  • Open request for adminship: EPIC (RfP scheduled to end after 26 December 2023 20:34 UTC)
  • New requests for permissions/Bot: Balyozbot. Tasks:

1. Import sitelinks, labels, descriptions from ku wikipedia pages which use the template w:ku:Template:Înterwîkî etîket û danasîn. (There are over 1800 articles that use this template waiting to be connected to Wikidata at the moment.)
2. Add sitelinks to kuwiktionary / kuwikipedia categories / create an item for the category if necessary. I have been doing this manually for quite some time using Quickstatements but since I need to get permission for the first task, I will be handling them using a bot as well.

• Events

    • African Librarians empowered to share knowledge and enhance information visibility through AfLIA Wikidata Online Course --> The "Promoting Open Knowledge Practices in African Libraries through Wikidata" project, executed by AfLIA with support from the Wikimedia Foundation, trained African librarians on using Wikidata to enhance the visibility of library collections and close the knowledge and gender gap on Africa. The course was facilitated by experienced African Wikimedian editors and included diverse strategies for learner engagement and support.
  • Papers: Increasing Coverage and Precision of Textual Information in Multilingual Knowledge Graphs by (Conia et al, 2023) --> This paper introduces a novel task of automatic Knowledge Graph Enhancement (KGE) to bridge the gap in the quantity and quality of textual information between English and non-English languages in Wikidata. It presents M-NTA, an unsupervised approach that combines Machine Translation, Web Search, and Large Language Models to generate high-quality textual information, and studies its impact on Entity Linking, Knowledge Graph Completion, and Question Answering tasks.
  • Videos
    • Wikidata, Wikisource and Wiktionary: Wikisource for DH (WiSe 2023) --> The lecture "Fundamentals and application-oriented methods of the Digital Humanities" by Kay-Michael Würzner is designed as a series of lectures in which teachers in the "Digital Humanities" course present their fields of work and key topics and present them for discussion.
    • Empowering Open-Source Generative AI by Integrating the Wikidata knowledge graph --> Generative AI has changed the information ecosystem, and open-source knowledge graphs like Wikidata can become invaluable assets, propelling a myriad of applications forward. Jonathan Fraine & Lydia Pintscher present the practical integration of Wikidata's open-source, open-access knowledge graph to empower Generative AI applications. Harnessing the real-time updated, structured data encapsulated within Wikidata, they explore automated content creation, data augmentation, and semantic analysis, underpinning the generative paradigms. Through a blend of theoretical insights and real-world applications, they elucidate how to leverage Wikidata to elevate generative AI applications, breaking down existing data silos, and fostering a collaborative ecosystem within our global community of developers and contributors.
    • Wiki Indaba 2023 - African content on Wikidata --> Discussion with Alice Kibombo, Georges Fodouop and Jesse Asiedu-Akrofi, about Wikidata for African Librarians during the Wiki Indaba conference, that took place between 3-5 November 2023 in Agadir, Morocco.

• Tool of the week
  • Cersei - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent).
  • Wikidata:Zotero/Cita - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using cites work (P2860) information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data.

Tech News: 2024-06

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• The mobile site history pages now use the same HTML as the desktop history pages. If you hear of any problems relating to mobile history usage please point them to the phabricator task.
• On most wikis, admins can now block users from making specific actions. These actions are: uploading files, creating new pages, moving (renaming) pages, and sending thanks. The goal of this feature is to allow admins to apply blocks that are adequate to the blocked users' activity. Learn more about "action blocks". [1][2]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 6 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 7 February. It will be on all wikis from 8 February (calendar). [3][4]
• Talk pages permalinks that included diacritics and non-Latin script were malfunctioning. This issue is fixed. [5]

Future changes

• 24 Wikipedias with Reference Tooltips as a default gadget are encouraged to remove that default flag. This would make Reference Previews the new default for reference popups, leading to a more consistent experience across wikis. For 46 Wikipedias with less than 4 interface admins, the change is already scheduled for mid-February, unless there are concerns. The older Reference Tooltips gadget will still remain usable and will override this feature, if it is available on your wiki and you have enabled it in your settings. [6][7]

Noticias técnicas: 2024-07

Las últimas noticas técnicas desde la comunidad técnica de Wikimedia. Por favor, comenta estos cambios con otros usuarios. No todos los cambios te afectarán. Traducciones en varios idiomas están disponibles.

Cambios recientes

• El experimento de separación de grafos de WDQS esta funcionando y ha sido cargado en 3 servidores de pruebas. El equipo a cargo está probando el impacto de la separación y necesita retroalimentación de los usuarios de WDQS (Wikidata Query Service) acerca de la interfaz de usuario o en otros medios. [8][9][10] La retroalimentación de usuarios podrá validar el impacto de varios casos de uso y flujos de trabajo en torno al servicio de consultas de Wikidata (WDQS). [11][12]

Problemas

• Existió un fallo que afectaba la apariencia de los enlaces visitados cuando se usaba la versión móvil para acceder a las wikis. Este error producía que los enlaces aparecieran en negro; este fallo ha sido solucionado.

Cambios durante esta semana

• La nueva versión de MediaWiki se instalará en las wikis de prueba y en MediaWiki.org el 13 de febrero. Se instalará en todas las wikis que no son wikipedias y en algunas wikipedias el 14 de febrero y en todas las wikis a partir del 15 de febrero (calendario). [13][14]
• Mientras continúa el trabajo de la deprecación del grid engine, las herramientas [15] serán detenidas el 14 de febrero de 2024. Si tiene herramientas que se están migrando activamente, puede solicitar una extensión para que no se detengan. [16]

Pregunta

Buenas! ¿Alguna herramienta que me avise sobre una combinación concreta de palabras en el momento de publicarse (en un artículo nuevo o una edición en general)?  νιяυм мυη∂ι @ ℓσg  06:23 13 feb 2024 (UTC)

Especial:FiltroAntiAbusos permite marcar las ediciones identificando combinaciones de textos. -- Leoncastro (discusión) 12:28 13 feb 2024 (UTC)

Hola @Leoncastro: a lo que me refiero en este respecto es enterarme de la publicación de una combinación de palabras para luego enlazarla al artículo concreto (por ejemplo, "general de cuatro estrellas"). ¿Sirve el filtro para eso? Gracias.  νιяυм мυη∂ι @ ℓσg  15:25 13 feb 2024 (UTC)

Aunque se pudiera usar, el filtro no estaría pensado para eso y la verdad sería un muy mal uso de la herramienta. No creo que exista lo que estás buscando. Se podría hacer creando un bot exclusivo para eso, pero no creo que nadie esté dispuesto a programarlo. Lo más sencillo es buscar de vez en cuando el texto a enlazar en los artículos existentes. -- Leoncastro (discusión) 15:44 13 feb 2024 (UTC)

Problemas con Línea de tiempo

Buenos días. Quería pedir ayuda con lo siguiente: hace un tiempo hice una Línea de tiempo en la página Damage Control (lucha libre) y hasta hace unos días se veía bien. Sin embargo, ahora se ve un "cuadro de imagen rota". No he podido encontrar cuál es el problema/error. Pido si alguien lo puede revisar, por favor. Muchas gracias.
