Wikidata weekly summary #608
- Welcome to 2023’s Final Weekly Summary!
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the newsletter this year!👏🙏 As we step into 2024, we'd love to hear what changes you would like to see in the newsletter. Share your wishlist here: What changes would you like to see in the newsletter in 2024?"
- Discussions
- Import sitelinks, labels, descriptions from ku wikipedia pages which use the template w:ku:Template:Înterwîkî etîket û danasîn. (There are over 1800 articles that use this template waiting to be connected to Wikidata at the moment.)
- Add sitelinks to kuwiktionary / kuwikipedia categories / create an item for the category if necessary. I have been doing this manually for quite some time using Quickstatements but since I need to get permission for the first task, I will be handling them using a bot as well.

- African Librarians empowered to share knowledge and enhance information visibility through AfLIA Wikidata Online Course --> The "Promoting Open Knowledge Practices in African Libraries through Wikidata" project, executed by AfLIA with support from the Wikimedia Foundation, trained African librarians on using Wikidata to enhance the visibility of library collections and close the knowledge and gender gap on Africa. The course was facilitated by experienced African Wikimedian editors and included diverse strategies for learner engagement and support.
- Papers: Increasing Coverage and Precision of Textual Information in Multilingual Knowledge Graphs by (Conia et al, 2023) --> This paper introduces a novel task of automatic Knowledge Graph Enhancement (KGE) to bridge the gap in the quantity and quality of textual information between English and non-English languages in Wikidata. It presents M-NTA, an unsupervised approach that combines Machine Translation, Web Search, and Large Language Models to generate high-quality textual information, and studies its impact on Entity Linking, Knowledge Graph Completion, and Question Answering tasks.
- Videos
- Wikidata, Wikisource and Wiktionary: Wikisource for DH (WiSe 2023) --> The lecture "Fundamentals and application-oriented methods of the Digital Humanities" by Kay-Michael Würzner is designed as a series of lectures in which teachers in the "Digital Humanities" course present their fields of work and key topics and present them for discussion.
- Empowering Open-Source Generative AI by Integrating the Wikidata knowledge graph --> Generative AI has changed the information ecosystem, and open-source knowledge graphs like Wikidata can become invaluable assets, propelling a myriad of applications forward. Jonathan Fraine & Lydia Pintscher present the practical integration of Wikidata's open-source, open-access knowledge graph to empower Generative AI applications. Harnessing the real-time updated, structured data encapsulated within Wikidata, they explore automated content creation, data augmentation, and semantic analysis, underpinning the generative paradigms. Through a blend of theoretical insights and real-world applications, they elucidate how to leverage Wikidata to elevate generative AI applications, breaking down existing data silos, and fostering a collaborative ecosystem within our global community of developers and contributors.
- Wiki Indaba 2023 - African content on Wikidata --> Discussion with Alice Kibombo, Georges Fodouop and Jesse Asiedu-Akrofi, about Wikidata for African Librarians during the Wiki Indaba conference, that took place between 3-5 November 2023 in Agadir, Morocco.
- No Time to Wait - S07E10 - ACMI // Wikidata - Paul Duchesne + Simon Loffler --> Report on recent residency program to extensively link together collection data from ACMI with Wikidata. This work has allowed the organisation to import vast quantities of data and media to enrich their own internet collection experience, as well enable writing information back to source and federating with other linked institutions.
- Wiki(s)data #5: Wikidata Live editing (in Italian) --> The ontology of Wikidata: how to interact with it for a better quality, by Epìdosis

- Map of K-Pop Idols --> An interactive map where each red dot represents a K-pop Idol (a singer or musician in South Korean Pop music) you are able to click on.
- Disney as the Mega Corporation it is Today --> Disney has greatly evolved from the simple animation company that first debuted in 1923 with its signature Steamboat Willie animation. This analysis details some of the major acquisitions Disney has chosen to help expand its reach as a media and entertainment company.
- The Gender-Equality Gap in STEM Awards --> A network graph and multiple data visualizations on UCLA's alumnni awards based on gender.
- Exploring The Belichick Coaching Tree --> This analyses details the coaching tree of the prolific American Football coach Bill Belichick.

- Tool of the week
- Cersei - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent).
- Wikidata:Zotero/Cita - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using cites work (P2860) information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data.
- Other Noteworthy Stuff =

SqWiki bot adoption
Hello! I finally managed to finish all the error messages your bot can give. I currently have imported the User:Qwerfjkl (bot)/inform/top-middle-bottom pages. I removed the last part from the bottom one not being sure if that would be really needed at our community or not. Can you take a look at those pages and let me know if they seem good and what would be the next step to make your bot work for us? Thank you in advance! - Klein Muçi (talk) 23:41, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, great, I'll start testing the code to make sure everything works as it should. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:40, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, can you intentionally trigger an error on sqwiki? I'd like to test if the code actually works. (It won't notify you, but it will log it.) — Qwerfjkltalk 19:35, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Uhm, how? - Klein Muçi (talk) 20:09, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, just make any change that would cause an error, like removing the title from a template. (Sorry for the late response, there were some other bugs in the code I had to fix first.) — Qwerfjkltalk 18:44, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Nevermind. See this as an example of what the bot currently outputs. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:59, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like there are a few more messages that need translation: the edit summary, the section header, and the "A (foo) error" message. These are all embedded in the code.
The relevant parts of the code are:f"A \"[[:{cause(category)}]]\" error"
f'Notification of CS1 error(s) on [[{title}]] ([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 17|Task 17]])'
f"== CS1 error on [[{title}]] =="
- For the first part leave just the error category itself without the "a" or " error" part;
- f'Njoftim për gabim(e) me referimet te [[{title}]]... Task 17 → Puna 17
- Gabime me referimet te [[{title}]]
- Are they understandable for you or should I rewrite them to strictly follow the format? - Klein Muçi (talk) 20:24, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, that's great. I'll modify the code to use these. I suppose the edit summary should be changed, as enwiki bot approvals aren't relevant on sqwiki? — Qwerfjkltalk 20:56, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes but I'm also not sure if the numbered task structure is relevant to sqwiki either. How are you planning to organize it in general? — Klein Muçi (talk) 21:32, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- What we usuallly do in SqWiki is to ask for a bot operator to do 30-50 edits with its bot and if it gets approved/flagged, the bot operator is free to use it as it sees fit for as long as it doesn't bring any harm, without further requests for individual tasks. — Klein Muçi (talk) 21:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:34, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

- Uhm, how? - Klein Muçi (talk) 20:09, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- ┌───────────────────────────┘
Klein Muçi, I think I'll just remove the([[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 17|Task 17]])
bit from the edit summary. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:48, 23 February 2024 (UTC)- Yes. I agree. Want me to show you the page for the bot approval request? It's on the sidebar, should read something related to bots in English. If you can't find it or if you find the process confusing, I can link and explain more thoroughly. — Klein Muçi (talk) 12:32, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, I can see w:sq:Wikipedia:Robotët and a button to create a new task. I can fill out the preload in English. — Qwerfjkltalk 16:00, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes. Also transclude the request subpage in the mainpage in the end. Thank you! — Klein Muçi (talk) 16:08, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

- Yes. But the reports need a little tweaking:
The "Kategoria... :Mirembajtje/Gabime part should be removed, leaving only the parts after the colon. Secondly, some of them do include the help instruction part and some don't. Normally they all should, what is the difference between those cases? — Klein Muçi (talk) 19:37, 23 February 2024 (UTC)- Also the title should be changed to include one more word (faqja/artikulli) and the title should be italicized:
Gabime me referimet te {[Title]} → Gabime me referimet te faqja {[Title]}
The word should be "faqja" if the bot checks for ref-errors in all namespaces (for example, template documentations) and "artikulli" if it checks for ref-errors only on the main namespace. — Klein Muçi (talk) 19:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)- The same word should be added before the title in the summary as well. Either "faqja" or "artikulli" depending on the fact if the bot works in all namespaces or only on the main one. — Klein Muçi (talk) 19:42, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, okay, I think I've updated all of the translations. The issue with the category bit showing was I forgot to link the category, now fixed. The help instruction part is probably from earlier tests. — Qwerfjkltalk 19:48, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- Uhm... I'm not sure I follow. I'm talking about this string: Për ta zgjidhur këtë problem...
Normally that should be present in every error, helping people understand how to fix the said error. In some cases that's true, in some it is missing. — Klein Muçi (talk) 20:08, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Klein Muçi, that's handled by w:sq:Përdoruesi:Qwerfjkl (bot)/inform/middle, where it seems to be missing from some. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:19, 23 February 2024 (UTC)- Is it? When I Ctrl+F Për ta zgjidhur këtë in that page, every string seems to have it with different words following it, beside 1–2 in the end (which shouldn't). :/ — Klein Muçi (talk) 21:44, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
- The new upcoming messages seem correct though. Maybe it was the whitespace thing issue you mentioned in the beginning and now it is fixed. I'll do some minor changes to the overall message to make it seem more natural in Albanian and our wiki we can procced with the request. — Klein Muçi (talk) 14:05, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Changed them.
Can you also change the title format from
Gabime me referimet te artikulli [Title]
to
Probleme me referimet te artikulli [Title]
And the summary from
Njoftim për gabim(e) me referimet te artikulli [Title]
to
Probleme me referimet te artikulli [Title]?
Title and summary should be the same basically. Also if you could make them customizable on-wiki like you've done with the other parts maybe that could be beneficial in the long run if there are other attempts in globalizing the bot but I do understand how pywikibot parameters work and keeping them like they are its not bad either. — Klein Muçi (talk) 14:26, 24 February 2024 (UTC)- Also, shouldn't the other comments in ~/middle be included in the void template too? — Klein Muçi (talk) 14:29, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, okay, I've updated the translations. I'll move it onwiki tomorrow, but for security it would need to be interface-protected.
The other comments don't need to be voided, it was just because the matching string was in the first line, so the switch was matching the category and the comment, when the comment needs to be ignored. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)- Yes, I'm planning to protect any page related to the bot after we get it to work normally so no problem on that. (Or at least semi-protect them.) Speaking of that, is there any other page that needs to be imported/created for it? Maybe its user page if nothing else?
Meanwhile I keep doing micro-edits on its messages to make them appear more natural in Albanian. I have two requests for you:- Currently the errors themselves (which are category links) have a full stop/period in the end. Can you remove that please so it can be better integrated with the adjacent explanation coming after the hyphen?
- There are cases where the same error is done multiple times in the same edit which make for a rather strange message. For an example of this, check the notification about Neptune in your sandbox, currently the last notification. I believe only one notification should be sent per type of error. A better overall handling of this could be to actually link and highlight each problematic citation individually on the actual state of the article (and maybe ditch the edit history link) but maybe that's out of reach for the moment since you haven't implemented that functionality anywhere yet.
- Klein Muçi, okay. I've made a configuration page at User:Qwerfjkl (bot)/CategoryMonitorConfig.json. I removed the full stop from w:sq:Përdoruesi:Qwerfjkl (bot)/inform/middle.
I actually have no idea how the duplicate reference thing happened. I have code that filters out duplicates already, and I can't understand why it didn't work in this case.
It would require me to essentially rewrite the whole code if I wanted to look at each problematic citation - I do it via categories because it's much easier. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:58, 25 February 2024 (UTC)- Oh, I thought it would be per local wiki but this works too I guess. Thank you! I actually wanted to ask about that part. Where, if anywhere, is the {{{causes|Problem me referimet}}} part used?
And yes, I understand that it is a completely different logic so no worries. Maybe it serves as an idea for a future project.
There is a small problem: This section includes a cut category name because you've accidently cut two-part category names when you removed the "category:" part. I'm guessing it has to do with the colon regex.
Ultimately, the edits are currently coming from your account. I'm guessing that will change when the bot gets flagged? — Klein Muçi (talk) 18:33, 25 February 2024 (UTC)- Klein Muçi, the causes part is passed into w:sq:Përdoruesi:Qwerfjkl (bot)/inform/middle.
Yes, I do indeed use something similar to colon regex (I don't actually use regex, just string manipulation). It takes the name of the error as whatever is after the last colon. I suppose instead using everything after the second colon would work?
I'm running it on my account just for testing purposes. If I change the code to actually add the notifications to talk pages, I'll use my bot account. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:59, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Oops, just looked at my code and found I don't filter out duplicate categories. Should now be fixed. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:54, 25 February 2024 (UTC)- Yes, that logic would work I think.
Okay, thank you for the fix! So I suppose no need to import any other page for your bot other that what we currently have. Do we create a user page for it? A small presentation for its purpose and its operator? Do you have a kind of information page already available for the task which I can base the description on? I'm guessing after we're done with that, you can create the request for the flag and put the sandbox page as a link for the 30 edits. — Klein Muçi (talk) 20:56, 25 February 2024 (UTC)- Klein Muçi, yes, a user page for the bot would be good. The closest thing to an information page about it is probably Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 17. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:18, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you! I will create that and hopefully create a preset way to report problems to my page as well and then I'll protect all pages and I'm guessing we're done. — Klein Muçi (talk) 22:10, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
- I created a user page for it. Is your bot a Pywikibot? Asking just because I've put the Pywikibot notice on it so I remove it if not.
The text on it reads:
Hello!
I'm a bot controlled by user Qwerfjkl, and I automatically notify users when I find that their edits cause problems with references.
If I make a mistake, please leave a message to user Klein Muçi indicating the article in which the mistake occurred.
I intend to create a preset for such messages tomorrow and we're done. — Klein Muçi (talk) 17:53, 26 February 2024 (UTC)- Can you change the diff link in the top part of the message to include the two "before-after" panels diff-view instead of opening the said diff? It's easier for new users to see and understand what they've actually done like that and they don't risk starting to edit old/past versions instead of the current ones. — Klein Muçi (talk) 18:01, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, my bot does run on pywikibot.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by changing the diff link. If it's something that needs to be changed in the template, it's in /top. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:03, 26 February 2024 (UTC)- Okay, thank you!
Sorry, let me try and be a bit more clear:
Your bot currently links like this: User talk:Qwerfjkl (revision 1210452742)
I wanted it to link like this: User talk:Qwerfjkl (Diff ~1210452742)
The diff instead of the old version. Is it any clearer now? — Klein Muçi (talk) 18:35, 26 February 2024 (UTC)- Klein Muçi, it does link to the diff (example). It won't in cases like this where the page is created in the edit. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
- Ah! I was thinking that but it was happening too often and... Okay then, thank you!
- I was trying to modify the bottom part now like I said so that when my talk page link is clicked a preset title is added. Something like "Qwerfjkl bot - Question [Date]". Is there a way to do that without using inputbox? I can achieve it with that but it would require me to use some CSS to remove the button appearance and I don't want to go that way.
- Also, as you'll see in your sandbox, the bot now adds the name of the person it's talking to in the initial greeting (through a magic word - is it the correct magic word for this case?). Do you think the said magic word should be substituted or do you think it's good like it currently is? What is the usual practice in EnWiki in regard to this, if you happen to know? - Klein Muçi (talk) 01:45, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, it does link to the diff (example). It won't in cases like this where the page is created in the edit. — Qwerfjkltalk 20:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Klein Muçi, I would suggest substituting everything, because messages typically shouldn't change after they're initially posted.
For the date, you can probably use {{#time}}. — Qwerfjkltalk 07:18, 27 February 2024 (UTC)- Okay then. I will do so. But how can I make it preload a templated title? So I can easily distinguish messages that are related to the bot? - Klein Muçi (talk) 14:03, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

You can change preloadtitle to whatever suits you.

Also, have I done the subst process correctly here: w:sq:Përdoruesi:Qwerfjkl (bot)/inform/top ? — Klein Muçi (talk) 17:46, 27 February 2024 (UTC)- Klein Muçi, something like:(not sure if you have the equivalent of {{Replace}} on sqwiki).

I'm adding a short notice about that in your bot userpage.
One last question which is only tangentially related to your bot: Do you have any idea why in the first template in there (your bot userpage) we get an external URL for blocking your bot while the same doesn't happen almost anywhere else? You can see my bot page for an example where we get just an internal link. w:sq:Përdoruesi:Smallem
Or MajavahBot: w:sq:Përdoruesi:MajavahBot — Klein Muçi (talk) 18:24, 6 March 2024 (UTC)- Klein Muçi, its always an external URL, but my bot has a space in it's name which breaks the link (I've fixed the template now). — Qwerfjkltalk 19:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Well, that's everything then. Thank you very much for the patience shown and especially the bot itself! — Klein Muçi (talk) 19:13, 6 March 2024 (UTC)- Back sooner that I would like to be:
I noticed two small issues:- The bot notices can't provide a link to its sections when viewed through recent changes or its contributions. Maybe we should leave the summary "empty" to be autocompleted by the default values of these cases which is just the title section, and subsequently, a link to it?
- Is there a way to opt out of bot notices a user can utilize?

- Back sooner that I would like to be:
- I was suspecting it to be related to the space in the name.
- Klein Muçi, its always an external URL, but my bot has a space in it's name which breaks the link (I've fixed the template now). — Qwerfjkltalk 19:01, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Interesting, thank you!
- See also mw:Manual:Creating a bot#Bot Flag. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:09, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, ah, right. Per mw:API:Edit, just set the "bot" parameter to false. From my code:
- ┌───────────────────────────┘
Thank you! You changed the summary as you said you would but now it includes basically the same thing twice (because the title is the same as the summary). Can we remove the summary completely and leave just the section link? I've been monitoring its edits recently and I haven't noticed any other issues currently. Hoping for this to be the last. — Klein Muçi (talk) 09:12, 8 March 2024 (UTC)- Klein Muçi, yes, I've removed it from the config (might take a while to be reflected in the edit summaries). I'm still running the task on PAWS, when really it should be running on Toolforge, I'm just a bit busy right now and I don't have the time to fix it. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:08, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, I've seen. Oh well, that doesn't prove a problem per se. Do it when you can. :) - Klein Muçi (talk) 18:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! I found out another problem. Check this link. You'll maybe be able to see that the sentence is cut in the middle. If you see the corresponding line for that error you'll be able to understand this comes because the line includes a pipe in its explanation. Apparently Qwerfjkl bot can't handle such cases which is not that good because there are more than 2 sentences which make use of such syntax. Can you take a look? If nothing can be done, I can rewrite those cases to remove the pipe. — Klein Muçi (talk) 20:42, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, using {{!}} would presumably fix it. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:55, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Any idea what could be going wrong in the above link? We only get the category of the error, without the auxiliary text for solving it. — Klein Muçi (talk) 07:27, 17 March 2024 (UTC)- Klein Muçi, this appears to be some problem with /middle.
{{Përdoruesi:Qwerfjkl (bot)/inform/middle|cat=Kategoria:Mirëmbajtja CS1: Emra të shumëfishtë: lista e autorëve}}
produces nothing. I assume there's some invisible character or somemthing of that sort in /middle that means the category doesn't match. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:34, 17 March 2024 (UTC)- Hmm... I tried rewriting the category title but not sure if that did anything... — Klein Muçi (talk) 22:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Klein Muçi, it looks like there was indeed some invisible characters, I've removed them now. — Qwerfjkltalk 08:16, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! What tool did you use for that, if any? Just so I can use it for other times when I need to sanitize text in such manners. - Klein Muçi (talk) 08:50, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
