User rights

Does the account running the tool need any special permissions? Does it need either a flood or a bot flag? I just tried with my regular account and couldn't get it to work. The error points to a generic permissions error.

@So9q: pinging, since maybe you aren't watching this page... Hope you don't mind. --Azertus (talk) 13:48, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

@Azertus:Hi, thanks for the ping, my Watchlist is full of 266k scientific articles and I haven't figured out a good way to filter it yet. No special rights what I'm aware of. It is similar to QS in that regard. You are of course responsible for all edits as usual, but as QS it supports Edit Groups, so job reverts are possible. I took a look at my botpassword page and I gave it only the "edit existing pages" and "High-volume editing" permissions. (it could be that I need to improve the documentation, so users give the botpassword the necessary permissions)--So9q (talk) 16:59, 9 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! Indeed, I didn't give it the right to "edit existing pages". It looks like "high-volume editing" might not be needed? Maybe that only makes a difference when the user account has the flood/bot flag? I added some documentation to the project page. Azertus (talk) 09:30, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Talk

Hello @So9q,

This looks like a great project, and I was wondering if you or anyone involved with it would like to speak on it at an LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Talk. We also give our presenters a lot of freedom in choosing topics, and if you had another Wikidata related topic we’d be happy to hear about that as well. We currently have openings on the following Tuesdays, at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST.

Talks are about an hour, usually with a 30-45 minute presentation by the speaker(s), followed by an audience Q&A and done via Zoom. You can see recordings of past speakers by following the links to agendas on our project page. And I am happy to answer any questions you have, of course. Feel free to reply via email if that is preferred. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Eric Willey

Thanks for reaching out. Because of a missing feature in EditGroups I have not been pursuing the tool for some time because old batches of edits cannot easily be undone currently. Additionally the implementation of the tool is currently suboptimal IMO since it does not use the graph at all to find relevant items (it would be nice for example to limit to a specific area of science publications when e.g. working on a biology concept so the tool does not suggest edits to unrelated social science articles). Also the tool is missing a web interface, I'm thinking a rewrite to mimic Author Disambiguator would be nice. So9q (talk) 09:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Understood, and thank you anyway! If you would ever like to speak in the future please just let us know. Emwille (talk) 13:06, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

Subtopics in Topic Curator

@So9q: I just checked out the new web interface; looks good! I tried it out on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Q181923) and had some questions. The subtopics (I'll focus on "adult ADHD") have been matched (yesterday) and now return 0 matches. The main topic still returns lots of results (4000+), but it also returns at least 400 which contain the subtopic. It looks like many of those already have the subtopic as main subject (e.g. Q57725380). Of course I don't know exactly how it's supposed to work, but it might be the case that it's not filtering out items with main subject (P921)adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (Q1812920)? Basically, it looks like most of these are present in the results, but shouldn't be. Apologies if I'm misunderstanding something, or if I'm making some mistake...

Also, have you considered allowing us to match titles on multiple substrings or manually editing the search strings? E.g. I can't get the tool to show me these results, only those with "xylem cavitation" in succession (xylem cavitation (Q125445495)). --Azertus (talk) 10:27, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, somehow I didn't find the correct place to discuss this: Wikidata:Tools/Wikidata Topic Curator. So it definitely looks like subtopics should be excluded; maybe it's just a matter of time... It also looks like affix parameter might be used to fix my xylem issue! --Azertus (talk) 10:52, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Importing tags

I find this tool really interesting. Could you add some info where it gets the topics data or point to where this info is? OpenAlex also has topics but currently I don't think it could be imported from there because it's often wrong and it would be better to query it dynamically from there using the OpenAlex ID. However, one thing that would be useful to import and which I'd like to suggest if it's not already done are tags on Nature journal studies – see "Subjects" here. Maybe some AI could get the topic out of the Abstract text + study title with a quite high level of accuracy as well. I think the topic property could turn quite useful once WD has a far more complete database of studies. Prototyperspective (talk) 21:50, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
