Wikidata weekly summary #52[edit]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • The first year is over. Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping to build Wikidata and making it more than we could possibly have hoped for already. <3
    • Put a lot of work into improved support for Internet Explorer 8
    • Worked on improving recent changes code in client
    • Finished valueview refactoring. Created new extension “ValueView”
    • Implemented string formatter
  • Discussions/Press
  • Events
    • upcoming: GLAM-Wiki 2013
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Deployment of phase 2 on English Wikipedia is currently planned for April 8. The remaining Wikipedias are scheduled for April 10. As usual this might change if we run into problems along the way.
    • There is now a page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.
    • There’s now a badge you can add to Wikipedia articles to indicate there is data about it on Wikidata
    • We hit Q10000000
    • A Wikidata item in the wild ;-)
  • Did you know?
  • Open Tasks for You

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Wikidata weekly summary #53[edit]

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
    • Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)
    • Worked on using Redis for job queue to improve the lag situation even further
    • Created new Wikibase Query extension for phase 3 functionality
    • Autocomments & Autosummaries for SetClaim module
    • Worked on the GeoCoordinate parser
  • Events/Press
    • right now: GLAM-WIKI 2013
  • Discussions
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
    • Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
    • There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
    • If you're a student and interested in coding on Wikidata consider applying for Google Summer of Code.
    • There is a new user right: property creators
    • There is now a page to request deletion of a property
    • We now have Bureaucrats
    • Reasonator was improved and extended (1 2)
  • Open Tasks for You

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Pending release of Notifications[edit]

Hey Netha Hussain :). I'm dropping you a note because you have signed up for the Notifications, or Echo, newsletter.

If all goes according to plan, we should be launching Echo on en-wiki either tomorrow, or next Tuesday - I'll drop a followup tomorrow when we know what's happening. Should the launch succeed, we'll begin the process of triaging bugs and gathering feedback on what features work, what cause problems, and what we should do next; I hope you'll help us out on these fronts by leaving any comments you might have on the talkpage.

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)[edit]

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

  • Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
  • Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
  • If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)

Cheers, Ocaasi t | c 20:25, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know! I am not sure if I would become an active editor in medicine anytime soon, so I think it is best not to apply for the access right now. Cheers! -- Netha (talk) 17:56, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keyboards for Indian languages[edit]

Hi Netha, I just watched your presentation via video. You mentioned the difficulty to edit in Indian languages. As I am doing wikistats, I have always been interested to learn why most editing in India occurs on English pages. I heard several times that part of it is that most people who can afford computers are educated in English, and motivated to enhance their English language skills. You point out that writing in other languages on an English keyboard is difficult. I can imagine! I was wondering will this issue become less important when tablets become more affordable and ubiquitous, which I'm sure will happen in the coming years. India even launched a quite cheap tablet recently I believe. With on screen keyboards people can switch from one language to another easily. Have you experienced editing in a local language on a tablet? Does that already work? I believe most Indian languages are alphabet based, so the sheer size of the character set shouldn't be a problem, like it would be in Chinese or Japanese. Any thoughts on this? Cheers, Erik Zachte (talk) 15:31, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A bilingual keyboard
Hi Erik, Thank you for the message and for watching the video! Yes, it is hard to type Indian languages using English keyboards. The Indic language I speak has 56 letters in its alphabet. Some laptop manufacturers have built bilingual keyboards, but they are not very popular and are available only in widely spoken languages such as Hindi. The higher socio-economic class in India are educated in English since pre-school levels, and can handle English in a professional level. They are therefore more likely to look up the English Wikipedia for information than an Indic language Wikipedia. Assuming that the reader is more likely to contribute to the language Wikipedia she is reading the most, I think Indians are more likely to contribute to English Wikipedia than the regional language Wikipedias.

Mobile phones are ubiquitous in India now, but tablets are yet to be popular. The government of India has launched the 'Akash' tablet for students but they are sold on a limited scale. I don't own a tablet, and I do not know how typing on it will be like - but I am guessing that it would be definitely simpler to type an Indic language on a tablet than typing on a conventional keyboard. I hadn't given much of a thought into this before you raised this question, so I think I should definitely borrow a tablet and find out how different the typing experience is!
On most mobile phones (especially those running on Windows and Symbian), it is not possible by default to view Indic script. The phone shows squares instead of the Indic language character. I worked around the problem by installing Opera Mini browser, and displaying the characters as bitmap images. Similar issue could exist on tablets too, though I am not sure. -- Netha (talk) 11:32, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Netha, that is very insightful. I was not expecting Windows Mobile to be that lacking. Microsoft did well in the font department (on desktops) with MS Unicode, which supports really many scripts (but of course has other disadvantages, being not open). Android is already the standard for low costs tablets. I'll ask Siebrand Mazeland, WMF Product Manager Language Engineering, if he has any experience with this. Cheers, Erik Zachte (talk) 15:36, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Android 4.2 and later versions support most Indian languages. (Samsung models have included the support from Android 2.3.7(?). So Smartphones and Tablets will be better for Indian language users from the point of browsing, but People may have to use conventional keyboards for improved speed of typing. --Arjunaraoc (talk) 04:56, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In the few Windows (Nokia ASHA) phones I worked with, Malayalam (ml) script was not enabled by default. I am not sure if it holds true everywhere. Windows 7 and above supports Indic script. Not sure about Windows XP and earlier versions. I work on a Windows 7 OS laptop, which supports at least 8 Indic scripts. Netha (talk) 16:14, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
We've developed mw:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector to make things easier. Currently we support web fonts and input methods for most larger languages from India. Within the current WMF fiscal year, we also expect to add en:Virtual keyboard support in the extension. No detailed planning for delivery or features is not available yet. Bug reports and ideas in bugzilla: are highly appreciated. Siebrand (talk) 12:52, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • Check if some of the items on this and this list can be merged. But be careful to only merge if they are really about the same topic! Help about merging is at d:Help:Merge.
    • Update, expand and translate d:Wikidata:Introduction to make it easier for newcomers to understand what Wikidata is all about.
    • Hack on one of these.
