Wikidata weekly summary #583

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • Open request for adminship: koavf 3 (RfP scheduled to end after 8 July 2023 13:16 UTC)

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

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
