Wikidata weekly summary #567

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • New requests for permissions/Bot:
      • RPI2026F1Bot 7 (Add start time (P580) as qualifiers to subreddit (P3984))
      • BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)

DYK for Musa va 'Uj

On 25 April 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Musa va 'Uj, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Musa va 'Uj (pictured) depicts figures from all three Abrahamic religions? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Musa va 'Uj. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Musa va 'Uj), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Revert my correction to my own comment

You have reverted reverted my edit, which I made to make spelling corrections to my own comment, to which nobody had replied yet. See wp:REDACT. Perhaps you hadn't noticed that I was correcting my own comment? - DVdm (talk) 10:16, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Note: No worries, I already have redone my correction: [1]. Cheers . - DVdm (talk) 10:37, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

@DVdm: Strange! I didn't intend to do that and didn't realise I had done it, but clearly I did. Must have been a misclick. Apologies! MartinPoulter (talk) 12:32, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

Template:Infobox collection

Good morning. You don't happen to have any idea why the image size parameter appears not to be working on this, Template:Infobox collection, by any chance? We're wanting to use it here, Private Case, but it's shrinking the image and losing some detail. I understand you didn't author the template, but you have, I think, made amendments to it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards. KJP1 (talk) 08:24, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

@KJP1: Happy to help. The variable you need is imagesize, not image_size as you were using. MartinPoulter (talk) 13:45, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
That works beautifully. Many thanks indeed. KJP1 (talk) 17:05, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
