Welcome to the 600th Wikidata Weekly Summary!

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary!

Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed

• Item #600 Ichiro Suzuki; Property #600 is Wine AppDB ID; and Lexeme #600 is the Japanese conjugation だから
  • 600 in the multiverse: as a year (another year), a number, a category, a track gauge, a jet, an asteroid, an auto race, a genetic element, a death, a birth, a TV serie, a car, a galaxy, a sport discipline, a radio telescope, an engine, a polygon, a film, a GPU, a photolithography, and many more…
• Timeline of places when they had a population of exactly 600
• Map of things at an altitude of 600 m
• List of items with an external ID equal to 600
  • Wikidata was 600 days old on Wednesday 11 June 2014. It will be 600 weeks old on Monday 9 August 2027
• WikidataCon happened over the weekend
  • Birthday wishes from the community, and a special note from the Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Deutschland below:

« Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.

Wikidata’s world - map of Wikidata Items with a geocoordinate

There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉

Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.

And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.

• Les listes sur les pages de catégorie sont triées sur chaque wiki selon la langue, grâce à une bibliothèque. Pendant un court moment, le 2 novembre, les changements dans les catégories ne seront plus triées correctement pour de nombreuses langues, parce que les développeurs vont mettre à jour cette bibliothèque. Un script sera ensuite utilisé pour corriger les catégories existantes. Cela prendre quelques heures, voire quelques jours selon la taille du wiki. En savoir plus. [6][7]
• À partir du 1^er novembre, le module d’impact (Special:Impact) sera mis à jour par l’équipe Croissance. Le nouveau module affichera aux nouveaux plus de données concernant leur impact sur le wiki. Il a été testé sur plusieurs wikis durant les derniers mois. [8]

Futurs changements

• Un plan pour réactiver l’extension Graph a été proposé. Votre aide est la bienvenue pour relire cette proposition et dire ce que vous en pensez.
• WMF travaille à rendre possible pour les administrateurs et administratrices de modifier directement la configuration de MediaWiki, de manière similaire au précédent travail sur Special:EditGrowthConfig. Une RfC technique est ouverte jusqu’au 8 novembre, vous pouvez y donner votre avis.

• Development
  • Wikibase REST API: We continued working on the new endpoints for POST /entities/items/{item_id}/aliases/{language_code} (phab:T335842) and DELETE /entities/items/{item_id}/descriptions/{lang_code} (phab:T342986)
  • EntitySchemas: We are continuing the work on the new data type for linking to EntitySchemas, working on overcoming architectural issues.
  • Language codes: We continued work towards allowing many more languages by default for Wikibase Lexeme and monolingual text statements. This will remove the need for a lot of requests for new language codes to be added. (phab:T341409)
