[WikiEN-l] deployment of the first phase of Wikidata on enwp
Hey :) Guillaume just reminded me that I have not yet posted this here but only on the village pump and Signpost. Sorry. I'll fix that now with this email. Later today (evening UTC) we'll deploy the first phase of Wikidata on the English language Wikipedia. We've already deployed the first phase on the Hungarian, Hebrew and Italian Wikipedias and things there went rather smoothly. We hope this is the case here too. What is going to happen exactly? * Language links in the sidebar will come from Wikidata if they exist there. * Existing language links in the wiki text will continue to work and overwrite links from Wikidata. * For individual articles language links from Wikidata can be supressed completely with the noexternallanglinks magic word. * Changes on Wikidata that relate to articles on this Wikipedia will show up in Recent Changes if the option is enabled by the user * At the bottom of the language links list you will see a link to edit the language links that leads you to the corresponding page on Wikidata. * You can see an example of how it works at http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie * The second phase of Wikidata (which is about Infoboxes was started on Wikidata but can't yet be used on any Wikipedia. This will follow later. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Heya :) We tried to deploy phase 1 on enwp today but ran into issues. We'll have to reschedule. Currently it looks like we'll do this on Wednesday. Sorry folks.

Hey, There were unfortunately too many other issues unrelated to Wikidata so we also had to call off this one. Sorry.

Heya :) Third time's a charm, right? We're live on the English Wikipedia with phase 1 now \o/ Details are in this blog post: http://blog.wikimedia.de/2013/02/13/wikidata-live-on-the-english-wikipedia An FAQ is being worked on at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Deployment_Questions Thanks everyone who helped! I'm happy to answer questions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical). Please also let me know about any issues there.

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.

At this point my best guess is that a very large part of pages already have a corresponding page on Wikidata. But that's just a guess. In total we have 3,985,290 on Wikidata at the moment, and growing. > What exactly should editors do at this point? Just sit back and > wikidata goodness will flow?

Or just leave things as they are. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Community Communications for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

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

I think he means something like http://toolserver.org/~magnus/ts2/reasonator/?q=Q1339 which gets its data from http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1339. Something similar can be done for what you want to do very likely. Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Community Communications for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.
