Thanks Thomas, that looks really handy. I definitely think we need more template based solutions like this. Best, Navino On 16 Mar 2015 20:34, "Thomas Douillard" wrote: > Looks cool, see also wrote the beginning of a query generator in mediawiki > templates : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Templ

That's good to know. Looking forward to playing around with it when there's a test server up and running. Best, Navino On 10 March 2015 at 13:28, Markus Kroetzsch wrote: > On 10.03.2015 14:15, Navino Evans wrote: > >> Cheers Fabian, Magnus! >> >> Just had a quick look at the import-json functi

Nice! One could even display the results in the spreadsheet, using this: http://blog.fastfedora.com/projects/import-json (haven't tried, though) Note that there is a "proper" Wikidata graph database being developed by WMF. Once that reaches production, WDQ will likely become a wrapper around that

Hi all, We've been using WDQ queries a lot recently to update timelines in the Histropedia directory and, while trying to speed up the process, I ended up creating a very crude query generator tool over the weekend. After getting a bit carried away with it, it seemed worth sharing as it could actu
