Interesting. There are 3 #wikidata properties (all phonetics related) that have a URL formatter that doesn't resolve to an external website or something like that but rather trigger a wikidata search for items that have the same property-value pair: w.…

Mein Vormittag auf der WikiCon war bisher von #Wikidata geprägt:
Erst eine Einführung ins Angeben von Quellen bzw. Fundstellen bei Wikifata. Viele Angaben in der Datenbank sind noch immer mit Wikipedia "belegt" (importiert). Das soll sukzessive mit externen Quellen ersetzt werden.
Danach hat Kristbaum (@…

Good thing that came out of #FediDay for me: I pitched my idea for multilingual and disambiguated hashtags based on #Wikidata QIDs. After a great exchange of ideas I now have a very clear idea for a prototype and an FEP that I could write.

That's a really important colleciton of essays for #wikidata and #glam / reasearch:

Wikidata e la ricerca. Condividere esperienze / Wikidata and Research. Sharing Experiences
Il volume raccoglie gli atti del convegno internazionale “Wikidata e la ricerca”, organizzato dall’Università di Firenze e Wikimedia Italia (5-6 giugno 2025), frutto della collaborazione tra mondo accademico, volontari dei progetti Wikimedia, bibliotecari e professionisti dei dati. Esplorando le sinergie tra ricerca e Wikidata e Wikibase, i contributi coprono diverse aree disciplinari (digital humanities, studi classici, storico-territoriali, storico-artistici e scientifici) e affrontano…

I wrote a blog post on using #Wikifunctions to determine the correct German article (der, die, or das) for a noun. It's an explainer for a tool I recently wrote and walks through calling Wikifunctions and how to fetch lexical data from #Wikidata.

Calling Wikifunctions for der, die, das
One of the least favorite parts for learners of German are the grammatical genders. At times it can feel like a tiny bureaucratic prank designed to test a learner’s patience. Articles seem to obey secret laws: der Tisch, die Tür, das Mädchen. While there are patterns, there are also enough exceptions to make confidence wobble. For learners, the frustration is not just remembering vocabulary, but remembering each noun with its gender attached. There’s no shortcut but learning them by heart.
