Wikidata/Berlin summit 2012/story boards

presented by Katie: slides: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikidata_story_boards.pdf

• Overview of rejected ideas
• Overview of not-yet-rejected ideas
  • Presentation of scenarios (worked out during last weeks)
  • linked data and "links" in wikipedia (existing ones)

Katie/presentation questions:

• Q: Is an [edit] link +dialog box a good way? Or what brilliant idea do you have?
• A: The best way to do is that it sucks most for everybody

• Q: Sorting and sort order for interlanguage links?
• A by Siebrand: We can do smarter stuff depending on the backend system available using tarbits(?)
• A: "Magic sorting" (sorting per-user depending on the most visited links)

• Q: Duplicate language links (local + wikidata) or local overrides wikidata links? another way?
  • comment WD team: Use case: 0.8% of language links. Wikidata does only 1:1 relationships
  • comment Siebrand: w/ Wikilinks?
  • comment Timo: page has a data object with only one link

• Q: Do we lose section links? [Daniel K]

• Suggestion: Duplicate links to the same language should be differentiated somehow.
• Present local links in a way the user can distinguish? ("Why I have two different links linking to the same language?")
• Introduce a config variable?
• See also https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24502#c11

• Brandon on using dialog:
  • Should be injected, power user tool, maybe restructure separating local language links into another modal on top of the modal
  • comment Brandon (slide "Migrate local links to Wikidata"): Using a wizard, using a modal dialog over the modal dialog with the list of links
