[18:59:48] I was sent here from #wikipedia-en-help: [18:59:53] Hi there--I haven't edited an interlanguage link since the old list-of-interwiki-links method. I just noticed that [[Lieutenant Colonel]] didn't have an :eo: link to [[:eo:Subkolonelo]], and that page on EO was linked to English [[:en:podpolkovnik]] which is not an English word. So I looked for instructions and did this: [18:59:55] 10[1] 04https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lieutenant_Colonel13 => [18:59:58] 10[2] 04https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/:eo:Subkolonelo13 => [19:00:01] 10[3] 04https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/:en:podpolkovnik [19:00:11] https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Interwiki_conflicts/Unresolved/2019&oldid=1056466263 [19:00:21] Is that correct? [19:02:32] The instructions are pretty brief and I couldn't readily find a prior conflict request for this reason [19:05:49] TreyHarris: hi! [19:05:54] And if I understand correctly, discussion happens within the {{interwiki conflict}} template, so I should watchlist the [[Wikidata:Interwiki conflicts/Unresolved/2019]] page? [19:05:55] 10[4] 10https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:interwiki_conflict13 => [19:05:58] 10[5] 10https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Interwiki_conflicts/Unresolved/2019 [19:06:10] reosarevok:hello there [19:07:04] I understand the Esperanto article is for the more generic concept then? [19:07:49] Yes. [19:08:08] You can fix this yourself if you want. For that, you'd need to first go to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13099720 and remove the sitelink to eo (go to the bottom where it says Wikipedia, click the pencil, then the trash can by eo) [19:08:38] That'll remove the incorrect association [19:09:01] Hmm, I thought I tried that and got a popup error thing redirecting me to that conflict page. [19:09:04] Let me try again. [19:09:09] Then you go to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q493898 and do the same, but instead of removing it you add it (so you type "eo" on the left, and "Subkolonelo" in the right) [19:09:18] You probably tried to add it without removing it [19:09:35] (unless there's some restriction for new users I don't remember it - in that case I can make the change myself, let me know :) ) [19:11:24] So I'm not sure now--the word "podpolkovnik" is an extremely specific word, but ordinarily it would be translated into English as "Lieutenant colonel", and both correctly translate into Esperanto as "subkolonelo" [19:12:35] Maybe I'll look at some color words to see how that works, since I know of cases like that for colors (i.e., translating "blue" into Russian is impossible without knowing what color of blue) [19:16:07] Ah, in Russian the data for [[Q1088]] Blue is Синий цвет, which is a particular term specifically to encompass the words for "blue" [19:16:07] 10[6] 10https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1088 [19:16:47] There's no such word AFAIK in Esperanto to specifically encompass the three phases of the Venn diagram here [19:17:37] (1, the subkolonelo referring to lt. colonels; 2, the subkolonelo referring to podpolkovniks, and 3, the subkolonelo meaning either one) [19:20:25] I got: Warning: The action you are about to take will remove a sitelink from this item. Sitelinks should only be removed if the page in question has been deleted, or if that link is being moved into another item. If you are trying to do neither of these, please do not submit this edit again. [19:20:35] reosarevok: when I tried to do the trash ^ [19:21:01] Is that exactly what I'm trying to do, or does that refer to something else? [19:29:26] Here's what that popup looks like: https://photos.app.goo.gl/oPhNWaSY8opT6iLd9 [20:00:48] Having looked at the Wikidata definition of "sitelink", I think that is in fact what I mean to do, so I'll try to publish it again. [20:08:58] That seemed to work perfectly. [20:09:05] reosarevok: thanks for your help! [20:10:11] Oh, sorry, missed the question! [20:10:25] But yeah, that's what you wanted :) Happy to help [20:15:01] I added a note to the conflicts Talk page to explain my reversion [20:21:42] Thanks again! & [21:38:19] Hello! The Foundation's Communications department has received an inquiry about this Wikidata entry and wanted to give you all a heads up that it has some vandalism in need of fixing: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4965386 [21:38:54] tl;dr: Brian Stelter is labeled as a Eunuch and it's appearing in our search results [21:39:58] Ooh, that's not great. [21:40:25] That's removed, let's see if there's other problems. [21:40:52] I'm going to go with "conspiracy theorist" needs to be removed too. [21:41:18] Seems potentially contentious - thank you! :) [22:04:45] PROBLEM - Check systemd state on wdqs1010 is CRITICAL: CRITICAL - degraded: The system is operational but one or more units failed. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Monitoring/check_systemd_state
