*Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.*
Discussions - New administrator: Pyb <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Pyb> is now admin on Wikidata! Events <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Events>/ Press/Blogs <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Press_coverage> - Wikidata: the new hub for cultural heritage <https://www.oxfordaspiremuseums.org/blog/wikidata> - Past: WikiIndaba, Ghana <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiIndaba_conference_2017/> - Upcoming: FOSDEM, Brussels, February 4-5th <https://fosdem.org/2017/> Other Noteworthy Stuff - Coordinates on Russian Wikipedia now link to maps generated with the Kartographer extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:Kartographer>. The map includes the location outline, if that object exists in OpenStreetMap (OSM) with a corresponding Wikidata ID (ways and relations only, not nodes). Example: w:ru:Зальцбург <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ru:%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D1%86%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3> (click coordinates in the upper right corner, or in the infobox on the side). If you create a Wikidata item about a specific administrative area, building, or other physical individual object which appears on maps, then please add the Wikidata ID to the relevant object in OSM, using key:wikidata= <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikidata> (here's how to contribute to OSM <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/How_to_contribute>). - QuickStatements V2 <https://tools.wmflabs.org/quickstatements/> can now run your commands in the background, no need to keep the browser tab open anymore - List of churches generated from Wikidata on Cymraeg Wikipedia <https://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadog#Eglwysi> Did you know? - Newest properties <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:ListProperties>: ZNIEFF Code <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3498>, teams classification by time <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3497>, cycling teams classification by points <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3496>, FilmPolski.pl ID <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3495>, points classification <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3494>, legal status (medicine) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3493>, basic reproduction number <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3492>, muscle insertion <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3491>, muscle origin <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3490> - Query examples: - Tide mills in France <https://query.wikidata.org/#%23defaultView%3AMap%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3FplaceLabel%20%3FdepartmentLabel%20%3Fcoords%20%3Fimage%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%2Fwdt%3AP279*%20wd%3AQ493694%20%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20wdt%3AP17%20wd%3AQ142%20%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20wdt%3AP131%20%3Fplace%20.%0A%20%20%3Fplace%20wdt%3AP131*%20%3Fdepartment%20.%0A%20%20%3Fdepartment%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ6465%20.%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP625%20%3Fcoords%20.%0A%20%20OPTIONAL%20%7B%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP18%20%3Fimage%20.%20%7D%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22fr%22%20.%20%7D%0A%7D%20ORDER%20BY%20%3FdepartmentLabel%20%3FplaceLabel%20%3FitemLabel> (source <https://twitter.com/PoulpyWP/status/822189709728370688>) - Wind mills in Paris <https://query.wikidata.org/#%23defaultView%3AImageGrid%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3Fcoords%20%3Fimage%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ38720%20%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20wdt%3AP131%20%3Farrdt%20%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20wdt%3AP625%20%3Fcoords%20%3B%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20wdt%3AP18%20%3Fimage%20.%0A%20%20%3Farrdt%20wdt%3AP131%20wd%3AQ90%20.%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22fr%22%20.%20%7D%0A%7D%20ORDER%20BY%20%3FitemLabel> (source <https://twitter.com/PoulpyWP/status/822182751759646720>) - Mathematical formulae containing HTML escapes <https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3Fformula%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP2534%20%3Fformula.%0A%20%20FILTER%28CONTAINS%28%3Fformula%2C%20%22%26amp%3B%22%29%20%7C%7C%20CONTAINS%28%3Fformula%2C%20%22%26quot%3B%22%29%29.%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22en%22.%20%7D%0A%7D> (source <https://twitter.com/WikidataFacts/status/822491902863872003>) - Fire stations in Paris <https://query.wikidata.org/#%23Fire%20stations%20in%20Paris%0A%23defaultView%3AMap%0A%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3Fadresse%20%3Fcoords%20%3Fimage%0AWHERE%0A%7B%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ1195942%20.%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP131%20%3Fplace%20.%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP969%20%3Fadresse%20.%0A%20%20%3Fplace%20wdt%3AP131%20wd%3AQ90%20.%0A%20%20OPTIONAL%20%7B%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP625%20%3Fcoords%20.%20%7D%0A%20%20OPTIONAL%20%7B%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP18%20%3Fimage%20.%20%7D%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22fr%22%20.%20%7D%0A%7D%20ORDER%20BY%20%3FplaceLabel%20%3FitemLabel> (source <https://twitter.com/Ayack_fr/status/822789876735242241>) Development - Created a new Special:EntityPage, needed for federation ( phabricator:T153499 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153499>) - Sitelink "name" and "badges" in diffs are now translated ( phabricator:T111016 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111016>) - Worked on finalizing mockups for editing Wikidata from Wikipedia and co.
