nichtich added a comment to T113234: Update passport-mediawiki module URLs and documentation.

Changing accessTokenURL will not work with Wikimedia wikis, for instance the default baseURL is https://meta.wikimedia.org/ so w/index.php must be appended. Changing userAuthorizationURL neither will work as mentioned at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth/For_Developers#cite_note-4 because of bug https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T74186.

Creating RDF/XML by hand is bad practice anyway, no matter in which programming language. The current script could be modified to use Purtle like other Wikimedia software, this would also solve the bug.

nichtich added a comment to T178978: Include information about Wikidata dumps in Wikidata query service.

Yes, being able to query the information from dcatap would increase its usability a lot because WDQS is integrated in the Wikidata tool ecosystem. Having to download, parse, and evaluate the RDF file on your own requires RDF technology. There is no statement that WDQS content and described dumps are from the same date so I don't understand the problem. I think dcatap could be added and updated as named graph. Maybe this is related to Wikistats, I would also welcome a dedicated SPARQL endpoint with information about dumps and statistics - this endpoint could be included into WDQS via federated queries but I don't want to open a can of worms if there is a simple solution.

Have a look at https://www.npmjs.com/package/wikidata-taxonomy for some previous work about creation of hierarchies from Wikidata. The tool includes some additional information such as number of instances and number of sitelinks and additional parents. A tree visualization could also show arbitrary additional information so it would be like the table visualization but with a special first row with the hierarchy. One must also make sure to handle multihierarchies.

For shared writing of blog posts I recommed http://hackmd.io/ - it's similar to etherpad but Markdown syntax. You should be able to copy the resulting HTML into your blogging software and it can be converted to MediaWiki syntax with pandoc. Anyway collaborative real-time writing is helpful, I'm also fine with Google Docs or Etherpad. We could share links to the editable documents here, can't we?

nichtich added a comment to T152907: Release a new version of pywikibot.

Sure the sources work but I want to release a tool based on pywikibot. My current requirements.txt contains pywikibot but the latest version is 2.0rc5 without SPARQL features. I don't mind which version number but new features must be releases to be usable. Having unreleased features in a developer branch makes sense but these features are deployed at PAWS and documented (?). Without releases it is hard to tell whether and how some feature are available or not.

I also stumbled upon this weird behaviour. The Accept-language HTTP header is also ignored but response language for some fields comes from a cookie (?!). Luckily parameter uselang can be used to control the response language but this should definitely be included in API documentation.
