[WikiEN-l] Fwd: [Wikitech-l] Lua rollout to en.wikipedia.org and a few others
COMPREHENSIBLE TEMPLATES!!! -- Forwarded message -- From: Rob Lanphier Date: 15 February 2013 20:33 Subject: [Wikitech-l] Lua rollout to en.wikipedia.org and a few others To: Wikimedia developers , wikitech-ambassad...@lists.wikimedia.org Hi everyone, We're planning to deploy Lua to a long list of wikis on Monday, February 18, 23:00-01:00 UTC (stretching into Tuesday UTC), including English Wikipedia. Details here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Lua Jan Kučera (User:Kozuch) has placed notifications on many of the wikis. Those notifications and general communications listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Kozuch/Lua This is a really exciting deployment for the projects. We're really looking forward to seeing the great things that people do with this, and looking forward to making editing and previewing more responsive for template-heavy pages.

The item should be created, because in many cases other properties ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/WD:P) can still be added to the item. -- Legoktm On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 8:11 AM, Carcharoth wrote: > On 2/15/13, Katie Chan wrote: > > > From my experience, it would appear generally speaking article with > > more than 1 or 2 interwiki links will typically already exist on > > Wikidata, but not necessarily otherwise. > > If only 1 or 2 interwiki links exist on an article, and there is no > Wikidata entry, is it worth creating one or just waiting for one to be > created as more interwiki links are added, or other Wikidata > functionality is added? > > Carcharoth > > ___ > WikiEN-l mailing list > WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: > https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l > ___ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l

Eventually I expect one of the bots to get to it but if you want you can also just create it.

If only 1 or 2 interwiki links exist on an article, and there is no Wikidata entry, is it worth creating one or just waiting for one to be created as more interwiki links are added, or other Wikidata functionality is added?

In total we have 3,985,290 on Wikidata at the moment, and growing. From my experience, it would appear generally speaking article with more than 1 or 2 interwiki links will typically already exist on Wikidata, but not necessarily otherwise. If there's a Wikidata item that linked to the corresponding article you are on, "Edit links" will appear on the side bar under Languages.

Hi Steve, On Fri, Feb 15, 2013 at 4:33 AM, Steve Bennett wrote: > Hi Lydia, > Very cool. You might want to expand on this text: "Language links in > the sidebar will automatically come from Wikidata, once the article is > linked on Wikidata. No special syntax is needed for that." Yes, correct. A page on Wikidata (called item) needs to exist for the subject and contain a link to the article on the Wikipedia where the other language links are supposed to show up. So take for example http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2. If someone writes a new article about this subject that didn't have one so far then they need to add the link to the table at the bottom there. Then all the other links will show up in the sidebar of their article. I hope that makes it clearer. If not please let me know. > Speaking as someone who knows nothing about Wikidata, the phrase "once > the article is linked on Wikidata" doesn't mean anything.

Or take active steps to replace lists of > interwiki links with automatically generated ones? That is up to you. If you want you can remove them by hand. Or have someone run bots to do so. Or just leave things as they are. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Community Communications for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
