This last week I concentrated on adding #Bangladeshi women to #Wikidata. When I started, just over a year ago, there were only 1,224 Bangaldeshi women in Wikidata. I'm pleased to be able to say that there are now 1,000 more - poets and judges and politicians and scientists and more 🎉

I am by the way amazed that #wikidata has "hug" as a well-defined entity. So even if you want to use hugs as your currency, you can do that in full compliance to the semantic system :)

today an important cornerstone towards implementing FEP-0837 in #flohmarkt has been finished: i overhauled the backend of the currency system. Each currency now relies on a single global identifier in the form of an URL. We hope for most of these to be URLs to #wikidata entities in the future […]

Has it become more difficult to upload larg(-ish) datasets to #Wikidata. Quickstatements at some point produces only errors, #OpenRefine gets stuck ... strange. I don't think it always has been like this.

APIs and Descriptions **AutoDesc** has been a longstanding tool to generate descriptions for Wikidata items. Originally a spin-off from Reasonator, it started as my only JavaScript-based server application, generating both short and (for biographical items, and two languages) long descriptions. When the usual bitrot set in, I decided to move it over to Python, hoping to attract more developers; that did, however, not pan out. Also, I only managed to port the short description code, dropping support for the long descriptions in the process. Now, I have moved it to trusty Rust, and also ported the long description mode from the original JavaScript. I threw in some caching, so descriptions are now much faster – often <1sec for short descriptions. In other news, my **MediaWiki Rust API** has now added all of the MediaWiki Action API functionality as proper Rust elements. Generators are also supported, as is _continue_. Results that are based on page_info results can be automatically parsed into an appropriate struct. I even threw in a _prelude::*_ module to get everything you need in one line. Due to the massive addition of functionality, the version has also been bumped to 0.5.0.

Jos vielä ihmettelet, mitä hyötyä Wikidatasta on, niin tässä uusi näkökulma.

#Wikidata on optimoitu botteja varten, mutta Magnus Mansken luoma Reasonator näyttää sen tiedot ihmisystävällisemmin.

Screenshot of a Wikidata WikiProject page background is green with mostly black text and an image of a moth specimen illustrates the page.

I've been working on data models for #Wikidata type specimen items & structured data for #WikimediaCommons specimen images. This is part of my WiR & is a collaboration with Brodie Satherley from Auckland Museum.
