Restricted Application added a project to T224533: WD within WP watchlists: Allow hiding changes to descriptions used in other languages: Moderator-Tools-Team.

Hello, this ticket T401288: Implement a more granular alias usage tracking may be of interest here; it will reduce the volume of Wikipedia (and other Wikis) Recent Changes and Watchlist changes coming from Wikidata, by applying more specific criteria before a change propagation is made. Although the mentioned ticket only covers edits to Aliases of Wikidata entities (not Descriptions), it does match the example given in this ticket's description.

On Minerva skin, when a Wikidata edit is shown, the timestamp is always aligned to the right of the article name / QID, whereas regular local Wiki-edits shunt the timestamp below the article name. Perhaps this is intentional, or an oversight but was reported to us as an issue when readers/editors scan the page as they scroll and this layout change interrupts their flow.

tags - on Wikidata, this page lists information regarding the type of automatic edit summary and where/what the source is, shows many Bots.
Do these bot identifiers appear on Wikipedia watchists?

@Quiddity , it was an informational addition to celebrate reducing the page load time. I don't think in this case any redraft is necessary. I'll keep in mind the intended audience for any future updates/additions.
Thank you.

Danny_Benjafield_WMDE added a comment to T379615: Exporting articles from a Wikipedia (through [[Special:Export]]) .
  • When do editors export articles from Wikipedia?

From some research I found the following points:

  • MediaWiki:Help:Export - Why export? - more efficient than database download as avoids converting HTML to wikicode
  • Backup / archive an article (may be particularly relevant for contentious issues where you expect a lot of edits, reversions, vandalism)
  • Import article to another Wiki
    • Use content in your own MediaWiki instance / fork
    • Copy content and wikisyntax to another lang. wiki for in-place translation.
    • Special: Export has checkboxes to export the content + Templates + SubTemplates + Gadgets
  • Offline access: intermittent or limited internet connectivity, an offline-available version of the article.

For Tech News, it looks like this is ready to re-announce now. Please could someone confirm if this is an accurate description to include, or if it needs tweaks, additions or something different?

Later this week, the location of the "Wikidata item" menu entry within the Tools sidebar, will be moved into the "Other Projects" section. Some wikis have already made this change locally. [ 1 ]
