Wikidata weekly summary #653

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2024-11-11. Missed the previous one? See issue #652

Events

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

Tool of the week

  • Wikidata Edits Heatmap: Real-time map that visualizes recent changes in Wikidata with geospatial markers showing the location of updated Items.
  • Western world versus the rest of the world: a tool computing the distribution of mentioned entities in Misplaced Pages articles between Western world and the rest of the world.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

  • Starting ca. today (11 November 2024), tools or bots which use the wiki replicas (such as Quarry) will observe outdated data for up to 8-10 days, as a result of necessary database maintenance (T367856). Tools or bots which use the APIs will not be affected.
  • Job vacancy Product Manager: Wikibase Suite: Wikibase Suite allows institutions to create and host their own linked knowledge base with maximum customizability, this role will be responsible for the vision and strategy of this exciting product!

Newest properties and property proposals to review

You can comment on all open property proposals!

Did you know?

Development

  • Lua: We changed the Wikibase function getAllStatements logic to behave as getBestStatements. When invoked, it was returning mutable direct-values, now it will return a copy of those values (which are immutable). (phab:T270851)
  • Wikibase REST API:
  • Configuration: We removed 'mainpage' from $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg for Wikidata as requested so translations of the main page are available (phab:T184386)
  • mul language code: We moved it to the top of the termbox so labels and aliases in mul are visible first (phab:T371802)
  • Revision table size: We are investigating the current state of the revision table of Wikidata's database and what the next steps should be to address its issues.
