Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary!
Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed
Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.
Wikidata’s world - map of Wikidata Items with a geocoordinate
There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉
Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.
And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.
List of presents gathered by the community for Wikidata's eleventh birthday
Luthor is a multi-lingual tool for adding usage examples to lexemes on Wikidata, from sentences found on Wikisource in the same language. (by Asaf Bartov)
সংকলক একটি সরঞ্জাম যেটা দিয়ে উইকিসংকলনের লেখাগুলির উইকিউপাত্ত আইটেম অনুসারে সে লেখাগুলিকে উন্নত ভাবে অনুসন্ধান করা যায়। - Sangkalak is a tool with which Wikisource works can be searched more readily, using the Wikidata items for those works. (present from Mahir256) (by মাহির২৫৬-এর উপহার)
Creating new Lexemes? For a lot more languages you now no longer need to provide a spelling variant when creating a new Lexeme, making it even easier to contribute data about words in your language. (present from the development team)
The Mismatch Finder, the tool to help review mismatches between Wikidata and other data sources now also has support for mismatches on qualifiers. This allows it to be useful also for issues that are in the data in qualifiers. (present from the development team)
Upcoming: Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call October 31, 2023: We will hear from Darnelle Melvin, Cory Lampert, and Andre Hulet, University of Nevada-Las Vegas Libraries, on WireframeVG: A Search and Discovery Application for Wikidata Projects. Agenda
How cultural institutions use Wikidata (How cultural heritage institutions sharing their collection data, including implementing Wikidata projects, batch uploading datasets to Wikidata, and how to share successes to a broader audience) - Jackie Rubashkin, Metadata Technician, Barack Obama Presidential Library; Michelle van Lanschot, Project Coordinator at Wikimedia-Netherlands; William Blueher, Associate Museum Librarian at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Will Kent, Wiki Education
(in Chinese) Wikidata基礎編輯教學 (Wikidata basic editor) - Conference for Open Source Coders, Users & Promoters (COSCUP) 2023
Notable People is a map project by Topi Tjukanov that showing birthplaces of the most "notable people" around the world. It uses the combined data of Wikipedia and Wikidata from the paper's "a cross-verified database of notable people, 3500 BC-2018 AD" by Morgane Laouenan, Palaash Bhargava, Jean-Benoît Eyméoud, Olivier Gergaud, Guillaume Plique & Etienne Wasmer. The data shows only one person for each unique geographic location with the highest notability rank.
Wikimedia Research Fund Update update. "You can apply for research funds (USD 2K-50K) until December 15, 2023. While all research proposals related to Wikimedia projects are welcome, we particularly encourage research studies on medium to small size languages and communities, as well as in low resourced languages and projects."
The Wikidata For Wikimedia Projects team is investigating the different ways Wikidata is used in the sister projects. We would like to speak with you about your experiences integrating or connecting Wikidata, if you'd like to tell us, please sign up for an interview on our project page or on our Registration Form.

Development
Wikibase REST API: We are continuing the work on making it possible to remove a description in a given language from an Item, modify the label of an Item and add aliases to an Item (phab:T342986, phab:T342980, phab:T335842)
Lexicographical data: We switched the Property that is used to pre-select the spelling variant on the Special:NewLexeme page from P218 (ISO 639-1 code) to P305 (IETF language tag) to make use of the latter’s larger coverage. (phab:T348923)
EntitySchemas: We are continuing to work on addressing the feedback from the testing of the new datatype in the test system.

The Structured Content team, as part of its project of improving UploadWizard on Commons, made some UX improvements to the upload step of choosing own vs not own work (T347590), as well as to the licensing step for own work (T347756).
The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 31 October. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 November. It will be on all wikis from 2 November (calendar).
Listings on category pages are sorted on each wiki for that language using a library. For a brief period on 2 November, changes to categories will not be sorted correctly for many languages. This is because the developers are upgrading to a new version of the library. They will then use a script to fix the existing categories. This will take a few hours or a few days depending on how big the wiki is. You can read more. [3][4]
Starting November 1, the impact module (Special:Impact) will be upgraded by the Growth team. The new impact module shows newcomers more data regarding their impact on the wiki. It was tested by a few wikis during the last few months. [5]
WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.
Hello Cassiopia,
I just opened an accound and edited a suggestion "Masterbatch*. The edit summary allowed only a small amount of text, and I didn't finish writing the changes in the box. I have comments and recommendations. Can I contact the person who wrote the original text. He clearly knows what he is on about. --Bosula (talk) 16:30, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
Bosula Good day. Wikipedia's articles are edited by many editors. There are a total of 97 editors for the Masterbatch article and the original creator is User:Macrakis. Pls note that all info added or changed need to be supported by independent, reliable source for verification such as from newspapers or books. Secondly, the summary edit means editor just place a brief note of what was edited/changed/added. If you want to contact any editor, you can go to their talk page and state a message, or you can contact them on the article talk page and ping them or for those editors who would like to join in the discussion. pls go to ping to understand how to contact an editor (ping them). I do recommend you to complete WP:TWA program first to understand the some fundamental Wikipedia guidelines which would help you on editing and avoid violating of Wikipedia. Be safe and best. Cassiopeiatalk01:55, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Discussions about articles should be held on their Talk pages, not on editors' Talk pages. In the event, I know very little about masterbatches -- I started the article just to document the little I had learned. --Macrakis (talk) 14:40, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Hi! You so graciously mentioned getting in touch with you in case we (at Bloody Elbow) had some information that would be good for using as a source to edit UFC/MMA related articles. We just broke a story that reveals the payouts some top UFC stars received. I feel like these numbers would be good additions to the pages of Ronda Rousey, Conor McGregor and others. Though, I won't put those in myself because it would be a COI.
Timob85 Thank you for the info and i will see which of the info is significant enought to be added to the said pages. Btw you need to place Bloody Elbow on your COI - see How to disclose COI under WP:COI. Btw if you use Bloody Elbow as the source to edit Wikipedia article, it is not only you violate the COI but also imply promotion since you are employed by Bloody Elbow. However, you can edit any other articles which you have no relation to and provide a independent, reliable source to support the claims. Give me a few day to add the info. Be safe and best. Cassiopeiatalk02:26, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Vincentcshisaac Hi, If you look at the second decline statement on top of the Draft:Šventežeres seņūnija on 4 November 2023 by Theroadislong in the grey box, which have already outlined what is needed for the subject (Šventežeres seņūnija) to meet the notability guidlines requirements (pls click on the highlighted text for more detail info). Sources from major newspaper and books which talk about the subject in length and in dept are needed (in inline citation). Hope this help and be safe. Cassiopeiatalk02:08, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Question from Brightigbin (10:49, 5 November 2023)
Brightigbin good day. I am not sure what you meant above. If you dont remember your password to your account, you can NOT recover it as Wikipedia does not keep it or you can change your password instead you need to recreate ANOTHER account again. Cassiopeiatalk02:10, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
Question from Brightigbin (11:35, 5 November 2023)
BrightigbinThis is your edits and I have a look at your edits and your talk page you have vandalized some of the articles which I suggest you to stop them immediately for you will be banned from Wikipedia if you continue to do so and it will also blocked your from creating another account. Pls complete WP:TWA if you wish to be a good contributor and understand some of the basic Wikipedia guidelines. Cassiopeiatalk02:15, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
