Mahir256 added a comment to T356997: Wikidata as a universal lexical resource.

'universal' != 'English' or 'English-centric' (which the UVI and its components are); I cannot support giving this as a task (even if it is modified to use the suggested template) without expanding its scope to multiple languages further removed from English (by which I mean those that are either 1) not Indo-European or 2) not primarily spoken on the European continent).

Mahir256 added a comment to T356995: Improve the coverage of Portuguese Lexical data into Wikidata.

Regardless of whether this proposal is modified to use the suggested template, I think this is better as a simple on-wiki bot request rather than as a full-fledged summer project.

Turkish already exists as Z1237 and Azerbaijani as Z1597. Languages are some of the "special kinds of objects" thus locked down.

Mahir256 added a comment to T309317: Investigate why the function editor, object editor, function viewer, and object viewer are all broken on https://wikifunctions.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Z10005.

(Perhaps being tired of my complaints raised in another forum led to the dearth of detail in the initial task description, but...)

  • What is broken?

When I click "edit source" on that page, and I type "Z10004" into the dropdown next to "value" for the field whose label is "catena" and save, the field's type changes from "Reference^(String)" to "Reference^(Reference)", rather than to "Reference^(Catena)" as I would expect.

  • Is there any indication it is specific to Beta cluster? (i.e. does the same workflow work as expected in a dev environment?)

The type creation interface on notwikilambda.toolforge.org is broken, since on adding fields to a type in the CreateZObject page there I am not prompted to name these fields nor shown the ID (Z12345K2 etc.) that they would have, so I have no clue as to this point.

Is this better merged into T298633 as a general graphical-programming-language support task?

Mahir256 added a comment to T285610: Pages corresponding to tables of contents' second links are not provided the first link as the "prev" parameter for headers generated with <pages>.

I am a bit scared of linking to the first page if the current page is not in the toc.

I must agree with Xover's comment regarding the provision of a next link on a main page. While attempting to provide such a link using JavaScript and the mw.Api may be possible, I do not think that it is necessarily the most efficient use of resources when loading a Wikisource page, given that each time a page is loaded the table of contents portion of an index needs to be rendered again (meaning after ProofreadPage does so once) to determine which link to add. (The alternative would be to add the next link manually to the page, which does not fully comport with the underlying motivation behind this task.)

Mahir256 added a comment to T285610: Pages corresponding to tables of contents' second links are not provided the first link as the "prev" parameter for headers generated with <pages>.

Now that we are on wmf.9, I see that for this index, with "data": "toc" set for the table of contents ("Remarks"), and without using the trick mentioned in T285610#7267935 on that index, the second chapter still does not link to the first chapter or vice versa. Is there something we need to refresh on our end for the effects of this patch to be visible?

Mahir256 added a comment to T295560: Share complex SPARQL queries in Wikidata Query Service via short URL [investigation] .

We have an as-yet unused "Query:" namespace ; perhaps it could be opened for storing queries longer than 2000 characters? (A redirection mechanism such that a visit to any page in that namespace takes you to query.wikidata.org might be useful, and there ought to be a system, similar to what is done with CSS pages, that ensures that a query is syntactically correct before it can be saved to that namespace.)

If we're rejecting tlh as a monolingual text code (and not as a lexeme language code), would someone like to do the honors and purge the Lexeme: namespace of Klingon lexemes?

Mahir256 closed T295259: Occupations of Q5603 does not all show in query result as Invalid.

Per https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Indexing/RDF_Dump_Format#Truthy_statements, "Truthy statement predicates have prefix wdt: with the property name (e.g. wdt:P2)" and "[I]f there is a preferred statement for property P2, then only preferred statements for P2 will be considered truthy. Otherwise, all normal-rank statements for P2 are considered truthy." As your screenshot indicates, "visual artist" is a preferred occupation statement (the little shaded up arrow on the left) and the other occupations are normal-rank statements (the little shaded dot between the two blank arrows).

This message (especially the latter part) is enough of a reason to undo the changes made to the ticket since Nikki's comments were added, irrespective of what opinions I may hold of any of it (which should not be assumed as was done in the diff that stains this task). The sea lion I am removing from this ticket is also free to impugn Lucas's or Lydia's credibility or emotional strength as well.

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE that should have been. I removed Mahir256 as they seem to be doing nonsensical edits to subscribers.

The presence of the user I am removing—not just here, but in any other discussion forum really—has made @Nikki (and others, both actually and potentially) sufficiently uncomfortable directly opining here and in those other fora that others like myself relay their opinions here for them. Unless that user wishes to impugn the credibility or emotional strength of Nikki and those other individuals, I contend that my actions in this regard are entirely sensical.

Why? In absence of the proposed mul language code, having the same label duplicated in all languages that use it is the expected behaviour.
