Wikidata weekly summary #595

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Events
    • Upcoming
      • WikidataCon 2023, the conference dedicated to the Wikidata community, is taking place on October 28-29, online all around the world and onsite in Taipei. You can now register for the conference.
      • WikiIndaba 2023 Microgrants available for community events!
      • Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour September 29. This event is part of a series where you can gain hands-on experience with Wikidata by working on a diverse library and information science (LIS) dataset. In this fourth session, we'll introduce the Wikimedia PAWS environment for data gathering and processing in your Wikidata projects. We'll focus on web scraping for article data using Python and the Beautiful Soup package for parsing. You'll learn about data models for making your data accessible to both machines and humans. This session will be recorded and shared on the event page. Event page.
    • Ongoing: Weekly Lexemes Challenge #110, Ohm's law (Challenge started on 2023-09-25 12:01:32)
  • Tool of the week
    • User:Luca.favorido/linkypop.js is a script that can be used to search an identifier on an external site. It provides a button to search for an identifier as soon as you type it in the property input field. For example, if you type “ORCID”, an icon with a lens will appear, and when you click it, a new tab will open with the ORCID site looking for the name of the researcher. You can then copy the URL and paste it to Wikidata.
  • Development
    • Lexemes: We are fixing an issue that made edit links and styles disappear (phab:T344362)
    • Mismatch Finder:
    • We are continuing to migrate tools from ORES to Lift Wing (phab:T343731)
    • We've added Wikifunktions as a new wiki for sitelinks (phab:T342857)
    • Wikibase REST API: We are working on making it possible to get labels, descriptions and aliases from a Property as well as modify the description of an Item

National Council of Women (Romania)

Hi Dsp13, thank you for your recent article creations on Romanian women. It turns out National Council of Women (Romania) already existed as Union of Antifascist Women of Romania, so I think a merge should be made. What do you think? Regards and keep the good work up. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 22:39, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing this! I'm very ignorant of Romanian history, and don't read Romanian, but it seems (e.g. from this English thesis and this French thesis) as if the PCR had three successive women's organizations - the Union of Anti-Fascist Women of Romania (1944-47), the Union of Democratic Women of Romania (1948-53) and the National Council of Women (1954-89). As well as having different names, they had some difference in structure. On the other hand, each succeeded the previous one as the Party's official women's organization. So I'm not sure myself whether it would be clearest to have one WP page (with a bunch of relevant redirects from the different names) or to have three. Dsp13 (talk) 23:29, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
A merger discussion could be started then. Hopefully it will attract some editors more knowledgeable on the topic, I myself don't know too much either. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 00:28, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Good idea. Does that involve any more than putting the mergeto, mergefrom templates on the pages? Dsp13 (talk) 09:34, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Also starting a thread on the talk page of the article supposed to receive the info so that it can be linked on the templates. Super Dromaeosaurus (talk) 09:47, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/286

Hallo, I tweaked your entry in the list to split your signature out into the "participants" list, to standardise - hope that's OK by you. PamD 11:22, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you! I realised when I added it that I didn't know the standard format. Well done on scoring a three-in-one! (And I can't easily imagine what it would be like to be one of 25 children.) Dsp13 (talk) 11:48, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
