[12:46:03] Hi [12:46:33] Can I add living person who does not appear on wikipedia ? [12:49:09] Can you help me to start adding items to wikidata [16:23:59] is there a way to prevent duplicate entries into sub-languages? i've come across several unlabelled entries that had an English label, but were missing Canadian and British English entries, which makes the lookup fail. maybe this needs a fallback - if C/B English is unavailable, check for alternatives. or is there a way to accomplish this? [16:28:10] sorry, which lookup are you talking about? [16:28:22] (in “which makes the lookup fail”) [16:46:37] i'm adding a statement to an item. when i type in P1448, it shows "official name". when i type P186, it shows "P186". i just tested adding a value, and here the lookup works when the en-CA version is missing - but not when adding a statement [17:04:01] hm [17:04:04] that might be a bug [17:04:07] * Lucas_WMDE tries it out [17:05:26] I get “material used (P186)” when typing P186 [17:05:39] but if I just click in it without typing anything, the default suggestions have some property IDs [17:05:54] P1566, P3878, P1343 [17:07:04] what's your language set to? [17:07:11] I used ?uselang=en-ca [17:09:48] I also see the label for P186 with ?uselang=en-gb [17:15:08] orangensaft: I created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T243530 for the issue I’m seeing [17:15:13] though that’s not quite the same as you describe [17:15:20] might both be due to the same underlying problem, though [17:16:15] oh wow. so i tried going to british and back with the language selector, now it shows. and even after going back to the global setting it still shows. [17:16:35] maybe something about cache? not local though [17:17:11] * orangensaft has no clue how the backend looks and won't try to make further guesses [17:17:52] well, thx for dealing with this. appreciate it [17:19:13] no problem [17:19:17] thanks for reporting :)
