What Tambe said. :-) Whatever you write doesn't have to be Wikidata specific, but it helps if there's some sort of a connection to the project.

@MSGJ , @Mike_Peel can i hardcode the terms , which i need to search or i have to find them using code. For example, if i want to get Qid for 'human', can i just put it in search_entities or i need to go to wikidata page and parse that to get the title human?

I thought we had to go to each article and search for all wikidata properties that could be added to the wikidata article. Then we would look for the values of those properties from the wikipedia article.

Hello @Anubhuti! As far as I understand, we need to go through all the articles in the chosen category and find the property associated with that particular category only instead of looking for all the possible Wikidata properties.
For example: Let's say you chose the 90minut template with ID not in Wikidata category. On the top, you will notice the following statement:

This category is for Wikipedia articles using the {{90minut}} template with an ID not in Wikidata property 90minut player ID (P3605).

So you need to find the information associated with the "{{90minut}}" (or something similar, depending on the category) in each article and assign it a property ID of P3605 while adding it to Wikidata.

Hope this helps :)

@Mike_Peel than what did you mean by hardcoding ('what is this an instance of?') and than finding the answer from the article.

Hi. I’m sending this to all applicants of the 'Synchronising Wikidata and Wikipedias using pywikibot’ Outreachy project (T276329). Thanks for all your contributions so far! You can continue sending contributions until the Outreachy deadline. If you haven’t already, please submit your contributions to Outreachy, and you might want to start writing your application if you haven’t already (the deadline is next week!) You can do so here: https://www.outreachy.org/outreachy-may-2021-internship-round/communities/wikimedia/synchronising-wikidata-and-wikipedias-using-pywiki/contributions/ . Also, the project has had a lot of interest, and there is only one place available, so I strongly encourage you to also submit contributions and applications to other Outreachy projects as well to increase your chances of doing an Outreachy internship! (Again, I’m saying this to all applicants.) Thanks.

Hello!
I had a doubt regarding the bot approval process for importing data. Does our system need to be active throughout the time we wait for the bot to approve the import?

I just managed to accidentally reproduce this. I was using the interwiki tool on Commons to create a new Wikidata item, and after entering the enwp page name I accidentally pressed the return key twice - and got two items (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q106571400 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q106571401 - although I'll delete the second in a minute).

That's weird - you shouldn't need to access test.wikipedia.org... Perhaps open that as a separate ticket, and I can tag the relevant people to see if they can find the problem?

Hello @Aminehassou ! What I think that we have to do is that, we search for 'specific information' (especially those that we searched for in Task 1) in the Wikipedia article. And since we know what kind of information we searched for, we can assign the corresponding property ID which is appropriate for it.

Hey, thanks for the response, so in other words, we hardcode the value in since we have already found it during task 1?

No problem. And yes, that's pretty much what we have to do.

@Mike_Peel, For Bonus: Explore how to identify the correct item when multiple terms are returned, can we approach the problem with the idea that for every QID returned through the searching title, we refine the correct one by parsing each item for a specific property? For instance, if my title is "Harry Potter". Now that returns Harry Potter movie, book, and character. But only the book will have the property "Language of the work", or "author", or "publication date"?

Since there have been so many applicants, and only one place is available, if you're interested then I would strongly recommend also applying for T276270 - which is also Python and Wikidata related and also has one place available!

OK, I've pulled them from my bot now, with this commit: https://bitbucket.org/mikepeel/wikicode/commits/889116f38a6240a5a8d2fede4017e94048aab985 . This affects removing bad P373 values (for which I am now reliant on the on-wiki database reports), and inverse values between P1753/P1754 and P301/P910. For P910/P301 I have a problem that the alternative query times out, but I'm also still checking through on-wiki database reports anyway. I estimate I was doing around 5x30=150 out of those 370 queries per month that the task description mentions.

This is for an Outreachy project, so is a bit urgent to fix please, but I'm not sure what the answer is.

Hmm, I'm not sure then. Possibly it's related to T120222 . Could you start a new task for this via https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/ - and include the full set of steps and the OS versions you're using, please?

I think you need to be in 'core' to run that command, since that is where 'pwb.py' is located. I think you can then move the user script to a different directory afterwards and still be able to 'import pywikibot' though.

It's generally better to write code that is stand-alone and others can run, so in this case it's worth including '('en', 'wikidata')' in the main script, even if it's not strictly needed for you to run it. You shouldn't normally share your user config file.

@srishakatux Just to check, if there are multiple good candidates at the end of the contribution period, is it possible to accept multiple students, or is it only possible to accept one student? I'm not sure what the rules here are, and it's good to set out expectations at the start of the project.

There was quite a lot of interest in the project today (I think 15 people?!), so I've set up the guidance for the first two tasks, and hopefully have replied to everyone! Will add more tasks shortly.

Not sure if you saw the announcement for the new WDQS Streaming Updater a couple of weeks ago, but it might be relevant to you that it no longer supports fetching constraint violations (I was informed you are among people who use this importing a lot). You may want to update your modules/bots in the near term.
