Wikidata is getting close to a first roll-out

(Apologies if this message isn't in your language.)

As some of you might already have heard Wikimedia Deutschland is working on a new Wikimedia project. It is called m:Wikidata. The goal of Wikidata is to become a central data repository for the Wikipedias, its sister projects and the world. In the future it will hold data like the number of inhabitants of a country, the date of birth of a famous person or the length of a river. These can then be used in all Wikimedia projects and outside of them.

The project is divided into three phases and "we are getting close to roll-out the first phase". The phases are:

1. language links in the Wikipedias (making it possible to store the links between the language editions of an article just once in Wikidata instead of in each linked article)
2. infoboxes (making it possible to store the data that is currently in infoboxes in one central place and share the data)
3. lists (making it possible to create lists and similar things based on queries to Wikidata so they update automatically when new data is added or modified)

It'd be great if you could join us, test the demo version, provide feedback and take part in the development of Wikidata. You can find all the relevant information including an FAQ and sign-up links for our on-wiki newsletter on the Wikidata page on Meta.

For further discussions please use this talk page (if you are uncomfortable writing in English you can also write in your native language there) or point me to the place where your discussion is happening so I can answer there.

Sigli dî pruvinci

Salutamu. In basi a quali criteriu li noma di cumuna taliani hannu la sigla dâ pruvincia in parentesi? --Markos90 (msg) 02:39, 1 utt 2012 (CEST)

Criteriu nun ci n'è. Fu na nizziativa di n'àutru amministraturi, ca pinsava ca cu la sigla dâ pruvincia si facilita lu litturi. Iu pirsunarmenti nun sugnu d'accordu e lu dissi chiaru e tunnu, ma la suluzzioni truvata fu nu cumprumissu: li cità cchiù granni dâ Sicilia, comu puru li cità dâ pinisula italiana ca nun hannu na traduzzioni siciliana cumpricata, nun hannu la signa dâ pruvincia. --Peppi 13:55, 1 utt 2012 (CEST)

Iu li canciassi macari ora. Lu probblema è ca si tratta di cintinara di cumuni (tutti chiddi dâ Sicilia e dâ Calabbria) e ca la suluzzioni fu na suluzzioni di cumprumissu. E' propriu indispinsabbili e urgenti di fari sti canci pi fàricci trasiri lu template dâ lucalizzazzioni o si pò fari dopu? Iu pensu ca pi li canci di tali mpurtanza s'avissi a fari na vutazzioni cu tutti l'utilizzatura attivi. Lu sondaggiu si putissi fari ccà. Ci pensi tu a priparallu? --Peppi 15:18, 15 utt 2012 (CEST)

Ciau a tutti, sugnu d'accordu pi livari li sigli nùtili, ma avemu a dicìdiri chi pulìtica aduttari pi li noma di cumuni ntê tìtuli: 1. Putemu scègghiri di scrìviri li noma lucali dî cumuna (sulu pi la Sicilia, la Calabbria, lu Salentu, e lu Cilentu) ma ci'avemu un saccu d'ambiguità (Santa Maria, San Marcu, San Vitu, ecc.) ca putemu arrisòrviri scrivennu la sigla (o lu nomu dâ pruvincia) ntra parèntisi ntô tìtulu di l'artìculu. 2. Putemu scègghiri di scrìviri li noma siciliani dî cumuna sarvannu li nnicazzioni giogràfichi lucali dî dinuminazzioni taliani (p'asempiu: "di Sicilia", "sicula", "siculo", "etneo", "calabro", "d'Aspromonte", "dello Ionio", "della Sila", "Ionica", "di Lecce", "salentino", ecc.). Chi scigghemu? Salutamu! --Sarvaturi (msg) 20:40, 15 utt 2012 (CEST)

Veru è ca ci sunnu casi n cui lu nomu pò aviri na certa ambiguità, comu fici nutari Sarvaturi. E comu iddu fici nutari, havemu a fari na discussioni dittagliata pi sapiri comu avemu a fari ntê casi ambigui. Certu avemu a priviliggiari la manera di diri n sicilianu, e ntâ parrata lucali, ma ntê casi n cui lu nomu n Sicilianu è accurzatu rispettu all'italianu, pi esempiu Santu Vitu (ci nn'è n pruvincia di Trapani, di Catanzaru e di Brindisi), si putissi lassari tra parentisi la sigla dâ pruvincia. comu nti la opzioni 1. suggiruta di Sarvaturi ccà supra.

Grazzi pi li vostri risposti. Pi mìa si pò scrìviri la sigla amministrativa dâ pruvincia (ntra parèntisi) o lu nomu dâ riggiuni (ntra parèntisi): tutti dui maneri cunvèninu pi livari l'ambiguità, nun ci'haiu nudda prifirenza, e vuiàutri, chi nni pinzati? Salutamu! --Sarvaturi (msg) 04:48, 16 utt 2012 (CEST)

Nun si pò fari comu ntâ wiki italiana, pirchì ntâ nostra wiki lu titulu principali è lu nomu dû cumuni ntâ parrata lucali e pirciò senza l'eventuali appillativu. Pirciò San Vito Lo Capo (it.) addiventa simpricimenti San Vitu ntâ nostra wiki. Ora siccomu ci sunnu diversi San Vitu nti àutri riggiuni italiani, nun putemu chiamari la vuci "San Vitu (Italia)", ma comu suggirisci Sarvaturi, putemu forsi usari "San Vitu (Sicilia)", e ntô casu rarissimu (o forsi insesistenti) n cui cì fussi na omonimìa dintra na stissa riggiuni, allura putemu usari la sigla dâ pruvincia. Mi parissi na soluzzioni giusta. Chi ni pinsati ? --Peppi 22:35, 16 utt 2012 (CEST)

Ciau Peppi, sugnu d'accordu, putemu usari lu nomu dâ riggiuni (Sicilia), (Calabbria), (Pugghia), ecc. quannu c'è n'ambiguità ntra noma di cumuna di dui riggiuni diversi, e putemu usari la sigla dâ pruvincia (RG), (PA), (CZ), (LE), ecc. quannu c'è ambiguità ntra noma di cumuna dâ stissa riggiuni. Salutamu! --Sarvaturi (msg) 22:43, 16 utt 2012 (CEST)

Fundraising localization: volunteers from outside the USA needed

Please translate for your local community

Hello All,

The Wikimedia Foundation's Fundraising team have begun our 'User Experience' project, with the goal of understanding the donation experience in different countries outside the USA and enhancing the localization of our donation pages. I am searching for volunteers to spend 30 minutes on a Skype chat with me, reviewing their own country's donation pages. It will be done on a 'usability' format (I will ask you to read the text and go through the donation flow) and will be asking your feedback in the meanwhile.

The only pre-requisite is for the volunteer to actually live in the country and to have access to at least one donation method that we offer for that country (mainly credit/debit card, but also real-time banking like IDEAL, E-wallets, etc...) so we can do a live test and see if the donation goes through. All volunteers will be reimbursed of the donations that eventually succeed (and they will be low amounts, like 1-2 dollars)

By helping us you are actually helping thousands of people to support our mission of free knowledge across the world. Please sing up and help us with our 'User Experience' project! :) If you are interested (or know of anyone who could be) please email ppena@wikimedia.org. All countries needed (excepting USA)!

Thanks!

Picture of the Year voting round 1 open

Dear Wikimedians,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2012 Picture of the Year competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2012. Voting is open to established Wikimedia users who meet the following criteria:

1. Users must have an account, at any Wikimedia project, which was registered before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC].
2. This user account must have more than 75 edits on any single Wikimedia project before Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:00:00 +0000 [UTC]. Please check your account eligibility at the POTY 2012 Contest Eligibility tool.
3. Users must vote with an account meeting the above requirements either on Commons or another SUL-related Wikimedia project (for other Wikimedia projects, the account must be attached to the user's Commons account through SUL).

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems, diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become the Picture of the Year.

To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2012 page on Wikimedia Commons.

Wikimedia Commons celebrates our featured images of 2012 with this contest. Your votes decide the Picture of the Year, so remember to vote in the first round by January 30, 2013.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) coming to this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally.

Wikidata has been in development for a few months now. It is now time for the roll-out of the first part of it on your Wikipedia. Phase 1 is the support for the management of language links. It is already being used on the Hungarian, Hebrew, Italian and English Wikipedias. The next step is to enable the extension on all other Wikipedias. We have currently planned this for March 6.

What is Wikidata?

Wikidata is a central place to store data that you can usually find in infoboxes. Think of it as something like Wikimedia Commons but for data (like the number of inhabitants of a country or the length of a river) instead of multimedia. The first part of this project (centralizing language links) is being rolled out now. The more fancy things will follow later.

What is going to happen?

Language links in the sidebar are going to come from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.

Where can I find more information and ask questions?

Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

I want to be kept up to date about Wikidata

To stay up-to-date on everything happening around Wikidata please subscribe to the newsletter that is delivered weekly to subscribed user’s talk pages. You can see previous editions here.

Wikidata phase 1 (language links) live on this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this locally. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

As I annonced 2 weeks ago, Wikidata phase 1 (language links) has been deployed here today. Language links in the sidebar are coming from Wikidata in addition to the ones in the wiki text. To edit them, scroll to the bottom of the language links, and click edit. You no longer need to maintain these links by hand in the wiki text of the article.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? Editors on en:wp have created a great page with all the necessary information for editors and there is also an FAQ for this deployment. It'd be great if you could bring this to this wiki if that has not already happened. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

Convert complex templates to Lua to make them faster and more powerful

(Please consider translating this message for the benefit of your fellow Wikimedians)

Greetings. As you might have seen on the Wikimedia tech blog or the tech ambassadors list, a new functionality called "Lua" is being enabled on all Wikimedia sites today. Lua is a scripting language that enables you to write faster and more powerful MediaWiki templates.

If you have questions about how to convert existing templates to Lua (or how to create new ones), we'll be holding two support sessions on IRC next week: one on Wednesday (for Oceania, Asia & America) and one on Friday (for Europe, Africa & America); see m:IRC office hours for the details. If you can't make it, you can also get help at mw:Talk:Lua scripting.

If you'd like to learn about this kind of events earlier in advance, consider becoming a Tech ambassador by subscribing to the mailing list. You will also be able to help your fellow Wikimedians have a voice in technical discussions and be notified of important decisions.

Wikidata phase 2 (infoboxes) coming to this Wikipedia

Sorry for writing in English. I hope someone can translate this. If you understand German better than English you can have a look at the announcement on de:Wikipedia:Kurier.

A while ago the first phase of Wikidata was enabled on this Wikipedia. This means you are getting the language links in each article from Wikidata. It is soon time to enable the second phase of Wikidata (infoboxes) here. We have already done this on the [first 11 Wikipedias] (it, he, hu, ru, tr, uk, uz, hr, bs, sr, sh) and things are looking good. The next step is English Wikipedia. This is planned for April 8. If everything works out fine we will deploy on all remaining Wikipedias on April 10. I will update this part of the FAQ if there are any issues forcing us to change this date. I will also sent another note to this village pump once the deployment is finished.

What will happen once we have phase 2 enabled here? Once it is enabled in a few days you will be able to make use of the structured data that is available on Wikidata in your articles/infoboxes. It includes things like the symbol for a chemical element, the ISBN for a book or the top level domain of a country. (None of this will happen automatically. Someone will have to change the article or infobox template for this to happen!)

How will this work? There are two ways to access the data:

• Use a parser function like {{#property:p169}} in the wiki text of the article on Yahoo!. This will return “Marissa Mayer” as she is the chief executive officer of the company.
• For more complicated things you can use Lua. The documentation for this is here.

We are working on expanding the parser function so you can for example use {{#property:chief executive officer}} instead of {{#property:p169}}. The complete plan for this is here.

Where can I test this? You can already test it on test2.

Where can I find more information and ask questions? We have collected the main questions in an FAQ for this deployment. Please ask questions you might have on the FAQ’s discussion page.

Ciao!

C'è una nuova richiesta di pareri su Meta-Wiki che riguarda la rimozione dei diritti di amministratore per i Wikimediani inattivi da lungo tempo. Tale proposta verrebbe messa in atto, in linea di massima, dagli Steward sulle wiki prive di alcun sistema di riconferma o decadenza per inattività.

Stiamo anche compilando una lista di progetti con procedure per rimuovere gli amministratori inattivi dalla talk page della richiesta di commento. Non esitare ad aggiungere il tuo/i progetto/i alla lista, se hai una regola da proporre sull'inattività dell'amministratore.

Ogni parere è gradito. La discussione dovrebbe concludersi intorno al 21 maggio 2013 (21/05/2013), ma se necessario potrebbe essere prolungata.

Grazie, Billinghurst (thanks to all the translators!) 07:17, 24 apr 2013 (CEST)
