Tool of the week

  • User:Teester/CheckShex.js - a Userscript that adds an input box to a Wikidata page wherein you can enter an EntitySchema (such as E10). When you click "Check", it uses pyshexy to validate the entity against the schema and displays whether the entity passes or fails.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

  • 🔥 Big changes are coming to the #WikidataQueryService. If you query for scholarly articles, please take a look at this announcement!
  • Is Shakespeare in German something for you? A digital version of the Schlegel/Tieck edition (Aufbau-Verlag 1975) was released with Wikidata connections. (source)

Tech News: 2024-37

[edit]

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

Feature news

  • Starting this week, the standard syntax highlighter will receive new colors that make them compatible in dark mode. This is the first of many changes to come as part of a major upgrade to syntax highlighting. You can learn more about what's to come on the help page. [1][2]
  • Editors of wikis using Wikidata will now be notified of only relevant Wikidata changes in their watchlist. This is because the Lua functions entity:getSitelink() and mw.wikibase.getSitelink(qid) will have their logic unified for tracking different aspects of sitelinks to reduce junk notifications from inconsistent sitelinks tracking. [3]

Project updates

  • Users of all Wikis will have access to Wikimedia sites as read-only for a few minutes on September 25, starting at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. More information will be published in Tech News and will also be posted on individual wikis in the coming weeks. [4]
  • Contributors of 11 Wikipedias, including English will have a new MOS namespace added to their Wikipedias. This improvement ensures that links beginning with MOS: (usually shortcuts to the Manual of Style) are not broken by Mooré Wikipedia (language code mos). [5]

So I guess this is the end? Those guys accused me a sock with a weak foundation of “same interest” and “trust me, I’ve been doing this very long”, then deleted my works based on such. Now having been proven wrong as these works are sourced and my IP is different, they just… disappeared.

Well hopefully, I will be left alone now and if there’s an error in what I uploaded, they will discuss it in good faith and help me like you and many others always have done. — Daeva Trạc (talk) 13:32, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't forgotten about you, I'll give me a more in-depth response later. I'm in Amsterdam this weekend and can't take the time to write an in-depth response. But these types of issues have bothered me for a long time, so I'm quite opinionated on them. Also, I haven't been able to use discussion pages on mobile 📲 properly for 8 (eight) to 9 (nine) months now. Do you also use Advanced mobile mode or just the regular one? Maybe I'm not the only one experiencing this issue. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 09:13, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just regular. I haven’t encountered any issues yet. Enjoy your trip in Amsterdam! — Daeva Trạc (talk) 11:23, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Daeva Trạc: , forgot the ping, as I can't "reply from comment" anymore, neither Factotum nor the regular MediaWiki software seems to work anymore. This website is broken for me and it has been broken for a very long time, I should really take the time to file a Phabricator ticket 🎫, for context, Phabricator tickets 🎫 are for filing technical issues or request technical features. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 09:16, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We need to lobby to archive more media now.

The longer we wait, the less will be salvageable. You can start by writing your senator, I'm going to contact Dutch representatives too. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 10:58, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, one thing I noticed about the English-language Wikipedia is that while the coverage of the Vietnam War, the American side of the conflict, every government programme, social effect, research into the American side of the Vietnam War, Etc. is very well documented, the South Vietnamese side, and even the North Vietnamese sides are barely covered. In fact, unless you're somehow involved in the military almost no South Vietnamese person is covered at all, South Vietnamese pop stars are barely acknowledged, South Vietnamese culture outside of war and the military isn't seem at all, even the Communist culture and pop culture isn't as accurately covered with any detail until the early 2000's. It's very clear that a lot of the people who have been working on Wikipedia since 2001 have been Baby Boomers from the West who think that "Viet-Nam is a war, and not a country". Personally, I'm planning on writing until 1955, so I'm not really planning on doing much in that regard, but this is always a niche you can fill or if you know someone else who is interested in Wikipedia they can also fill it. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 11:02, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well to be fair, even in Vietnamese schools, I was taught that the Vietnam War is just another war where the Vietnamese people had to stand up against foreign forces. Unless I didn’t pay attention, there was no mention of culture (lifestyle, songs, arts, literature,…) at all, North nor South. — Daeva Trạc (talk) 11:29, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
