[08:29:59] We have one more comment on [[abstract:Project chat]] regarding the purpose of AW. I hesitate to reply [08:30:43] (You forgot the namespace in the link.) (re @jsamwrites: We have one more comment on [[abstract:Project chat]] regarding the purpose of AW. I hesitate to reply) [08:32:35] https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia:Project_chat#Who_is_this_for? [08:37:00] Thanks for your reply. (re @Jan_ainali: (You forgot the namespace in the link.)) [08:37:36] The answer by Jan is a bit dry but good enough for now. (re @jsamwrites: https://abstract.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia:Project_chat#Who_is_this_for?) [08:38:28] It's sometimes discouraging when we are constantly asked the same question again and again. We are in a building phase.. [08:38:45] And the question is actually interesting, indeed we are still searching exactly what we are doing right now, maybe we should acknowledge that 🤔 [08:39:18] I will add additional ideas. [08:46:33] It’s a very broad question. As I mentioned in [[:abstract:Abstract_Wikipedia_talk:About#How_does_Abstract_Wikipedia_work?]], we should be developing a “community roadmap” to articulate the holistic vision of the community: where we are now, where we hope to be soon and what else we need to be doing to progress beyond that. (re @jsamwrites: We have one more comment on [08:46:33] [[abst [08:46:33] ract:Project chat]] regarding the purpose of AW. I hesitate to reply) [08:55:02] Agree, I added some of my thoughts there. (re @Al: It’s a very broad question. As I mentioned in [[:abstract:Abstract_Wikipedia_talk:About#How_does_Abstract_Wikipedia_work?]], we ...) [08:56:14] It should be flexible, a roadmap would be good [08:56:15] Personally I would love some idea on abstract content for non-wikimedia projects (I've seen shy first tries for Wiktionary, I have a few ideas for Wikisource, there is a lot more potential there) (re @Al: It’s a very broad question. As I mentioned in [[:abstract:Abstract_Wikipedia_talk:About#How_does_Abstract_Wikipedia_work?]], we ...) [08:58:08] Wikisource has a lot of potential, I wanted to try some ideas on my user page, but it's not yet activated there [08:59:03] For instance? (re @jsamwrites: Wikisource has a lot of potential, I wanted to try some ideas on my user page, but it's not yet activated there) [09:00:05] Citing precise pages for a particular word or a phrase or a quote [09:00:51] I wanted to test that to link quotes and the source [09:01:19] Also, to cite the etymology of certain words [09:01:20] Where has it been activated (re @jsamwrites: Wikisource has a lot of potential, I wanted to try some ideas on my user page, but it's not yet activated there) [09:01:52] It's working on French wiktionary [09:02:03] You edit there? (re @jsamwrites: It's working on French wiktionary) [09:02:17] And you can DM me what you’re testing [09:03:37] https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Jsamwrites [09:04:11] Use of inflection tables using data from Wikidata lexemes [09:05:15] Very useful (re @jsamwrites: Use of inflection tables using data from Wikidata lexemes) [09:05:37] We might in the future deprecate all currently used conjugation tables [09:06:55] But this might need discussion (re @cvictorovich: We might in the future deprecate all currently used conjugation tables) [09:07:18] VIGNERON is definitely one who we can ask (re @cvictorovich: But this might need discussion) [09:22:19] That could be useful for Wikiquote too (re @jsamwrites: Citing precise pages for a particular word or a phrase or a quote) [09:23:17] Oh nice, etymology generation would be hard but it's definitely worth it! (re @jsamwrites: Also, to cite the etymology of certain words) [09:26:39] There is always a risk that tables may contain too many links, but I think an inflection table sourced from Wikidata should contain a link to the lexeme. I’d also be inclined to link to the function. Somewhere in our roadmap we should mention *T419561, *which I raised following discussions with French Wiktionarians ([[Wikifunctions talk:WikiProject Wiktionary [09:26:39] functions]]). (re [09:26:41] @jsamwrites: Use of inflection tables using data from Wikidata lexemes) [11:52:29] I made a Type for Grapheme: Z40783 per [[Wikifunctions:Type proposals/Grapheme]]. Let me know if it works! [12:45:28] Thanks. Please can you consider Julian dates soon? (re @vrandecic: I made a Type for Grapheme: Z40783 per [[Wikifunctions:Type proposals/Grapheme]]. Let me know if it works!) [12:46:36] they're literally top of my list for the next type. I just wanted to check in with David if there is any special consideration there. if not, they should come in the next few days! [12:53:32] I should prepare a URL type proposal. I've come to the opinion that we should avoid all String or Monolingual data entry on AW, because too many newcomers try to add text. Adding a URL is language-independent though, so could continue to be allowed by carving out a type for it. [13:09:10] <[[smlckz]]> Regarding URL, you might want to take a look at: https://url.spec.whatwg.org/ and good old https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc3986/ [13:12:14] Is that for a validator, or do you think the type itself should be more complicated than just a key with a string? (re @wmtelegram_bot: <[[smlckz]]> Regarding URL, you might want to take a look at: https://url.spec.whatwg.org/ and good old https://www.rfc-editor.o...) [13:15:19] <[[smlckz]]> "should be more complicated" I wonder.. I'd obviously would like it as you say, but look at Z20838.. what is the precedent then? [13:18:28] <[[smlckz]]> Regarding making floats (and ints) represented with just a string as well, Virinas-code wrote this up https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifunctions:Proposal_for_built-in_number_types [13:21:36] Z20838 [13:22:49] <[[smlckz]]> When we will have stronger type hygiene (let's call it that), we would be better off adhering to ''Parse, don't validate'': https://lexi-lambda.github.io/blog/2019/11/05/parse-don-t-validate/ [13:27:16] <[[smlckz]]> Also ''make illegal states unrepresentable'': https://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/posts/designing-with-types-making-illegal-states-unrepresentable/ [14:16:22] I think what we need here is a property with a ZID as the value on Wikidata (re @u99of9: I agree we need a way to do it, but I don't agree with your reason. Nevertheless, since we both want to be able to do it automat...) [15:07:38] I can't create functions in Wikifunctions now, it says I do not have permission. : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/6f46cb32/file_83528.jpg [15:11:22] Ask @u99of9 to grant you functioneer flag (re @Earldridge Jazzed: I can't create functions in Wikifunctions now, it says I do not have permission.) [15:11:49] Since you’ve been constructively editing for long [15:13:15] The last time I created a function before this happened was 5 days ago (re @Earldridge Jazzed: I can't create functions in Wikifunctions now, it says I do not have permission.) [15:13:32] But this definitely works (re @cvictorovich: Ask @u99of9 to grant you functioneer flag) [15:13:46] If that’s not enough, I might vouch for you [15:14:34] I'm not sure if it is a bug or if it was intended (re @Earldridge Jazzed: I can't create functions in Wikifunctions now, it says I do not have permission.) [15:14:52] Vouch that you would edit constructively here (re @cvictorovich: If that’s not enough, I might vouch for you) [21:13:49] I don't understand this solution. Which ZID would be the value of that triple for the subject Q7819319 ? (re @vrandecic: I think what we need here is a property with a ZID as the value on Wikidata)
