Archiviazione discussioni

Mancherebbe una sola cosa: dovresti inserire, nella pagina d'archivio, il template {{talkarchive}}. Per il resto è ok. Ciao, --LukeWiller [Scrivimi] 15:01, 15 gen 2015 (CET). P.S.: le pagine di discussione andrebbero archiviate quando superano i 125.000 byte.

Infermiere

Ciao. Inizialmente proverei a chiedere al progetto medicina, in modo da (tentare di) ottenere dei pareri da persone che si occupano sanità. Se non funziona puoi provare ad aprire una richiesta di pareri nella pagina apposita. --Buggia 12:25, 17 gen 2015 (CET)

Non voglio creare edit war, ma in certe situazioni non mi tiro indietro:) Potrai vedere che ho appena modificato l'incipit in modo generale, ma corretto. Operatore sanitario è generico, ma sempre meno di persona. Spero non ci siano altre correzioni e/o puntualizzazioni da parte di nessuno, buona serata.--Geoide (msg) 20:38, 18 gen 2015 (CET)

Patrolling

Ciao Franciaio, ho notato che da alcuni giorni stai facendo patrolling e ti ringrazio visto che siamo veramente in pochi. Volevo semplicemente suggerirti di avvisare sempre gli utenti del motivo della cancellazione come da me fatto qui. Grazie.;-)--Burgundo^(posta) 10:45, 26 gen 2015 (CET)

Live RC lo uso poco perché ha dei bug. Nessun problema.;-)--Burgundo^(posta) 12:58, 26 gen 2015 (CET)

Purtroppo no, io uso ultime modifiche e pagine nuove operando a manina.;-)--Burgundo^(posta) 15:30, 26 gen 2015 (CET)

Visto il tuo lavoro sul patrolling..

Grazie per i tuoi contributi! La tua partecipazione ha reso migliore e più fruibile Wikipedia.
Ogni contributo costruttivo, per quanto piccolo possa sembrare, è utile per tutti coloro che usano l'enciclopedia ed è sempre apprezzato.

Buona permanenza!

però mi sa che sulla pagina Giuliocesare finiamo nel'angolo scherzoso :)), ci siamo conflittati malgrado la futile richiesta.. --130.255.98.151 (msg) 18:19, 28 gen 2015 (CET)

Eustachio

Ciao Franciaio, in casi come questo la voce è da cancellare per C5, non C1. Grazie, e buon patrolling! :-)--Euphydryas (msg) 18:37, 30 gen 2015 (CET)

Non posso aiutarti, non lo uso... come Burgundo, anche io procedo "a manina". Ciao! --Euphydryas (msg) 21:47, 30 gen 2015 (CET)

Jobs

Di niente! Dovere di sysop :) Quando ti trovi in casi analoghi la linea d'azione più veloce è quella di andare nella cronologia della voce, scegliere la versione non vandalizzata ed editarla senza modifiche. Ciao e buon fine settimana. --Phantomas (msg) 09:31, 31 gen 2015 (CET)

Wikidata weekly summary #153

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

• Events/Blogs/Press
  • Wikidata by country, or: The Wealth of Nation's Data
  • Wikidata the Game - one year in
  • Ongoing: GLAM-Wiki 2015
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Build a RSS image feed based on a query
  • Periodic table based on Wikidata data by Ricordisamoa
  • ~8000 biographical items with dates in the description, but no birth/death date statements
  • Magnus says ~8% (~1.4M) of all Wikidata items do not have any site links to Wikipedia etc.; knowledge that exists exclusively on Wikidata
  • Bene* wrote a user script that adds a filter bar above the statement section and lets you filter it
  • Magnus wrote a quick user script to move identifiers into the right sidebar to show how a statement section without identifiers would look like. This came up as part of a longer discussion on the mailinglist about moving identifier statements into their own section. Progress is being tracked at phabricator:T95287.
  • Samsung releases Freebase-Wikidata mappings in CC0: 4.4M pairs generated from Wikipedia links and custom code
  • Thanks to Bene* hovercards now also work for items and properties
  • New tool by Magnus for Wikidata item labels
• Did you know?
  • Newest properties: short name, list of episodes, named as
  • New task forces: Star Wars, Open Access
• Development
  • We are going to change the way value suggestions are ranked when entering a new statement. This will help with "male" and "female" not showing up among the top suggestions. Previously we ranked by number of sitelinks. We will change this to the maximum of sitelinks and labels. So if an item has labels in many languages but no sitelinks like "male" and "female" it will still show up high in the suggestions. (phabricator:T94404)
  • Discussed how to move forward with identifiers. Outcome: They should get their own datatype. (phabricator:T95287)
  • Implemented arbitrary access for the {{#property:…}} parser function. This can be invoked on the wikis that have arbitrary access enabled by using {{#property:P123|from=Q42}}. So far this is only Wikidata itself.
  • Did further performance work on the client (Wikipedia and co) in preparation for arbitrary access
  • Improved the performance of wbgetentities significantly when loading a large number of entities
  • Wrote more browser tests for different datavalues
  • Further work on RDF mapping and dumps
  • Fixed in other language box showing old data (phabricator:T90893)
  • Fixed language fallback on Special:Recent changes and Special:Contributions
  • Added language fallback for the tooltip on badge icons
• Monthly Tasks
  • Hack on one of these.
