Wikidata weekly summary #583

[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • Open request for adminship: koavf 3 (RfP scheduled to end after 8 July 2023 13:16 UTC)
    • Closed request for adminship: Wolverène Welcome onboard \o/
    • New requests for permissions/Bot: UrbanBot (Task: UrbanBot's task is to mass-add English descriptions to items that don't have one)
    • Closed request for permissions/Bot: RomesfulImporterBot (Task: Creating and updating Russian Lexemes by transferring information from the Russian Wiktionary)
  • Tool of the week
    • m:User:Base/Scripts/HaveWikibaseLabelLowercased.js - is a Userscript that adds an arrow next to the main label (page title) which upon double click (a tap and a confirmation on touch devices) automatically makes the label's first letter lowercase for the current interface language. If there was already a matching alias it gets removed.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • The WikidataCon 2023 call for proposals is running until July 31st. If you have questions or need advice before sending a program proposal, join the program team during one of the office hour sessions (online or in Taiwan, in Chinese or in English). More information
    • Scholia has a new aspect dedicated to profiling WikiProjects, e.g. toolforge:scholia/wikiproject/Q56241615 for WikiProject Invasion biology. Using it revealed inconsistencies across WikiProjects in terms of which properties they use (and how) to associate a page with a WikiProject, as discussed here.
    • Introducing Wikibase World. The Wikibase registry has moved. Add an entry for your Wikibase if it's accessible over the open internet.
  • Development
    • Wikibase REST API:
      • We finished the GetProperty endpoint with fields filter and Conditional headers (phab:T338141, phab:T338138)
      • We started working on the endpoints for reading statement data of Properties (both a single statement, and a list of all of a Property’s statement) (phab:T339356), phab:T338383)
    • Ontology issue survey: We put together an overview of solutions for the various types of issues and will share them this week.
    • mul language code: We are continuing to work through the language fallback issues that were uncovered.

    • Images near items - helps to find Wikimedia Commons images near Wikidata items without image.
