The OSM Sophox service, which is based on WDQS, has or had a SERVICE wikibase:tabular which appears to have providing this capability,

  • AND a page on the client that is a redirect
  • WHEN adding the page as a sitelink to the Item
  • AND adding a redirect badge in the same edit
  • THEN the sitelink and associated badge are stored (even if the redirect target is already used in another Item)

Thanks for that clarification, Lucas, that's useful. So yes, I can use the "search" API instead: https://w.wiki/5BsM and successfully retrieve far more entries (??? albeit very slowly -- query took almost 100 seconds, just for 500 returns); but then I cannot restrict the search to just the labels of items. (I can restrict the search to titles of pages -- but for wikidata the titles appear to be Q-numbers, so that doesn't help). So I still can't get the items I need.

That's a bit of a problem, given what the badges are for...

I tried to add an "intentional sitelink to redirect" badge on the English sitelink for asteroid 6765 Fibonacci, but got "Could not save due to an error. The save has failed."

Jheald added a comment to T246238: Investigate common qualifiers for “unknown value” statement main snaks.

regarding editors : it looks like some works have multiple editors, none of which have Wikidata items. These ought to be given in separate statements distinguished by "series ordinal".
But it may be that because the statements both have the same 'main value' (or, rather, they both have somevalue for the main value), the software used to add the statements may have coalesced them together. QuickStatements tends to do this, I think.

  • "named as" = name given to the subject of the statement
  • "stated as" = how the object of the statement was stated

Jheald added a comment to T244341: Stop using blank nodes for encoding SomeValue and OWL constraints in WDQS.

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE The qualifier "stated as" (p1932) is currently used on 6.6 million statements. I couldn't get a query to complete to count how many of those statements have an object that's a blank node. My guess might be on the order of about 10,000 but that's just a number pulled out of the air, not based on anything. Could be a *lot* more, if this mechanism has been used eg for scientific papers with unmatched editors, publishers, etc.

Example of a Listeria tracking page, counting how many blank nodes are being used this way for the properties used on a particular set of items (in this case: a particular set of books, where the publisher (known) may not yet have an item, or at least not yet a matched item): https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_BL19C/titles_stmts

Please don't think or refer to the blank nodes as just "unknown values".

Thanks Matthias, but that doesn't seem to help with the use-cases above, if a claim is just sitting there as a claim, and not being used by any Lua template (as most "depicts" claims probably wouldn't be?)

Jheald added a comment to T240093: On Commons create optional "skin" for displaying structured data which mimics Wikidata look.

Lead ticket for Vue migration for Wikidata would appear to be T157014 . After sustained activity in 2017, followed by a short spike in June-July 2018, it's not clear how much further progress has been made, or is currently anticipated on this. There is a mention that the Lexemes roll-out in 2018 included some Vue templates and widgets with PHP server-side rendering, which was going to be reviewed.

Jheald added a comment to T239172: Enable support for the none (novalue) and unknown (somevalue) "special value" types in SDC UI.

Given the endless, and seemingly ongoing, difficulties the decision to fork the wikibase UI is leading to, and seems to be continuing to produce -- most types of statement still not available, somevalue not available, deprecation not available, references not available -- at what point does it make more sense to withdraw the forked UI as a costly experiment that hasn't worked, and is causing more trouble than it is worth?

@Pintoch That's great. I'll try and get matching these this weekend. Is there any chance of the full dataset, beyond the first 1000? We currently have 1660 items for bodies of water in the UK (plus more that possibly don't have P31s), so it would be nice to be able to try to match them all. But thanks again for this!

Jheald added a comment to T238751: Only generate maxlag from pooled query service servers..

If maxlag is to be based on the maximum lag of the pooled servers, will there be active measures to monitor these, and take any really badly lagged server (ie significantly worse lagged than any of the others) out of the pool, and out of the maxlag calculation, to give it a chance to recover ?

I would love it if somebody would take this on. I think it's a really worthwhile resource to link to, and a really significant topic to improve our data for.

Jheald added a comment to T238229: WDQS is having high update lag for the last week.

One thing that seems odd (to an outsider like me who knows very little about the system) is that some servers seem to be performing so much worse than others.

Jheald updated subscribers of T230314: Show constraint violations on SDC statements.

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE How dependent is the wikibase constraint system on SPARQL ?
Maarten was just suggesting that a functioning SPARQL service is required for any of the constraint checking to operate (and so this ticket would be completely blocked until CDQS is reliably up and running)
Is that correct? Or are any of the simplest of the constraint checks (eg format constraints, one-of constraints, etc) available without SPARQL ?
