Duplikáció megszüntetése - (Holnap lesz fácán c. film)
Kedves Valaki!
Elkövettem azt a hibát, hogy nem néztem meg, van-e már wikidata adatlapja a Holnap lesz fácán című filmnek, és most vettem csak észre, hogy az olasz wikipédisták már készítettek neki egyet. Tudná valaki törölni az én általam készített [1] adatlapot? Köszi: ZorróAszter vita 2020. július 29., 09:29 (CEST)
Vagy jó megoldás az, hogy felteszek még egy már szintén rég megírt magyar film cikket, és annak adatlapjára átírom? ZorróAszter vita 2020. július 29., 09:33 (CEST)
Bencemac megoldotta :). Ilyenkor mindig az összevonás a megoldás. A törléssel az a baj, hogy nem marad átirányítás, az elemek újrahasznosítása meg szigorúan tilos. – Máté (vitalap) 2020. július 29., 11:11 (CEST)
Köszi szépen. ZorróAszter vita 2020. július 29., 11:18 (CEST)

- The last week was our quarterly prototyping week. We worked on the following projects. None of them are ready for prime-time yet but we'll continue with them.
- Slices: We've had a lot of requests for accessing dumps of a smaller part of Wikidata's data since rarely anyone needs the complete data in Wikidata. The tricky part is figuring out which part is needed and if any of that can be generalized. We looked into for example how to make dump generation faster so we could potentially produce more smaller dumps that only cover a part of Wikidata's data, either thematically (e.g. humans) or by type of data (e.g. only statements and English labels and aliases but not sitelinks or descriptions).
- REST API: As part of our effort to make it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers we looked into a REST API. We tried to see if we could cover the existing action API modules in a REST API. We could. We'll take this as input for our ongoing API work now.
- Improving quality ratings through ORES: ORES can judge the quality of an Item automatically. It is currently not very good at it however. We tried a few things to make it more accurate and found some easy wins we'll probably make happen in the next weeks.
- Query manipulator: One of the ways we could potentially improve the load situation of the Wikidata Query Service is by automatically analyzing and then redirecting a bunch of queries to other systems that are more suitable for that particular type of query. The nice thing about that would be that the person/program sending the query wouldn't have to care about it but it'd be done automagically for them. We tried to build such a system and the results look very promising but more work/experimenting is needed, especially together with the WMF Search team.

Országgyűlési képviselők (követek stb.) jelzése a Wikidatán
Sziasztok, a Wikidata magyarországi parlamenti képviselő (Q17590876) elemének használatáról szeretném, ha kialakítanánk egy megállapodást. Nem ez a legfontosabb Wikidata-téma, de elég sok képviselőnkről van adatlap (~2000), ahol jelölni, majd ez alapján keresni lehet őket, nem lenne rossz, ha egységes lenne a képviselőtípus és időszakok jelzése.
Ezt a magyar országgyűlési képviselő néven futó jelzést használjuk a képviselőink beosztás rubrikájában. Ha lekattintjátok, látható, hogy a mai címerünk van benne - vagyis feltehetően a rendszerváltás utáni képviselőkhöz szánta a létrehozója -, de nincs benne dátumkorlátozás, és ahhoz a kategóriához kapcsolódik, amelyik lényegében a 19. század elejéig gyűjti a képviselőket (követeket): Kategória:Országgyűlési képviselők. Ugyanakkor magát a jelzést a 18. század elejéig használjuk a Wikidatában (a legrégebbi képviselő, akinél ez szerepel, az 1707-es ónodi országgyűlésen résztvevő Rakovszky Menyhért (Q1245685)). Ugyanezt a fenti elemet használták néhány helyen erdélyi (1920 előtti) országgyűlési képviselő beosztásában, sőt, néhány alkalommal még magyar nemzetiségű, a román parlament alsóházában képviselő esetén is. Ez így szerintem nincs rendben, rendezni kell mire használjuk a fenti elemet.
Az évek során két "képviselőtípus" vált le erről, és kapott önálló jelzést:
- az 1926–1944 közötti felsőház tagjaira a magyar felsőház tagja (Q62733773) (a magyar felsőház képviselője),
- az 1919-es tanácskormány képviselőire a Tanácsok Országos Gyűlésének tagja (Q97614057) (a Tanácsok Országos Gyűlésének tagja)
elem használatos.
Nincs külön jelölése pl. a középkori (rákosmezei) országgyűlések képviselőire, a diétai követekre, a reformkori országgyűlésekre, de nincs az 1944–1945-ös Ideiglenes Nemzetgyűlés tagjaira sem.
Valami olyan kompromisszumot szeretnék kialakítani, aminek a hatására lehetőleg minél nagyobb időszakot felölelő jelzést használnánk a jövőben, de figyelembevesszük a képviseleti rendszer különbözőségeit (pl. a megválasztás/küldötté válás szabályai). Az én javaslatom az, hogy használjuk ezt a magyarországi parlamenti képviselő (Q17590876) elemet a kiegyezés környékén kialakult népképviseleti rendszer bevezetésétől, vagyis az 1865-68-as országgyűlési időszaktól a mai napig, mert ebben az időtartamban beszélhetünk parlamenti ciklusokról, választásokról, egyáltalán a szó mai értelmében vett országgyűlési képviselőkről.
Az 1865 előtti országgyűlések résztvevőit követnek hívjuk, és általában van elem, sőt szócikk is magukról az ogy.-ekről (Kategória:Történelmi országgyűlések). Nem kardinális kérdés, de az ezeken az eseményeken küldöttként résztvevőknek akár országgyűlésenként is lehet Wikidata eleme (pl.:Az 1708-as sárospataki országgyűlés követe).
Javaslom még önálló elemmel jelölni:
- az 1920 előtti Főrendiház tagjai (felsőházi képviselők nem választás útján kerültek a parlamentbe)
- az Ideiglenes Nemzetgyűlés tagjai (nem voltak választások, sőt, össze sem ült ez a testület)
- az Erdélyi országgyűlés tagjai (rendi gyűlések sorozata volt 1865-ig)
beosztását.
Minden más esetben, tehát 1865-től napjainkig valamennyi országgyűlési ciklus képviselőinek beosztásánál használjuk a magyarországi parlamenti képviselő (Q17590876) elemet. Mit szóltok? Palotabarát vita 2020. augusztus 5., 11:37 (CEST)
A katonák besorolását lehetne követni: 18.-19.-20 századi képviselők? Akela vita 2020. augusztus 6., 21:34 (CEST)
- Akela köszi az ötletelést, de kicsit összetettebb az ügy. Van egy általános megnevezése a beosztásnak, ez a magyarországi parlamenti képviselő (Q17590876), csak kicsit túlhasználtuk (szerintem). Van viszont egy csomó minősítő, amit hozzá lehet tenni: meg lehet adni a parlamenti ciklust, amikor ő képviselő volt (pl.: 1985–1990-es parlamenti ciklus (Q63762600)), meg lehet adni a választókörzetét (pl.: Zala megyei 4. sz. országgyűlési egyéni választókerület (Q50842177)), a parlamenti frakciót, a megválasztás időpontját, parlamenti képvsielősége kezdő- és záródátumát. Amit te javasolsz, azt leginkább a törvényhozási ciklus helyett lehetne használni, de az szerintem jól van úgy, nem javasolnám lecserélni.
- Az 1865 előtti országgyűlési követek esetén akár lehetne is használni az általad javasolt évszázad jelzését (de értelemszerűen 20. századi nem lenne benne). A magyarországi országgyűlések listája cikkben láthatók maguk az ogy.-k, de annyira specifikus ez az országgyűlés téma, hogy én egyelőre a gyűlésenkénti jelzést preferálom. A Országgyűlési követek kategória egyébként mutatja a résztvevőket, ezt (ti. a kategóriát) lehetséges, hogy érdemes lenne az általad javasolt módon felbontani. Palotabarát vita 2020. augusztus 7., 11:24 (CEST)
- Vagy nagy történelmi korszakok szerint? pl. OGY követek 1848 előtt, 1848-67 (vagy 65) között, 1867-1918, Tanácsköztársaság 1919, 1920-1944, 1945-1949, 1949-1990, 1990 után? Akela vita 2020. augusztus 7., 13:17 (CEST)
DeltaBot új fiút szül a 13. századi hadfinak
Semmi nyoma annak, hogy I. Ibelin János bejrúti úrnak lett volna egy hatodik fia, Raoul nevű, ezért eltávolítottam a Wikidatából, de DeltaBot visszatette. Csak úgy védhetem ki ezt, ha manuálisan írom be a gyermekeit, mint az enwiki? – Pagony foxhole 2020. augusztus 6., 18:13 (CEST)
- Gondolom, a szimmetria okán teszi be, mivel Raoulnál az szerepel, hogy János az apja. Talán ha mind a két helyről kivennéd, akkor a bot békén hagyná. Hkoala 2020. augusztus 6., 18:50 (CEST)
- Az a baj, hogy szanaszét ágazik az egész, be van írva az anyjához, mind az öt testvéréhez stb. Az egészet meg nem akarom feldúlni, pedig nagyon úgy néz ki, hogy botcsinálta netes genealógiákról írta be egyszer valaki, aztán úgy maradt. Pagony foxhole 2020. augusztus 6., 19:14 (CEST)
- Akkor tényleg csak az marad, hogy itt kézzel írod be Hkoala 2020. augusztus 6., 19:18 (CEST)
- Megtettem. Pagony foxhole 2020. augusztus 6., 19:21 (CEST)
- Ha forrásolt az adat, de téves, akkor elavulttá kell tenni. Úgy sem fog megjelenni az infoboxban, és nem kell botokkal hadakozni. Így nem kell kézzel beírni, és a többi Wikipédiát is segítjük. – Máté (vitalap) 2020. augusztus 7., 13:53 (CEST)

Quote kiszedése infoboxból
Sziasztok! van valami megoldás arra, hogy a d:Q9061 adatlapon az occupation alatt a "quote" ne jelenjen meg a {{személy infobox}}
(?)ban? Baromi csúnyán mutat, pláne, hogy idegen nyelvű a quote, nem is értem, miért tesznek ilyesmit a wikidatába. Karl Marx szócikkéről van szó. Köszönet. Xia Üzenő 2020. augusztus 8., 17:15 (CEST)
- A foglalkozásnál nem jön át, az alma mater (P69) minősítőit megkurtítottam. Így gondoltad? Bencemac A Holtak Szószólója 2020. augusztus 8., 17:38 (CEST)
