Facto Post – Issue 2 – 13 July 2017
Facto Post – Issue 2 – 13 July 2017 Editorial: Core models and topicsWikimedians interest themselves in everything under the sun — and then some. Discussion on "core topics" may, oddly, be a fringe activity, and was popular here a decade ago. The situation on Wikidata today does resemble the halcyon days of 2006 of the English Wikipedia. The growth is there, and the reliability and stylistic issues are not yet pressing in on the project. Its Berlin conference at the end of October will have five years of achievement to celebrate. Think Wikimania Frankfurt 2005. Progress must be made, however, on referencing "core facts". This has two parts: replacing "imported from Wikipedia" in referencing by external authorities; and picking out statements, such as dates and family relationships, that must not only be reliable but be seen to be reliable. In addition, there are many properties on Wikidata lacking a clear data model. An emerging consensus may push to the front key sourcing and biomedical properties as requiring urgent attention. Wikidata's "manual of style" is currently distributed over thousands of discussions. To make it coalesce, work on such a core is needed. Links

Bot watchlist size
Regarding MicrobeBot: Hey there. Looks like your bot's watchlist has grown to a very large size, and our website's database administrators are interested in wiping the watchlist to save space. 1) Do they have your permission to do this? You can post a quick statement of permission in this Phabricator thread, or ping me and I'll tell them. 2) If your bot doesn't need to use its watchlist, can you look into making your bot not watchlist pages? This may involve logging into your bot's account, going to preferences, going to the watchlist sub-tab, and unticking a setting such as "Add pages I create and files I upload to my watchlist". Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 23:48, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Novem Linguae: Thanks for the heads up. I cleared the watchlist for MicrobeBot and disabled the auto-add option you mentioned. Let me know if anything else is needed. Thanks! Andrew Su (talk) 18:20, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
