Search clickthrough

Is the clickthrough relative to the searches which had some results? If so, the searches which resulted in a clicked result went from 75 % to 80 % (0.91*0.82 → 0.86*0.93). Not an extraordinary result but not bad either. --Nemo 09:22, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Actor bios, and studio albums

Weird choice, those are the kind of articles which we have the least interest in expanding and the most chances of getting garbage on. --Nemo 09:28, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Missing Wikidata items descriptions

Tracked in Phabricator:
Task T64695

I don't think that's about outreach. The system of manual descriptions on Wikidata is IMHO idiotic. Descriptions are mostly added by bots, which is just a workaround for the missing automatical production, which would be possible if only we were able to i18n the sentences in questions, which is something reasonator attempts in some languages but has not figured out yet. --Nemo 10:17, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
