Re: [Wikidata] Help with SPARQL or API or something to get subcategories

Thanks Andrew but I know and see the pitfalls. The use case is only 1 level deep and to be treated not as a Category but instead as simply something "Related" or "Relative" to the topic. Keeping within those 2 constraints from my tests seems to work reasonably well. Beyond those constraints... I a

Andy: Did it occur to you that maybe there were no objections because there was no visibility to the request? Quite frankly, I am amenable to these changes and support pushing granulated data like this and Authority Control to Wikidata. I am. I recognize the value of these efforts, and how great i

Re: [Wikidata] Terms - search for corresponding WD-item and WP-article

You could try this (example:"Cambridge"): https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/13025 Not sure if your terms will work though; "Aerial photograph" does not exist, for example. You can replace term_type='label' with term_type IN ('label','alias') to get more hits. On Mon, Oct 10, 2016 at 7:14 AM Markus
