[02:35:56] Hi. BoxRec Identificator is activating spam-blacklist [02:36:33] when adding Template:Person categories = {{NF}} on es.wiki [02:36:34] 10[1] 04https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:NF [03:26:53] Hi, I have a quick question. Say there's a property bound for deletion, is there a main page to place my request? [03:30:39] Sorry, found it. Thanks. [03:47:24] looking LuchoCR|afk [03:50:51] thanks lozenge. It happened on this article https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Mullings [03:51:31] We had to delete the identifier on Wikidata, save edit on Wikipedia and restore it on Wikidata [03:53:13] LuchoCR: it looks like your local list has an entry for boxrec https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist [03:53:32] Pfff; we are idiots [03:53:47] ty very much [03:54:04] heh np [09:46:32] hi. i have issues with a SPARQL query which times out. I want to do it offline with the wikidata toolkit, but i'm stuck right now. How can I query with the wikidata toolkit? [10:58:08] If it's within code, some framework can configure how much it will wait before failing, but that's only when your code times out (I guess that the server has timeouts too) [11:05:44] it's a rather simple query https://w.wiki/3RDg [11:06:12] basically it is workout _without_ the native language filter [11:06:18] *working [11:26:08] I’m not sure what that query is supposed to do tbh [11:26:15] what is “the native language” in this contexts [11:26:18] *context? [11:31:16] Lucas_WMDE: it's the "original" name of the city in its country, not the english name, see Munich <-> München [11:32:12] okay, but that’s not what I see in the query [11:32:24] lang(?cityLabel) can be any language, items can have labels in tons of languages [11:33:41] i copied query code from multiple examples together, maybe there are issues with my query [11:35:00] maybe you want something like this? https://w.wiki/3REB [11:35:19] German label of all towns or cities with >15000 inhabitants [11:37:50] Lucas_WMDE: awesome! thank you very much. this works [11:38:25] Lucas_WMDE: is it possible to do for the whole planet, too? now I need to do it for every country manually [11:45:01] midzer: I can make it work for relatively large population thresholds, such as one million https://w.wiki/3RET [11:45:07] but for 15000 it will probably time out [11:45:33] (also this relies on P1705 “native label” which might not have full coverage at lower population levels) [11:48:15] Lucas_WMDE: yeah, it worked for 25k, that will do for me! [11:48:21] cool! [11:48:40] many thanks again for your support :) [20:24:30] Is someone willing to help with an issue? [20:26:12] What's the issue? [20:28:57] Thanks. Regarding Q2433405: this item is connected to an enwiki redirect page. However, when I try to connect the item to a hewiki redirect page, it fails. How come? [20:31:25] Guest29: which page on hewiki are you trying to link to? [20:31:55] שר הפנים [20:32:05] Do you need the full url? [20:32:12] please [20:33:26] https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=שר_הפנים [20:34:57] Should be noted that this item is connected to [20:35:00] https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Internal_Affairs_Minister_of_Israel [20:35:43] I just don't understand what's the difference. Thanks for your help. [20:41:39] The problem I'm encountering is that the auto-complete is trying to link to https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%93_%D7%94%D7%A4%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%9D [20:42:57] The trick often used is as follows: 1) remove the redirection on the hewiki page, 2) add the link with the badge Q70894304 (intentional sitelink to redirect), 3) re-add the redirection on the hewiki page. [20:42:57] I don't speak Hebrew, but if you do you should be able to select the proper item from the auto-complete drop down [20:43:14] mahir256: good idea [20:46:59] Thanks. Not sure how to do the second step mahir256 suggested, but I will try to find out. [20:47:20] Guest29: It's done [20:47:32] Thank you very much. [20:47:44] mahir256: I was unable to add the redirect badge, can you do that? [20:48:11] Both en and he need it [20:55:31] Just to reiterate the proper solution so I can use it next time: ignore auto-complete and write the full page name? [20:57:19] Guest59: The solution seems to be: break the redirect (so the page is a regular page again), add the wikidata item, then fix the redirect. The auto complete is probably trying to follow the redirect, and that's what's causing the problems. [20:57:36] Okay. Thanks again. [20:58:57] Although my redirect break edit was reverted, so that solution may be looked down on by the local wiki editors. [21:01:47] Yeah, I'm on it. [21:02:50] It is not looked down, I am an interface administrator on hewiki. [21:04:24] Guest59: https://he.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%97%D7%AA_%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9:Ldorfman&oldid=prev&diff=31509647 [21:06:48] He claims there's a better way to do it. No worries, I will put him to the test.
