yeah, so I start typing, and try to select one of the options: but it opens a new tab. I am on Android devices, editing in Chrome, asking for the desktop version of the site so that I can edit the Structured Data -- in particular I would like to be able to do AC/DC while watching tv, while using a tablet :P

@Maximilianklein we are building a prototype with @Slaporte at the WikiConference North America Hackathon: would be happy to workshop it there with you all? Are you going?

@Mvolz this should be closed right?

Adding a few more people who might have ideas on applications or needs: @Fuzheado, @Multichill @SandraF_WMF @Lokal_Profil @Yarl
Hey all, so I wrote a requirement for something that could be a rewrite of the Monumental software by @Yarl and @Slaporte. I have been shopping around the idea, and there is a fair bit of interest for a "missing wiki women" type list building do: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LtBujK6kARbwxUzDyF6hpv445rJwk7Ka7rAlf7e9USg/edit -- I would be happy to talk with folks about it.

Yeah, you should be able to use one of the JPG preview files which can be served from each ".tif" file -- that is what the thumbnails on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Projects are. @Keegan do you know who would know/where to look?

I guess for me the assumption that someone who answers the first part of the prompt "Input a SPARQL query" -- still might not know where to start, even if they are loosely familiar with SPARQL. Having a hint in the first screen that "ctrl+space can give you hints on where to start" would be super useful. I have found, in teaching sparql, its super useful to start from nothing -- so either having a blank filled out wrapper like SELECT ?item WHERE {?item } or having the ctrl+space hint which does that is the optimal thing for reminding someone who hasn't touched it in a while. Teaching from examples, in my experience, has only been good for demonstrating the power of Queries -- not for teaching folks how to actually use queries. And this interface is, in its very nature, assuming a bit of technical literacy -- so showing the hint early wouldn't hurt. It would be very different if we found that it confused brand new users -- but then maybe we need some type of guided tour hinting that folks should try out the examples menu.

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE it should probably appear before the : toast when there is an entirely blank screen -- otherwise completely new contributors to the tool get no hint on "where to start". The other option could be some type of guided tutorial popup when the screen is blank.
@TheDJ @Aklapper yeah -- I am not sure -- for me it seems like there should be a way to work around at our level just to make it less messy in the grand scheme of things -- @brion's idea or something similar (like pushing the file prefix elsewhere in the url) would prevent tools looking for file extensions at the end urls from making smart guess. I am not a developer though, and don't have a strong opinion on the how -- just that it creates a usability problem, especially when we are anticipating a largely mobile audience in the future.

The prototype looks really slick! Thanks @Prtksxna

Have we thought at all about counting ref tags added? References are a measure of quality of content in some Wikipedias.

@Milimetric @Nuria The amazing @Samwalton9 came to my rescue with some scripting and API pulls and got pretty far. I think for the quick and dirty stuff I need right now, that will do for me.
@JAllemandou That is not clear on the labeling of that item -- it says "Sources" which suggests a plural set of projects.
Aug 3 2018
I bet I know why that isn't working: the edit count may not be counting the contributions to the Proofread page extension namespaces?

One consideration might be that the Rightstatements.org community (http://rightsstatements.org/en/) is looking for a reasonable way to modify the need for license like http://rightsstatements.org/page/NoC-US/1.0/?language=en which are domain specific. Instead they would like a general "No Copyright based on X rationale". Perhaps an important stakeholder in this work is the Rightstatements community?

The interface for Crotos (http://zone47.com/crotos/ ) suggests a number of good ways to do this:
*first as someone searches in the search bar, it suggests what properties/statements you might be wanting to interact with based on the frequency within the term
*As you start to get first results, you can browse some core metadata (including creator and depicts) in the down carrot drop menu which become additional facets for interacting with search results (and get displayed near the search bar as check box components).

@hoo thanks!

(in my volunteer capacity): I would think that anyone pinging more than 3, is using the wrong channel for communication -- 5 probably gives enough wiggle room for other collabroations, but is likely to solicit complaints from some of the more active communities (thinking English).

Yep, that appears to have worked (ended up doing it in Incognito, to keep from signing out of other stuff).

@Abit You may want to share the Sheet you created a few years back!

@Harej helped set this up for citation hunt, he might have some suggestions.

@GoranSMilovanovic Thanks! Its mostly for folks who have lower resolution screen displays or older devices that aren't widescreen. The dimensions that I shared there, are about the dimension of my old standard monitor.
yep, sorry don't know how that copy error happened in the url.

An additional story: In an institutional website, a cataloger wants to create a metadata tag, that includes both a plain text and a URI based reference for what they are describing -- for fields created by the institutional website using some metadata standard. As an institutional website developer, I want to provide a suggestion box for that field, so that the cateloger uses our controlled vocabulary (based on Wikidata), instead of having to either a) copy and paste qids into the field or b) do the matching in a seperate ecosystem (say Google Spreadsheets or Open Refine). The output of the tool needs a plain-text label for human readable use of the catelogue/collection software, and the uri in a format appropriate for linked-open data schamas.

Love it, but a few things still causing me problems:
Jul 3 2017
@Ladsgroup and @WMDE-leszek I tried adding a data item in the same structure as the ones provided in the example, but it wasn't acknowledging that I had a valid property.

@Doc_James I am suggesting that we should develop a core infrastructure that adds image change events on commons, so that communities can learn from them in other ways as well (sometimes deletion events, sometimes image addition events, and sometimes). Without this core infrastructure: your proposal only (temporarily) solves part of a larger problem which includes lack of communication between Commons contributors and other Wikimedia contributors.
@Doc_James One of the problems right now, is that you can notify the pages that a file is on, or the Wikimedia project: but if someone added the file to a page (clearly the most invested person on that wiki), we have no way of notifying that person that that file is effected (except if they are very closely watching the talk page of articles they have contributed to). There have been a number of files that I have added to pages, that I don't watch (because my watchlist is massive), but I would appreciate knowing if the file gets removed, or is up for deletion.

This reads like it could be built if we had a full set of information per: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Categories/Commons#.22MediaChanges.22_feed_to_track_pages_where_images_are_used which is described at T137758

@CKoerner_WMF There are some more suggestions at https://twitter.com/glamwiki/status/870391645786820608

Hey @CKoerner_WMF I shared the original conversation on GLAMWiki GLobal! I can do a little bit of probing though to figure out if there is more going on.

@Jc3s5h I was validating that the template can take a year by itself, without the month/day included.
This came up via: The conversation highlighted in this diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help_talk:Citation_Style_1&diff=779916968&oldid=779916510 .

Hey @Lydia_Pintscher where did the test end up?
May 4 2017
This is likely solvable with GLAMPipe as the backend: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Susannaanas/GLAMpipe in light of SDC General

+1 on that: however, in some ways, there also needs to be a path to editing the home repository from the each Wiki, whether or not it's explicitely labeled as moving to that other project.
@Lydia_Pintscher This is really exciting!
