if no one is appose we can add '''Main language first''' as gadget ▬ <b>[[User:Reza1615|<span style="color:#C12267">Reza1615</span>]][[User talk:Reza1615|<span style="color:#C12267"> / T</span>]]</b> 09:40, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
:Ok - that gadget works fine for me. (A bug is reported on the project page - is it fixed or not a big issue?) [[User:Mange01|Mange01]] ([[User talk:Mange01|talk]]) 23:23, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

== adding MediaWiki:Gadget-mySandbox.js as a gadget ==

if noone is oppose I will add [[:en:MediaWiki:Gadget-mySandbox.js]] as a gadget ▬ <b>[[User:Reza1615|<span style="color:#C12267">Reza1615</span>]][[User talk:Reza1615|<span style="color:#C12267"> / T</span>]]</b> 14:56, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

=== external links for string properties ===

Anyone willing to write a tool to provide external links based on string properties ? For instance [[P:P214|Property:VIAF]] could add a link to http://viaf.org/viaf/ + property value. --[[User:Zolo|Zolo]] ([[User talk:Zolo|talk]]) 09:32, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

== show/edit all labels/descriptions ==

as [[Wikidata:Tools#LabelLister]], but show them directly on the page, not on popup and allow to edit them without entering the language. (so it should look similar to the link-section). if it'd be possible to fill multiple field before saving (like editing the aliases) that'd be great. --[[User:Akkakk|Akkakk]] ([[User talk:Akkakk|talk]]) 00:11, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
:works for me after adding [[WD:Babel|babel]] to my userpage for the languages listed there --[[User:Akkakk|Akkakk]] ([[User talk:Akkakk|talk]]) 10:29, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

== Translations ==

It was not clear that this page is for English users only, as beside my name it shows "Hungarian". I recognized it after saving the page, sorry, I intended to restore it to the original version. --[[User:Misibacsi|Misibacsi]] ([[User talk:Misibacsi|talk]]) 17:14, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

== Scripts needing translations? ==

Perhaps we should add an indicator of which scripts have been translated into which languages and which still need translating? --[[User:Yair rand|Yair rand]] ([[User talk:Yair rand|talk]]) 07:45, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
:{{support}} --[[User:Raoli|Raoli]] ([[User talk:Raoli|talk]]) 17:13, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

:Yeah, great idea {{smile}}. Maybe also a new page with a table (script × language) summarizing what is translated (green), partially translated or outdated (yellow) or not yet translated (red), so that we get an overview of the the current state of translation.

== Help needed ==

Can someone help me finish the implementation of [[User:Waldir/autoFill.js]]? It's almost done, but I'm stuck at how to make the "save" link active (right now I have to manually change something in the text box to trigger the change). Any other improvement suggestions are welcome, of course. --[[User:Waldir|Waldir]] ([[User talk:Waldir|talk]]) 19:34, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

== Capitalize with slurpInterwiki ==

I think that need a flag to select if first letter must be capitalized or not, to be coherent with [[Help:Label]] --[[User:ValterVB|ValterVB]] ([[User talk:ValterVB|talk]]) 13:23, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

== Better arguments for WikidataInfo.js on Wikipedia? ==

How can we convince Wikipedia administrators to include Wikidata related gadgets such as [[Wikidata:Tools#Display_Wikidata_Info_on_Wikipedia|WikidataInfo.js]]? It was suggested over 6 weeks ago at [[:en:Wikipedia:Gadget/proposals]], and still no response. The removal of interlanguage code from some Wikipedias have made it very difficult for the typical user to contribute, and WikidataInfo is a first step to making it easier.[[User:Mange01|Mange01]] ([[User talk:Mange01|talk]]) 16:22, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

== Planned tools ==

We should have a place to list all tools that aren't fully completed yet (or not released at all) but which are currently under active development by someone; so, one could avoid to create such tools, thinking that nobody hasn't created it yet. --<span style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:Ricordisamoa|<span style="color:#004B70">Ricordi</span>]][[User talk:Ricordisamoa|<span style="color:#00703E">samoa</span>]]</span> 21:32, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

== New Translation System ==

I recently created [[User:Ricordisamoa/ScriptTranslator.js|ScriptTranslator.js]] and implemented it into [[User:Ricordisamoa/Archive.js|Archive.js]] and the pre-existing [[User:Ricordisamoa/GeneaWiki.js|GeneaWiki.js]].

I'd like all of you to try ''ScriptTranslator'' for your scripts and comment upon.

:Well, I am not so familiar with this translation solution because it needs one ajax request per script so that it will take lots of time until all script are loaded completely.

== Opinion ==

Is [[User:Ricordisamoa/Rollback.js]] legitimate? If not, why?
:FWIW, popups provides pretty much the same thing for years (though not advertised the same way) and on the French Wikipedia we have a bunch of tools which are very similar.
:''My'' opinion is that we don't care. We can't control the tools used anyway, and we block on abuse whatever the tools are.
:That being said, since the rollback group exists here and is “no big deal”, why would someone use that script instead of requesting rollback rights? If it's because the rights have been denied, I'm not sure ''the use'' of the script is wise.

== Formatting and i18n ==

I noticed that all tools in [[WD:Tools]] used a similar structure for documentation, so I created {{tl|Tool}} and started to standardize all sections. I'd appreciate some help and feedback; after the templatization is completed, we could mark the page for translation (only in selected parts). --<span style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:Ricordisamoa|<span style="color:#004B70">Ricordi</span>]][[User talk:Ricordisamoa|<span style="color:#00703E">samoa</span>]]</span> 23:21, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

== Adding Autodesc as a gadget ==

{{tracked|T109772}}{{tracked|T91981}}
Autodesc is a user script created by Magnus Manske that dynamically generates descriptions from statements, which are displayed in the search results, the search box and when editing claims. It is described in more detail on [http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=64 this page], and it can be tested by adding <code><nowiki>mw.loader.load('//tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/autodesc.js');</nowiki></code> to [[Special:Mypage/common.js|common.js]]. I think this script is sufficiently useful that many editors would benefit from using it, and adding it to the gadgets would give it more visibility.--[[User:Underlying lk|Underlying lk]] ([[User talk:Underlying lk|{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}]]) 12:36, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

== DuplicateReferences gadget behaves buggy ==

Dear - where to start?..

When you (manually) add a reference, it doesn't get that "copy" link right away. You first have to reload the page before you can use the gadget on it. This could leave me being faster with a oldfashioned manual copy and makes the gadget of questionable use.

It causes a lot of confusion by making the page content jump around because of content boxes growing and shrinking all over the page due to the "paste reference" links it puts all over the page. (Content jumps instead of performing the usual slide.) If you hit a "copy" link, the statement with the source reference jumps down and you find your mouse pointer over the next statement above.

It happily lets you paste a copied reference as a duplicate right next to the original. You do this easily in all the confusion from content jumping around.

If you instead try to paste to a different statement that has a qualifier statement with it, when you hit that "paste reference" link it first fails with an error message appearing in the upper right corner of the page. If you hit it a second time after that, it pastes just as if nothing happened. But then you find out that in the process it just swallowed that qualifier statement from the statement you pasted a reference to.

Right after entering a new claim (at least if you do it next to an existing one for the same property) you have to reload the page before you can copy a reference (from its neighbour) to it.

Jumping content: It adds only one line per box, but with objects that have a lengthy lists of properties it accumulates. Those extra lines appear from one moment to the other and without the animated transition that the interface otherwise shows. So it breaks with the usual behaviour of the interface. And at least in Firefox, when I've scrolled half way down the page, after the expansion of the page I end up at the same point as measured from the top of the page, not measured in relation to page lenght. So I don't find my mouse pointer over the same part of the page anymore. The content "jumped". In my case by nearly exactly as much as one box, so I ended up clicking the wrong buttons before I painfully learned to pay close attention.

If you can't reproduce right away, try changing your language settings. With english "[add reference|insert reference]" still fits the content box in one line, if it gets a little longer it breaks into a second line.--[[User:Frysch|Frysch]] ([[User talk:Frysch|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 20:14, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

== wbEntity config variable to be deprecated ==

Hello,

This is an important message for '''people who develop gadgets or user scripts''' for Wikidata’s frontend.

We plan to deprecate the wbEntity javascript config variable in the next months. The variable is currently used on every page load, even if when it is not useful (for example on mobile). With that change, we will increase the load speed of the entity pages. After that the expression <code>mw.config.get( 'wbEntity' );</code> will not work any more. All code that uses this config variable should be migrated towards using the Mediawiki hook <code>wikibase.entityPage.entityLoaded</code>.

When a user opens an entity page (item or property), as soon as the JSON representation of the entity stored on the current entity page is loaded, the Mediawiki hook <code>wikibase.entityPage.entityLoaded</code> is triggered.
Listener callbacks should expect the entity as a native JavaScript object (the parsed JSON serialization) passed as the first (and only) argument.

Note: The entity object is completely frozen (read-only) to avoid the case when one of the clients accidentally changes it and breaks other clients.

Here are a few examples on how you can use it:

<source lang="javascript">
 // Basic usage
mw.hook( 'wikibase.entityPage.entityLoaded' ).add( function ( entity ) {
  'use strict';
  // Your code goes here
  console.log( entity );
} );

// Convert to jQuery promise
var entityPromise = $.Deferred( function ( deferred ) {
  mw.hook( 'wikibase.entityPage.entityLoaded' ).add( function ( entity ) {
     deferred.resolve( entity );
  } );
} ).promise();

// Convert to native promise
var entityPromise = new Promise( function ( resolve ) {
  mw.hook( 'wikibase.entityPage.entityLoaded' ).add( function ( entity ) {
     resolve( entity );
  } );
} );
</source>

== Introducing Toolhub ==

What does your participation on the Wikimedia projects look like? Do you edit articles? Upload files? Patrol vandalism? Translate articles? Translate interface messages? Do you organize people, online or offline? Do you train new editors, or new trainers? Do you write code?

There are many different ways to contribute to Wikimedia – more than you would expect just from reading Wikipedia articles. Over the past several years, volunteers have developed technical tools that help Wikimedians improve content, patrol vandalism, and perform many other tasks. They make it possible to do what the wiki software alone cannot accomplish. Without these tools, many of our projects would slow down to a crawl.

I am very happy to announce a new project called Toolhub which seeks to create a searchable index of these tools in all languages. We are building this tool catalog based on what our communities need. '''If you would like to help''', please take a look at '''[[m:Toolhub]]''' and review the question at the top of the page.

=== Tool: Bilingual CreateItem ===
A lot of users know their mother tongue and a world language, such as English. At this point, when there's a huge number of items to be created, it would be useful to offer the Label and Description fields in two languages (more would be confusing) - one with the user set language and the other with a drop-down menu that would affect both fields. Alternatively, the user set language and English only would go a long way too. Anyone up to the task? — [[User:Yerpo|Yerpo]] <sup>[[User talk:Yerpo|Eh?]]</sup> 20:19, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

:::[[User:Yair rand/HighlightUncreated.js]]. Probably still has some bugs. One significant issue is that most hits appear to be just links to redirects, and while they technically don't have associated Wikidata items, they're probably not what you're looking for. I don't think there's any simple way to "follow" the redirects and check whether the eventual target page has an associated entity (at least not without slowing things down a lot), but it would be simple to just have the script ignore the redirect links entirely. Would that be preferable? --[[User:Yair rand|Yair rand]] ([[User talk:Yair rand|talk]]) 13:09, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

=== Find homonyms without description ===
A script could search in a given language for two (or more) items, witch have the same title (Homonym) and witch both have no description, and weekly create a list of those homonyms.

=== Find items to merge ===
A tool that compiles lists of items that have the same label in different languages and no conflicting sitelinks (conflicting: both have a sitelink for the same language). To extend it, aliases could be checked, too. To improve results, properties could be checked (matches might suggest identity, discrepancies are likely to eliminate it). To limit the number of results, must-have properties could be given, or search could be limited to a category in one Wikipedia. To allow faster human checking of the results, result page should display descriptions (and possibly a way to edit them). --[[Special:Contributions/93.94.65.67|93.94.65.67]] 13:37, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

=== Keyboard shortcuts ===
I know many languages, so for me the labels/descriptions take up more than the first screen of an item. Because of this, I think it would be nice if you could be able to just press a key to take you to various sections of a page (sort of like when you press "N" on Google Reader it takes you to the next unread post).

My suggestions for shortcuts are:
* '''L''' to move cursor to Label box (so you can press "L" and then immediately start writing)
* '''D''' to move cursor to Description box
* '''S''' to navigate to "Statements" heading
* '''A''' to highlight the "[add]" under Statements (or preferrably to have the same effect as clicking "[add]")
* '''I''' to navigate to "List of pages linked to this item" heading

I don't have any coding skills to speak of, but if someone could make something like this I would be very grateful. :-) [[User:Jon Harald Søby|Jon Harald Søby]] ([[User talk:Jon Harald Søby|talk]]) 20:36, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

=== special watch list for item's links connection===
In many cases users abuse or change or remove language links in items and no-one revert before that users could revert it in wikipedia or interwiki bots correct it based on other wikis but now it is not possible! 

we need tool to monitor items which are belong to user's watched pages in wikipedia or wikidata.

for example we can define a JS tool which check if connection of predefine links are broken or changed it shows alarm to user. 

user can define a list in his subpage like below and tool check the connection if they are true leave it. if they changed or removed it shows a popup alarm!
*de:buck-en:book-it:Libro-fa:کتاب
*it:italia-en:italy-fa:ایتالیا

Would be nice to have a gadget that highlight all links on item that are GS wikis, or better; wiki's with no active sysops. --[[User:Stryn|Stryn]] ([[User talk:Stryn|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 17:57, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

=== Disambiguator ===
Someone can create a gadget/tool that for each sitelink check if is a disambiguation page on wiki?
In detail: For each sitelink is necessary to use this API:
<code><nowiki>action=query&prop=pageprops&format=json&ppprop=disambiguation&titles=Mercurio</nowiki></code>

If return "disambiguation": "" the page is a disambiguation, in this case is necessary to evidence the sitelink (for example set the beckground to yellow). --[[User:ValterVB|ValterVB]] ([[User talk:ValterVB|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 13:27, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

=== Duplicate labels and aliases ===
I was trying to do this myself, but with no success – I'd love a tool that gives me a button next to the label edit fields and alias edit fields that lets me duplicate that label or alias to all the languages I have switched on. I was actually able to make it work locally ([https://imgur.com/caUFOk1 screenshot]), but I'm not able to transfer that to live use on Wikidata. {{ping|Ricordisamoa}} Maybe you can help, since you were so quick with my last request? 😊 [[User:Jon Harald Søby|Jon Harald Søby]] ([[User talk:Jon Harald Søby|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 02:55, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

=== Clear item ===
In some cases, I think it would be useful to have an easy way to clear an item. In my usecase I would like to be able to clear everything except sitelinks (so, labels, descriptions and statements) to prepare an item for a merge. Where I could need this is cases where an item has (wrongly?) been marked as a disambiguation page while in reality it is an item for a surname or first name, and I've created a separate item for the name. In that case they should be merged, but I don't want any of the descriptions saying it's a disambiguation page (since it isn't) to be added to the merged item. Is this something that someone could easily make?

:: Yes, but very important: never merge disambiguation with other type of item, it's wrong for the history of the item. If the sitelink is wrong you can '''move''' the sitelink. --[[User:ValterVB|ValterVB]] ([[User talk:ValterVB|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 16:59, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
:::{{ping|ValterVB}} I'm only talking about cases where, if you move the sitelink, the disambiguation item would have no sitelinks. Then it would qualify for deletion, but it's better to redirect it. But you don't want it to say it's a disambiguation when it's not. An example of what I mean: [[Q10725141]] is marked as a disambiguation, while the only sitelink in that item is a surname-only disambiguation page (which is usually marked as surname in Wikidata). Therefore it should be merged with [[Q30512398]], but before I can do that I need to remove the descriptions saying that the former is a disambiguation item, to avoid confusion in various languages. Several times I've had issues where an item was described as disambiguation in some languages and surname in others, which is what I want to avoid by emptying one item before a merge. Anyways, the gadget Edgars2007 linked seems promising for this purpose.

:::: No, it's a very big error, you can't merge an empty disambiguation item with an item about fruit, or an item about city or an item about name, they are very different things, and if a disambiguation item is without sitelink we delete it, we don't merge. You can merge disambiguation item only with disambiguation item. For disambiguation item I mean an item that has had for some time P31=Q4167410 --[[User:ValterVB|ValterVB]] ([[User talk:ValterVB|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 22:54, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|ValterVB}} I don't see the logic there at all… The item was always about the surname, it just had an incorrect P31 here in Wikidata (which in turn led to the disambig descriptions). I believe the sitelink that the item was created for defines what the item is about, not what P31 it was arbitrarily given later on. Do you disagree? If so, why?

:::::: A disambiguation is a page with a list of "word" homographs, sometime the list can be a list of surname but if it is marked as "Disambigaution" you can't be sure that you have only a list of surname- If the sitelink is wrong you must fix the sitelink not the item. --[[User:ValterVB|ValterVB]] ([[User talk:ValterVB|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 23:24, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

I have changed "disambiguation" items into other things before, because some language Wikipedias do not distinguish between a "topical index" and a "disambiguation page". So we regularly get items that describe a well-defined topic area but are incorrectly marked as "disambiguation", but some sitelinks are actually articles about the broad topic. In that case the right thing to do is to clear all the "disambiguation" labels and descriptions and replace them with a description of the actual topic.

: The problem is that Wikidata is used also outside of Wikimedia projects. If some site outside use an item and this item is a disambiguation, and after some month we change the type of item, we create an error in a external site. The stability of our data is fundamental. It's better for externale site have an error, easy to detect, that have a wrong data. --[[User:ValterVB|ValterVB]] ([[User talk:ValterVB|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 16:47, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

::Many times, I had to clean an item ''wrongly'' tagged as disambig, (through the Game for instance), many of them by the same person, many of them months ago… The problem is Valterbot then applying the description to all languages..., once, twice, thrice, and more ! cleaning it up is really long (over 10 minutes) for a single fast error, once !

:::If an item is defined as a disambiguation at Wikidata and a sitelink on such an item is about a person, a new item for the person should be made. One should avoid re-purposing items. <br/>--- [[User talk:Jura1|Jura]] 19:10, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

=== Go directly to item after saving ===
Hi, I'm wondering if someone could help me make a script. I want a script that, when I've added a surname property, takes me to that surname item directly after I've saved. I only want this to happen with the surname property ({{P|734}}), and not any other properties I save. Is this doable?

===Inverse properties===
Could someone create a tool based on {{P|1696}} which allows a user to add in the inverse item Q2 the inverse property P2 with one clic on the inverse property P1 in the inverse item Q1? Example: if {{Q|672490}} has {{st||910|8373159}}, this tool would allow me to add with one clic {{st||301|672490}} in {{Q|8373159}}; or viceversa. This would be really really useful!
