Wikidata weekly summary #429

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • Entity Explosion: a new multilingual Chrome browser extension. "Taking the power of Wikidata with me wherever I go across the web!". Uses API calls to the Wikidata Query Service to match the URL you are browsing on to a Wikidata item, and then displays data and links to other sites about the same entity. (Video)
  • Development
    • Fixed a bug where a length limit for strings seems to have reverted itself back from 1500 to its default 400 (phabricator:T259440)
    • Fixed a bug that Wikibase is not always adding &redirect=no in situations when MediaWiki usually does (phabricator:T255387)
    • Wrapping up the initial work on the design system so it is ready for use in the first new feature (Query Builder)
    • Fixed the serialization of statements on Forms and Senses not containing the datatype (phabricator:T249206)
    • Wrapping up work on the first version of Federated Properties so that other Wikibase installations can use Wikidata's Properties instead of having to maintain their own
    • Worked on ensuring the data from the linked data interface at Special:EntityData is always up to date after an edit has been made (phabricator:T128486)
    • Enabling clients to use Lua to request labels, descriptions and aliases in some (often minority) languages even when they are not content languages (phabricator:T259340, phabricator:T260118)

Tech News: 2020-34

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • If you revert an edit using the undo link your edit is marked with an undo tag. This will now only happen if you don't change anything in the edit window before publishing the undo. This is to keep users from marking edits as undos when they actually do something else. [1]
  • The new OOUI version will not work with Internet Explorer 8. This means the wikis will look strange and not work well in Internet Explorer 8. This was reported in Tech/News/2020/17. This is because keeping the wikis working with very old browsers creates other problems. [2]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 18 August. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 19 August. It will be on all wikis from 20 August (calendar).

Future changes

  • All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on September 1. This is planned between 13:30 and 15:30 UTC. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis next week. This is a reminder. You can help by translating the announcement message. [3][4]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Changes later this week

  • Normally pages can be moved to a title that has no existing page yet or to a page that has only one revision, which is a redirect to the page to be moved. A new user right allows editors to move pages over one-revision pages that redirect to anywhere. [7]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 8 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 9 September. It will be on all wikis from 10 September (calendar).
  • Advanced item All MediaWiki API modules will now use watchlist instead of watch. This was inconsistent before. [8]

Future changes

  • The Wikipedia Android app team might work on patrolling tools in the future. You can let them know what tools would be useful for you or for less experienced patrollers. See the page on mediawiki.org.
  • OTRS will be updated to a new version. This will probably take around two days. OTRS agents will not have access to the system during these days. Emails that come in during the update will be delivered when the update is done. The plan is to start around 08:00 UTC on 14 September. This could change. [9]
  • The Wikipedia Android app will send push notifications if users want them. This could help you see for example when someone wrote on your talk page or your edit was reverted. This will need Google Play Services to work. It will also be possible to get the app without Google Play Services but push notifications will not work. Google Play Services is also used to make the app work for Android 4.4 users. [10][11]
  • Advanced item Wikimedia code review could move to GitLab. It would be hosted on Wikimedia servers. You can take part in the consultation.
  • Advanced item Dropdown menus in the Vector skin use a .menu class. This will not work in the future. Scripts can use nav ul instead. .vectorTabs and .vectorMenu will also not work. Some scripts need to be updated. You can read more in Phabricator.

    • Finishing a draft documentation for a REST API to get it ready for a feedback round before implementation.

Changes later this week

  • The number of times you can do something in a period of time on wiki is limited. This could be the number of edits per minute or the number of users you email in a day. Some users are not affected by all limits because of their user rights. They could soon see the limit even if it does not affect them. [16]
  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 22 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 23 September. It will be on all wikis from 24 September (calendar).

Blocked

Thanks for the ping, MelbourneStar. I see Sanskari has recently made no less than five edits[17][18][19][20][21] which violate their topic ban. I'll excuse this and this, but the others remain. Sanskari, you seem to be ignoring your topic ban. You have been blocked for two weeks for these violations. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bishonen | tålk 11:01, 24 September 2020 (UTC).

Topic ban violation

This [[22]] would be a violation of you topic ban if it is still in force.Slatersteven (talk) 08:57, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

@Slatersteven: Would like to know the reason behind the topic ban? The user who issued topic ban notice has been suspended from Wikipedia please check before leaving the comments. — Sanskari Hangout 09:05, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
Actually, Bishonen issued your topic ban in March 2020 (and it is still active) – Bishonen has most certainly not been suspended. —MelbourneStar☆talk 09:09, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
Yes; you should avoid further such edits. If you wish to appeal the ban, you may do so. 331dot (talk) 09:11, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
And avoid saying things that are not true.Slatersteven (talk) 09:13, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

IN fact I note that all of your edits since march (all in September) have been in Indian related topics.Slatersteven (talk) 09:30, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

I feel at this point WP:NOTDUMB might be worth a read, its not a policy but might act to give you some guidance into what to avoid.Slatersteven (talk) 10:29, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

There's a note at the top of this page "This editor has left Wikipedia permanently" placed there immediately after the topic ban. Apparently that wasn't the case. ~Anachronist (talk) 16:24, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #435

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • The Wikidata development team is seeking to evaluate and improve the process of collecting and reacting to bug reports and feature requests. You can give feedback about your experience using this anonymous form until September 30th or add feedback publically to Wikidata talk:Contact the development team/Process review 2020.
    • Nominate your favorite tools for the Coolest Tool Award 2020 before October 14th.
    • Wikidata Walkabout is a new site that lets you browse and drill down through different "classes" of data on Wikidata: wikidatawalkabout.org
    • Como is a new Android app, that uses Wikidata lexemes and senses to create a word-guessing game. It let's players create new senses and tests them on other players to finally save them in Wikidata. The app is developed as part of a BA thesis, to determine if this concept is useful to create more lexicographical data, and testers would be very welcome.
  • Development
    • A long-standing bug has been fixed (T217144) where Items and Lexemes created via OAuth would not be added to the user’s watchlist even if the user had the Add pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist setting enabled. (The Add pages and files I edit to my watchlist setting was probably likewise ineffective, but this was not tested specifically.) Affected tools include QuickStatements, Mix'n'Match, and Wikidata Lexeme Forms; users of these and other tools may see more pages being added to their watchlists now. (This only applies to new edits and page creations; previously created or edited pages will not be automatically added to the watchlist retroactively.)
    • Working on the basic building blocks of the Query Builder towards making it possible to create the first very simple query with it
    • Talking to people about comparing Wikidata's data against other databases and flagging mismatches

Tech News: 2020-40

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

  • Admins can now see links to diffs of deleted revisions on Special:AbuseLog. This uses the interface of Special:Undelete. [23]
  • Editors are automatically added to some user groups. For example editors are added to autoconfirmed users when they have edited enough times and long enough. Abuse filters can hinder users from automatically getting user rights for a period of time. They can also remove rights user have. Wikis can now ask to change how long this period of time is for their wiki in Phabricator. It is currently five days. [24]

Problems

  • Last year some abuse filters stopped working because of a new change. If they tried to use variables that were unavailable for that action they would fail. This has now been fixed. [25]

Changes later this week

  • Recurrent item The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 29 September. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 30 September. It will be on all wikis from 1 October (calendar).

Future changes

  • You can't see the language links to other language versions from the talk page or history page. They are also not shown when you edit an article. This could change. It is not decided if for example the history page should link to another history page or to the article. You can take part in the discussion in Phabricator.
  • The link colours could change. This is to make the difference between links and other text more clear. You can read more in Phabricator.
  • In your preferences you can choose to get different notifications on the web or by email. You will see Apps as one of the alternatives later this week. This is because the Android and iOS Wikipedia apps will use push notifications for those who want them. You can see the preferences on the test wiki. The goal is to have push notifications on Android in October and on iOS in early 2021. [26]
  • You can soon put pages on your watchlist for a limited time. This could be useful if you want to watch something for a shorter time but don't want it on your watchlist forever. It now works on mediawiki.org and will come to more wikis later. You can read more and see when it will come to other wikis.
  • You can see what Wikimedians think are the best new technical tools this year. You can also nominate them.

Contentious topics alert

Information icon You have recently made edits related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. This is a standard message to inform you that India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:13, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Tagging an article with WP:POV will violate Wikipedia's guidelines, shall it? — Sanskari Hangout 18:21, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

As a matter of fact, every edit you have made this year violates Wikipedia's guidelines. You were topic-banned from Indian topics three years ago, and then blocked for violating that ban. Have you forgotten? @Bishonen: I don't believe this was ever rescinded, was it? Previous discussion of TBAN violations. Vanamonde (Talk) 18:44, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the links, Vanamonde. Never rescinded as far as I know. I see from Sanskari's contributions history that they stopped editing for six months after I placed the topic ban; then they placed a Retired template and left for another two and a half years, up until May 2023, at which time they immediately started to edit Indian subjects (exclusively!). These long hiatuses are presumably the reason everybody had stopped watching for, or had indeed forgotten about, the T-ban. I can't find anything about the ban being rescinded, or even being appealed. What about it, Sanskari? As a courtesy after all this time, I will give you a chance to explain yourself below. Have you ever appealed the ban? This post of yours, from September 2020, suggests that you never took the ban seriously, offering a reason plucked from thin air (that I had supposedly been suspended from Wikipedia). Please don't try that kind of thing now; it won't do any good. Bishonen | tålk 23:07, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
@Bishonen: He is already falsely accusing people of WP:COI without any evidence.[27] This is exactly why he was topic banned in the first place.[28] I think placing indef block would be the right option now. Capitals00 (talk) 12:23, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Thanks, Capitals00. In my topic ban from March 2020, I said to Sanskari that "You don't seem to know what a 'conflict of interest' is". I see that you still don't, Sanskari, with your accusations against Vanamonde. I will indeed block you, for persistent violations of your topic ban plus continued disruption of the very kind you were topic banned for. But if you have some explanations of these things to offer, I will wait to hear from you for 24 hours from now, before I block. I realize that you may be absent from Wikipedia for longer than that, but if you write a comment to me (pinging me) after you've been blocked, I will also give it sympathetic attention. Bishonen | tålk 14:10, 27 December 2023 (UTC).

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely for persistent violations of your topic ban from Indian subjects. Please see the section Contentious topics alert above for notifications and explanations. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below this block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Bishonen | tålk 15:48, 28 December 2023 (UTC).

The preceding citation furnished by Bishonen regarding the imposition of a topic ban pertaining to Indian subjects is accurate and presently within the public domain. Editing activities undertaken by me in the past, specifically concerning topics related to Indian subjects, have since garnered widespread acceptance across numerous articles. It is imperative to acknowledge that the policies and terms governing Wikipedia are universally applicable, ensuring parity for all contributors. In instances where one's actions are subject to scrutiny, a forthright response is expected, discouraging the interpretation of such inquiries as personal attacks.
The imposition of an account block necessitates a compelling rationale, and the recurrence of the same administrator's involvement in prior incidents, coupled with their role in the present circumstances leading to the imposition of said block, engenders legitimate questions. — Sanskari Hangout 17:15, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Viola calcicola

I noticed that you added a lot of details to the article Viola calcicola. The source you cited doesn't actually say all those things, so could you provide the sources you used? Abductive (reasoning) 22:49, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

@Abductive: Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I appreciate your diligence in scrutinizing the information provided in the Viola calcicola article. I apologize for any discrepancies in the content.
Here are the specific sources I used to gather information for the article:
  1. [The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)]
  2. [Google Scholar]
I understand the importance of accurate and verifiable information in Wikipedia articles. Please feel free to review these sources, and if there are specific points that need correction or clarification, I am more than willing to address them. — Sanskari Hangout 17:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Unblock request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Sanskari (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have reflected on the reasons for my ban and am committed to adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines in the future. I believe that with your guidance, I can make positive contributions to the community. Thank you for considering my request. — Sanskari Hangout 11:54 am, Today (UTC−5)

Decline reason:

You are topic banned from editing about India. Please describe what constructive edits you would make outside your topic ban. Thanks-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:13, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@Deepfriedokra: The antecedent edits, for which the imposition of a topic ban transpired, suffered from a lack of adequate justification. Furthermore, the contributor in alignment with Bishonen found themselves subject to prohibition on account of their injurious alterations. Additionally, the editorial endeavours undertaken by me, culminating in my permanent proscription by the aforementioned custodian, were meticulously substantiated, bereft of any semblance of disruptive emendations or vandalistic proclivities.
A substantial oeuvre of contributions has been cultivated by me in epochs past, intrinsically tethered to the proscribed subjects, and these have been amply embraced within the collective narrative. While it is doctrinally acknowledged that a physician cannot be coercively enjoined to attend to a patient of a specific provenance, my unwavering pledge is to administer heightened circumspection in the execution of editorial modifications, thereby ensuring the meticulous citation of assertions. In the absence of such fastidiousness, the act of contribution becomes a futile pursuit. — Sanskari Hangout 17:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you, @Vanamonde93:, @Capitals00:, and @Bishonen: for delving into the depths to examine the edits made. I will request a list of all the edits that violated Wikipedia's policies so that I can respond to each one. As far as the Delhi Riots article is concerned, the edits cannot be called disruptive, as the changes made at that time are now a part of the article. The main accusation has been removed from both the article and the talk pages in question, and now everything is in the public domain. — Sanskari Hangout 17:50, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
Sanskari, you don't seem to understand the meaning of a topic ban. You cannot edit or discuss any topic to do with India because you're topic banned from doing so. Asking for a list of edits so that you can respond is not going to happen. Discussing Delhi Riots on your talk page is also a violation of your topic ban. If you continue to display this lack of understanding, your access to this talk page is going to be removed. RegentsPark (comment) 18:01, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
@RegentsPark:, thank you for being gentle and humble in explaining the topic ban. I appreciate your suggestion. Well, now I will refrain from editing topics related to India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. — Sanskari Hangout 18:04, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
@Bishonen: OK to unblock? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:30, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Very well, Deep, even though I have my doubts. Sanskari, if you are unblocked, please note that the topic ban from Indian subjects, broadly construed, will still apply to you. (You seem to think that you're banned from Pakistan and Afghanistan articles as well, but that is not the case. Just Indian. You may want to read my topic ban notice again, to see what it actually says.) The ban is not the same thing as the block. You have never appealed the ban. Should you want to appeal it, this is how to do it. If you don't appeal it, and again violate it, you will get a lengthy block again. I would like you to affirmatively state that you understand this. (I'd appreciate it if you'd use your own words and ordinary English, not that very highfalutin AI bot you're using.) If you do understand it, I agree to an unblock at this time. Bishonen | tålk 02:54, 19 January 2024 (UTC).
I would like to request that you reconsider your initial decision regarding the ban on the India-Pakistan subject, or at the very least, unblock me. This would allow me to file an appeal before the arbitration enforcement. Additionally, I commit to not making any edits on Wikipedia except on the appeal and talk pages. — Sanskari Hangout 16:21, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Sanskari (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I will refrain from engaging with the topics I am banned from and will focus on articles unrelated to India, Pakistan, or Afghanistan. — Sanskari Hangout 18:08, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You have given us examples of things that you will not edit about. But you haven't given us an area where you affirmatively plan to make edits, despite an admin requesting you do so and multiple admins noting this in the section below. As such, I am declining this; if you want to be unblocked, you need to tell us what edits you plan to make, not merely what edits you plan to not make. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 20:59, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
