Global user page migration

Hello Lucas Werkmeister. I deleted your local user pages on all wikis as you requested via Synchbot, and your global user page is already active. You can see the deletion log on your archive page. :) —Pathoschild 23:26, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Great, thanks! —Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 00:00, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

OAuth testing

Hi Lucas,

you can propose OAuth consumers on beta meta. Also, you can test OAuth consumers in production before they are approved (with your own user only, but that's typically enough for testing the three-legged flow). --Tgr (WMF) (talk) 08:55, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

@Tgr (WMF): Thanks, I didn’t know there was a beta meta :) I managed to complete the test with the unapproved consumer, yes, but then I couldn’t find a way to withdraw the proposal – but if you can do it as an admin, feel free to reject it or something. --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 08:57, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

@Tgr (WMF): Sorry to bother you again, but next I’ll probably work on OAuth in Wikidata-Toolkit, which unfortunately seems to have Wikidata hard-coded everywhere so far, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to test that with beta meta and beta wikidata. Do you know if owner-only consumers support the full three-legged OAuth flow, so I could test with an owner-only consumer? --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 13:51, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

No, they only support one-legged OAuth. There is nothing wrong with creating test consumers, I did not mean to discourage you, I just wanted to mention some easier alternatives. --Tgr (WMF) (talk) 15:16, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Alright, thank you! And it looks like I bad-mouthed Wikidata Toolkit more than it deserves, the API part has the api.php configurable, so perhaps I can test on beta after all. --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 15:19, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi! Great video on speedpatrolling tool. We need more such videos/tutorials :) BTW, take a look at the year :) --Edgars2007 (talk) 17:02, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Re blog and structured data ...IAUPLOAD

Hi. Thanks for the article. I would love to see some integration of toollabs:ia-upload to pump data through to Wikidata to create the edition of the work at the time of upload, with the other structured data.

At the moment, the process is

1. identify the file at IA, plug it into IAUPLOAD with the IA string, where it does a light rendering of that data into c:template:book, which we then often manually jiggle around
2. import file to Commons, in book template
3. at the Wikisource then create Index: ns page (and we have a js gadget that extracts and inhales the book template data into numbers of the respective fields of the Index: page
4. (sometime down the track usually following the transcription process) we will transclude the transcription pages to main namespace
5. then create the Wikisource data and flow through to Wikidata, either manually at WD, or maybe with the WEF framework tool at the WS. Or as I see regularly often nothing is done.

It is quite an onerous and repititive process, let alone adding the structured data that you desire. For what you are talking about in your blog, to me seems to be the clear opportunity to have the Commons and Wikidata items created at the beginning of the process and to have them immediately linked, pumped and primed at the beginning of the process, rather than just a possibility at the end.

Then at some point we need a good tool to create a book item from an edition, and an edition item from a book. So much manual work at Wikidata makes it a giant PITA to the point that one can just shut one's eyes and try to ignore it all together.  — billinghurst sDrewth 06:06, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

36c3 Live Querying

The Live Querying is a really great idea and teaching instrument. Do you by any chance have a screen recording of your session? Since these are CC BY 4.0, I'm happy to provide more readable video edit. --YaguraStation (talk) 09:45, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

@YaguraStation: Unfortunately not – I learned at WikidataCon 2019 that my private laptop isn’t quite powerful enough to record in real time (in this session, it would periodically lock up for a few seconds). --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 15:41, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Queering Wikipedia 2021 User Group Working Days: May 14-16

The Wikimedia LGBTQ+ User Group is holding online working days in May. If you’re an active Wikimedian, editing on LGBTQ+ issues or if you identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, come help us set goals, develop our organisation and structures, consider how to respond to issues faced by Queer editors, and plan for the next 12 months.

We will be meeting online for 3 half-days, 14–16 May at 1400–1730 UTC. While our working language is English, we are looking to accommodate users who would prefer to participate in other languages, including translation facilities.

More information, and registration details, at QW2021.--Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group 15:45, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi

I am not sure if it was you or not, but the wm-bb bot used your ID and this was the first account I found through soft-redirects. Are you able to hop on IRC? Thanks - PDL^{Talk to me!}_{OMG, What have I done?} 21:59, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

@PotsdamLamb: I don’t usually join IRC because I can just follow the conversations in #wikimedia-cloud via the Telegram bridge, and even catch up on what I missed while I was offline.

currency of dataset

Hi, I came across the dataset you provided on the LOD site for WD dataset. Will you illuminate the date of extraction for this set? Thank you very much for your help. ShiehJ (talk) 15:09, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

@ShiehJ: d:Special:History/User:Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)/LOD Cloud suggests the last update was in late April 2021. Before I remembered that page, I tried to estimate the date from the number of triples in the data set (12.5 billion) and the recent history of that number (older data is lost, unfortunately), which led me to an estimate of early January 2021; I think that more or less aligns with the page history date, if you assume that the growth in the number of triples slightly accelerated (my calculation was a very simple one assuming linear growth, so I think that explains why it yielded a slightly earlier date). Hope that helps! --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 19:17, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Much appreciated... ShiehJ (talk) 20:15, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

@Lucas Werkmeister: - noch eine Frage, weisst du vlt. zufällig, wie ich den <rel me> Tag auf der Startseite von RegiowikiAt unterbringen könnte, damit der Link als verified erscheint im Profil https://wikis.world/@RegiowikiAt? Mfchris84 (talk) 15:31, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

@Mfchris84: Ich würde dafür mw:Extension:RealMe verwenden (es gibt scheinbar eine mit MediaWiki 1.39 kompatible Version), aber möglicherweise geht es auch mit mw:Extension:Widgets (was ihr schon installiert habt). Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 18:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Ne, Quatsch, mit Widgets könnte ja jede beliebige Seite von jedem verifiziert werden (das Einbinden von Widgets ist ja nicht geschützt, nehme ich an). RealMe ist besser. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 18:13, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

@G Utopia: Sorry, aber ich glaube nicht, dass das zu uns passt. Das Wiki wirkt im Moment nicht besonders aktiv (weder die Miraheze- noch die Fandom-Version), und beim Inhalt / Thema bin ich mir auch nicht so sicher. Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 16:05, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

@Lucas Werkmeister Wir sind die Miraheze version. Um die Inaktivität zu bekämpfen sind wir gerade dabei alles zu nutzen was es gibt. Wir sind halt ein Wiki in Aufbau. Man kann kein vollständiges Wiki aus dem nix kreieren. Und über das Thema, zwar sind die Sachen an sich 18+ aber torzdem tuen wir alles, damit die Inhalte möglichst für alle einsehbar sind (Selbstzensierung).

Can you tell me a bit more about the wiki? At the moment it looks pretty inactive (the 50 most recent edits are apparently just a bot repeatedly updating a timestamp on User:WF Staff Bot/Maintenance). Judging by some page contents, I’m guessing it’s a fork of the Fandom wiki, and I’m generally in favor of wikis forking away from there – but at the moment I can’t tell whether there’s a community behind it… Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 22:08, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Wikidata Validator branch

Hello Lucas,

You are the listed maintainer for the shex-simple tool in toolforge. For the past months I have been working to make a new version of this tool as my masters project. For this I branched off of the main branch in the shex.js repo, but later discovered that that tool uses a different branch. I am currently looking to merge the current wikidata version with my version. I thought it was the Wikidata branch of the shex github repo, but I cannot figure out where it converts where the html says "Query Map", "Query Map Editor" and "resolving Fixed Map" into where the wikidata version says "Query" and "Entities to Check".

I was wondering if you know which exact branch of the repository the shex-simple tool is using, and/or how it converts these, and what changes there are in the wikidata version make entering queries the default rather than adding specific nodes?

@M.alten.tue: The wikidata directory (the one that’s linked from EntitySchema pages) is on commit 5d525466cee91ab3b1011ecee8c03eb3eea552bc, which I think is still the tip of the wikidata branch. And Git reports no local changes in that repo. Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE) (talk) 09:31, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Alright, then I am at least looking in the right branch, and I just need to find the place I need to insert my code. Thanks for the help!

I have made a pull request: https://github.com/shexjs/shex.js/pull/409

Everything happened in one big commit because I cloned the repo at the start of my project rather than forking it, so I had to fork it properly and then move all my changes to this new repo before I could create a pull request.
