Re: [Wikidata] Programming question

Hi, Here you can see many Wikidata-related web apps. Some of them have links to the source code. If you're "completely new to programming", your best bet may be to start client-side only (JavaScript & CSS) and add the server side late

Re: [Wikidata] Programming question

Hoi, Well actually more important than knowing a ton of things it is important to know what it is that you want to do. Because that may suggest the tools that you actually need. So starting with the notion that you want to do something with Wikidata means that you have to understand its API. It he

Hoi, If I recall well, Magnus did a tool for articles without images as well based on a map. Thanks, GerardM On 23 December 2015 at 18:00, Tom Morris wrote: > Thanks for the explanations. I'd forgotten that Wikipedia articles can > link to random images that are only peripherally related to

Re: [Wikidata] [Spam] Re: Seasons Greetings and a call to action

Hi Tom, The map is a visualisation/access point to an existing tool, rather than a tool per se. It doesn't say "near me, sorted by distance" because, well, someone had announced special:nearby two days earlier, and that problem was solved! In fact, I came up with this in response to special:nearb

Re: [Wikidata] Programming question

Mix'n'match and the Wikidata game use PHP as a scripting language, Histropedia uses ASP.NET. The other I don't know. The MediaWiki software powering Wikipedia and Wikidata is also written in PHP. But only PHP (or any other server side scripting language) isn't enough. You also need to have know

[Wikidata] Programming question

Hey all, I would like to ask about programming web apps using Wikidata. I'm completely new to programming, and I just started learning Python. My question is if I would like to make apps like Mix 'n' Match or the Wikidata Game, or stuff like Histropedia, Tree of Life, and Sum of All Paintings, wh

Re: [Wikidata] [Spam] Re: Seasons Greetings and a call to action

Thanks for the explanations. I'd forgotten that Wikipedia articles can link to random images that are only peripherally related to the subject of the article. The pointers to the tools are appreciated, since I think tooling is key to getting widespread participation in tasks like this, but I'd sug

Re: [Wikidata] [Spam] Re: Seasons Greetings and a call to action

Thanks for those links! They're great to have and I love that world map. If you feel inspired, maybe you could also make a report for P1679 since I first thought your report for P1367 was for that one. On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 9:35 AM, Andrew Gray wrote: > The FIST tool is great for this: > > htt

Re: [Wikidata] [Spam] Re: Seasons Greetings and a call to action

The FIST tool is great for this: https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/ Can be fed with a WDQ query or a Wikipedia category; generates a list of all items which don't have a P18 but do have plausible candidate images, and lets you one-click add images (so everything is human confirmed). A season

Re: [Wikidata] Seasons Greetings and a call to action

Yes I agree with what Stas says, which is why I posted my invitation. Also, we have many more items without images on Wikidata than Wikipedia articles with images, so we also need illustrations for things that don't have a page on Wikipedia yet such as everyday items (cookie types), minor paintings
