Task/s: phab:T370842 and meta:Global reminder bot
Code: https://github.com/Leader-board/userrights-reminder-bot, though this is under development
Function details: See the above phabricator task. It should be noted that
- I'm submitting near-identical requests on multiple wikis, and
- I do not expect this bot to run that much (if at all) on Wikidata and will not require a bot flag; however, Wikidata:Bots explicitly mention that approval is needed (and the botflag set which I find unnecessary and even a bad idea), and
- Here's a test edit (the text will be generalised for Wikidata). Users will be able to opt-out from this using a central page on Meta.
P.S: I also noticed that it says that bot "should never be used to make non-automated edits in the user talk namespace" which my bot will do - not sure if there's a way out of that.

Oppose no thanks, see also Wikidata_talk:Bots#Is_a_bot_flag_required_for_a_bot_that_is_expected_to_make_very_few_edits_(if_any)?. Just run it on meta. Multichill (talk) 15:39, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Multichill: I'm confused - just to be clear, are you suggesting that I message users about Wikidata on Meta? Leaderboard (talk) 18:05, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Can you link examples of temporary rights on Wikidata? Sjoerd de Bruin (talk) 16:34, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Sjoerddebruin: [1], [2] and [3]. As noted above,
- Wikidata does not make that much use of temporary rights (the flooder right is automatically ignored), and
- many (but not all) of them are IPBE - some communities prefer that the bot exclude them. In that case it will run rarely, like in the case of the third example I shared above.

Task/s: This bot will add string representations of units of measurement to units of measurement Wikidata pages.
Code: The Python project on the "Units of Measurement Interoperability Service" (UMIS), that this bot will support/enable, is at https://github.com/usnistgov/nist_umis .
Function details: String representations of different units of measurement are being aligned to allow translation between different unit representation systems. As the developer of the UMIS, I have concluded that Wikidata is the best place to organize/align unit representation strings. Once available at nist.gov later this year, the UMIS website will offer additional functionality to enable users to programmatically translate between unit of representation systems, and additional functionality is planned. There are already Wikidata properties for some of the unit representation systems (e.g. QUDT) and additional ones will be requested. This is my first bot permission request so if more info is needed please let me know. --Stuart Chalk (talk) 16:44, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Task/s: Adding data about schools provided by the German and Austrian governments to wikidata.
Code: schools-bw.py; GitHub Repo mostly containing the code of the bot for the German wiki; additional code will be added soon
Function details: The bots job would include creating new Wikidata items for schools not represented yet as well as adding data like number of students, number of teachers, etc to existing wikidata items. The details of this job would vary depending on the data each state provides. A list of resources can be found here. Matching the data from official publications to wikidata items would be handled by the identifier as wikidata property (e.g. Bavarian school ID (P12350), Rhineland-Palatinate school ID (P12274)) or by the school identifier from templates in the German wiki. A consensus for such a job exists in the German wiki (see here). --DerIch27 (talk) 18:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Code: This notebook performs initial kaikki dataset analysis/cleanup. This notebook (run inside PAWS) coerces the cleaned up data to Wikidata format and performs the actual import.
Function details: We worked with the kaikki dataset, a structured parsing of wiktionary, to find relevant Albanian nouns with IPA pronunciation, remove any noisy entries, coerce the words into the lexeme format used by Wikidata, and then import them into Wikidata. --Hardwigg (talk) 12:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC) & @BrigidGit

- what json files? we need more details BrokenSegue (talk) 15:31, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- We are students from TH Köln tasked with automating the process of updating data for scientists on Wikidata. Our objective includes verifying the presence of researchers and creating entries if they are not already listed. Similarly, we extend this process to projects, such as those found in GEPRIS, where these researchers have been involved. Subsequently, our goal is to establish connections between these projects and the respective researchers.
- Our JSON files contain comprehensive data necessary for expanding information on researchers (QID, name) and their associated projects (project name, project ID) within Wikidata. This ensures that accurate and up-to-date information is seamlessly integrated into the Wikidata ecosystem.
- This approach leverages automated tools and careful data handling to contribute valuable knowledge to the scientific community on Wikidata. IliasChoumaniBot (talk) 14:35, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Browse9ja bot (talk • contribs • new items • new lexemes • SUL • Block log • User rights log • User rights • xtools)
Operator: Browse9ja
Task/s: Automated data retrieval and updates for Browse9ja project, focusing on Nigerian and African-based information, integrating a chatbot, NLP API, knowledge graph, and machine learning model.
Code: (Not applicable, as I am using a combination of existing APIs and services)
Function details:
The Browse9ja bot is designed to perform the following tasks:
- Retrieve and update data on Wikidata related to Nigerian and African-based information - Integrate with a chatbot to provide users with accurate and up-to-date information - Utilize natural language processing (NLP) API for text analysis and understanding - Contribute to the development of a knowledge graph for African-based information - Apply machine learning models to improve data accuracy and relevance
The bot will operate under the supervision of the operator (Browse9ja) and adhere to Wikidata's policies and guidelines. --Browse9ja (talk) 02:16, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
Comment OP has no track record of contributions either here or on any other project.
Question Can you please give more details of how the chatbot will be integrated? Do you intend to have an LLM suggest content to add to Wikidata? Bovlb (talk) 15:37, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Details of Chat-bot Integration as requested: My chat-bot will be integrated into the Browse9ja.com as a bot to provide users with accurate and up-to-date information related to Nigerian and African-based data on Wikidata. The integration will involve utilizing a natural language processing (NLP) API for text analysis and understanding. The Chat-bot will enable users to interact with the Browse9ja bot in a conversational manner, allowing for seamless access to information and updates on Wikidata. Additionally, the chat-bot will play a role in contributing to the development of a knowledge graph for African-based information. While the chat-bot will facilitate user interaction, the machine learning models will be applied to improve data accuracy and relevance, ensuring that the information provided is of high quality and relevance to the users.
- About LLM Content Suggestion: The chat-bot integrated with Browse9ja bot will have the capability to suggest content to add to Wikidata. Leveraging natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning models, the chat-bot will be able to analyze user queries and suggest relevant content for addition to Wikidata. This functionality aligns with the broader goal of the Browse9ja bot to automate data retrieval and updates for Nigerian and African-based information, ensuring that the information contributed to Wikidata is accurate, up-to-date, and relevant.
- Hope this clarifies my intent and would please also increase my chances for an approval.Thanks alot.

Task/s: importing financial data (assets, equity, revenue, EBIT, net profit) from openinfo.uz to entries on public Uzbek companies in Wikidata.
Code:
Function details: I have a project going with openinfo.uz which is a state-owned public portal for financial disclosures of all public Uzbek companies. All joint-stock companies and banks in Uzbekistan have to disclose their financials there by law. I have created entries for all Uzbek banks at User:Fordaemdur/Uzbek banks and would like to test imports of financial data there (Openinfo is ready to provide API for that). If successful, the bot will import financials once per quarter. Next steps would also be creating entries for all other notable public Uzbek companies, not just banks, and import financials there too. --Fordaemdur (talk) 11:14, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- How many companies are we talking about? ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 18:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- @ChristianKl, currently there items on about 50 public Uzbek companies (30+ are banks) - all can be found on my userpage. I am planning on creating items for all companies listed at the Tashkent Stock Exchange, so we'll end up with about 150 companies. There are about 600 joint-stock companies in Uzbekistan and I assume at least one third of them is notable. The test will be run on few companies - a mix of banks and corporates, and I don't expect more than 100 edits on a test run. If the test run is successful, the bot will be occupied with populating these items that i'm manually creating rn (checking notability for each individual entry before creating it). Best, --Fordaemdur (talk) 19:17, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Support adding all joint-stock companies is fine given the kind of notability rules we have. If you would want to small businesses as well, it would be a harder call whether or not to allow it. ChristianKl ❪✉❫ 11:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Task/s: Create items for books in National Diet Library (Q477675).
Function details: As part of WikiProject, items for each book in National Diet Library (Q477675) have to be created so files in Wikimedia Commons can link to Wikidata. The items will have properties DOI (P356), NDL Bib ID (P1054), publication date (P577), author (P50), main subject (P921) and others. The number of items to be created is likely to be more than 100,000. --Midleading (talk) 13:03, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Note: If item with specific NDL Authority ID (P349) does not yet exist, we need to also create an item for the author (which may include people and organizations). Also there are books not yet in public domain so can not be uploaded to Commons, but items for them can still be created. GZWDer (talk) 13:48, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

- I don't think that item is not following the guidelines at Wikidata:WikiProject_Books. BrokenSegue (talk) 17:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- What it mean: (1) any created item with a specific
DOI (P356)/JPNO (P2687)/NDL Bib ID (P1054)/publication date (P577)/place of publication (P291) should be an "edition" (instance of (P31)=version, edition or translation (Q3331189)); (2) there are possibly multiple editions of the same work, so (in the next step, after we have the edition items) we create an item for the "work" and link two items with edition or translation of (P629)/has edition or translation (P747). For example c:Category:人事興信録 contains multiple different editions of Q109727675 (a "work"), each edition have a different set of IDs. We should create items for each edition. In the future, the Commons category should be diffused to one for each edition which links to the edition item (instead of the current one for the work item).--GZWDer (talk) 03:17, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

- It was a book that later became book series. Anyway, I will use written work (Q47461344) uniformly, because this information isn't in Commons. genre (P136), official website (P856), copyright status (P6216) for work item and follows (P155), followed by (P156), genre (P136), copyright holder (P3931), official website (P856) for edition item also can't be imported. has edition or translation (P747) statements also will not have any qualifiers when imported.

Hello, I want to do this for books in National Library of Spain. I see that following Wikidata rules for books, two items are needed at least, one for the written work (Q47461344) and one for each version, edition or translation (Q3331189). I created an example for this entry in datos.bne.es:
- La vida es eterna: biografía de Víctor Jara (Q124538246): written work by Mario Amorós
- La vida es eterna: biografía de Víctor Jara (Q124537888): 2023 edition of written work by Mario Amorós
Do you think they are correct? It think that adding the "(PUBLISHER, YEAR)" in the label for each edition is useful, so you can see all that info quickly in the property has edition or translation (P747) in La vida es eterna: biografía de Víctor Jara (Q124538246). But I am open for suggestions. Of course, after we define that, I will open a request for my bot. Just wanted to use this discussion so we can unify the rules for all "book bots".

- generally looks good to me. personally I would like to see some more identifiers (see Wikidata:WikiProject_Books e.g. Library of Congress Control Number (LCCN) (bibliographic) (P1144) or Google Books ID (P675)) though having ISBN is good. Also a genre (P136) would be nice. BrokenSegue (talk) 18:27, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- oh also the description for the edition should say it's an edition (needs to be distinct from the work's description) BrokenSegue (talk) 18:29, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- "2023 edition of book by Mario Amorós"? What about writing the Spanish title in the English label? Is that OK or should I leave it blank when book hasn't been translated? Emijrp (talk) 19:19, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- oh also the description for the edition should say it's an edition (needs to be distinct from the work's description) BrokenSegue (talk) 18:29, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
- The description for both items is that it's a "book", which is the least helpful label that could possibly be used. In Wikiproject:Books, we never use the word "book" because it could mean a work, an edition, a specific copy, a section within a work, or any of a dozen other meanings. Please do not use "book" as the description for a work or an edition; it isn't helpful and does not distinguish what it is. The data item for an edition should have "edition" in the description; not in the label. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:18, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
- I just fixed the labels and descriptions for both items (written work and edition). Is OK now? Btw, I repeat the same question, is OK to use Spanish title as English label when work hasn't been translated? Emijrp (talk) 16:15, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, it is ok to use the Spanish title if the work has not been translated. Other than that, are we ready for approval? Ymblanter (talk) 19:55, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

- Good point. There are about 200k releases it could import (for about 2k packages total, so about 90 per package on average). Taking an approach similar to github-wiki-bot and only importing that could bring it down to 75k for the last 100 (33 per package on average) or 50k for the last 50 (22 pep package on average).

- i don't suppose major releases only is an option? BrokenSegue (talk) 20:54, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think there's a consistent enough definition for that. For example Home Assistant (Q28957018) now does
year.month.patch
type releases so the first digit changing isn't really meaningful. - However I can filter out all packages generated from https://github.com/vemel/mypy_boto3_builder, as those are all very similar and not intended for human use directly anywyays. That cuts the total number of versions to a third (~70k) even before doing any other per-package limits. Taavi (talk) 21:15, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

Task/s: Using information from Crossref:
- Add publication date to items where they are not present in Wikidata
- Fix publication dates where they are erroneous
Code: Will be using Pywikibot in a similar way as I have done previously with this bot
Function details: Previously this bot has been used to add CC licenses to items which has been successful. In March 2022 it was realised that other bots/tools were using the wrong date for publication date in Crossref. Since I am working with this dump, I will step up to try fix this issue.
A simpler task is to fill in the details for items without publications. I've created a set of 80k items and once given the go ahead I will contribute these dates.
The issue of the wrong dates is a little more complicated as there are some false positives on both sides of this, sometimes Crossref is wrong and sometimes Wikidata is wrong. I'm sure that Wikidata is wrong more often, however before doing any edits I will do some manual validation to check the prevalence of false positives. When I am fairly confident I will start editing and I'll see whether I can deprecate the existing statement, add a reason and add the new date as preferred. If not, due to limitations in Pywikibot, I'll remove the previous statement instead. --Carlinmack (talk) 14:31, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
Support This seems useful. However I see only one example edit for this so far, maybe you should do some more just to verify it's doing what we expect?

Note: A discussion at Wikipedia about this bot took place: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_202#Bot_to_add_short_descriptions_to_articles_in_a_category
Task/s: UrbanBot's task is to mass-add English descriptions to items that don't have one.
Code: Main repository for UrbanBot's code Source code file for task
Function details:
1. The bot operator will first enter a category name from the English Wikipedia. This category will be used to group similar pages (items on Wikidata) which will all have the same description added to them.
2. The bot operator will enter the description to be added to the pages in the Wikipedia category.
3. The bot will follow through these steps for each page:
3a. The bot will check if the Wikipedia page has a corresponding item.
3b. The bot will check if the item already has a description
3c. If the Wikipedia page has a corresponding item and the item does not already have a description, the bot will write the description specified by the bot operator in step 2 into the item.
3d. The bot will loop through to the next page in the category and run all steps in step 3 again.
Due to the bot requiring the bot operator to enter in the English Wikipedia category and the description for the items, the bot is semi-automated. I have already done the aforementioned process using the bot to add descriptions to items a few times to make sure the code was working properly.

Support Looks fine to me too, at least if you'll be following pretty much the pattern you've tested with.

ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:33, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

- @Mike Peel Not sure what you mean by English Wikipedia wanting the extra steps, but if an en-wiki article is linked to a Wikidata item with a description, the description takes the place of a short description on Wikipedia. For example, viewing this Wikipedia category with the shortdescs-in-category tool will reveal that some articles have a locally-added short description whereas one page doesn't have a short description but its corresponding Wikidata item did have a description, which took the place of a Wikipedia short description. Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk | contribs) 22:50, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
- @Mike Peel Actually, I stand corrected. I was looking through the en-wiki Wikiproject Short Descriptions (link here) and it looks like Wikidata descriptions are actually not really used as a replacement for a Wikipedia short description. Therefore, I think I will submit a bot request to en-wiki as you were correct about Short descriptions being a much higher priority on Wikipedia compared to Wikidata descriptions. I will leave this request up however, in case I run into people saying the same thing at Wikipedia as they did before. After the bot (hopefully) gets approved, I will take this one down.

Task/s: Sync links with ACMI API.
Code: https://github.com/ACMILabs/acmi-wikidata-bot/blob/main/acmi_bot.py
Function details: As part of an upcoming residency with the ACMI (Q4823962) I have written a small bot to pull Wikidata links from their public API and write back to Wikidata to ensure sync between the two resources.The plan was to integrate this as part of the build workflow for the ACMI API (https://github.com/ACMILabs/acmi-api). This is currently set to append only, not removing any links Wikidata-side. While the initial link count is only around 1500 there will likely be significant expansion in the current weeks as we identify further overlaps. --Pxxlhxslxn (talk) 00:36, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- can you add a reference? can you set an edit summary (just add a "summary" arg to the write call)? Otherwise looks good. BrokenSegue (talk) 01:23, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- Oh dear, I have tried to change the bot name and now I see I have screwed things up a bit in relation to this form (ie the discussion is still under the old name). Should I just open a new request? I have also added the edit summary to the write function. Pxxlhxslxn (talk) 10:48, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- No need to open a new request as far as I am concerned. Ymblanter (talk) 19:06, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- We have now finished the test sample group for the bot and it us working as expected, are there any other requirements or impediments to being added to the "bot" group? I also had a question about something we have encountered: code and credentials work fine when run alone as a standalone python process, but when integrated as a github action (triggered by the ACMI API build) there is a "wikibaseintegrator.wbi_exceptions.MWApiError: 'You do not have the permissions needed to carry out this action.'" error message. Has anyone ever encountered this issue before? The only factor I can think of is maybe some kind of IP block. --Pxxlhxslxn (talk) 11:52, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Operator: Danielyepezgarces (talk • contribs • logs)
Task/s: Use Alexa rank (P1661)
Code: Coming soon i publish the code
Function details: I am making a bot that can track the monthly ranking of websites based on Similarweb Ranking. The bot will receive a list of websites with their corresponding Wikidata IDs and domains to keep the data accurate.
The bot will have to use the Similarweb Top Sites API to get the traffic ranking of each website and store it in a MySQL database along with the date of the ranking. If the website already exists in the database, the bot should update its ranking and date every time there is a new ranking update.
Soon the bot will include some new features that will be communicated in the future.
- The Similarweb ranking is not this property. It is Similarweb ranking (P10768).--GZWDer (talk) 05:16, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
- If correct the bot uses the property P10768 and rewrites the old property P1661 since the public data of Alexa Rank ceased to exist,
- when I put Similarweb Ranking I don't mean the property P10768 but that the bot took the data from similarweb.com website Danielyepezgarces (talk) 16:15, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Task/s: Add licensing information to software forges entries in accordance to what is found in the corresponding Wikipedia page. It is used as a helper in the context of the Forges project
Code: https://lab.forgefriends.org/friendlyforgeformat/f3-wikidata-bot/
Function details: ForgesBot is a CLI tool designed to be used by participants in the Forges project in two steps. First it is run to do some sanity check, such as verifying forges are associated with a license. If some information is missing, the participant can manually add it or it can use ForgesBot to do so.
The implementation includes one plugin for each task. There is currently only one plugin to verify and edit the license information. The license is deduced by querying the wikipedia pages of each software: if they consistently mention the same license the edit can be done. If there are discrepancies they are reported and no action is done.

- can you go into more detail about how this lookup will be done? link to some test edits? BrokenSegue (talk) 16:36, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- @BrokenSegue: Test edits. Lookups are based on a given album identifier like for example, Spotify album ID (P2205). UPC, Spotify artist ID (P1902), artist name, number of tracks, name of tracks, ISRC (P1243), and more are compared and looked up on other streaming services API/scrapping to match "identical" relases. I have made a scoring system where only relases that score 80% or better are added by the bot. The matches that does not get published will be saved to a file for later to be added to Mix'n'match, maybe. - Premeditated (talk) 23:50, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- I believe you are misusing the inferred from (P3452) property. Look at the description of that property in English. Please go and fix all the test edits you made. Maybe you want stated in (P248) or similar.
- I think you should add a based on heuristic (P887) statement in the reference? Maybe to record linkage (Q1266546) or similar. This whole workstream seems really similar to what is/was being done by User:Soweego bot. Can you explain how you are different/the same. Maybe we should get input from @Hjfocs:.
- Can you go into more detail about what is creating these scores? How did you verify the scores are meaningful? What kind of model are you using? Is your source code available? What " looked up on other streaming services API/scrapping to match "identical" relases " are you using. Etc. BrokenSegue (talk) 16:59, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hey folks, happy to give my 2 cents. I second BrokenSegue's comments: (based on heuristic (P887), record linkage (Q1266546)) reference nodes sound good. @Premeditated: interesting project: it would be great if you could share the code and tell us something more about it.

I have imported patents data into a sql server database then i read a patent and with pywikibot i try for example to search the assignee (owned by property). If i not find a match i will search manually. only if i am sure then i insert the data into wikidata. this is because i do not want to add data with errors. For example look at Q117193724 item. LucaDrBiondi (talk) 18:27, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- @ChristianKl
- At the end i have developed a bot using pywikibot.
- It is not fully automatic because i have the property Owned_id that it is mandatory for me.
- So i verify if wikidata has already an item to use for this property.
- If I not find it then i not import the item (the patent)
- I have already loaded some houndred items like for example this Q117349404
- Do a limit of number of item that can i import each day exists?

Code: We are using WBI 12.0 for interaction with the source Wikibase, and with Wikidata.
Function details: In 2020-21, articles of the two journals (example Q108042527) have been uploaded using OpenRefine (see Q108042527 history). That dataset has several problems, such as repeated author statements (with and without "series ordinal" qualifier), incorrect issue number, DOI not present (although existing), download URL not present (although existing), etc. This proposal consists en re-writing all entries (see all using this query), using data from the newly created Inguma Wikibase (see items for these two journals using this query).

Operator: Horcrux (talk • contribs • logs)
Task/s: Replace stated in (P248) to publisher (P123) where the value is Q1158.
Problem description: In 2020 User:Reinheitsgebot made a massive addition of references in which stated in (P248)World Athletics (Q1158) have been added as claim in the reference (edit example). The operation was ok, except that World Athletics (Q1158) is an organization, not a document or a database, therefore thousands of warnings are currently raised up (example). A more suitable property is publisher (P123).
Function details: For technical reasons, I'm not able to fix the source with a single edit, so the bot will:
- copy all the claims in the reference to be removed (except for stated in (P248)World Athletics (Q1158));
- remove the problematic reference;
- add a new reference with all the claims copied plus publisher (P123)World Athletics (Q1158).
The script is ready, here a couple of edits: [4][5]. --Horcrux (talk) 09:04, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds fine though why not just remove the "Stated In" "World Atheletics" claim from the reference altogether? Surely that's implied by the athlete ID.
- BrokenSegue (talk) 16:41, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
- @BrokenSegue: Just because I'm used to be as much complete as I can when I add a reference. But yes, it would also be ok just to execute point #2. --Horcrux (talk) 19:41, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

- Hey Horcrux, are you still interested in doing those edits?
Support from me! I also see stated in (P248) + a specific external ID property as a great combo, by the way. I'd say that's how they are usually used as well? The UseAsRef userscript also creates references like that. --Azertus (talk) 17:37, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Task/s: Account for mapping Wikidata with General Finnish Ontology (Q27303896) and the YSO-places ontology by adding YSO ID (P2347) and for creating new corresponding concepts in case there are no matches.
Code: n/a. Uploads will be done mainly with Openrefine, Mix'n'Match and crresopoinding tools.
Function details: YSO includes over 40.000 concepts and about half of them are already maapped. The mapping includes
- adding possible missing labels in Finnish, Swedish and English
- adding YSO ID (P2347) with subject named as (P1810) values from YSO
- adding stated in (P248) with value YSO-Wikidata mapping project (Q89345680) and retrieved (P813) with the date.
Matches are checked manually before upload. Double-checking is controlled afterwords by using the Constraint violations report

- The bot was running without approval (this page was never included). I asked the operator to first get it approved. Can you please explain the creation of museum (Q113965327) & theatre (Q113965328) and similar duplicate items? Multichill (talk) 16:27, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
- museo (Q113965327) & teatteri (Q113965328) are part of the Finnish National Land Survey classification for places. These classes will be mapped with existing items if they are exact matches by using Property:P2959.
- Considering duplicate YSO-ID instances: these are most often due to modeling differences between Wikdata and YSO. Some concepts are split in the other one and vice versa. These are due to linguistic and cultural differences in vocabularies and concept formation. Currently the duplicates would be added to the exceptions list in the YSO-ID property P2347. However, lifting the single value constraint for this proerty is another options here.
- Anyway, YSObot is currently an important tool in efforts to complete the mappings of the 30.000+ conepts of YSO with Wikidata. Uploads of YSO-IDs are made to reconciled items from OpenRefine. See YSO-Wikidata mapping project and the log of YSObot. For the moment, uploads are done usually only to 10-500 items at time few times per day max. Saarik (talk) 13:46, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

Oppose this bot. You should first clean up all these duplicates before doing any more edits with this bot. @Susannaanas: care to comment on this? Multichill (talk) 09:58, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
- This bot is very important, we just need to reach common understanding about how to model the specific Finnish National Land Survey concepts. I have myself struggled with them previously. There is no need to oppose to the bot itself. – Susanna Ånäs (Susannaanas) (talk) 18:02, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
- why do we want to maintain permanently duplicated items? this seems like a bad outcome. why not instead make these subclasses of the things they are duplicates of. or attach the identifier to already existing items. BrokenSegue (talk) 20:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

- I think this discussion went a little astray from the original purpose of YSObot.
- The creation of the Finnish National Land Survey place types were erroneously made with the YSObot account although they are not related to YSO at all. I was adding them manually with Openrefine but forgot to change the user ids in my Openrefine! I though that that would not be a big issue. The comments by @Multichilland @BrokenSegue are not really related to the original use of YSObot and do not belong here at all but rather to Q106589826 Talk page.
- About the duplicate question - Earliear, I did exactly that and added these to already existing items with "instance of" property. THe I received feedback and was told to create separate items for the types. So now I am getting to totally opposite instructions from you guys. Lets move this discussion to its proper place.
- And please, add the correct rights for this bot account, if they are still missing as we still need to add the remaining 10.000+ identifiers. Saarik (talk) 11:32, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Oppose as per above. If you refrain from creating new items I would probably support it if I could easily see the flow of logic.
- I strongly encourage you to publish an actvity planuml diagram showing he logic of the matching.

Task/s:
Create between 100,000 and 200,000 new lexemes in Aragonese language Aragonese (Q8765)
Code:
Function details: --Aradgl (talk) 19:43, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
Using a small program and the api, the bot will create new lexemes in Aragonese specifying the lexical category, the language and some of its forms
I have about 30,000 lexemes prepared and I have started uploading them
In the coming weeks and months I hope to reach 100,000 or 200,000 new lexemes.
Oppose on principle, since senses (meanings) of these words, or links to references for each lexeme (such as to dictionary entries for these words, or other lexical identifiers for these words) are not also being provided. We already have massive backlogs of senseless lexemes for a bunch of languages (see the bottom of the first table); I will not support making this backlog inordinately larger. Mahir256 (talk) 20:58, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
- We understand your observations. You are right that no meanings or links are provided at this stage. However, this is only natural since this is the beginning of a broader task that we are starting now.
- Due to the lack of resources of a minority language such as Aragonese (spoken by less than 30.000 people), we believe this is the most sensible way to proceed: step by step. Moreover, Aragonese is on the brink of extinction according to UNESCO.
- Undermining any effort to dignify its status will definitely will speed up the death of the Aragonese language. On the contrary, we ask for support to promote our beloved language.
- Thank you very much. Aradgl (talk) 18:46, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Aradgl: I'm not sure where you're getting that I'm interested in undermining Aragonese's dignity or speeding up the death of Aragonese. On the contrary, I'd love to see Aragonese thrive as an independent and flourishing tongue, but there should be just enough in that language's lexemes to begin with such that improvements to them, both from inside and outside the language community, are actually conceivable. Consider Breton lexemes: the language itself is also endangered, and most Breton lexemes currently do not have senses, but they do have links to Lexique étymologique du breton moderne (Q19216625), so that someone else (not necessarily a Breton speaker) can come by and at least add information based on that lexicon (@VIGNERON, Envlh:, who imported them). On the other hand, consider Estonian lexemes; an Estonian non-native speaker created a bunch of them over the course of a few days, all of them without senses, and most still sit as empty shells, with no clear way for non-Estonians to improve them and no indication that actual Estonian speakers even know they exist. I am happy to look around for references you could add to potential Aragonese lexemes, such that you can add some potential resource links based on them, but that is not a reason to begin importing them now without any such resources (especially since you have not indicated how/when you plan to add senses/resource links later). Mahir256 (talk) 20:01, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Mahir256 Right now we are discussing our timetable in order to implement next steps within Wikidata, with the prospect of relating lexemes with concepts and meanings. We count on finishing the first phase by the end of 2022.
- By no means have we wanted to create lexemes as “empty shells”. We are working in a long-term project in order to provide valuable information for the sake of Aragonese language. We are working together with our Occitan counterparts (Lo Congrès) and in fact, we want to follow their example promoting further contributions from the community. Our reference is AitalDisem, a project initiated by Lo Congrès following its collaboration with Wikidata. This project is the direct continuation of the project AitalvivemBot. Aradgl (talk) 15:09, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Aradgl: I'll believe that you don't want to create empty shell lexemes, but I find it difficult to believe, given the prior examples of Russian, Estonian, Latin, and Hebrew lexemes, that they won't stay empty shells forever. If you are basing your work on the example of Aitalvivem, then (at least judging from that bot's contributions, which stopped in July 2019) you are not likely to be applying the right amount of attention to senses/resource linkages that would be desired, and (at least judging from the outcome of this bot request, from a user who disappeared after January 2020) you might disappear if prompted later about them.
- You speak of wanting to add "valuable information for the sake of the language", but I fear that if there are no paths to this valuable information (with respect to the meanings of words) early on, then it is unlikely there ever will be such paths. If you are absolutely certain that existing printed/online references about Aragonese are not suitable/worthy of at least being linked to, and thus plan to essentially only crowdsource word meanings the same way the Occitan folks appear to have attempted, then what you could instead do (and what would change my opposition to a support) is have your system create lexemes only when an appropriate meaning has been added to that lexeme in that system by a community member, rather than creating lexemes with just the forms all at once waiting to be filled in on Wikidata. Mahir256 (talk) 15:37, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Mahir256: I'm the one who was supposed to continue the work about the AitalvivemBot. Unfortunately, I suffer since March 2020 from long covid and all my works has been postponed. But we still intend to add occitan lexemes in Wikidata, if it's something that you think can be useful. I thought that the purpose of Wikidata lexeme was to inventory words from languages. I never heard we needed to add senses to them as a mandatory requirement. Is that like this, now ? If it is, of course we wouldn't disturb the work done in Wikidata by uploading a lot of words without senses. Minority languages, indeed, don't have a lot of human and financial means and we can't move forward at the speed the main languages do (you see it with occitan, one person is sick and many works are postponed for years). Of course, we can't guarantee all the words we upload will be related to a meaning. But we intend to try with the poor means we have. In the other hand, all our words are from recognized dictionaries. Is that still interesting for Wikidata or will it be better if we keep them for ourselves ?

- @Aradgl: this is a wonderful project but I have to agree with Mahir256, this doesn't seems ready yet (for Breton, after a ~4000 lexemes import and even with some info for the meaning, I estimated at least a year of manual work every week to have good lexemes :/ this is already painfull, 100,000 to 200,000 lexemes wouldbe overwhelming).
- I have some additionnal questions :
- what is the source ? and is it public or not ? (in both case, it would be better to indicate the source in the lexemes themselves)
- is you bot ready yet ; if so, could you do some test edit (like creating 10 lexemes) so we can better see exactly what we are talking about and maybe provide some help.
- Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 13:23, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- @VIGNERON: It seems like the edits the requestor has been making in the Lexeme namespace of late resemble those described in this request. Mahir256 (talk) 16:09, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
- @Mahir256: ah thanks, I looked at the bot edit but notat the account behind the bot ;) Indeed, these lexemes are way to empty to have any use. At the very very least, you need to add a source (and ideally, multiple). Maybe you can cross it with other dataset. I'm also wondering, why « between 100,000 and 200,000 » don't you have the exact number?
- Also, I'm pinging @Fjrc282a, Herrinsa, Jfblanc, Universal Life: who speak Aragonese and might want to know about this Bot and maybe even want to help.

- The source used is from the regional government of Aragon in Spain. It can be consulted with the free and public tool: Aragonario. https://aragonario.aragon.es/
- The bot is created and working. Almost all the lexemes created by the user @Aradgl have been created using the bot.
- Please,

- Mahir256
- , unlock my user account (@Aradgl) and allow me to continue working for the protection and dissemination of the Aragonese language.
- Aradgl (talk) 06:54, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Aradgl: Thank you for finally providing at least an external source for the lexemes you have created. Since it appears each lexeme has its own ID (the number "67731" in https://aragonario.aragon.es/words/67731/, for example), I would like you to do the following first: 1) propose a Wikidata property to store these IDs (maybe call it "Aragonario ID"), 2) once that property is created and I unblock you from the lexeme namespace, add values for this property to all of the Aragonese lexemes already created, and then 3) commit to only creating lexemes alongside their Aragonario IDs, rather than without these IDs. Mahir256 (talk) 07:13, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Aradgl: As a gesture of goodwill, I have gone ahead and did the first thing, proposing Wikidata:Property proposal/Aragonario ID which I will insist @Aradgl, Uesca: add to the lexemes they created first before creating any further new ones. Mahir256 (talk) 23:04, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- It is not possible to add the AragonarioID because both the Aragonario and my data come from the same database on a server, but the AragonarioID only exists on the Aragonario's website (the Aragonario's id is generated by the Aragonario's website and it is not in the database of the server that belongs to the Government of Aragon).
- As we have already indicated, we are proposing the introduction of the Aragonese language in Wikidata in several phases that include its provision of content and even in the final phases the use of Wikidata to create chats in Aragonese, translators, etc.
- The first phase consists of uploading the lexemes so that later other classmates manually add the meaning using dictionaries (on paper) and other resources. We would have liked to have all the lexemes (without meaning) created previously because it would have been easier, but given the circumstances, some colleagues have already begun to add meaning to the lexemes already created. The more lexemes (without meaning) I have created, the easier it will be for my classmates to add meanings, in fact, the ideal would be for all the lexemes (without meaning) created to start with phase two.
- I wish we had the means and resources to tackle all the work in a single phase and a very short period of time, but this is not the case, there are very few of us who work for the defense and safeguard of Aragonese and many who put obstacles in our way to achieve it.
- Can you please let me continue with my work? Don't give us bot permissions, but don't block us for creating lexemes in Aragonese. We will be adding meaning manually from now on to the lexemes and at the same time creating new lexemes (without meaning). Aradgl (talk) 08:15, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
