OK I subscribed to this task because I watched the streamyard thing (thx Andrew & co.!), but am not sure if we are talking about the same thing. So one of the things I dream of is getting rid of Excel in my workflow process (also because with each laptop/mobile device I have issues finding stuff and picking up where I left off). Ideally I could take an item like the one I want to create (another portrait painting from the same collection, catalog, or artist), generate the quick statements needed to create that one and have it appear in a notepad-like window I can easily update and feed into Quick statements, or better yet - just dump it directly into the QS old-style notepad-like window!

This is a interesting thing. In PAWS it is possible to use R. I tried to do a bit with it in the last days but I dont know much about it. Do you think it is possible to use R for creating such an upload for Quick Statements

I don't have any development environment installed for wikimedia projects at all. I only use already-created tools, mostly listeria and petscan these days (by Magnus Manske).

So glad to see there is interest! Actually, I already have the Python subroutines to do most of this, via the tool I made for doing knowledge graphs:

https://tools.wmflabs.org/knowledgegrapher/

This can take any mix of inputs (like "wd:Q5" or "Q5" or "en:Human") and turn them into proper Q numbers. Then it's just a matter of some kind of interface to craft Quickstatements to add, delete, or to create new items.

Here is a helper SPARQL query I would imagine folks would find useful:
