Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is coming - new date set
Hi everyone,
A while ago I announced a rollout date for enabling a feature here - access to arbitrary data from Wikidata. We encountered some issues and decided to delay the rollout to make sure we're not screwing things up. I'm sorry for this delay. We've now fixed the issues and have set a new date for the feature rollout. It'll be September 16th.
In case you want more background information what arbitrary access is or have questions please see d:Wikidata:Arbitrary access.
We are excited to introduce a new Wikimedia Public Policy site. The site includes resources and position statements on access, copyright, censorship, intermediary liability, and privacy. The site explains how good public policy supports the Wikimedia projects, editors, and mission.
My apologies for posting this message in English. Please help translate it if you can.
Greetings! The Individual Engagement Grants program is accepting proposals until September 29th to fund new tools, community-building processes, and other experimental ideas that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers. Whether you need a small or large amount of funds (up to $30,000 USD), Individual Engagement Grants can support you and your team’s project development time in addition to project expenses such as materials, travel, and rental space.
Wikidata: Access to data from arbitrary items is here
Hi everyone,
I have previously announced that your wiki will get arbitrary access. This has now happened. What does this mean? Previously you could only use the data in an article from an item on Wikidata that is directly connected to it. This means for example in the article about Berlin you could not get data about Germany. This has now changed and you can use all data from Wikidata in any article you wish. You can do this by using the property parser function or via Lua. For more information, usage and questions please see d:Wikidata:Arbitrary access.
I hope this will help you do great things here and ease your workload.

Proposal ini kelihatannya sudah lama mangkrak. Bagaimana kalau dibangkitkan (dan disempurnakan) kembali? Tampaknya ini bisa jadi solusi untuk menarik penyunting baru, karena bisa jadi salah satu cara memberi insentif bagi mereka yang sudah capek-capek menyunting.

proposal itu memerlukan beberapa perincian tambahan.--Hidayatsrf (bicara) 21 September 2015 15.18 (UTC)
Setuju, tapi memang diperlukan banyak sekali penyempurnaan, sebelum akhirnya dibangkitkan. Termasuk kata 'rekognisi' yang terkesan sangat ganjil (mungkin bisa dicari padanannya dalam Bahasa Indonesia). ardhan (bicara) 24 September 2015 14.14 (UTC)
Lebih jelas dengan nama "Komite Pemberian Penghargaan" atau "Dewan Kehormatan". JohnThorne (Bicara) 23 Oktober 2015 15.43 (UTC)
nah, nama tersebut boleh juga. Kalau nama sudah ditemukan padanannya, bolehlah proposal tersebut segera dimatangkan bersama-sama dan sesegera mungkin dibentuk komitenya. ardhan (bicara) 28 Oktober 2015 07.17 (UTC)
