"chissà se hai fatto un giro in talk da Sannita per vedere che ho scritto anche a lui": si gli hai scritto una cosa ovvia che sapeva già prima, in pratica se gli avessi scritto guarda 2+2=4 era praticamente la stessa cosa;
" Poi volevo dirti che ho una vita tranquilla fuori da Wikipedia, quindi sono felicissimo a prescindere di cosa succeda su Wikipedia perché a me le cosa vanno in maniera decente;": grazie che mi hai detto una cosa di cui non me ne importa proprio nulla, comunque la mia vita va più che bene e non vedo perché devo parlarne con te e tu della tua con me;
"Wikipedia è un bell'hobby": lo era in molti ormai lo stanno rovinando;
"Sai com'è, in molti pensano che gli admin abbiano una vita fuori da wiki frustrante e si sfogano qui.": Quindi? Parlane con loro mica ho mai detto qualcosa del genere e non vedo perché me lo dici.
" Se inizi a vedere meno complotti ": la frase si commenta da sola
"allora inizierai a pensare che Restu, Sannita, Erik e tutti gli altri possono relazionarsi tranquillamente e pacatamente tra loro": ti ricordo che ha iniziato lui, senza neanche provare a chiarisci nella mia talk. Quindi parlane con lui non con me. Hai ancora qualcosa da dirmi o possiamo finire questa inutile discussione? --Erik91☆☆☆ 21:01, 26 nov 2012 (CET)
Ma è una prassi oppure c'è scritto da qualche parte? comunque mi pare abbia poco senso intitolare due sezioni "classifiche mondiali" quando di fatto non lo sono in quanto non sono complete...per lo stesso ragionamento nei gp dovremmo segnare solo i primi 10, quelli che prendono punti. Se è una prassi non discussa penso si debba discutere...imo così ha molto poco senso...saluti--Riottoso?18:37, 27 nov 2012 (CET)
Posso capire i gp "pre wiki" dove avere i primi 10 è già buono, ma non dico questo, dico che oggi, dove c'è possibilità di dettaglio, stilare due tabelle con le classifiche mondiali "monche" non ha proprio senso...cioè anche se prassi, la trovo una cosa insensata non scrivere chi ha totalizzato 0...--Riottoso?18:44, 27 nov 2012 (CET)
Ovviamente, e lo dico prima a scanso di equivoci, non ce l'ho ne con te ne con nessun altro, tuttavia, a seguito dei gravi-problemi riscontrati con l'utenza e che ho riassunto sommariamente, e dalla maggioranza degli interventi che chiedeva un periodo più lungo, si, su quel punto non mi trovo d'accordo con quanto comminato, poi amici e colleghi come prima, ma ringraziando la democrazia, posso non essere d'accordo e spero ancora di poterlo esprimere. Ringraziandoti per il tuo messaggio, ti auguro comunque una buona giornata e buon wikilavoro, un saluto. --Nicola Romani (msg) 13:31, 28 nov 2012 (CET)
porta pazienza
Restu scusami, ti avevo promesso delle cose ma devo rimandare l'impegno...anche con Alonso avrei intenzione di dare una sistemata ma il tempo a mia disposizione non me lo permette. Entro fine dell'anno ce la faccio, promesso :D Whatil pazzo profeta dell'etere14:37, 29 nov 2012 (CET)
Ciao Restu20, visto che per me la situazione è nuova ti chiedo un consiglio. Sbaglio se provo a contattare l'interessata e chiedere un suo parere sulla mia bozza, se la integrerebbe con fonti, ecc.? Trovo assurdo (e con quali, eventuali, risultati legali!?) minacciare querele a priori. È possibile conoscere i dettagli della querelle, magari via email? Grazie in anticipo per la pazienza che saprai e vorrai offrirmi. --RrronnyDicami!Cosefatte14:20, 30 nov 2012 (CET)
Non chiedo di leggere email private, ci mancherebbe... Vorrei solo saperne di più sulla faccenda. A tal scopo ho già contattato l'OTRS. Aspetto gli sviluppi, dunque, da te o da altri. Grazie per adesso! ;) --RrronnyDicami!Cosefatte16:06, 30 nov 2012 (CET)
Ciao Restu, visto che ti occupi spesso di questioni legate all'automobilismo, te ne pongo una che non riesco a risolvere. Faccio del lavoro sporco cercando di sistemare valanghe di codici ISBN errati (mi aiuto ad es. con questo elenco). Bene, il testo che trovi nella Biblio di Mika Salo, e che è riportato in varie voci di WP, riporta un codice ISBN sicuramente errato, ma non riesco ad individuare quello giusto. Per caso sai come (o dove) riuscire a trovarlo? Un saluto. --Er Cicero11:33, 1 dic 2012 (CET)
OK, grazie lo stesso. Sul codice ASIN (ed altri similari) ho intenzione, appena riesco a tirare le fila, di aprire una discussione al Bar perché c'è molta confusione in giro. Un saluto. --Er Cicero08:13, 2 dic 2012 (CET)
Scorporo sezioni "Storia"
Già che ci sono, ti chiedo un chiarimento: qui ho proposto la separazione di alcune ipertrofiche sezioni "storia" da alcune voci, trasferendo la Storia in voci apposite. La proposta è stata accettata: dovrei quindi scorporare le sezioni "Storia" per creare le due nuove voci. Ora, leggendo Aiuto:Scorporo ho capito che la procedura è questa:
Creo la nuova voce (es. Storia della Serie A) copiando il contenuto della sezione;
Cancello la sezione dalla vecchia voce (es. Serie A#Storia);
Inserisco il template ScorporoUnione nella pagina di discussione;
Copio la cronologia in discussione.
L'ultimo passo è quello che mi dà problemi: la cronologia delle due voci, Serie A e UEFA Champions League, è enorme, sconfinata. Come faccio a copiarla tutta? (Ah, ho effettuato qualche piccolo fix al tuo editnotice, qualche frase tornava poco in italiano. Se non sei d'accordo, annulla pure :-)). --Triple 8(scrivimi qui)11:24, 2 dic 2012 (CET)
Scusami, ho protetto mentre scrivevi. Condivido in parte le tue affermazioni, ma so che questo genere di vandalismi infantili è particolarmente fastidioso. Se decidi di sproteggere non mi offendo :) Ciao, --Mari (msg) 13:29, 2 dic 2012 (CET)

Grazie per l'info, stavo procedendo alla richiesta su meta e m'ha conflittato Frigotoni!^^ Ciao.--Kōji(msg)13:59, 5 dic 2012 (CET)
Wikidata weekly summary #35
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Development
Deployed new code on wikidata.org with a lot of bug fixes and a new Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel (all changes here)
http://test2.wikipedia.org now uses Wikidata (click “edit links” at the bottom of the page), and we are working to enable the synchronization of changes to test2 and display links from the repository
Added wbsetqualifier API module
Added wbremovequalifiers API module
New JavaScript wb.Api now used for labels, descriptions, aliases and sitelinks
Improved Selenium tests and PHPUnit tests
Selenium tests now independent from ULS
Selenium tests for statements UI
Existing statements can be edited now
Filtering anons and Wikidata in RecentChanges on client now works correctly
Added extra checks on client RecentChange save point to avoid duplicate entries
Started an experimental branch with API methods for claims
Link to Commons Media displayed for Snak values of related data type
Improved styling of statements in JavaScript mode
Improvements in templating engine
Started working on adding Statements to existing section of Statements
Nessuna libertà di panorama in Italia: facciamo qualcosa?
Ho aperto una discussione molto interessante sulla mancanza di libertà di panorama in Italia e vorrei tanto che tutti insieme decidessimo qualcosa in merito per chiarire alcune questioni molto vaghe "come si fa a capire se una foto rappresenta la creatività dell'autore", legato al template {{PD-Italia}} e per fare qualcosa per sensibilizzare l'opinione pubblica al problema. Se ti senti a tuo agio leggetela pure tutta. Se non ti interessa è normale, quindi ti capisco. (Copyright immagini/Libertà di panoramaRaoli ๏̯͡๏ (msg) 18:09, 7 dic 2012 (CET)
Grazie, ma in questo caso il Ministero è fuori dalla questione, cioè si parla di libertà di panorama applicata ad opera abbastanza recenti per cui si applica il diritto d'autore. Si, sarò prudente. Comunque cercherò di non cancellarle, ma già averle elencate è qualcosa. Ti ringrazio Raoli ๏̯͡๏ (msg) 16:55, 8 dic 2012 (CET)
Ciao Restu, ho aperto una nuova UP per ridiscutere il blocco di Zhuang, dopo le prime verifiche sulle voci che hanno confermato le problematicità. Ciao :-) --Eumolpa(msg)22:05, 9 dic 2012 (CET)
Il punto è che non mi ci sono mai cimentato prima e, pur avendo letto la relativa pagina di aiuto, ho voluto rimandare il mio "debutto" a un'altra occasione, quando dovrò spostare una categoria un po' meno importante di quella dedicata a Tolkien ;-). A risentirci. --.ilNumeroNove ·talk11:33, 14 dic 2012 (CET)
Scusa ma dopo uno spostamento (tra l'altro discutibile visto che l'atleta è stato numero uno al mondo etc.) sarebbe stato il caso di correggere tutti i link che puntavano al vecchio titolo, visto che tra l'altro i link in entrata erano circa cinquecento... Occhio per le prossime volte, ciao --AsdaLol23:26, 13 dic 2012 (CET)
Per i link sto sistemando io col bot, mi ha solo fatto strano vedere che per quasi due mesi è rimasto in sospeso. Come titolo io avrei messo Peter Fleming come disambigua alle voci del tennista e scrittore, ma a sto punto lasciamo pure così. Ciao --AsdaLol23:34, 13 dic 2012 (CET)
Ho visto che hai annullato la mia richiesta di spostamento per File:Gallipoli-Stemma it.png e File:Gallipoli-Gonfalone.png, fammi dire che non concordo in quanto il nome del primo file è non segue palesemente le linee guida date per questo tipo di file; l'ho adottato in quanto esiste già File:Gallipoli-Stemma.png (palesemente copyviol e che, come è già successo in passato in casi analoghi, verrà sicuramente cancellato prima o poi) e non sapevo che il nome del centro leccese avesse la disambigua. IHMO in caso di spostamento del primo file il secondo dovrebbe seguire la stessa strada per coerenza. Ciao.GJo ↜↝ Parlami23:57, 13 dic 2012 (CET)
http://test2.wikipedia.org now uses http://wikidata.org for getting language links and wikidata.org edits affecting the existing articles on test2 show up in RecentChanges (if they are not hidden)
Statements (think of “population: 2.000.000” and similar things) are taking shape in the interface. They are still pretty buggy though at this point.
It is now possible to link to images on Wikimedia Commons in a statement (think of “image: sundown_at_the_beach.png” for example)
No longer possible to create new items and set labels when database is set to read-only
Added more tests to the GeoCoordinate parser
Make use of EditEntity in removeclaims API
Removed many singletons to reduce global state
Made SpecialSetLabel work with non-item entities
Improved settings system
Improved options of ValueFormatters
Improved options of ValueParsers
Moved label+description uniqueness check out of transaction to avoid deadlocks and changed it to only be enforced for edits changing any violating values
Fixed serialization of SiteArray
~=[,,_,,]:3
Had to fix reporting of aliases in wbsearchentities again
Implemented integration of baserevids for statements UI API calls for editconflict detection for statements/claims/snaks
Universal Language Selector fallback fix for Selenium tests
Report URL to entity in wbsearchentites API module
Moved the demo system to a larger server
Fixed several bugs in Statements user interface, most notably, adding Statements to existing sections and layout fixes
Added wikibase API module on the client to provide information about the associated repo (e.g. url, script path, article path)
A bunch of messages for autocomments were fixed (they are automatically added as an edit summary for edits on items and co in Wikidata - for example: “Changed [en] description: Finnish rock band”)
Toglimi una curiosità, Restu. Ma wikidata sarà uno strumento che compilerà automaticamente risultati e classifiche sportive con la ricezione di piccoli input? --Fidia 82 (msg) 19:17, 14 dic 2012 (CET)
Capisco. Ma quindi per esempio pagine come questa Associazione Sportiva Bari 1927-1928 non le faremo piu da noi? Guarda ti dico che se da un lato mi sentirei risollevato xke mi si libererebbe tempo, dall'altro mi diverte un pò farmi tutti i tabellini da me hihihi. Vabbeh. Ciao ;) --Fidia 82 (msg) 19:29, 14 dic 2012 (CET)
Quindi sarebbe una fonte in piu?! Piu che altro da un punto di vista tecnologico o telematico è interessante come cosa....poi me ne parlerai meglio ;) --Fidia 82 (msg) 19:38, 14 dic 2012 (CET)
RE: Inizia a muoversi qualcosa
ciao. spero si fermino ai dati "nudi e crudi", cosicchè poi l'impostazione dentro i vari template "in alto a destra" per l'estetica la facciamo noi --Salvoda PALERMO20:51, 14 dic 2012 (CET)
Ciao visto che sei esperto, non potresti migliorare la voce descrivendo le tre fasi e la situazione attuale? Inoltre visto che si è già arrivati a quota 1 milione di voci (tra l'altro bisogna chiamarle voci, articoli, pagine o altro?) si può mettere tutte le varie tappe di crescita già presenti nella pagina di discussione della voce ? --Erik91☆☆☆ 14:35, 16 dic 2012 (CET)
Così va già meglio, poi col tempo se puoi te, o qualcun'altro esperto di wikidata potrebbe migliorare ancora di più la voce più avanti. --Erik91☆☆☆ 15:11, 16 dic 2012 (CET)
Visto che siamo in argomento non si dovrebbe mettere a sinistra nella pagina di principale di wikipedia anche wikidata e wikivoyage sotto wikispecies ? --Erik91☆☆☆ 16:51, 17 dic 2012 (CET)
Avevo creato il redirect Citroën SM Kar-a-sutra perché dovrebbe essere il titolo effettivo della voce, secondo le convenzioni del progetto trasporti. IMHO, sarebbe opportuno lasciarlo, in attesa che quella e altre voci vengano rinominate ai titoli convenzionali. --Rapid (msg) 15:53, 16 dic 2012 (CET)
Hello. Please translate this article in your language if you could or please refer it to someone who does so. Thanks in advance. --SAMI (msg) 18:28, 17 dic 2012 (CET)
ripristino cancellazione redirect
ciao Restu20 scusami ma potresti ripristinare per favore il redirect che ho messo in cancellazione? questo Citroën SM Kar-a-sutra, (trovi delucidazioni in mia pagina discussione verso la fine "discussione controllo utenze") grazie mille scusa ciao--Pava (msg) 02:41, 18 dic 2012 (CET)
Mi spieghi per quale misteriosa ragione hai spostato in agosto categorie come Categoria:Musei di Firenze a Categoria:Musei a Firenze contrariamente al resto delle categorie esistenti e contrariamente a tutte le policy come questa? Adesso c'è da rispostare tutto, e dico tutto, con un bot o mano. te ne puoi occupare tu, perché io sennò mi metto imprecare e sotto le feste non è forse il caso. Grazie --Sailko12:06, 27 dic 2012 (CET)
Wikidata weekly summary #38
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week. It's rather short this time because pretty much everyone enjoys some well-deserved vacation.
Development
Some of us unwrapped gifts (-:
Started working on supporting different kinds of Snaks in the user interface
Fixing support for PostgreSQL in core, which was broken with introduction of the sites stuff
Code reviewing of changes in MediaWiki core
Adding watchlist filter in client for Wikidata changes
We have an intern for a week, Marius aka User:Hoo man. He’ll be working on the wizard for linking a new Wikipedia article to an existing item or creating a new item for it if none exists yet. (the first two stories here)
Refactored sites code to improve design
Changed item datatype to use entityid as datavalue rather than string
Added lots of new Selenium tests
Changed AbuseFilter so Wikibase can hook into it
Implemented new change dispatcher script
~=[,,_,,]:3
Working on combining successive changes to avoid watchlist clutter
Claims error handling (i.e. they now show error messages when needed)
Implemented initial version of Solr-based search for Wikidata in extension WikibaseSolr
Started investigating use of Lua/Scribunto for the Wikibase client
Since you weren't active, I've decided to notify you on your home wiki that your reconfirmation RFA on Wikidata has started. Moe Epsilon (msg) 05:09, 23 gen 2013 (CET)
Wikidata weekly summary #42
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Ciao Restu, ti contatto dopo aver letto la discussione sugli interwiki. Sono andato a cercare una pagina a caso (per provare) e ho notato che anche la pagina principale è stata affetta dallo stesso aggiornamento. Il problema è che la colonna con i collegamenti alle altre wiki è diventata lunghissima, molto più della della pagina in sé; solo alla fine si vede il link "Lista completa" e mi chiedevo se non fosse possibile ridurre il numero di interwiki com'era fino a qualche giorno fa. Ti ringrazio in anticipo, buona serata! Ciao, — TintoMeches(msg), 00:14, 31 gen 2013 (CET)
Wikidata weekly summary #43
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Development
Deployment on the Hebrew and Italian Wikipedia ([1][2][3])
Switched the Wikipedias over to a new, more scalable dispatching changes script for propagating changes from the repository to the clients
Fixing various deeply buried bugs and a few minor bugs reported after deployment
Preparations for next deployment on wikidata.org
Working on property parser function for the client
Implemented robust serialization of changes for dispatching
Resumed work on linked data interface
References can now be created, edited and removed on existing statements
Deployment of first parts of phase 2 on wikidata.org are planned for February 4 and deployment on English Wikipedia for February 11. See this blog post for details and more dates.
Open Tasks for You
Test statements on the [demo system before the roll-out to wikidata.org on February 4
Support for enhanced recent changes format in client
There are automatic comments for statement edits as well in the history now
Special page for unconnected pages, that is pages on the client that are not connected to items on the repository
Added permission checks for statements, so a user that can not edit will not be able to edit or that only a group can be allowed to do some changes like creating statements
d:User:PinkAmpersand is looking for someone to write a script that once someone has been made an autopatroller, retroactively patrols all of their prior edits
Note: changed day of next German office hour to March 8
Other Noteworthy Stuff
We have a time scheduled when Wikidata will be read-only for a database migration. The window for that is Feb 20 19:00 to Feb 21 2:00 UTC.
New features and bugfixes on Wikidata are planned to be deployed on Monday (Feb 18). This should among other things include:
Showing useful diffs for edits of claims (they’re currently empty)
Automatic comments for editing of claims (there are currently none)
Ability to add items to claims by their ID
Better handling of deleted properties
More results in the entity selector (that’s the thing that lets you select properties, items and so on) so you can add everything and not just the first few matches that are shown
We’re still working on the issue that sometimes editing of certain parts of items or properties isn’t possible. If you’re running into it try to reload the page and/or change the URL to the www. version or the non-www. version respectively.
Deployment on all other Wikipedias is currently planned for March 6 (a note to the Village Pumps of all affected projects will follow soon)
Lots of discussions about certain properties and how they should be used. Current state is at d:Wikidata:List of properties and new ones are being discussed at [d:Wikidata:Property proposal]]
ti informo che è iniziata la procedura di riconferma annuale che riguarda le funzioni di sysop attribuite alla tua utenza. Se lo desideri, puoi scrivere un commento. Grazie per quanto fatto nell'anno appena trascorso. Buon lavoro.
Rollout of phase 1 (language links) on all remaining Wikipedias is still planned for March 6
Next update on wikidata.org is also planned for March 6. This will have bugfixes and if all goes well string as a new available data type.
Proposal was made to the Hungarian, Hebrew and Italian Wikipedias to be the first batch to use phase 2 of Wikidata (infoboxes). Scheduled timeframe for this is end of March
Ti contatto perché già una volta l'anno scorso abbiamo avuto occasione di collegarci, era notte fonda, e m'hai aiutato ad inserire un'informazione su esperimenti di quantistica presa da documenti in rete e che poi stranamente fu cancellata da altrui intervento... Comunque il fatto è che ieri ho inserito fonti in finestra per nota (che ho aperto appositamente) su voce Hugh Everett III laddove si richiedeva(voce generale non scritta da me e a cui ho aggiunto solo qualche altra altra scarna informazione), ma pare che nessuno se ne sia accorto...ed è rimasta la segnalazione "senza fonte"...che si fa in tali casi? Ciao.--Iovirgiliob (msg) 19:21, 2 mar 2013 (CET)
Ticket OTRS di un'immagine
Ciao Restu20, ho chiesto all'autore di un'illustrazione pubblicata sul Corriere della Sera l'autorizzazione all'utilizzo della suddetta immagine su Wikipedia (si tratta di un disegno relativo al nuovo abito del papa emerito), autorizzazione che mi ha volentieri concesso solo per Wikipedia e a patto che venga citato "Illustrazione di Franco Portinari per il Corriere della Sera". Ho spedito la mail a permissions, puoi fornirmi tu il ticket per cortesia? Se può serivire, l'immagine (questa, senza le scritte) penso si chiamerà File:Abito papa emerito (Ratzinger).jpg. Grazie. --InfattiVedeteCheViDice (msg) 17:36, 7 mar 2013 (CET)
Wikidata weekly summary #48
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Development
More work on widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly without having to go to Wikidata
Bug fixes for Wikipedias, including:
don't show edit link when noexternallanglinks magic word suppresses Wikidata links (bugzilla:45037)
use Q## links instead of linking to Special:ItemByTitle for “edit links” link (bugzilla:44536)
preference for showing Wikidata edits by default in watchlist (bugzilla:44973)
Catching up on writing tests for untested functionality
More work on the Lua support for accessing data from the repository (wikidata.org) on the Wikipedias
Updated Wikidata’s Vagrant development machine
Created initial QueryStore interface
Created initial setup code for the SQL QueryStore
Discussed and created initial schema for the SQL QueryStore
Simplified code for client settings, including which namespaces can have Wikidata links. The default is now all namespaces, without needing to explicitly specify them in the settings
Improved code for sorting interwiki links in the clients, with step towards allowing the communities to specify custom sort orders per Wikipedia
Improved handling of deleted properties
Further work on replacement for current search box
More work on improving error reporting and edit summaries in the API
Tim and Aaron killed the mystery bug that caused corrupt login tokens (bugzilla:41586)
Asked the Italian, Hebrew and Hungarian Wikipedias if they want to be the first to use phase 2 (will ask a few more to join the first batch later today)
Is a specific bug report really important to you? If you have an account on bugs.wikimedia.org you can easily add yourself to the CC list of the bug and then receive updates about its status via email
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Development
Design improvements to the SetClaim API module
More work on implementing the simple inclusion syntax that will be 1 way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia
More work on Lua (the second way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia)
Added parser page property to hold entity id in client. This fixes:
bugzilla:45037 - don’t show edit link if noexternallanglinks has suppressed all Wikidata links
bugzilla:44536 - have the edit link go directly to the Q### pages, instead of Special:ItemByTitle which shall make the link be more reliable and work for all namespaces
Selenium tests for deleted-property-handling
Selenium tests for multiline references
Selenium tests for add-sitelinks-from-client
Selenium tests for Entity-Selector-as-Searchbox
Selenium tests for language-table
Implemented in-process caching for entities
Lua support to access the repo data and implement getEntity (so you can use stuff like entity = mw.wikibase.getEntity("Q1459") in Lua modules)
rebuildTermSearchKey is now ready for production (this still needs to be run but once done it will make search case-insensitive)
Improved error reports from the API
Ground work for better edit summaries from the API
Added a table of content to item pages
Added debug functionality to be able to investigate why it takes longer than it should for Wikidata changes to show up on recent changes and watchlists on Wikipedia
Finished implementation of References-UI
Implemented GUID generator in JavaScript
Worked on fixing a bug related to deleted properties where the UI would display wrong information
Minor fixes/additions to the JS datamodel implementation
If you add a Babel box to your user page Wikidata will show you items and descriptions in other languages you speak as well without you having to switch the language
Want to know which items use a certain property? Try the “what links here” link on a property page
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Development
Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
Support for multi-line references in diff view
Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)
When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.
Ciao Restu20, volevo farvi conoscere una situazione che sto avendo con l'utente Vituzzu. Gli ho detto che la statment tiene re-inserimento è sbagliato e non è supportato da fatti, ma lui continua a insistere senza fornire una buona ragione. Speravo che ci può aiutare. (Simbass (msg) 21:00, 25 mar 2013 (CET))
Wikidata weekly summary #51
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Worked on making properties accessible from the client using their label so you can use {{#property:executive director}} instead of {{#property:p169}} for example
Made qualifiers ready for the next deployment (Please test. See details further down.)
Selenium tests for qualifiers
Fixed some issues related to QUnit testing
Worked on improved handling and code design of multiple snak lists in the UI (qualifiers, references)
Discussions/Press
Denny wrote down how we’re planning to support queries on Wikidata. Feedback welcome.
Now that improvements for references have been deployed here’s a discussion on the best way to use them. (You can see an example of how it could be used in the source for “CAS registry number” on d:Q153)
We’re currently carefully monitoring performance after the deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias. There seem to be a few small issues. As soon as they are resolved we'll deploy on English Wikipedia. All other Wikipedias are planned to follow very soon after that.
Bye and a big thank you to Anja, Silke, Jens and John who are leaving the development team at the end of the month and will work on other cool things. You’ll be missed!
Ever had any doubt about the possibilities of Wikidata? Talk to Wiri!
We worked on reducing the time it takes for Wikidata edits to show up in the Wikipedias and made some progress. Daniel posted an analysis
We started running a script on the database in order to make search on Wikidata case-insensitive. This should be finished in a few days and then search should be more useful.
In addition to the above we have rolled out a new search box that suggests items. This should also make finding things on Wikidata a lot easier for you.
We’re making some progress with Internet Explorer 8 support but there are a lot of issues with it (some outside our control). It’s unclear at the moment how much we can improve it still without spending an unjustified amount of time on it. You can follow the progress at bugzilla:44228
Edits are now auto-confirmed for users with more than 50 edits and account age 4 days: bugzilla:46461
Do you need old-style interwiki links for a sister project for example? This is for you
The Wikimedia Foundation applied as a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code again. We have proposed some Wikidata projects for students to take up if the Foundation is accepted again. At least 2 other organisations that applied also propose Wikidata ideas. More details on that once we know which organisations are accepted.
Denny hacked together a tree of life based on data from Wikidata
Did you file a bug report for Wikidata or did someone else do it for you? Please take a minute to check if it is still valid. (Thanks for filing it btw!)
Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on this discussion page? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk)
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Development
The first year is over. Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping to build Wikidata and making it more than we could possibly have hoped for already. <3
Put a lot of work into improved support for Internet Explorer 8
Worked on improving recent changes code in client
Finished valueview refactoring. Created new extension “ValueView”
Deployment of phase 2 on English Wikipedia is currently planned for April 8. The remaining Wikipedias are scheduled for April 10. As usual this might change if we run into problems along the way.
There is now a page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.
There’s now a badge you can add to Wikipedia articles to indicate there is data about it on Wikidata
Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Development
Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)
Worked on using Redis for job queue to improve the lag situation even further
Created new Wikibase Query extension for phase 3 functionality
We need feedback from contributors working on references addition or having tried to add references to statements. Please comment about your problems or your trials at d:Help:Sources
Other Noteworthy Stuff
Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.
Restu, scusa il disturbo, ma sono perseguitato da Vale93a che non ha meglio da fare che instaurare processi a mio carico eppure ho cercato di seguire le tue indicazioni. Mio malgrado adesso mi trovo costretto a chiedere un vaglio sul comportamento di Vale93a, che dopo aver devastato una Voce critica e delicata come quella sulla Tragedia di Ustica, (vedere mia nota di protesta) dopo aver rischiato di mettere in imbarazzo gli stessi familiari delle Vittime, soprattutto i più giovani, con quella faccenda dei dettagli macabri sui cadaveri di cui era stato fatto Nome e Cognome, sulla quale sono dovuto intervenire, fortunatamente con l'appoggio degli altri contributori, continua ad impazzare ergendosi a Giudice Massimo, impedendo e rifiutando qualunque discussione non sia in linea con il suo parere. Sostanzialmente accusa me di tutte le sue intolleranze. Evidentemente un atteggiamento immaturo, non adatto ad una Voce così delicata come questa Tragedia dove i Protagonisti sono ancora presenti e soffrono per le conseguenze delle perdite e delle ingiustizie subite. Ho cercato di presentargli il mio punto di vista e di chiedere spiegazioni (vedere punto 2 della mia risposta al suo invito), ma la domanda è rimasta naturalmente inevasa e di fronte alla mancanza di argomenti l'unica trovata è stata aprire questa nuova segnalazione a mio carico. Vedere le frasi scitte da Vale93a tipo "...così è e così rimane.." che non accettano replica, così come le reiterate cancellazioni senza discussione per cui è stato richiamato più volte e non solo dal sottoscritto.
E' una situazione insostenibile, ho presentato le mie tesi alla stessa Associazione delle Vittime della Strage di Ustica ed ho avuto una ben diversa accoglienza, ringraziato in primis dalla Senatrice Bonfietti. Ho partecipato alla conferenza del 2010 al Politecnico di Torino "Può la Scienza dire ancora qualcosa su Ustica?" come relatore, alla presenza dei migliori Tecnici italiani e stranieri che si sono occupati come Periti della relativa inchiesta e non mi sono sentito trattare a questa maniera, anche se in quella sede convivevano opinioni diverse e tra l'altro da parte di professionisti del massimo livello. Evidentemente questo Vale92a ha dei problemi ad argomentare la materia, quindi non accetta un confronto sulle ideee e sui pareri e pertanto queste sue trovate sono l'unica risorsa che può presentare al posto di una competente discussione. Siccome è la seconda volta che succede, per nulla naturalmente, come si può facilmente vedere dalle mie domande che, se anche incisive sono plausibili ed attendono ancora una risposta (compresa quella su un TAG menzognero che impesta la Voce da mesi), adesso sono io che chiedo cortesemente ma fermamente agli Amministratori di impedire a Vale93a di devastare ancora la Voce sulla Tragedia di Ustica. Non conosco i mezzi tecnici per fare questa richiesta, ma sicuramente voi Admin potrete occuparvene. Scusandomi di un disturbo che non avrei voluto dare, restando a disposizione degli Utenti e Admin per giustificare ogni mio contributo, sia come intenzioni che come Fonti utilizzate, porgo Distinti Saluti. --Fox2 (msg) 15:45, 16 apr 2013 (CEST)
ciao Restu20, riguardo questa immagine di cui ho fatto la procedura relativa al copyright avendo esito favorevole, posso caricarla e poi chiedere al laboratorio grafico di eliminare scritte e "filigrana" (ovviamente la inserirei nelle pagine solo a procedura terminata)?--Luca1tr1fl18:58, 17 apr 2013 (CEST)

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Development
Dispatch lag is now down to 0 so changes should show up very quickly on the Wikipedias in watchlists and recent changes
wikidata.org now always redirects to www.wikidata.org. This should among other things solve the issue where people were not able to edit when on wikidata.org (bugzilla:45005)
Fixed weird blocked-user/protected-page handling in UI (bugzilla:45140)
Final meetings for the external professional review of our code and architecture. They were quite happy with the quality of the codebase and gave useful tips for improvements
Worked on automatic summaries for editing claims
Investigation of different JavaScript frameworks dealing with date and time
Worked on using Redis and the job queue for change notifications to clients
Deployment of phase 2 (infoboxes) on English Wikipedia is planned for April 22. All remaining Wikipedias are planned for April 24.
Qualifiers are available now. In the same update several bugs have been fixed mainly related to Internet Explorer 8. At the same time search has been made case-insensitive. More details here.
If fixing a particular bug is especially important for you then please consider voting for it in Bugzilla to help the development team prioritize. A list of all of the currently open ones is here.
ciao rustu, una pagina, e finora unica, che ho creato Raikinas, è stata proposta per la cancellazione
perché carente di enciclopedicità.
ti chiedo aiuto per sapere in che modo posso modificarla per evitare che ciò avvenga
Wikidata weekly summary #56
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Development
Worked with students on their Google Summer of Code proposals
Bugfixes were deployed on wikidata.org. The ones you probably care about are:
when clicking "edit links" on a Wikipedia article the user is automatically taken to the language links part of the item. Hopefully it is now more obvious how to change the links.
fixed a few cases where edit conflicts where detected in error
added automatic edit summaries for adding qualifiers and claims
Hungary report: Article writing contest about statistics and related sciences
Italy report: Wikipedia workshop; Editathon on women's biographies
Mexico report: Fotofestín activities; DIY scanner project progress and Winners of the Holy Week in Mexico photo contest at ITESM Campus Ciudad de Mexico

Ciao! Vorrei chiederti un'informazione relativa ai ticket OTRS. Conosco un paio di persone a cui piace fare foto ad atleti di livello nazionale durante le competizioni. Per esempio, ho visto che una di queste due persone ha scattato un bel po' di foto ai campionati italiani assoluti di atletica leggera 2013 ad atleti che hanno la voce su Wikipedia priva di foto (o con foto in cui compaiono sullo sfondo). Dato che l'autore delle foto non sono io, ma le caricherei io dopo la loro autorizzazione, come posso fare? Perché le foto sono un bel po' (in questo caso sono caricate su Facebook, nel caso dell'altro fotografo si trovano sul blog dell'autore: andocorri.blogspot.it.

Wikimania continues! If you are around make sure you come and say Hi!
Wikidata meetup in the chapters village on Saturday at 1 PM at Wikimania.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
Following numerous discussions we are happy to present the new version of the proposal that would lead to Wikidata supporting structured data for the Wiktionaries.
There are now only an estimated 1,000,000 articles remaining with inter language links, down from the previous 26,000,000!
Frequently used for cities and other places, P17 ("country") indicates the sovereign state an item relates to. There now at least 100 items for most present day sovereign states. Leading is China (Q148) with 607,817 items, followed by Iran (!794) with 105,875 items and the United States of America (Q30) with 99,243 items. China rose from just 5266 items a month ago.
Development
Changeops implemented for all Api modules
All Api modules now have better auto comments and custom summaries
To support the inclusion of geographical coordinates in Wikidata, just about two months a new data type came available and d:Property:P625 "coordinate location" was created. Already 565,000 pairs of coordinates are now available on WikiData. Compare this to 870,000 coordinates on English Wikipedia or 1,500,000 items with d:Property:P17 "country", likely to have coordinates. Have a look at them on a map.

Newest properties: approved by (P790), ISIL ID (P791), chapter (P792), Key event (P793), as (P794), distance along (P795), geo datum (P796), executing authority (P797), mission design series designation (P798), air ministry specification (P799), work (P800), notable work (P801), student (P802), professorship (P803), GNIS Antarctica ID (P804), subject of (P805). Italian cadastre code (P806) In Addition new properties to describe mushrooms were created: hymenium type (P783), mushroom cap shape (P784), hymenium attachment (P785), stipe character (P786), spore print color (P787), mushroom ecological type (P789), edibility (P789). These will allow to build the data for a mushroom infobox (as w:Template:Mycomorphbox).
Check if some of the items on this and this list can be merged. But be careful to only merge if they are really about the same topic! Help about merging is at d:Help:Merge.
Update, expand and translate d:Wikidata:Introduction to make it easier for newcomers to understand what Wikidata is all about.
Wikivoyage is still scheduled to get access to data on Wikidata (aka phase 2) on August 26.
Developers are working hard to also make the URL datatype available by August 26 but there are factors that are not in their hands so it might have to be delayed until the next deployment in 2 weeks. URL as a datatype will soon be available on test.wikidata.org. Please give it some thorough testing and report bugs.
Newest properties: separated from (P807), code Bien de Interés Cultural (P808), WPDA id (P809), academic minor (P811), academic major (P812), date retrieved (P813), IUCN protected areas category (P814), ITIS TSN (P815), decays to (P816), decay mode (P817)
Development

Note from Lydia about the future of the weekly summaries
I've been compiling the weekly summaries for Wikidata for the past 1.5 years. It is time to give this into the hands of a few capable community members now that I have moved on to product management. Starting next week I will not be compiling the weekly summaries anymore. I am happy to help anyone who wants to take over get up to speed of course. Please contact me if you'd like to take this over.

To give this section some life, since the development team had their holidays last week meaning nothing really got done (let them have one week off at least), I'll say a few words. 2014 is a new year and thus a new start, over the last year Wikidata celebrated its first birthday which brought reflection over what Wikidata had accomplish. Therefore I want to use the start of 2014 to reflect what Wikidata can do. For my personal over view see this page. For the summary, while it is meant to be a weekly simple update, I feel this can be used a lot more effective to put across not only what happened on Wikidata but things about Wikidata on other wikis, I am hoping to start a section over this within the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions for the summary, feel free to drop me a message at meta or Wikidata. Thanks.
Bugzilla:57754 Die if wbeditentity tries to clear from an old revision id
Bugzilla:55795 Add API option to show snaks in a list rather than grouped by property
Refactor of ChangeOp remove functionality
Continued to move parsing and validating of values from the frontend into the backend to improve performance and make the non-JS user interface more useful
Finished the Wikidata build script (We use it to pull together code from various git repositories into a single one for deployment)
You can now add labels in your language from within Reasonator. Technically oAuth is used. It now takes just one click to add a label in your language.

Wikidata weekly summary #98
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Noteworthy Stuff
Wikisource will receive access to the data in Wikidata on February 25th. Planning is taking place at d:Wikidata:Wikisource.
ti informo che è iniziata la procedura di riconferma annuale che riguarda le funzioni di sysop attribuite alla tua utenza. Se lo desideri, puoi scrivere un commento. Grazie per quanto fatto nell'anno appena trascorso. Buon lavoro.
Added more details to the diffs of time and geocoordinate values (will show which globe the coordinate is on and so on now as well)
More work on badges by Bene* - most work left is now in the GUI part of it
Removed unneeded and unused permissions/rights
Fixed a bug concerning spaces in quantities (bugzilla:61911)
Started work on taking ranks into account for queries, the property parser function and Lua. (By default only preferred values should be used if available. If not available then it should use values with rank normal.)
test2.wikipedia.org and test.wikipedia.org now use test.wikidata.org as their data repository, instead of wikidata.org
Started work on WikibaseInternalSerialization component
Changed the {{property}} parser function and Lua’s mw.wikibase.entity.formatPropertyValues to only return the statements ranked as preferred or if none are available the ones ranked as normal (This will probably go live on April 25th.)
Worked on improving page load time further by reducing the number of reloads during page loading
Made diffs for time and geocoordinates more complete and prettier
Continued research for user interface redesign
Tpt worked on optionally showing links to other sister projects in the client’s sidebar (bugzilla:54374)
Wrote a fix for Wikidata changes not showing up in the client’s watchlist (bugzilla:62149)
Updated a major chunk of our inline code documentation
Continued discussing technical details about how coordinates should be stored in Wikibase
Reduced page load time significantly once again. Page load time was cut to roughly 2/3. For now we’re happy with the resulting page load times. We’ll start concentrating on other areas of the user interface now.
Fixed faulty selection handling when adding a property using the keyboard (bugzilla:62868)
Worked on fixing issues with handling of spaces in quantities (bugzilla:62567)
Fixed miscount of Wikidata changes on the client watchlist (bugzilla:45812)
Wrote new browser tests for special pages using the Cucumber and Selenium frameworks
Improved error formatting, localisation and handling. We will work on error message wording next to make them more understandable.
Worked on the code which propagates page moves from the clients into Wikidata as a preparation for allowing page deletions to appear on Wikidata
Made the Wikibase extension work with the new “Compact language links” Beta feature and a bit more independent from the UniversalLanguageSelector in general
The student team working on the entity suggester has finished the first version of it. The code is being reviewed now and is hopefully ready for deployment soon. Once it is deployed it will show you what new properties you could add to an item.
Salve Restu,
mi chiamo Romeo Filippi e lavoro presso edizioni Full Color Sound , casa editrice pioniera in italia nel settore degli audiolibri.
La pagina di Full Color Sound su wikipedia è stata cancellata circa 2 anni fa. Oggi però altre case editrici nostre concorrenti (emons audiolibri) hanno una voce su wikipedia.
La nostra seppur piccola realtà vanta prestigiose collaborazioni fra gli attori: Fiorello, Bisio, Serena Dandini, Lella Costa, Pannofino Leo Gullotta, solo per citarne alcuni; Abbiamo realizato delle opere anche con grandi musicisti come Piovani, Morricone e tanti altri.
Ovviamente tutti noi che lavoriamo in un settore ancora molto piccolo in italia ma ampiamente diffuso all'estero ci terremo che anche wikipedia premiasse i nostri sforzi per diffondere una forma "altra" della letteratura.
Quindi ti (ti do del tu siamo quasi coetanei) chiedo se c'è una procedura per riaprire la pagina, se posso farla exnovo o quale procedura possiamo adottare per rispettare le regole.
Intanto Grazie
Romeo
Wikidata weekly summary #107
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Looking for a cool university project with impact? We have some of them around Wikidata - not just for computer science students. Get in touch with Lydia.
Had a lot to think about and recap from the Zürich Hackathon, e.g. things regarding search, suggestions as well as the user interface redesign
Started doing mockups of the new user interface (Nothing to show yet, sorry!)
Setup an autogenerating code documentation instance on labs at wbdoc.wmflabs.org. Hint: Submitting patches that make the inline code documentation even better is a good starting point to get involved in coding
Worked on new datatype monolingual text (basically a string with an associated language)
Reworked a hell lot of “change operations” code that’s responsible for each and every edit as well as validating user input and API requests, for example denying empty descriptions and finding and blocking unnecessary duplications
Checked all the new Beta features that the teams in San Francisco are developing and made sure they work with Wikidata
Our efforts to make Wikidata faster broke some gadgets so we helped fixing them. Sorry for the breakage!
Dug into odd display bugs with the MonoBook skin and attempted to fix them (bugzilla:64741)
More testing on simple queries
Tpt worked on making inter-project links in the sidebar a beta-feature
Editors may now include their ORCID identifiers (and others, such as VIAF) on their user pages, using the Authority control template. You can register for an ORCID at http://orcid.org
More cleanup for the coming switch to WikibaseDataModel 1.0.
Icinga Dispatch Lag monitoring scripts, including IRC notifier bot, have been tested and are ready for Ops implementation. This should give us quicker notifications in case the notifications to Wikipedia and co about changes on Wikidata are slow again.
GenderCounter uses Wikidata to provide an accurate service with distinguishing male and female names
ca.wikipedia found a nice way to use Wikidata. They're comparing their living people to Wikidata to see if any of them have a date of death there. They're then put into a category for review: ca:Categoria:Persones vives a revisar
Continued working on full redirect support for items. It touches a surprising big chunk of the code base.
Continued working on the QueryEngine code base and it’s data type support.
Fixed and updated the most recent implementation of the property and item selector widget, e.g. a MonoBook specific bug.
Pushed along reviews and deployment of the entity suggester code that will make suggestions for new properties to be added to items. Our hope is to have it through performance review for the next deployment.
Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff' won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base. This is purely a trial and if you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here! Also sorry for this one being late :)
As part of the Outreach Program for Women d:User:User:Thepwnco is continuing improving all help pages to help new users understand Wikidata better. At the same time w:User:Discoveranjali is helping with social media outreach and creating presentations workshops about Wikidata.
More work on redirects. They are taking shape. Done with much of the groundwork. We've seen the first one! :D
Continued work on user interface redesign mockups
Monolingual text datatype is also taking shape but needs more user interface love to make it intuitive.
Investigated making Wikidata.org its own client so you can for example get access to better Lua functions for access to an item's label on a discussion page. Outcome: Should be possible but needs some more work.
Two new GuidedTours (aka interactive tutorials) have been released—we now have one on editing items and one on editing statements! Both tours are available from the Wikidata:Tours portal and feedback can be left on the talk page at Wikidata_talk:Tours. The work was a combined effort of User:Bene* and Outreach Program for Women intern User:Thepwnco.
We passed another milestone \o/ 10 million items now have an "instance of" or "subclass of" statement making it easy to tell what the item is about.
Bene* worked with the dev team this week. He pushed forward support for storing badges (eg featured article) on Wikidata and implemented the first two guided tours.
CTRL+ click and middle click on a search result in the entity selector now opens the result in a new tab.
Further progress on redirects
Fixed a number of annoyances with the entity selector
Continued work on mockups for new user interface
Investigated what issues come up if we make wikidata.org its own client. Things look good so we will probably enable it soonish. This will mean you can link Wikidata pages in items and access the data in them on other pages on Wikidata.
Ciao Restu, mi è dispiaciuto tantissimo accorgermi che non hai editato da più di sei mesi :-( Ho segnalato e ti ho ringraziato su meta, e lo faccio anche qui: sei stato uno dei miei maestri in sysoppologia, e ho apprezzato la tua disponibilità e la tua serietà nel lavoro da utente e da admin. Spero che tornerai a darci una mano appena potrai, e ti faccio i migliori auguri per la tua RL. A presto, ciao! --Euphydryas(msg)17:47, 26 lug 2014 (CEST)

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Wikidata's new Main page is almost ready to go live, but is still in need of a visually-appealing banner! Got an idea for an eye-catching design that represents what Wikidata's all about? Submit proposals before August 11 at d:Wikidata:Portal Redesign/Banner
Ciao, mi permetto di scriverti perché ti ho visto fra gi Utenti emiliani. La responsabile, Raffaella Zaldini, della Biblioteca Comunale di Novellara mi ha chiesto di lanciare un appello per trovare Wikipediani in zona: conosci qualcuno di quelle parti? Grazie, --Pervinca51 (msg) 16:27, 7 ago 2014 (CEST)

Wikimania \o/ It was amazing and Wikidata all over the place. Wikidata's true potential is starting to show.
Finished a large number of new features and got them ready for roll-out. More in this email.
Wikibase made a big step forward to finally switch to DataModel 1.0.
Improved support for entity IDs bigger than 2 billion (32 bit integer).
We had to adapt Wikibase to some major changes (more major than usual, partly caused by discussions at Wikimania) in MediaWiki core: The default Vector skin became it’s own component and the ResourceLoader got some small but important updates.
Continued work on refactoring code of the user interface to make it ready for new design
Wrote a script to get number of users having wikidata in their recent changes/watchlist from the database
The new Main page will go live early next week! Template:Ll for more details and to leave any last comments
It will be possible to show the badges like "Featured Article" stored on Wikidata in the sidebar of the clients (Wikipedia, Wikisource, ...) starting Tuesday. Wikipedia will follow on Thursday.
Starting Tuesday we will deploy a new beta feature on the clients. It will allow you to show links to other sister projects in the sidebar based on the links in Wikidata.
Badges support via Wikidata has been rolled out to Wikipedia and other sister projects. If the icons shown are not the ones your project would like please request a change here.
Performance improvements for "in other projects sidebar" beta feature and bug fixes in the feature on wikis with sidebar cache enabled (e.g. zhwiki, commons)
Worked on performance improvements to badges feature
Fixing bug with xml format in the API, and added tests for it so hopefully this does not break again!
Worked more on enabling statements on properties
Further work on new user interface design groundwork - mostly refactoring and enabling editing of multiple sitelinks and label/alias/description at once
First pokes at usage tracking
Drafted an RfC to improve recent changes so we can show Wikidata changes also when enhanced recent changes is enabled
With the deployment next Tuesday you will be able to edit all sitelinks at once as well as all fields of the "in other languages" box. This is an intermediate step towards the new user interface and will evolve further over the next weeks. You can see what is coming on Tuesday now already on test.wikidata.org.
WikiProject Names aims to improve name related data on Wikidata. Initial focus is on first names (given names). Half of items for first names still need cleaning up, but 15% of items for persons already have a given name defined.
Worked on supporting statements on properties in WikibaseDataModelSerialization (bugzilla:66425)
Fixed broken xml api output (bugzilla:70531), as well as some inconsistencies in the xml format and added tests that should help avoid future breakage in the xml format
Finished performance improvements for badges
Worked on entity usage tracking
Pietro from the EAGLE project came to visit us, one of the first 3rd party users of Wikibase. See http://www.eagle-network.eu
Added a hook point to allow 3rd party users (like the EAGLE project) of Wikibase to control what goes into the search index
Started work on a widget that lets you edit badges right in the item instead of going to the special page
Want to be kept up-to-date on structured data on Commons? There is now a new newsletter you can subscribe to.
Interested in some statistics about the data on Wikidata? Check Wikidata Stats every now and then. (Thanks Magnus for moving it to the new dump format.)
Spent the week with the WMF multimedia team and volunteers to get more clarity about structured data on Commons. We'll be asking for feedback on a lot of stuff over the next weeks. The main info hub is taking shape at Commons:Structured data.
More fixes for the switch to HHVM
Looked into possible performance improvements. Some of them will be taken into the next sprint.
Battled a handful of nasty issues on the live-site
