Mahir256 updated subscribers of T421642: Pywikibot reports maxlag retry error.

@Ladsgroup both Epìdosis and I were using QuickStatements (he version 3.0 and I version 2.0); your complaint about tools not respecting maxlag should be directed at @Arcstur in the former case and @Magnus in the latter case.

Mahir256 added a comment to T220985: Complete support of Lexemes in QuickStatements.

I don't think it's true yet that an entire lexeme can be created in one go if form and sense IDs have to be calculated when preparing a QuickStatements batch. "Item for this sense" statements, as the property name suggests, go on senses; they do not go on lexemes as the command examples given show. There are lots of other statements that can go on senses (images, semantic genders, external IDs) and forms (pronunciation, morphological context, external IDs) as well, and what I fear will happen with the current setup is that someone decides to write up a batch thinking, naturally, that LAST refers to the last entity (whether lexeme, form, or sense) created, or that they will simply omit all statements on forms/senses due to an unwillingness to calculate form/sense IDs.

Mahir256 added a comment to T420020: Setting up the process to create Moroccan Arabic lexemes on Wikidata.

Just hopping in to say that if you want to create lexemes with senses at the same time as forms (and thus reduce the number of edits in your creations) the twofivesixlex Python library exists for that: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/toolforge-repos/twofivesixlex/ ("overview.md"'s section on "Creating lexemes" should help)

Mahir256 added a comment to T212843: [EPIC] Access to Wikidata's lexicographical data from Wiktionaries and other WMF sites.

There is now (and has been for some time) a module on the Bengali Wiktionary that produces a (sub)entry on a Wiktionary page based on the content of a lexeme: current pages where this module has been used are listed at https://bn.wiktionary.org/wiki/বিষয়শ্রেণী:উইকিউপাত্ত_আভিধানিক_উপাত্ত_থেকে_আমদানিকৃত

This problem persists with lexemes as well; https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L1531124 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L9913 still appeared in query results for a long time. (I had to undelete and redelete them in order to get the deletions to register, but I don't think this workaround is particularly scalable.)

Mahir256 added a comment to T233204: Mixup of unicode characters in Query Service.

In addition to the above issues, any text that uses the U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER is returned by the Query Service with that character removed, resulting in the lemmata and form representations of Persian compounds (such as for the lexeme "آفتاب‌گیر"—notice the character sequence "ب‌گ" in the middle of the word) being returned as single units ("آفتابگیر"—notice how the "ب" and "گ" in the middle are joined) where this was not the intended display. Because the positions of the ZWNJs are not predictable, obtaining the correct textual representation requires retrieving the lexeme from Wikidata separately and pulling it from there, which is inefficient.

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.

I will fully accept the first two bullet points you mentioned, and to some extent the third bullet point, but believe the fourth is somewhat limited and must take issue with the fifth.

As the person behind Ninai and Udiron, I must agree with Cory :-) . Besides, there are some facilities I believe are needed for traversing the item and lexeme RDF graph, which do not yet exist, that will make multilingual text generation more feasible in the long run.

As this is not the first task involving the use of @Pathoschild's script, you may wish to complain to that user that people find those scripts useful enough to consider them a default staple for others.

@Mahir256: That makes no sense at all.

Let me rephrase, then: please tell that user "Would you mind re-hosting all of your scripts on Meta, rather than on wmflabs, and adjust your documentation to follow suit, given that people find those scripts so extremely useful that they enable them for everyone, even with the apparently mistaken assumption that wmflabs is a production server?"
