Explore how to update Wikibase statement search index whitelist on Commons
Open, Needs TriagePublic
Actions

Description

We have this:
Although haswbstatement searches work for many properties on Commons, haswbstatement:P1259 returns 0 results, even though many images on Commons have that statement. Per conversations with Erik, this appears to be happening because of a whitelist in Wikibase (https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config/blob/master/wmf-config/SearchSettingsForWikibase.php#L65-L68)

We want this:
Preferably all statements would be indexed for haswbstatement searches, but if that's not feasible due to performance/logistics, we should add the most common/important properties on Commons, and that should include P1259 (coordinates of the point of view) and P571 (inception)

Acceptance Criteria:

  • haswbstatement:P1259, haswbstatement:P571, and other important Commons properties (TBD) return accurate results on Commons

@Ramsey-WMF

FYI this isn't just a config change, we don't have code that formats time or globe-coordinate values for the search index.

Can you say more about the use-case for these searches? Is this just so users can find file without a value for P1259 (for example)? Or do we want users to be able to find files where the coordinates of the point of view are within a bounding box, or within X distance of another point?

For now, we just need the basics.

Is this just so users can find file without a value for P1259 (for example)?

Yes.

Or do we want users to be able to find files where the coordinates of the point of view are within a bounding box, or within X distance of another point?

That would be fantastic, but it is not the point of this particular ticket. We need haswbstatement:P1259 (and -haswbstatement:P159) to work at all first, so users can get accurate counts/results of which files have or are missing certain properties.
