[02:02:36] Lucas_WMDE: please fix your connection, you are flooding the channels with join and quit [13:44:33] abian: it seems that I can't answer your message in private :/ [14:17:50] Ouch :/ [14:18:07] I think that's because you're not identified with an account, Auregann_WMDE [14:18:39] But no problem, I'm going to try changing my user modes [16:22:58] hij! [16:23:30] where can I inform myself about things happening around wikidata lately? [16:31:55] nikkio: the status updates are probably a good start :) the latest edition is here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/2018_02_05 [16:49:51] Lucas_WMDE: thx [16:49:52] ^^ [18:27:56] Is "time of discovery" really supposed to also cover invention? The label looks kinda silly on something like https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1543978 [18:29:57] There are no constraints for it. [18:30:02] And there is some alias. [18:30:17] See also https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P61 [18:45:06] hello. what method do you suggest for exporting a set of classes and properties so they can be easily imported in a separate wikibase? or better, is there any way from an external wikibase to exploit existing classes and propertis from wikidata? [18:50:23] sjoerddebruin: sure, maybe it should be "time of discovery or invention" then? Right now "time of discovery" for a man-invented thing is just... odd [18:50:39] Sounds good to me. [18:51:12] I suspect I need more than the sjoerddebruin seal of approval to rename a property though? [18:51:29] Or is that also a be bold kind of thing :p [18:51:48] Just do it, but move the old name as alias of course. [18:51:57] Ok! [18:52:52] Done. Is there any way I'm missing for me to leave a note on https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Property:P575&action=history like I would make a change note on enwiki? [18:53:07] (I'd like to mention "doing this because of this" sometimes but I haven't figured out how) [18:53:07] No. :( [18:53:36] Also, there is already some talk https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P575 [18:54:16] Oh. Yay, I enacted the will of the people. Or something [19:09:55] There is a prepery "P138" = "Named after", for example the Eiffel Tower is named after Gustave Eiffel ; but is there a property for the reverse "items named after" which will be a property of "Gustave Eiffel"? [19:11:04] That kind of information can be received with the query service. [19:11:47] https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20%3FGustave_Eiffel%20%3FGustave_EiffelLabel%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%0A%20%20%3FGustave_Eiffel%20wdt%3AP138%20wd%3AQ20882.%0A%7D [19:12:25] Inverse properties are not useful for this. [19:14:16] Yeah, it would be overkill, since this is also used for say streets, and there's probably an insanely long list of streets named after famous politicians or writers or the like :) [19:16:16] Like https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20%3Fnamedafter%20%3FnamedafterLabel%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%0A%20%20%3Fnamedafter%20wdt%3AP138%20wd%3AQ57304.%0A%7D ? :)
