[02:29:37] hi every one just one stupid question if it's possible [02:30:35] if I add the author of a book in the Q, do I need to also go to the author item to add the book ? [02:31:21] tobias47n9e__, are you here ? [02:32:19] anyone here ? [07:13:52] Hi guys. I found a German wikipedia article that does not link to other language articles in the left sidebar: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprafluidität even though it is included in the Wikidata item: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q106667 I did not find the {{noexternallanglinks}} magic word and am at my wit's end. Can you people help me fix this? [07:13:53] 10[1] 04https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:noexternallanglinks [07:27:26] lianna: i see links in the sidebar [07:27:37] maybe someone purged the page (?action=purge) [07:27:54] but then i am logged in [07:28:45] Huh, it's working for me now. So next time I just need to purge it to make the links show up? Thanks :). [07:29:48] the links should be there automatically and otherwise purge usually works [07:30:29] Thank you, I will keep this in mind for the future:). [07:33:06] kthxbye ^^ [10:41:02] oh wmde has a staff page! https://www.wikimedia.de/wiki/Mitarbeitende [10:41:18] anyway, addshore kudos on the extension distributor dashboard https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/extension-distributor-downloads [10:41:24] addshore: that is very well done [11:14:36] hashar: many thanks! [11:15:26] hashar: I might try and throw some more of my free time at the extension distributor stuff [12:10:05] hi wikidata channel [12:14:34] I’m a complete newbie regarding wikidata query…I would like to use wikidata in an upcoming ios app to display births, deaths, events on a particular day but I’m not even sure this is the right way to go…I’ve seen other developers scrapping the wikipedia webpage but it seems less reliable to me [12:17:07] mathieu28: what query instance are your referring to? [12:19:18] well I tried the sparql endpoint since I could not figure a way to do it using wbsearchentities [12:19:48] I wanted to use a sparql query like the one linked here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Indexing/SPARQL_Query_Examples#Whose_birthday_is_today.3F [12:20:05] unfortunately the sample keeps throwing an exception [12:20:46] (however it does work by replacing the P569 birth properties with the P570...) [12:22:47] Hm, weird. [12:26:05] given my use-case (retrieve births, deaths, events that occurred on a given day), is wikidata the best way to go? Between the sparql endpoint, the mediawiki API, the wikidata-toolkit, I'm not really sure where to start [13:13:14] mathieu28: the mediawiki api is generally only useful if you have some ids and want to get the data for them, it doesn't really support searching (you can do some generic mediawiki things like fetch all pages which link to another page, but you can't query the data). for querying the data, the sparql endpoint is the official thing to use. I'm not familiar with wikidata-toolkit so I can't comment on that [13:16:15] the error seems to be because the query is taking too long to run, I don't know much about how it works, but I've had problems with the "SERVICE wikibase:label" bit making queries time out, if I manually fetch the labels for the items instead (e.g. http://tinyurl.com/h79vzor), it seems to work [13:18:18] oh, but that will only return things which have an english label... if I add optional { } around it, it times out again :( [13:22:06] well, adding an order by makes it time out as well [13:28:15] nikki: I guess that's why it says beta :) [13:28:40] probably, yeah :) [14:52:30] jzerebecki: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/254064 [15:25:05] harej: WIKIDATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [15:25:21] ... Topic set by JohnFLewis uid17799@wikimedia/John-F-Lewis Wed Jun 17 14:34:12 2015 [15:25:25] RIP && PBUH. [15:25:26] Why do you keep picking the names of people I know [15:25:44] And why can't you be one name such as "Annemarie" in 2010 [15:25:45] harej: I work with a Mr. Hare. [15:25:51] There are many of us. [15:25:54] I do use one name. [15:25:59] One at a time! [15:26:17] Am I breaking your /ignore? You can use just use my hostmask. ;-) [15:26:26] I don't have /ignore [15:26:34] Or rather, I'm not using it. [15:26:38] :-) [15:26:52] When will the English Wikipedia get arbitrary Wikidata querying? [15:30:26] in September 2015 ? [15:33:41] Leah: That's already in place and can be used (if you mean arbitrary access) [15:50:17] Really? [15:50:38] Is it being done anywhere? [15:50:43] hoo: ^ [15:50:53] I'd like to be able to auto-generate tables from Wikidata data. [15:51:53] aude: around? would you mind if I added something to that patch for SWAT? [16:51:48] I disconnected, grrrr. [16:52:39] Pyb: Do you know of where arbitrary Wikidata access is being used from the English Wikipedia? [20:50:34] hi! I wanted to use wikidata query service, I want to retrieve the namtes of all turing awards winners [20:50:54] my wuery so far: SELECT ?turingAwardWinnerName WHERE { ?turingAwardWinnerName p:166 q:Q185667 . } [20:51:02] what am i missing? [20:52:56] wdt:P166 wd:Q185667 [20:54:59] Harmonia_Amanda: yes thats why I have included in my query [20:55:01] wikiQuery: it work http://tinyurl.com/q9dk62p [20:55:02] but the result is empty? [20:55:13] how to query the name? [20:55:51] Harmonia_Amanda: ah i see! i used wrong prefix! thanks! [20:56:31] how can I get the name of the returned persons? which property is that? [20:56:40] use SERVICE wikibase:label [21:07:33] addshore: oh wikidata is not on the featured list anymore as it has limit 10 [21:11:23] Harmonia_Amanda: how would I include the date for recieved? http://tinyurl.com/pl269sa [21:11:56] I dunno, how is the information added on wikidata? with qualifier? with a property? [21:12:14] and what do you want? to order the results by date? [21:12:22] to delete some results by date? [21:12:38] its [21:12:59] its P585 on the award recieved [21:13:18] I just want the names and the date, thats all [21:14:32] you search for people items with the property:award and the value turing award, that's right? [21:14:40] yes [21:14:51] and turing award has the property 585 [21:14:57] which is the date [21:15:04] so you says that on this value, P585 is used as a qualifier? [21:15:13] yes I would need that [21:15:33] so i need a sub query on Q185667? [21:16:02] what do you want to do with the value? [21:16:08] this is my query now http://tinyurl.com/pl269sa [21:16:19] nothing i just wwant 2 result columns: [21:16:24] name, date [21:16:50] name of the person which recieved the award, and date, when the person recieved the award [21:18:53] wikiQuery: got it for you [21:19:10] matej_suchanek: where did my query went wrong? [21:19:43] you will see... whenever you don't know how further, try to look at existing code/examples [21:19:55] this is what I did now as weel [21:19:57] *well [21:20:05] matej_suchanek: I did look at the *death example [21:20:16] http://tinyurl.com/oyszufh [21:20:30] I looked at "female mayors" [21:20:45] ah I see thats how i do the sub query, thanks! [21:21:15] where city is used twice? I see! [21:22:31] matej_suchanek: the inline comments in there distracted me a little, thanks all for your help! [21:22:37] wikidata is great :D [21:22:44] :D [21:29:49] hello [21:30:14] how do I activate flow on my user page ? [21:30:25] user talk even [21:30:47] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures [21:30:53] just enable and see [21:31:24] I did but it still same old talk page [21:35:38] HakanIST: two ideas: 1) you are editing now (fast), 2) flow talk page manager cannot handle page with no headline
