Re: [Wikitech-l] Arbitrary Wikidata querying

AFAIK, you can query data from Wikidata, but you cannot put it into a page, unless its a graph. Graphs can do it - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Graph/Demo/Sparql As of last Thursday, you can also create a table on Commons Data namespace, and make a simple Lua script on your favorite

[Wikitech-l] Arbitrary Wikidata querying

Hi. If I wanted to make a page on the English Wikipedia using wikitext called "List of United States presidents" that dynamically embeds information from and and other similar items, is this currently possible? I consider

Re: [Wikitech-l] Discussion Platform

Depends on how you define easy. http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs/%23mediawiki/ is a recording of everything in #mediawiki by date, oldest at the top, newest at the bottom. I would consider that fairly easy. On Sat, Dec 10, 2016 at 5:39 PM, Cyken Zeraux wrote: > Public

Public logging isn't very accessible. When you join in a chat after being disconnected (like IRC does all the time), you'd like to look through the previous discussions easily. On Sat, Dec 10, 2016 at 4:30 PM, John wrote: > An issue was raised about only seeing IRC

Re: [Wikitech-l] Discussion Platform

An issue was raised about only seeing IRC messages while logged in, however the WMF does publicly log several of their channels, so that is a moot point ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Re: [Wikitech-l] Discussion Platform

A lot of places are using Discord now, too. It has an offline, mobile, and web client that are more media based, so there's multiple channels and support for direct files/images uploads. I think it would make it a lot easier to actually have a chat platform you can interact with other people in.

Hi, The problem is in IRC that it doesn't allow to see previous messages. I mean it only shows messages as long as you are logged in. On Tue, Dec 6, 2016 at 6:20 PM, MAYANK JINDAL wrote: > Hi, > We are using IRC for discussion purpose. How will it be if we change

​For reference, these are the changes being discussed: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/F5022813 1) Significantly larger changes than this are happening all the time (the OOUI-ification of old forms, for example), without anyone noticing, so it's pretty clear people are reacting to the
