- Papers: Understanding Wikidata - Wikidata is extremely valuable as a data source to supplement, validate and extend existing knowledge bases and applications. To effectively utilize Wikidata in a Semantic Web application, one must understand its design, terminology and correspondence with ontological concepts (especially RDF and OWL). This paper attempts to explain and position this information. (by AWesterinen)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- Web browsers can use tools called extensions. There is now a Chrome extension called Citation Needed which you can use to see if an online statement is supported by a Wikipedia article. This is a small experiment to see if Wikipedia can be used this way. Because it is a small experiment, it can only be used in Chrome in English.
A new
Edit Recovery feature has been added to all wikis, available as a
user preference. Once you enable it, your in-progress edits will be stored in your web browser, and if you accidentally close an editing window or your browser or computer crashes, you will be prompted to recover the unpublished text. Please leave any feedback on the
project talk page. This was the #8 wish in the 2023 Community Wishlist Survey.- Initial results of Edit check experiments have been published. Edit Check is now deployed as a default feature at the wikis that tested it. Let us know if you want your wiki to be part of the next deployment of Edit check. [1] [2]
- Readers using the Minerva skin on mobile will notice there has been an improvement in the line height across all typography settings. [3]
Changes later this week
The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 9 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 10 April. It will be on all wikis from 11 April (
calendar).
[4]
[5]- New accounts and logged-out users will get the visual editor as their default editor on mobile. This deployment is made at all wikis except for the English Wikipedia. [6]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [7] [8]
Changes later this week
- The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (
calendar).
[9]
[10]
- Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [11]
- A new variable
page_last_edit_agewill be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [12]
Future changes
- Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including
Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filterandabuse_filter_historytables. Some queries might need to be updated. [13]

Miriam Grossman moved to draftspace
Thanks for your contributions to Miriam Grossman. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because John at having three books does not prove notability. Please read carefully the requirements are WP:N. If you feel you can meet them revise and submit for review. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Ldm1954 ( talk) 12:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
.jpg)
- The appearance of talk pages changed for the following wikis: Azerbaijani Wikipedia, Bengali Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Persian Wikipedia, Hebrew Wikipedia, Hindi Wikipedia, Indonesian Wikipedia, Korean Wikipedia, Dutch Wikipedia, Portuguese Wikipedia, Romanian Wikipedia, Thai Wikipedia, Turkish Wikipedia, Ukrainian Wikipedia, Vietnamese Wikipedia. These wikis participated to a test, where 50% of users got the new design, for one year. As this test gave positive results, the new design is deployed on these wikis as the default design. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at all wikis in the coming weeks. [18]
- Seven new wikis have been created:
- You can now watch message groups/projects on Translatewiki.net. Initially, this feature will notify you of added or deleted messages in these groups. [26]
- Dark mode is now available on all wikis, on mobile web for logged-in users who opt into the advanced mode. This is the early release of the feature. Technical editors are invited to check for accessibility issues on wikis. See more detailed guidelines.
Problems
-
Kartographer maps can use an alternative visual style without labels, by using
mapstyle="osm". This wasn't working in previews, creating the wrong impression that it wasn't supported. This has now been fixed. [27]
Changes later this week
- The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 May. It will be on all wikis from 2 May (
calendar).

MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 05:21, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- The appearance of talk pages changed for all wikis, except for Commons, Wikidata and most Wikipedias ( a few have already received this design change). You can read the detail of the changes on Diff. It is possible to opt-out these changes in user preferences ("Show discussion activity"). The deployment will happen at remaining wikis in the coming weeks. [30] [31]
- Interface admins now have greater control over the styling of article components on mobile with the introduction of the
SiteAdminHelper. More information on how styles can be disabled can be found at the extension's page. [32] -
Wikimedia Enterprise has added article body sections in JSON format and a curated short description field to the existing parsed Infobox. This expansion to the API is also available via Wikimedia Cloud Services.
[33]
Changes later this week
- The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 7 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 8 May. It will be on all wikis from 9 May (
calendar).
[34]
[35]
- When you look at the Special:Log page, the first view is labelled "All public logs", but it only shows some logs. This label will now say "Main public logs". [36]
Future changes
- A new service will be built to replace Extension:Graph. Details can be found in the latest update regarding this extension.
- Starting May 21, English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia will get the possibility to activate " Add a link". This is part of the progressive deployment of this tool to all Wikipedias. These communities can activate and configure the feature locally. [37]

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!
- 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, 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.

- 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. For more details, visit User:M.alten.tue

Annie Hamilton (actress) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created,
Annie Hamilton (actress), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- On Wikisource there is a special page listing pages of works without corresponding scan images. Now you can use the new magic word
__EXPECTWITHOUTSCANS__to exclude certain pages (list of editions or translations of works) from that list. [38] - If you use the user-preference "Show preview without reloading the page", then the template-page feature "Preview page with this template ( what's this?)" will now also work without reloading the page. [39]
-
Kartographer maps can now specify an alternative text via the
alt=attribute. This is identical in usage to thealt=attribute in the image and gallery syntax. An exception for this feature is wikis like Wikivoyage where the miniature maps are interactive. [40] - The old Guided Tour for the " New Filters for Edit Review" feature has been removed. It was created in 2017 to show people with older accounts how the interface had changed, and has now been seen by most of the intended people. [41]
Changes later this week
- The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 14 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 15 May. It will be on all wikis from 16 May (
calendar).
[42]
[43]
- The
Special:Search results page will now use CSS flex attributes, for better accessibility, instead of a table. If you have a gadget or script that adjusts search results, you should update your script to the new HTML structure.
[44]
Future changes
- In the Vector 2022 skin, main pages will be displayed at full width (like special pages). The goal is to keep the number of characters per line large enough. This is related to the coming changes to typography in Vector 2022. Learn more. [45]
- Two columns of the
pagelinksdatabase table (pl_namespaceandpl_title) are being dropped soon. Users must use two columns of the newlinktargettable instead (lt_namespaceandlt_title). In your existing SQL queries:- Replace
JOIN pagelinkswithJOIN linktargetandpl_withlt_in theONstatement - Below that add
JOIN pagelinks ON lt_id = pl_target_id
- See phab:T222224 for technical reasoning. [46] [47]
- Replace

Hello, Thriley,
Thank you for creating George Black (author).
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Hi there. While doing New Page Review on pages created in January (trying to tackle the backlog) I came across this one. I see you moved this to mainspace just today; however, after reviewing these and other sources I disagree that the subject passes GNG or NBIO. I'll give some time for you to add anything though before I complete New Page Review. Thanks!

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Recent changes
- The Nuke feature, which enables administrators to mass delete pages, will now correctly delete pages which were moved to another title. [48]
- New changes have been made to the UploadWizard in Wikimedia Commons: the overall layout has been improved, by following new styling and spacing for the form and its fields; the headers and helper text for each of the fields was changed; the Caption field is now a required field, and there is an option for users to copy their caption into the media description. [49] [50]
Changes later this week
- The
new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 21 May. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 22 May. It will be on all wikis from 23 May (
calendar).
[51]
[52]
- The HTML used to render all headings
is being changed to improve accessibility. It will change on 22 May in some skins (Timeless, Modern, CologneBlue, Nostalgia, and Monobook). Please test gadgets on your wiki on these skins and
report any related problems so that they can be resolved before this change is made in all other skins. The developers are also considering the introduction of a
Gadget API for adding buttons to section titles if that would be helpful to tool creators, and would appreciate any input you have on that.

- Wikidata to split as sheer volume of information overloads infrastructure, by Bluerasberry. "The split will create a WikiCite graph separate from the main Wikidata graph. The main Wikidata graph will retain content of broader interest, including items for authors, journals, publishers, and anything with a page in a Wikimedia project."
- Learnings from AI and Heritage inclusive Metadata requires more than erasing stereotyping terms - this article explores the presence of contentious terms in Wikidata labels.
- Reconciling Shira: Wikibase Cloud and OpenRefine - as part of the Shira project to document and digitise Penn University's Jewish music collections, the author gives a step-by-step process on installing OpenRefine for Wikibase Cloud instances.
- Papers
- Camillo Carlo Pellizzari di San Girolamo, Storia della collaborazione tra Wikidata e le biblioteche della Rete URBE nel controllo di autorità. Abstract: "The contribution draws a history of the presence of the identifiers of the authority records of the URBE network libraries in Wikidata, and of the collaboration that has evolved since 2020 between the Wikidata community and the cataloguers of the URBE network libraries, relating to the harmonisation of these authority records with Wikidata and the improvement of the quality of the respective data. The first part of the contribution traces the main stages of collaboration in chronological order, while the second part of the contribution presents the main areas in which the collaboration materialises (or can materialise) in the daily authority work carried out by cataloguers in theme-based groupings".
- Using Open Data to Automatically Generate Localized Analogies. Numerical analogies that translate unfamiliar measurements into familiar reference objects (e.g., “275k sq miles is roughly as large as Texas”). By "Sofia Eleni Spatharioti, Daniel G. Goldstein, Jake M. Hofman"

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Sugrue
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Michael Sugrue requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Sugrue. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Nomination of Zoraya ter Beek for deletion
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zoraya ter Beek until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.Hemiauchenia ( talk) 17:08, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Newest properties and property proposals to review
- Newest General datatypes:
- category for births in this time period (category item for people who born in this time period)
- category for deaths in this time period (category item for people who died in this time period)
- representation type (property to indicate the representation type as a qualifier for Wikimedia Commons SDC Depicts statements of such Wikidata items)
- source of transfer (entity that a transferred item is initially associated with, before this process associates it with another entity)
- destination of transfer (entity that a transferred item comes to be associated with as a result of this process)
- LombardiaBeniCulturali collection ID (ID of a collection on lombardiabeniculturali.it)
- population by native language (native language population of a place)
- tartan (item's tartan; Tartan is a Scottish cloth pattern symbolizing a clan, region, or group.)
- Newest External identifiers: FilmVandaag ID, FBW ID, Encyclopedia of the Middle Ages ID, Jerusalem Film Cinematheque person ID, PitchBook profile ID, New Oxford American Dictionary ID, Stichting Erfgoed Nederlandse Biercultuur brewery ID, Gentoo Wiki article ID, Dhliz ID, RAG ID, The Sounds Resource game ID, The Lost Media Wiki page ID, Cbonds company profile, Iconoteca dell'Accademia di architettura ID, Kōmako author ID, urban area census code, The Law Dictionary entry, CDC Stacks ID, Authority file of the Iraqi Authors, Gentoo GURU package ID, TheLegacy game ID, Explanatory Ukrainian Dictionary ID, Grand Theft Wiki ID, Folkets lexikon ID, Pushkin Museum artist ID, Virtual Russian Museum artist ID, LGD Block Code, Australian Oxford Dictionary ID, ICPE establishment ID, case number (mainland China), Lille norske leksikon ID, WiiG.de developer ID, WiiG.de publisher ID, The New Zealand Oxford Dictionary ID, Azerbaijani National Assembly ID, Canadian Oxford Dictionary ID, GOG product ID, Archnet authority ID, Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable ID, Comprehensive Dictionary of the Contemporary Ukrainian Language ID, Archaeological investigations in Hungary ID, Global Egyptian Museum ID, Historic Synagogues of Europe ID, TheLegacy company ID, Nintendo Life game ID, Push Square game ID, Pure Xbox game ID, Palula dictionary ID, Oxford Dictionary of English entry ID, Slovenian Etymological Dictionary ID, Jedipedia.net ID
- New General datatypes property proposals to review:
- last appearance (last work featuring a fictional character or item)
- is ontological root of (forms the root element of the ontology)
- located in the Islamic territorial entity (the item is located on the territory of the following Islamic entity.)
- address of addressee (address of the address e.g. on a postcard)
- TheaterEncyclopedie ID (An item of the TheaterEncyclopedie)
- relates to sustainable development goal, target or indicator (indicates a relation between the subject and the SDGs or one of the components)
- taxon synonym of (taxon item (considered a preferred name according to a given reference) of which this taxon name is a synonym - the new property will be the inverse property of {{P|1420}})
- Competitor (Competitors in game shows)
- basionym of (taxon item of which this taxon name is a basionym (original name, for botanical and similar items) - inverse property of {{P|566}})
- land acknowledgement ()
- protonym of (taxon item of which this taxon name is a protonym (original name, for zoological taxa) - inverse property of {{P|1403}})
- replaced synonym of (taxon item which replaced this taxon name (now only a synonym) - inverse property of {{P|694}})
- student count by gender (I think there should be a way to document the number of students at a university by their gender, as data for student counts (at least if they come from GENESIS Online - german universities) contain that data divided in male and female students. I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)
- has semantic role (item that describes a role in an event class)
- New External identifier property proposals to review: Perlego ID, Bokkilden ID, Wardah Books ID, NLR editions, glubinka.by, Transfermarkt competition ID, Quranic Arabic Corpus topic ID, Oxford Encyclopedia of the Islamic World: Digital Collection ID, The Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature ID, The Oxford Companion to World Mythology ID, Yandex.Music track ID, promodj album ID, The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Modern World ID, The Oxford Companion to the Mind ID, Arkitekturguide for Nord-Norge og Svalbard ID, person ID in MNAHA, New Oxford Rhyming Dictionary ID, IAFD actor UUID, The Oxford Dictionary of the Middle Ages ID, Zoraptera Species File taxon ID, Dermaptera Species File taxon ID, Plecoptera Species File taxon ID, Grylloblattodea Species File taxon ID, Mantophasmatodea Species File taxon ID, Dictionary of Taiwan Hakka ID, vehicle keeper marking / VKM, Embioptera Species File taxon ID, Isoptera Species File taxon ID, Aphid Species File taxon ID, Coleorrhyncha Species File taxon ID, LGD Subdistrict Code, PLC (Primary Location Code), Sinhala Cinema Database ID, LGD District Code, LGD Village Code, LGD State or UT Code, Korrespondenzen der Frühromantik, Bundes-Klinik-Atlas Hospital ID, JJM Habitation id, McDonald's US product, Justapedia, Atarimuseum ID, PNG School Code, Filozofia jezuitów w Polsce w XX wieku ID, Garner's Modern American Usage ID, Meurgorf historical dictionary, SNARC ID, milog.co.il entry ID, Green's Dictionary of Slang (Oxford Reference) ID, F.C.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rob Nixon
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Rob Nixon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 22:42, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello Thriley,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Scott Wampler for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
