only info on Waqwaq was just a very brief, in-universe background info page; the only real out-of-universe bit of info it had that would be remotely useful is that the series started in 2004, which is already mentioned in the article. Other than that one page, it was just the preview chapter itself and an advert or two. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:03, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Hm, it's a pity there's nothing more about Waqwaq. Thank you very much, anyway!! Gabriel Yuji (talk) 19:27, 29 July 2014 (UTC)


 * No problem, and once again, let me know if there's anything else I might be able to help with. ^^ 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 19:46, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Hey, as you were so nice and showed to be willing to help again, here I am. Would you mind to find the page for a possible interview by Masashi Kishimoto in the May 2006 issue of Shonen Jump and tell me if there's something more on Rocke Lee (or any other character)? Gabriel Yuji (talk) 04:58, 9 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'll try to get to this tomorrow. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 05:04, 9 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay; this completely slipped my mind (now why does that sound familiar)!
 * I found the interview, it's on pages 4 (here) and 6 (here) (but not page 5! that's a Yu-Gi-Oh! advert, if you're wondering) in the May 2006 issue (volume 4, issue 5). The author of the interview wasn't noted (though the Jojo inteview's author was >_> ) And since I couldn't find it before, the ISSN for Shonen Jump is 1545-7818. Again, let me know if you need a transcript or anything else. =) 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 00:41, 16 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Don't worry; there's no rush at all, and thank you! The scans are pretty readable so there's no need of a transcription. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 01:36, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey, here I am again. On the same topic but on a different subject. The sources were very useful and are completely detailed, I guess. However, now Wikipedia is requiring title for publications and all them have a CS1 error "Missing or empty |title=". Could you help me giving the titles (if there is one...) of Wāqwāq, Eyeshield_21, Shaman_King, Shaman_King, and Rock_Lee? Greetings, Gabriel Yuji (talk) 23:05, 20 April 2015 (UTC)


 * If I recall correctly, author interviews generally don't have any special title; they're usually referred to as something along the lines of "Interview with name". I can check the specific features you asked about to see if any of them were given a unique title, but in the meantime I'd recommend just going with the generic form. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 02:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)


 * For now, I've discovered that "title=none" works but how you going? Gabriel Yuji (talk) 19:31, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
