Re: [Wikidata-l] phase 2 live on the first 11 Wikipedias

Well, there is a trade-off. If we have too few types then it is harder for clients to use the data and inconsistencies might slip in. But if we delay the approval of too many properties because we want more types then we risk unnecessarily slowing the growth of the database. It's all binary info

Re: [Wikidata-l] phase 2 live on the first 11 Wikipedias

AFAIK the hold-up is because the "numbers" data type should also be able to carry an uncertainty, and a unit. Not really necessary for "number of floors", but for plenty of other applications. On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 11:21 AM, Michael Hale wrote: > Well, there is a trade-off. If we have too few

Re: [Wikidata-l] phase 2 live on the first 11 Wikipedias

Sure, I'm just wondering if it might be better to just go ahead and approve something like "number of floors" as a string, and then once numbers are supported we could try to automatically convert all of those strings to numbers and either delete or manually fix the errors that we find. From: m

Hi all, I streamlined your ideas about the Wikidata GSoC projects with our description: http://wiki.dbpedia.org/gsoc2013/ideas/WikidataMappings Not sure, whether there can be joint or duplicate applications (e.g. one student applying at both organizations with the same proposal ) ... I guess

Someone suggested to use for those cases what we call on french wikipedia "short article"* (articles courts), *articles with a short description and a (soft) redirect to the section in the main article. This may be an interesting solution.* * 2013/4/22 Denny Vrandečić > > 2013/4/7 Jianyong Zhan

Heya folks :) Phase 2 is not live on English Wikipedia. For more details please see http://blog.wikimedia.de/?p=14896 The remaining Wikipedias are still scheduled for Wednesday. At the same time we have enabled a new feature that lets you add another language link to an article without having to

Hey, congrats!... For "other wikipedias", is confirmed the Wednesday as day to launch it? (of course, if Mercury doesn't align with Jupiter and an astronomical event avoids the implementation = nothing strange interferes with the release) On Mon, Apr 22, 2013 at 4:37 PM, Lydia Pintscher < lydia.

Re: [Wikidata-l] Our log table is exploding

A big feature for botuseres would be the possibility to change everythingon an item at once (like descriptions, labels and interwikilinks yet but with claims, references and qualifiers too). This would decrease the bot edits by a factor of 2 (as most of the bots add a claim and then a reference).

Re: [Wikidata-l] phase 2 live on the first 11 Wikipedias

I'm not sure. By infobox chaos do you mean vandalism? I don't think you can eliminate vandalism through stronger types. I've seen people randomly change the population of Asia to a random number with the same number of digits. The most extreme constraint would be to disallow any information that
