[03:11:16] <[1997kB]> nikki: whether we link it or not, it always shows connected to https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Invasive_Species_Database on frwiki [03:19:14] <[1997kB]> while on wikidata there's a different article attached to frwiki. [03:49:11] bleh, my query times out [03:50:55] i guess i'm limited to 50k results [09:21:31] [1997kB]: ohh, I see what you mean. I assume something is including an old-style interwiki link [09:22:04] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Taxonbar/conf has "[[fr:Global Invasive Species Database|GISD]]" so it's probably that [09:22:04] 10[1] 10https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Invasive_Species_Database [09:24:36] <[1997kB]> so how this can be fixed? [09:34:39] the page is protected, so commenting on the talk page asking for a colon to be added before the "fr:" would be best [09:35:08] I'd do it myself but I can't edit it :) [09:35:46] (fix it myself, I mean) [09:46:03] nikki: admin here. How can I help? [09:46:32] ups [09:46:44] you are admin as well :P [09:46:49] :D [09:46:55] yeah, I need someone with permission on enwiki [09:47:09] ah [09:47:33] I think at #wikipedia-en you will find help very quickly [09:47:49] hello [10:44:10] does anyone know of a good way to hide the "types statistics" tables on constraint report pages? all the css I've tried hides other things too [11:04:08] Do we have an open ticket for query service problems? The same query for recent paintings I imported returns either 4002 or 4011 items........ [11:04:40] Making my bots produce duplicates like https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q59551206 :-( [11:05:16] if you find one, I'd like to know too [11:13:56] nikki: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211469 tagged you on it [11:14:08] thanks [11:14:57] I can handle outdated data (I just wait a bit longer to catch up), but inconsistent is a PITA [11:31:26] multichill: Stas has been working on inconsistencies last week… not sure about the state of that, though [11:51:02] nikki: Might be dupe of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T210044 [11:51:14] hoo: Not fixed I'm afraid [11:54:14] is there a way to do a null edit on wikidata items, and if there is, would that cause the query service servers to update? [12:00:05] nikki: a simple purge? [12:00:44] PurgeTab: Adds a "Purge" tab. Clicking on it will purge the page. [12:00:52] I don't mean a purge [12:00:57] nikki: You can null edit (there are a few ways) … but that wont affect WDQS [12:01:30] aww, it would be nice to be able to force it to update certain items [12:03:16] indeed… but then again this shouldn't be needed at all [12:03:45] ideally yes, but it seems to be difficult to solve [12:04:48] Yeah… this is all very fragile [12:41:24] nikki: Yeah, would be nice to just tell the query service to read a certain item again [12:42:36] Maybe some queue for re-processing? [14:59:41] is there a script to mass request deletions? [15:06:25] Praxidicae: No, there isn't, but you probably don't need it [15:06:42] abian: idk about that i feel like i just spammed dr lol [15:07:08] What do you think should be deleted? :) [15:07:19] abian: a ton of spam [15:07:31] That's much spam :D [15:07:36] in the form of items [15:07:41] Which items? [15:07:46] they're at dr, abian [15:07:52] deletion reqs [15:08:05] it's too many for me to do the mass nom at otnce because i'd have to have like 60 tabs open [15:12:36] Praxidicae: They're okay, thanks for them :) [15:12:46] How did you get to those items? [15:12:56] abian: xwiki spam checks and filters [15:14:28] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Basharhikmetmalkawi is also nice [15:14:59] good lord [15:15:30] Yeah, what a mess... [15:17:19] is "Im lazy and don't want to keep spamming DR for spam deletions" a good reason to rfa at wikidata? :P [15:18:24] Probably not, you would still have to delete them and that's not compatible with the laziness ;) [15:19:17] i mean deletion is easy :P [15:19:21] constantly filing them is annoying [15:19:27] wish there was a speedy option for items [15:20:28] I wish we could automatically avoid rubbish/garbage so that we shouldn't have to delete it :S [15:21:49] indeed [15:22:00] wikidata is a great honeypot to find the xwiki ltas though [15:26:56] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:MisterSynergy/sysop/empty_items is a fun place if you feel like fixing some stuff [15:27:05] Incorrectly emtpied out items and a lot of junk [17:02:40] I wonder if it would make sense to automatically delete unused empty items after x days which were only edited by a single person [17:03:12] I just deleted a bunch of things and almost all of them were like that [17:05:17] nikki: I like the idea :) [17:11:02] abian: Where did that Van Basten guy ask for deletion? [17:19:39] multichill: He wrote me via Telegram [17:21:00] Most of the items stated they were papers or books but they actually were just PDF guides, blog entries, etc. [17:22:30] I mass deleted the entire list he pasted to me, I couldn't check out them all [17:25:49] I sampled them before and all the items I saw were erasable or had already been deleted [17:49:36] Can you please explain him that he shouldn't empty out items abian? Maybe he takes it from someone else [18:02:44] multichill: Sure [20:36:53] can someone protect my tp on wd please [22:12:25] <_813_> Hi. Is transferbot able to edit wikidata? I want to copy items to test instance and im getting traceback with "Direct editing is disabled in namespace" error.
