== Rendering of coordinate values ==
Line 47 ⟶ 36:
:That's ''because of'' the precisions. In Wikibase, the precision determines how precisely the coordinates should be displayed. Without it, it doesn't know whether a value of "1" is intended to be to the nearest degree (i.e. 1°), the nearest minute (i.e. 1° 0'), or even the nearest 0.001 seconds (i.e. 1° 0' 0.000"). A precision of 0.013482119238374° means to the nearest 48.5 seconds, approximately, so that's what it rounds it to. The result is strange because the data itself is strange.

:Terminology matters, and the original bot policies are probably not clear anymore to the current generation Wikidata editors. With tools like OpenRefine and QuickStatements), I have the impression it is no longer clear what is "bot" and what is not. You can now easily create hundreds of items with either of these tools (and possibly others) in a editor-driven manner. I agree it is time to update the Wikidata policies around important. One thing to make clear is the distinction mass creation of items and mass import (the latter can also be mass importing annotations and external identifiers, or links between items, without creating items). -- [[User:Egon Willighagen|Egon Willighagen]] ([[User talk:Egon Willighagen|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 08:04, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
::I totally agree. Since I joined around 2019 I have really struggled to understand what is okay and not when it comes to mass-edits and mass-imports. I have had a few bot requests declined.

:I agree that we need an updated policy that is simple to understand. I also really like the idea of raising the quality of existing items. Therefore, I would like the policy to recommend that, or to even make an exception for preapproval if, there is a documented plan to weave the imported data into the existing data in a meaningful way. I don't know exactly how it could be formulated, but creating inbound links and improving the data beyond the source should be behavior we want to see, whereas just duplicated data on orphaned items is what we don't want to see. And obviously, these plans need to be completed before new imports can be made, gaming the system will, as usual, not be allowed.

:In general, any proposal that adds bureaucracy that makes it harder for people to contribute should start wtih explaining what problem it wants to solve.

There are many different discussions going on here on Wikidata. Anyone can open a discussion about anything if they feel the need. External discussions outside of Wikidata can evaluate or reflect Wikidata project, but should not be used to make decisions about Wikidata.
This discussion scope is a bit confusing. By mass import I mean a one-time machine conversion of an existing database into wikidata. However, the examples given relate to items created manually and occasionally over a long period of time. In relation to this activity, they do not make sense. If 99 items of a certain type are made in a few years, everything is fine, and as soon as the hundredth item have to be made, we suddenly start treating the topic as "mass import" and start demanding a previous discussion? That makes absolutely no sense. For this, we have the rules of notability, and they apply already for the first such item, they have no connection with "mass imports".
As I mentioned above, I would like to each (really) mass import have its own documentation project page, from which it would be clear who did the import, according to what policies, and whether someone is taking care of the continuous updating of the imported data. It is possible to appeal to mass importers to start applying such standards in their activities. It is also possible to mark existing items with some flags that indicate which specific workgroup (subproject) takes care of maintaining and updating the item. --[[User:ŠJů|ŠJů]] ([[User talk:ŠJů|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:06, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
: Maybe using the existing "bot requests" process is overkill for this (applying for a bot flag shouldn't be necessary if you are just doing QS or Openrefine work), but it does seem like there should be either some sort of "mass import requests" community approval process, or as [[User:ŠJů|ŠJů]] suggests, a structural prerequisite (documentation on a Wikiproject or something of that sort). And I do agree if we are not talking about a time-limited threshold for this then 100 is far too small. Maybe 10,000?

::There are imports based on existing identifiers - these should be documented on property talkpages (e.g. ''new mass import of newly created identifiers every month, usually using QS''). Next big group is import of existing geographic features (which can be photographed) - these have coordinates, so are visible on maps. Some of them are in focus of few people only. Maybe document them in country wikiproject? [[User:JAn Dudík|JAn Dudík]] ([[User talk:JAn Dudík|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:49, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
:My thoughts on this matter :
:* we indeed need a page (maybe a policy, maybe just a help page, a recommandation, a guideline, etc.) to document how to do good mass-import
:* mass-import should be defined in more precise terms, is it only creation? or any edits? (they are different but both could be problematic and should be documented)
:* 100 items is very low
:** we are just the 2nd of September and 3 people already created more than 100 items ! in August, 215 people created 100 or more items, the community can't process that much
:** I suggest at least 1000, maybe 10 000 items (depends if we focus only on creations or on any edits)
:* no time span is strange, is it even a mass-import if someone create one item every month for 100 months? since most mass-import are done by tools, most are done in a small period, a time span of a week is probably best
:* the quantity is a problem but the quality should also be considered, also the novelty (it's not the same thing to create/edit items following a well know model and to create a new model rom scratch, the second need more review)
:* could we act on [[Wikidata:Notability]], mass-import should be "more" notable? or at least, notability should be more thoroughly checked?
:** the 2 previous point are based on references which is often suboptimal right now (most imports are from one source only, when crossing multiple references should be encouraged if possible)
:* the bot policies (especially [[Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot]]) probably need an update/reform too
:* finally, there is a general problem concerning a lot of people but there is mainly a few power-user who are borderline abusing the ressources of Wikidata ; we should focus the second before burden the second, it would be easier and more effective (ie. dealing with one 100 000 items import rather than with 1000 imports of 100 items).

* I have two points to make at this stage. Firstly, I think the limit of 100 items is way too low. To give an example from my own experience, when I created items for streets of some Warsaw boroughs using OpenRefine, there were usually around 200-300 items created per borough (and Warsaw has 18 of those). I find it more harmful than beneficial to force users to go through a lenthy process with that sort of scale of work. Secondly, I would like to see a written policy draft before giving my final opinion. From what I read here, I'm still not sure if it would be ok to create, let's say 150 items per day using, for instance, Mix'n'Match or Cradle, which are hardly automated tools. [[User:Powerek38|Powerek38]] ([[User talk:Powerek38|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 15:54, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
*:I think when planning an import the key question to ask is "how many items would it be if replicated worldwide?" For streets, that would be a very large number, so I think there would be valid concerns about that. While I'd not argue for a moratorium on new ideas while we back-fill, we don't want hugely inconsistent data coverage, so a plan how the idea would be replicated systemwide is key. [[User:Vicarage|Vicarage]] ([[User talk:Vicarage|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 16:02, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
*::{{ping|Vicarage}} it seems too restrictive to only think in term of {{P|31}}. Not all streets are the same ; in some places, there is easily 2-3 good references even for small streets, in other places it's hard to find even one reference (same goes for other aspects, like do we already have items that needs this streets, like buildings located or people born there). The first should be imported, not the second. It's inconsistent if you look at the P31, but it's consistent if you look at data quality.

*:::Perhaps the 4000odd Warsaw streets were notable, but its probably an order of magnitude more than the notable inhabitants of such a historic city. Its one reason why a mass import needs to be documented to convince others of its merit. There is a danger that people sneak in trivial things under the 'structural need' argument, as part of pet project, and we get the inconsistent data quality neither of us want. Its a problem that bots can pour data in, but humans to decide on quality.

Hello, from my point of view, there would be some questions regarding such a policy, like:
* What is the actual goal of the policy? What is is trying to achive? How will this goal be achivied?
* Is it only a recommendation for orientation (which easily can be ignored)?
* Is this policy realized in a technical manner, so users are blocked automatically? Currently, for example ''QuickStatements'' already implements some policy and disables the creation of new objects with the error massage: ''Cannot automatically assign ID: As part of an anti-abuse measure, this action can only be carried out a limited number of times within a short period of time. You have exceeded this limit. Please try again in a few minutes.'' How will the new policy be different from the current ''anti-abuse'' policy?
* Who will control and decide, if the policy if followed/ignored and how? What are the consequences if the policy is ignored?
* Does this policy only include objects without sitelinks or also objects with sitelinks to any language version or project like wikisource, commons, wikivoyage, wikibooks, ...?
* Does this policy only concern the creation of new objects or also the modification of existing objects?
* How is quality defined regarding this policy? How and by whom will be decided if a user and/or user task is accepted for a higher limit?
* There are always thousands of unconnected articles and categories in any language version and project (including commons), for example
* https://wikidata-todo.toolforge.org/duplicity/#/
** https://wikidata-todo.toolforge.org/duplicity/#/stats/plwiki
** https://wikidata-todo.toolforge.org/duplicity/#/stats/nowiki

[[File:AutoSuggestSitelink 2023-02-15-Luis Giraldo.png|thumb|AutoSuggestSitelink-Gadget]]
Who will connect them to existing objects (if existing) or create new objects if not yet existing and when (especially, if there is a new artificial limit to create such objects)? Will someone implement and operate a bot for all 300 wikipedia language versions and all articles, all categories (including commonscats), all templates, all navigation items, ... to connect sitelinks to existing objects or create new objects if not yet existing?
From my point of view, time and ressources should be spent on improving processes and tools and help, support and educate people in order to improve data quality and completeness. For example, in my opionion the [[:meta:AutosuggestSitelink]]-Gadget should be activated for all users on all language versions per default in the future.

''' Development '''
* Wikidata Query Service:
** The WMF Search Platform team is putting the finishing touches on the new Query Service servers that contain the two parts of the split graph.
** We are analyzing which percentage of current queries are better served by other systems like the REST API or search.
* Wikimedia projects integration:
** We have worked on moving the Wikidata Item link out of the toolbox section of the sidebar of an article. It has been rolled out to the first wikis: ukwiki, hewiki, fawiki ([[phab:T66315]])
** We are working on decreasing the amount of irrelevant changes from Wikidata in the watchlist and recent changes on Wikipedia and co by correcting the tracking behaviour of the Lua function mw.wikibase.entity:getSitelink() ([[phab:T295356]])
* Wikibase REST API: We continued improving errors and error messages.

== Help the Wikimedia Foundation learn more about on-wiki collaborations ==
The [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns Campaigns team] at the Wikimedia Foundation is exploring how to expand it's work on campaigns, to support other kinds of collaboration. We are interested in learning from diverse editors that have experience joining and working on WikiProjects, Campaigns, and other kinds of on-wiki collaboration. We need your help:
* Take a survey about your experience with collaborations: [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScKWHPjSjSqOmca8E-eQl1HHUxYRbB4QeEV3zR2bd1_tcwuMg/viewform?usp=sf_link on Google Docs]
* Share examples of Collaborations or WikiProjects that have worked for you: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/WikiProjects
Whatever input you bring to the two spaces will help us make better decisions about next steps beyond the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Foundation_Product_Team current tools we support].

== Label of P813 ==
