[03:46:13] <arthurpbs>	 hi I'm new to wikidata and sparql , what is the resources that I could read to get a kickstart hands on ?! I was a dizzy with much academic information about lexemes rdf and many terms related to web semantics. What I would like is something more pratical at beginning that I could start understand sparql to query for example marine animals information, retrieve images, things like that
[12:48:42] <Lozenge>	 arthurpbs: you can try https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/SPARQL for sparql
[16:32:23] <perryprog>	 Is there an easy way to find all instances of a class without writing a SPARQL query?
[16:34:09] <WiseWoman1>	 Well, you can use the "what links here" button....
[16:35:31] <WiseWoman1>	 For example, if you are at village in India (Q56436498)  and click it, you get a nice list of instances
[16:36:15] <perryprog>	 That seems to include everything in the case of properties—in my case I'm trying to find all instances of sexual orientation (Q17888)
[16:36:22] <perryprog>	 I suppose I can just do a query as that's easy enough
[16:39:29] <perryprog>	 P91 I mean*
[16:40:02] <nikki>	 there are some tools that I think might be able to do it, but I just write queries so I'm not familiar with them :)
[16:40:12] <perryprog>	 Yeah that's kinda what I figured.
[16:41:24] <nikki>	 (and if you need help writing queries, feel free to ask)
[18:15:01] <wmchat-bridge>	 [mattermost] <Lucas> well, you can write simpler queries in the search field, e. g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=haswbstatement%3AP31%3DQ17888
[18:15:07] <wmchat-bridge>	 [mattermost] <Lucas> but I’m not sure if that’s better for you or not ^^
[18:15:19] <wmchat-bridge>	 [mattermost] <Lucas> perryprog: ^
[18:15:24] <nikki>	 oh, good point
[18:15:34] <nikki>	 I do that a lot too, but forgot about it
[18:16:37] <Plazey>	 Is wikidata just impossible to install?
[18:16:42] <Plazey>	 Documentation on the installation sucks.
[18:16:46] <wmchat-bridge>	 [mattermost] <Lucas> aaaand scrolling through the results I immediately found vandalism
[18:16:57] <nikki>	 :(
[18:17:40] <Plazey>	 Does composer need to be downgraded to version 1.0.0?
[18:18:11] <Plazey>	 Cause 1, that's kinda weird, 2 it downgrades to 1.10.19
[18:19:15] <wmchat-bridge>	 [mattermost] <Lucas> MediaWiki doesn’t support composer 2 yet, yes https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T266419
[18:21:45] <Plazey>	 Why is wikibase so hard to install?
[18:21:50] <Plazey>	 Why does it require composer?
[18:27:26] <Plazey>	 This is the most difficult thing to install I've ever encountered. :(
