Wikidata weekly summary #626


'' Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week. This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2024-05-06. Translations are available.''



 Discussions 
 * Reminder: the period for feedback on the Wikidata Query Service graph split ruleset closes on 15-May-2024. More information here!

 Events 
 * The Wikimedia Hackathon 2024 took place in Tallinn, Estonia. Wikimedians from all over came together to hack on a huge variety of topics, including Wikidata and Wikibase topics. See the entire Program
 * International Museum Day 2024 on Wikimedia: Take part in the translation, media, and data challenges!
 * Registration for Wiki Workshop 2024 is now open! The event will be virtually held on *June 20, 12:00-18:30 UTC
 * Coordinate Me 2024 is an international Wikidata competition taking place over the month of May. This year, the focus is on enriching or creating Wikidata items with the Property: Coordinate Location (P625). To participate, |first enroll on the dashboard to ensure your edits are tracked.

 Press, articles, blog posts, videos 
 * Papers: MisgenderMender - A community-informed approach to interventions of misgendering.
 * Videos
 * Intro to Wikidata Query Service - hosted by User:Gnoeee, this comprehensive video will equip newcomers to Wikidata with the skills to effectively start querying Wikidata.
 * Siobhan Leachman, NZ Citizen Scientist and Wikipedian - CitSciOz23 Keynote Speaker, this prolific editor discusses her passions and workflows for contributing and enriching Wikidata on topics as diverse as women scientists, scientific illustrators, artworks and citation data, moths and more.
 * WikiSearch from Wikibase Data - Wout Geveart shows how the WikiSearch extension is using Wikibase data to explore and visualise the data in new ways.
 * WikimediaAPIs: a WM Technology Training Session - Mr. Neechalkaran of the WM Indic MediaWiki Developers Usergroup introduces the function and utility of WM projects APIs, including the REST AOI, the Wikidata API and more.
 * Accessing Wikidata's Data: An Introduction to the Wikidata REST API (Zoom recording). A WikiMentor Africa session by Eugene Egbe.

 Tool of the week 
 * Wikidata periodic table - Tool by User:Ricordisamoa, to browse all chemical elements available on Wikidata, with atomic number, chemical symbol, and localized label. It also includes two charts of the nuclides, with links to every isotope in Wikidata, colored by half-life or decay mode.

 Other Noteworthy Stuff 
 * A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13.
