Task/s: run script to update and add descriptions of scientific articles in many languages
Code: https://github.com/emijrp/wikidata/blob/master/scientific.articles.py
Function details:
- update some descriptions with a publication date
- add descriptions in 40+ languages to all scientific articles
It has been suggested elsewhere (in project chat) that it would be better to generate descriptions on the fly for these 34 mio items. From a redundant data perspective I think that would be a good idea. Since that will probably take years to implement I suggest we add descriptions in the mean time.--So9q (talk) 18:02, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Oppose I abandon this request and expect that AbstractDescriptions will solve the issue with descriptions in a more efficient way for more than 40 languages.--So9qBot (talk) 12:15, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
