Wikidata weekly summary #611

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

Discussions

• New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)

Events

• Upcoming: The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 17th January 2024 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group. The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what they have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.
• Past
  • Provenance Loves Wiki (PLW24), Jan 12th - 14th, research and data on the origin of artworks and cultural heritage and how Wikibase and Wikidata can support this.
  • WikiLovesWomen #SheSaid campaign wrapped up the 2023 campaign by visiting Kinshasha and Kisangani, where local Wikimedians improved quotes from women on FR Wikipedia and Wikidata.

Tech News: 2024-03

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Recent changes

• Pages that use the JSON contentmodel will now use tabs instead of spaces for auto-indentation. This will significantly reduce the page size. [1]
• Gadgets and personal user scripts may now use JavaScript syntax introduced in ES6 (also known as "ES2015") and ES7 ("ES2016"). MediaWiki validates the source code to protect other site functionality from syntax errors, and to ensure scripts are valid in all supported browsers. Previously, Gadgets could use the requiresES6 option. This option is no longer needed and will be removed in the future. [2]
• Bot passwords and owner-only OAuth consumers can now be restricted to allow editing only specific pages. [3]
• You can now thank edits made by bots. [4]
• An update on the status of the Community Wishlist Survey for 2024 has been published. Please read and give your feedback.

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 January. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 January. It will be on all wikis from 18 January (calendar). [5][6]
• Starting on January 17, it will not be possible to login to Wikimedia wikis from some specific old versions of the Chrome browser (versions 51–66, released between 2016 and 2018). Additionally, users of iOS 12, or Safari on Mac OS 10.14, may need to login to each wiki separately. [7]
• The jquery.cookie module was deprecated and replaced with the mediawiki.cookie module last year. A script has now been run to replace any remaining uses, and this week the temporary alias will be removed. [8]

Future changes

• Wikimedia Deutschland is working to make reusing references easier. They are looking for people who are interested in participating in individual video calls for user research in January and February.

A photograph that may contain Minister Vương Tứ Đại (王賜大)

KITLV 85885

Hi, Donald Trung,

I've been searching since you asked me earlier if I'd seen a portrait of Minister Vương Tứ Đại (王賜大). I've made some new findings in these days and I'm sharing them with you here.

Here is a photo (KITLV 85885) taken during the visit of Andries Cornelis Dirk de Graeff to French Indochina. As you can see, most of the people in the photos are mandarins we know very well. From left: Tôn Thất Hân, Nguyễn Hữu Bài, Bửu Liêm, Phạm Liệu, Thái Văn Toản, (?), and Bửu Thạch. Here is the key: who is the second from the right?

As you might have realised, apart from the Regent Tôn Thất Hân, the Duke of Hoài-Ân Bửu Liêm, and the person we don't know, all the others were ministers at the time (1930). At this point, we find that three of the seven Ministers (if the President of Ton-Nhon is also regarded as a Minister) were not present in this photo: Võ Liêm (武濂), Minister of Rites, Vương Tứ Đại (王賜大), Minister of Public Works and Tôn Thất Đàn (尊室檀), Minister of Justice. We've already seen portraits of Võ Liêm ([1]) and Tôn Thất Đàn ([2]).

KITLV 11787

Here is another group photograph (KITLV 11787) of the same event. As you can see, Tôn Thất Đàn was not in either of these two photos (Đàn is an old man with a long beard, thus a recognisable image). What about Võ Liêm? In KTLV 11787, He's third from the right in the second row, wearing glasses. And the unknown man wearing glasses in KITLV 85885 is standing behind Mr Nguyen Huu Bai in this photo, not wearing glasses (Note the shape of his face, don't confuse him with Mr Vo Liem).

By now, I could judge that the unknown man in both photos, is very likely to be the Minister of Public Works we have been looking for - Mr Vương Tứ Đại (王賜大).

Btw, Another photo you uploaded, taken in 1932, also shows such a man who looks similar to him standing with other ministers. 源義信 (talk) 11:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

源義信, wow, great research. Thank you for notifying me about these developments. 😀😀😀 — Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 12:21, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
