Hi I think that even for exsiting translations it is acceptable to split a translation unit into several parts. But in this case, a translation admin should correct the translations, as an act of goodwill. Do you agree? --Michgrig (talk) 11:32, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Yes, it is certainly acceptable – and even desirable – in many cases, e.g. when the translation unit is a list with many or long list items. (But when you do it, please don't mark the edit as minor). If the translation unit is small, there generally is no reason to bother the translators. In the actual case there was no problem at all, because the edit was in newly added text which was not yet marked for translation, and I later undid my own correction and apologized to the editor. Byrial (talk) 11:49, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

"In the actual case there was no problem at all" - I've seen that, just wanted to discuss the general rule. BTW, if I'm not mistaken, you wanted to split long lists and tables into several translation units. Are you planning to do this? --Michgrig (talk) 12:07, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I plan to do that when I find cases where I consider it will help the translators. It is a nuisance trying to translate large chunks of text which cannot be seen in total in the text windows in the translation tool, and to try to find out what is changed after the original text have been edited. Byrial (talk) 19:53, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, it's so true... --Michgrig (talk) 20:26, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Nothing... I am worried about this edit (not marked for translation yet). --β₁₆ - (talk) 12:32, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi,

The above property is now available and can be used on items. I noticed you participated in its discussion. --  Docu  at 16:15, 25 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi

You changed the page Wikidata:Bureaucrats by adding translatable text. But there is another page Wikidata:List of bureaucrats with a list of 'crats that contains LangSwitches. How do you think: maybe it's better to mark it to translation and then to TNT it on the page about bureaucrats? --Michgrig (talk) 08:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

The same is about the list of admins. --Michgrig (talk) 08:28, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

I also made the same change to Wikidata:Bots and Wikidata:List of bots earlier.

My concern was that the list pages should both be able to function both as indepedent pages (I guessed that the creators want that because these list are in the project namespace) and be able to be transcluded into other pages. I don't think that is possible with TNT, and that the TNT template works with pages outside the template namespace as it is now. Byrial (talk) 10:52, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

PS. I just saw your Russian translations of the new messages at Wikidata:Bureaucrats and Wikidata:Administrators, and noticed that you only used one plural form. I thought that the Russian language uses different plural forms dependent of the last digit of the number, so I inserted the PLURAL switch to allow that. Byrial (talk) 11:07, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

The TNT template works in other namespaces. An example of this is Wikidata:List of properties where subpages are transcluded into the main one.

P.S. Yes, generally the Russian language has more than two plural forms. However in that very phrases there are only two: for numbers ending with 1 (except for 11) and for all other numbers. --Michgrig (talk) 12:36, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I see that it works, so now I think it is better to use TNT. Thank you for telling me about it. I will not have time to change anything today, but I will do it tomorrow evening, if you don't do it earlier. -- Byrial (talk) 13:50, 2 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hejsan, vad kallar ni "Flooders" på Dansk? -- Lavallen (block) 18:50, 7 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Jeg kender ikke noget ord for det. "Flood" hedder "oversvømmelse", så man kan måske bruge:

• a flooder = en oversvømmer
• flood flag = oversvømmelsesflag

men det er ikke ord som findes i forvejen. Hvad bruges på svensk? Byrial (talk) 19:29, 7 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Det står "Botanvändare" i svenska loggen, vilket kan förväxlas med bot/robot varför jag hellre skulle se ett annat ord. "Flood" kan översättas "Översvämning", men "Flod" om man syftar på tidvatten eller på Bibelns Noa. -- Lavallen (block) 19:35, 7 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Det er også "flod" (modsat "ebbe") på dansk om tidevand, men det synes jeg ikke kan bruges her. Byrial (talk) 19:56, 7 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Betyder det att man kan använda det här för att beskriva att Frederik IX of Denmark (Q151312) var kung av Danmark, 1947–1972 i ett enda claim? -- Lavallen (block) 18:04, 17 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Interessant, den tekst har jeg ikke bemærket før. Ja, det ser ud til at man vil kunne angive Frederiks regeringstid med en påstand med kun en kvalifikator som har et datointerval som værdi, hvis det bliver som beskrevet.

Byrial, congratulations! You now have the rights of administrator on Wikidata. Please take a moment to read the Wikidata:Administrators page and watchlist related pages (in particular Wikidata:Project chat and Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard), before launching yourself into page deletions, page protections, account blockings, or modifications of protected pages.

Please feel free to join us on IRC: #wikidata-admin @ irc.freenode.net. If you need access, you can flag someone down at #wikimedia-wikidata @ irc.freenode.net. You may find Commons:Guide to adminship to be useful reading, although it doesn't always completely apply here at Wikidata. You may also want to consider adding yourself to meta:Template:Wikidata/Ambassadors, and to any similar page on your home wiki if one exists. (WT:Wikidata/Wikidatans on En-WP.)

Please also add/update the languages you speak to your listing at Wikidata:List of administrators. Again, welcome to the admin corps!

Hey Byrial,

I was just wondering what the consensus ended up with regarding items such as Q12052419. I know it's in use, but it will only ever be used in 1 item, and I don't think its notability can be justified. I think that is why Vogone deleted it earlier. Making an item for every answer to every statement on Wikidata would be like creating an article for every non-bluelink on Wikipedia, in my opinion. Del_♉sion23 (talk) 23:52, 30 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

I am not sure there was consensus for neither keeping them nor deleting them. Personally I agree with you about the notability, but I restored them because I think they were deleted for the wrong reason: Which is that they were on my bulk deletion request where I wrongly claimed that they were not used as values in any statements. (See Wikidata:Administrators' noticeboard#Very large bulk deletion request) I am now removing items which are used as values in statements in other items from the bulk deletion request, and restoring those of them which already have been deleted – like the juror items and some others. If it is decided to delete them due to missing notability, that should be stated as the deletion reason, not just that they are empty. Byrial (talk) 00:22, 31 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

 

Hello, Byrial. You have new messages at Wikidata:Bot requests#Fix Polish descriptions.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

--Ricordisamoa 12:10, 4 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the list! I'm going to do something of it... --Ricordisamoa 19:09, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Anyway, most of items with Polish description "włoskie obec" should have already been checked by the bot. --Ricordisamoa 19:11, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Could you please generate User:SamoaBot/włoskie obec and User:SamoaBot/szablon Wikipedia again?   --Ricordisamoa 12:39, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

With pleasure - when I have access to new data. I hope that a new database dump for Wikidata will available in less than a week, and when I have it I will update the lists. Byrial (talk) 13:14, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks in advance   --Ricordisamoa 14:10, 9 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Done with data from 2013-06-10. Byrial (talk) 10:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot! Maybe we could make it a regular database report? --Ricordisamoa 17:57, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Is there a need for that? I thought that these incorrect descriptions was added in the past by a mistake that is now corrected. If the mistake is still being made, can it not be stopped? Byrial (talk) 18:20, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Please delete http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12720187?uselang=ro and http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12720187?uselang=ro. They were duplicates. 79.112.11.215 04:43, 16 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

You gave the same link twice, but I deleted Q12721728 and Q12720187 which I found by looking in your edit history. You can also use Wikidata:Requests for deletions (or the shortcut WD:RFD) to request deletions. Byrial (talk) 04:57, 16 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sorry. You proceeded right. Thank you. I searched the shortcut to Requests for deletions in the left side of the page like on Commons (Nominate for deletion), but I didn't find it. 79.112.11.215 05:06, 16 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I've been curious for a while about how many P107 claims there were by each of the GND main types, so your comment in the current P107 about the 1,221,158 items with GND type person intrigued me.

How to list/search articles from ml.wikipedia.org which has no other interwiki link connected; reason I wanted it because, malayalam article spark plug(Q13115194) and english article of the same(Q193340) has different wikidata connection. There are lots in this type!, to clear those I need a list of that.Thank you.--117.213.27.239 08:13, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

You want a list like this: User:Byrial/Items with only Malayalam link?

Thank you. Think this is what I searched for, how did you get this result , is there any link to get this search? Anyway I copied the result you gave.--117.213.27.239 09:36, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

And how to list category and template(skipped in above list) , almost all of those doesn't have interwiki links.-- 117.213.27.239 09:38, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Oh I just read it, these "lists are made from database dumps". I will look at it; and if there is any easy link for listing please let know, Thank you. -- 117.213.27.239 09:54, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I made the list from the public database dumps (see Wikidata:Database download), in this case the data is extracted from the file wikidatawiki-20130610-pages-articles.xml.bz2. I have parsed it and put most of the content in a local database at my computer ready for use. I use programs written in C for the analysis, and you can have a copy under GPL license if you want.

I skipped the category namespace because the list was already very long. A list for the category links is now at User:Byrial/Items with only Malayalam category link. It seems that there is no items which links to the template namespace. I do not understand why but I can find no links starting with either "Template:" or "ഫലകം:". Maybe they were never imported to Wikidata by any bot, or maybe it is some kind of bug. Byrial (talk) 10:15, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for taking this effort. Some Template/ഫലകം are still in wikidata (Q6192836 for Template:thumbs up/ഫലകം:കൊള്ളാം, Q6171351 for ഫലകം:Infobox film). It may be a bug.-- 117.213.27.239 10:30, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

These 2 items are not in my local database. I will investigate my programs for bugs. Thank you for bringing my attention to this problem. Byrial (talk) 10:49, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I must have been confused. Both Q6192836 and Q6171351 are in my local database. I know 2790 items which links to Malayalam templates, but all expect Q10987689 (ml:ഫലകം:User Animator 1) also have links to other languages, and Q10987689 also had a link to English which is removed now when it was imported to Wikidata. I guess that no bot imported items directly from the Malayalam template namespace, so only those templates linked to from other Wikipedias have been imported. Byrial (talk) 14:18, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yes I agree , malayalam templates interwiki-ed to english wikipedia is now in wikidata others still are not connected. --117.213.28.114 17:14, 23 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

You may find User:Byrial/numbermerge/ml-en useful. It is generated by a new program I made to find possible merge candidates for items with numbers in the page title. The idea is that if a page in language 1 with a number in the title links to a page in language 2 with the same number in the title, then other pages in language 1 with the same text, but other numbers are candidates to link to pages in language 2 with the same text as before and matching numbers. Byrial (talk) 14:01, 24 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Result is perfect , all need to be merged.--117.203.64.232 16:36, 24 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

But not complete,ml:വർഗ്ഗം:13-ആം നൂറ്റാണ്ടിൽ അസ്തമിച്ച സാമ്രാജ്യങ്ങൾ en:Category:13th-century disestablishments are same category but not included in this result.-- 117.203.64.232 16:46, 24 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

No, for a pair of items to be found, you have to have at least one case where the same texts already are linked together with other numbers. Otherwise the program cannot know that "-ആം നൂറ്റാണ്ടിൽ അസ്തമിച്ച സാമ്രാജ്യങ്ങൾ" are releated to "th-century disestablishments" as it have no idea about the meanings of the texts. (The pattern count in each line indicates how many pages in the two languages are already linked using the same texts but other numbers). Byrial (talk) 16:54, 24 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Oh got it, 'at least one connection of a pattern of text' + number.-- 117.203.64.232 17:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
