- Roy Smith. I'm interested in phab:T72239. See this thread on en for some background. My original thought (before I knew null revisions existed) was to query both the revision and log tables and interpolate the events from them. Looking at the two approaches, I can see advantages to either. The display time interpolation doesn't require changing how data is written, but it does require more database queries at display time. I've been looking to get involved in mediawiki development, and this seems like it might be a good starter project. I'm a recently retired software engineer, most recently with Google. I don't always like to admit it, but I have done some PHP development in my past :-)

magic word. Such a magic word has been requested for ages (phabricator:T4085), and would in the past have caused problems with the cache; I would appreciate any information on how feasible it would be to introduce this today. --Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE) (talk) 16:27, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

- Wikibase: Starting with a fresh Wikibase 1.30 docker instance, I'm trying to align properties to external RDF vocabularies. It looks like
canonicalUriProperty
as documented in options.wiki is what I'm looking for, but testing that by:
- Creating properties
P21
andP22
with data typestring
, andP23
with data typeexternal-id
- Changing
extensions/Wikibase/repo/config/Wikibase.default.php
to have'formatterUrlProperty' => 'P21', 'canonicalUriProperty' => 'P22'
- Giving
P23
a statement ofP21 = https://example.org/url-formatter/$1
andP22 = https://example.org/canonicalURI/$1
- Creating a new item
Q16
with statementsP23 = 123
... results in Q16 getting the URL formatted in HTML to point to https://example.org/url-formatter/123, but not showing any corresponding mapping for P22 when I request the RDF representation in Turtle. What am I missing? Thanks! Dan scott (talk) 14:04, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
- Resolution: the required code is in the 1.31 release, which is not yet in the docker image (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T197212 is tracking that task) Dan scott (talk) 16:00, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
