Users by language

A Wikimedian from Portugal (GMT +0 DST). Distracful. WD is more technical than the other projects and while I can explore thru UIs most of WD's power is useless to me; I'm limited to manual editing. I don't know neither query nor programming languages, the only computer languages I know are markup ones[lower-alpha 1], so I stand out from the others here for that; Otherwise I'm a polyglot: fluent in English and Portuguese, my native language is Portuguese[lower-alpha 2] and my first was French, which I'm relearning. Plus thanks to mutual intelligibilities, I can handle some Castilian[lower-alpha 3] and other Spanish languages,[lower-alpha 4] and improvise for the others in the Romance branch, obviously getting progressively harder and harder. Don't worry, I know about the Scots Wikipedia controversy (Q115755869).

Misc feedback[edit]

As I browse/use Wikidata I might try to put down some impressions (fleeting, easy to forget) and thoughts (also easy to forget), which might not apply as I learn more. so take it with a salty grain ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Clarify what to do when there's no proper sources to cite for a given item, specially at the lower end of notability
  • Wikidata is all about data, let's make the metadata about a given item (and edit history) more obvious,[lower-alpha 5] to help users better judge the quality of our content, and therefore we should show:
      • the number of total/recent pageviews/edit count/amount of different editors/amount of manual edits vs (semi)auto (which is correlated to the amount of human attention, which is correl. to 'quality');
      • along other things link How many items link back to it?
      • the amount of references or lack thereof, and the sources of those refs (as correlators of reference reliability),[lower-alpha 6]
      • and how many of the edits are (semi)automated vs manual?
    • Same as the above but for the other projects: turn the gets-the-job-done sitelinks-and-badges system into something that clarify if it's a permastub or a list, whether it's a mediocre/decent but not GA/FA tier article, (that wip ORES score is for that innit?), and other things that matter just as much as (or more than) the content it might contain
  • Ability to semi-auto create lists according to rule, like Category: namespace but based on UI-inputten query (could be a potential Wikipedia feature?)

UI and UX[edit]

Make the UI more user-friendly for the casual/passerby/distractful editors (not power-users) like me:

  • table of contents, let me jump to the identifiers/sitelinks right from the top;
  • Ability to visually collapse a given statement (scrolling thru all of a software's version history is tiring)
  • Better highlight the rank button, and the lack/presence of references, they can be easy to miss specially if you're distracted
  • Hover-popup gadget should be adapted to ignore the non-wikitext links, instead of giving technobabble on them[lower-alpha 7]

QoL tweaks:

  • up/down ranking an item's description by lang. Upranked ones would always display: used to identify the item's main lang, from which one should translate from. filler/copypasted ones like 'wkmd project/category page' etc are downranked by default.

Footnotes[edit]

  1. ↑ maybe a script lang or 2 too
  2. ↑ surprising innit
  3. ↑ better know as Spanish, as it is the country's ""'main'"" language
  4. ↑ except for Basque
  5. ↑ not like as part of the statements, but show like an infobox with chosen metadata
  6. ↑ as in: national libraries are high, respected academia is high; infotainment is low, user-genned content sites are low; etc
  7. ↑ I know it's not meant for WD, but I need it for the diffs/hist; in the meanwhile I have turned-on the WD-centric hover gadget
