[07:41:41] oh no [07:41:49] ok we really need to do something about this then [07:42:13] I'll see if I can file a bot request to cleanup the most widespread ones [10:29:37] pintoch: there are millions, it's gonna take a while :/ [10:36:14] I think the whole thing is being done back to front, if we think the property should be restricted, we should fix the data first [10:37:26] I would normally remove constraints which have too many violations, deliberately *adding* them is absurd [10:37:40] nikki: then just remove the constraint… [10:38:30] I don't think it was absurd to remove it given that it was already widely agreed that this property should be only used that way [10:38:34] I'm tempted to. I left a comment a couple of days ago on the talk page first [10:38:53] was it? we've been approving bots to add it ever since it was created, right up to last month [10:39:38] I think I "learned" it at some point from ArthurPSmith [10:40:05] but I did use it myself for non-wikimedia sources [10:43:59] done [10:44:02] I also wasn't aware that it was widely agreed not to use it for non-wikimedia sources, I only knew that stated in was preferred over imported from and found it annoyingly inconsistent that we allow both [10:44:15] (so I do agree with the overall goal, just not the way it's being done) [10:46:55] oh, you mean you removed the constraint, thanks! [10:47:12] wasn't sure whether you meant you created a bot request [10:48:18] btw, can openrefine add qualifiers to existing statements? [10:56:19] no, but you can use it to generate QuickStatements instructions that will do that: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools/OpenRefine/Editing/Uploading#Merging%20strategy%20for%20statements [10:57:47] huh, quickstatements can add qualifiers to existing statements? I knew it could add references but assumed it would make a new statement for qualifiers [11:05:55] yes it can [11:07:05] I clearly should have just tried it XD [12:37:48] Does anyone know how many source lines of code (SLOC) MediaWiki and Wikibase have? [12:42:15] abian: Lots [12:42:47] Wikibase gets more complex when you start including the many dependancies and libraries [12:43:40] xD [12:44:06] And the minimum necessary to work? Do we have an estimation? A range? [13:25:46] Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 90 minutes in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @@Pablo_WMDE & @CFisch_WMDE - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting [14:38:20] * nikki wonders what on earth happened with the dispatch lag [14:53:14] there is an issue with pings [14:53:18] on WD [14:53:28] I pinged 3 projects on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/copyright_status [14:53:44] and nobody received them [14:54:01] Hsarrazin did it again, same [15:00:32] I seem to recall something about a limit of 50, maybe that's why [15:01:10] ah, yes https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Novel_or_book [16:56:10] T [16:57:00] I just translated the Wikidata interface to Javanese, but when I clicked the Mainpage menu on the left ('Tepas' in Javanese), the page shows an empty page. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Tepas [16:57:22] Can somebody help please? [16:58:22] Hi, Wirjadisastra [16:58:26] Do you mean this? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page?uselang=jv [16:58:30] where should it point ? [17:00:25] Hi Abian, yes. The page should show https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page?uselang=jv, but if you see the menu on the left, the "Tepas" (mainpage) shows an empty page) [17:00:38] Wirjadisastra: I think you just shouldn't translate the string "Wikidata:Main Page" [17:02:49] does it work now? [17:03:52] Thank you. It works now. Could you show me where the problem is? I'd like to know [17:04:09] I had to create https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Mainpage/jv [17:04:59] wikidata's main page isn't in the main namespace, so the default doesn't work for any language :( [17:05:22] Ah! Thank you so much Nikki! [17:05:29] no problem :) [17:07:12] :D [20:01:19] o/ raz_WMDE [20:01:32] Just saw you moved out meeting right as I was about to join it ^_^ [20:04:10] Oh sorry [20:04:36] I messed up! I'm stuck on a train back home [20:04:50] Mismanaged my time [20:05:31] @halfak: ^^^ [20:06:44] I see. Looks like the new time doesn't work for me. [20:07:07] I just shared my calendar so you can try to find a better slot :) [20:07:39] Ok will do [20:07:43] Thanks and sorry again [20:08:40] no worries!
