Hi Max, if you need a ride to harvest moon photo event, I'll be finishing a reading at the
California Institute of Integral Studies on 10th and Mission at 5:30 pm tomorrow and then getting a ZipCar at a garage nearby. Please send me a note on my talk page or on my phone at nine one seven eight two five three zero two seven to coordinate the ride out to the GGB if you need it. Thanks,

Wikidata weekly summary #22
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Worked on sorting for site-links table on item pages; enhanced some code in MediaWiki core for that
Fixed issue with aliases breaking grid layout of item pages
Worked on fixing issues for right-to-left languages in site-links user interface
Worked on new SpecialPage to create new items
Two new fancy Special pages appeared: ItemDisambiguation (lets you search for all items that have a given label or alias) and ItemByTitle (gives you the ID of the item that is connected to a given Wikipedia page)
Gave an introduction on Selenium testing to the team
Added Selenium tests for undelete & conflicts on undeletion
I've been poking around for the icon used for audio files, and it seems that it's actually something which can be set on a case-by-case basis: {{Listen}} defaults to "music", a speaker with notes, but also offers "sound" (a generic speaker with sound waves) or "speech", with an old-style microphone. You can also set it to "none" for no image.
There's also {{audio}}, which is a smaller inline template and uses a small speaker+waves icon.
That definitely makes sense. Although we don't see much of a differnce, to those who care, sound is a greater concept than music. It'd be like having a paintbrush icon for photorealistic imagery.

Added per-language uniqueness restriction for property labels (You can only have one property with a given name in a language. For items this applies for the combination of label and description.)
Tests for noexternallanglinks, CreateProperty, PropertyView
Finished base of DataTypes and DataValues extensions
Added resource module for loading site information
Improved change handling on the client, including when items are deleted and inserting changes that affect the client wiki in the client’s recent changes (still rough)
New "List all datatypes" Special page
Finished property view. Property entities can be edited now
Changes to some of the containing structures in the API, items to entities and item to entity
Change to token handling (gettoken has died in flames, use edit token from action=tokens instead)
Some cleanup for the security audit
Worked on encapsulating auto completion widget from EditableValue.autocompleteInterface
Started work on supporting access to remote wikis via the ORMTable class
Discussion and fixes regarding transaction logic in core
Made a git branch for the first deployment that is currently being reviewed by WMF (
current review status)
Test coverage for Wikibase and its extensions is now recorded and visible online
If you are doing a Wikidata intro or something like that at an event we can send you some swag like stickers and flyers. Let me know well in advance please so it reaches you in time.
I have written the original version of the script that now is a lot changed. You can find btw "category" in the code and try to move the part where it re-adds the category a bit below (or above) to see if works for you!

Wikidata branch was merged \o/ (about 10.000 lines of code) This also means that MediaWiki now has shiny new ContentHandler features to enable storing data and other content types
October 16 - Ada Lovelace Day Celebration - You are invited!
Come celebrate Ada Lovelace Day at the
Wikimedia Foundation offices in San Francisco on October 16! This event, hosted by the
Ada Initiative, the
Mozilla Foundation, and the Wikimedia Foundation. It'll be a meet up style event, though you are welcome to bring a laptop and edit about women in
STEM if you wish. Come mix, mingle and celebrate the legacy of the world's first computer programmer.
The event is October 16, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm, everyone is welcome!
I'm pleased you brought this up. It is not well documented. And my next project after VIAFbot, is to see if we can make an algorithm for that OCLC parameter. So you read my thoughts exactly.
