Wikidata weekly summary #283

Wikidata weekly summary #282

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

DYK checklist

At Did you know nominations/Boiled leather, I used the template {{DYK checklist}}. The heading structure comes from that. Andrew D. (talk) 06:33, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

@Andrew Davidson: Ah, thanks. It looks like that's been around for a while, has the formatting of it or the header size of the article nomination been changed recently? If the main header was a level higher it would have avoided my confusion. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 11:30, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
I'm not sure if anything has changed. The main thing I noticed was that Johnbod interpolated his responses to the checklist points and I thought that went quite well as a threaded list of issues. I'll be getting back to the nomination in due course and will check it again when I get a moment. Today, the priority is another DYK which is up at the moment -- a prominent space engineer, Abbie Hutty, which may interest you too as a topic. Andrew D. (talk) 12:06, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
Nice article! :-) (The second photo is one of mine!) Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:23, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Map

The issue is the scale - that map shows us nothing more than that the museum is in London, which we've already been told. What would be considerably more useful is either a multi-level map or a more specific map with the more general one embedded. Nikkimaria (talk) 21:37, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

@Nikkimaria: Aah, that makes sense. How does this look? That's using locmapin rather than Wikidata, I still have to figure out how to code up the more general case. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:54, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Considerably better, although perhaps an intermediary step between Westminster and all of UK? Nikkimaria (talk) 22:08, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Done. That'll make things a bit more complicated to code with Wikidata info, though... Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 22:11, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

  • Development
    • Fixed Commons media suggester not loading all preview thumbnails (phabricator:T160528)
    • RDF exports can handle entity references to foreign Wikibase repositories now, needed for Structured Data on Commons (phabricator:T161592)
    • Worked on making statements on Forms editable and persistent (phabricator:T163724)
    • Worked on fine-grained usage tracking in Wikibase' Lua library (phabricator:T172914)
    • Worked on caching constraint check results (phabricator:T179849) and indicating when constraint check results are cached (phabricator:T179844)
    • Wikibase code base does not use Composer class autoloading any more (phabricator:T180067) as another step towards getting rid of our own build process and being more in line with the rest of Wikimedia
