🥳Wikimedia Hackathon 2019 Showcase & Project list🥳
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prague - on Sunday from 3pm - 6pm in Balling Hall run by Siebrand and Rachel
Contents:
I / We want to be in Sunday's Hackathon Showcase (limited to 30 total, with 2 minutes each)
Not presenting or leaving early: here is some info documenting our project.
== I / We want to be in Sunday's Hackathon Showcase (limited to 30 presenters, with 2 minutes each) ==
Fill in a section below with your details (remove un-needed lines) - replace the placeholder text!
If possible, please explain your project without using a computer
The second best option is to add a link to this etherpad and use the provided laptop, from where you can access any demo you need.
You cannot use your own laptop. Sorry. There are many project to showcase and we can’t give extra time.
If you do not wish to be filmed, then please write that in the special requirements section, and we will move you to the end of the showcase. :-)
Deadline for showcase registration is Sunday at 12:30.
Just before the showcase, we will trim and reorder this list. Presentations will be from top to bottom. If you are not on the list, you unfortunately have not been selected to present.
Between 14:15 and 14:45, you can test on the presentation laptop if so needed in Balling Hall.
1. DOLOGMSG FOR TOOLFORGE - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222244
Brief : Developers on Toolforge can now issue log messages from the command line, using the `dologmsg` command. Previously, you would have to be in IRC and send !log tools.name messages in #wikimedia-cloud.
Video: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Toolforge_dologmsg_QuickCategories_demo.webm (38 s)
Contacts: @LucasWerkmeister / @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE
pre-load the video so it doesn’t have to load during the demo, I suppose (video is on desktop)
feature is deployed and available for everyone, announcement email to cloud-l will be sent right after showcase
Status: ????
Speech by Lucas Werkmeister: Message in IRC, Deploying tool that generates log message, "dologmsg" command. Don't have to be on IRC. 😭
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/cloud/2019-May/000656.html
2. TESSERACT OCR - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223533
Brief: Wikisource gadget that will derive text from the current page's image via Tesseract.js OCR. https://wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Tesseract_OCR
Video: https://bit.ly/2VQ3J96
Contacts: @putnik
Status: user script available
Putnik: Tool that helps to recognize text on Wikisource page, based on Tesseract.js library in pure JavaScript that can work right in your browser on every Wikisource project. It adds button that provides text recognition from image for Page namespace in almost 60 different languages. You can enable it for personal use on Wikisource.
3. SCRIBE - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223661
Brief: A prototype for a tool to support editors in creating new articles by structuring the sections and suggesting references.
Contacts: @ondrej.merkun, @Isnit001, @Lucie
Status: prototype, user script available but rather proof of concept
Video: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWeQwhkzvEw>
Andra, Joe, Lucy - Scribe helps editors to create high quality articles. Prototype now working! User searches for term on Wikipedia- doesn't exist on Czech Wikipedia, they click new article, VE shows up, and then our tool shows up. Suggests sections headings from same language version articles, and suggests references. Finds suggested headings from other related articles. Finds references from newspapers and web-search.
4. FLAGGED REVISION ICONS - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T155878 and Secure log out https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222626
Brief: Improving former icons in FlaggedRevs.
Contacts: @Ladsgroup
Status: live next week(s)
Speaker: Amir
Speech: Presenting 2 things.
(1) Flagged revisions icon improvements. See and approve [[them?]]. User interface updated.
(2) Before this, logging out didn't require a token, and no token was sent, no CSRF. Deprecated doing logout without csrf token.
Limitations: You could mass log out users by spamming a link. Now logging out without token gives an error. And doing AJAX post-request with secure instead of GET request.
5. WDQS - GPS-friendly download of query result & Download of RDF Formats - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T216601 & https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211177
Brief: download query result as GeoJSON, GPX, and KML for data containing geolocation, and RDF Formats for CONSTRUCT queries
https://pebbie.org/wdqs/ , http://tinyurl.com/yyyo3gn5 (query #1), http://tinyurl.com/yy5gpkoe (CONSTRUCT)
Contacts: @Peb
Demo: http://geojson.io (GeoJSON), http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/ (GPX), https://www.doogal.co.uk/KmlViewer.php (KML), http://rdf-translator.appspot.com/ (RDF), https://json-ld.org/playground/index.html (JSON-LD)
Status: beta deployed on my site (outside wm), deployment still requires other issues to be resolved (deciding whether the format suitable for the current result, and UI/UX usability issue to handle with menu organization)
Peb: 2 tasks on Phabricator.
(1)
Problem: only CSV or text for geodata or graph. Other formats not available at query.wikidata.org. Added options to download n-triples or JSON-LD.
Can now do format conversion without sending another request. Now you get jsonld data view of query results so now you can use for other applications.
(2)
Can now download the query results containing geolocation in a format that is GPS friendly.
6. WIKIGRADE - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223735
Brief: WikiGrade is a jury tool for article contests. While it has already been successfully used for three article contests, we would like to develop it to the stage where it could be used by other chapters as well.
Demo: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikigrade | https://gitlab.com/yurb/wikigrade/blob/cd759d7bd9f/evaluate/models/scores.py
Contacts: @Yury_Bulka
[Technical]: notes for myself: login username: Велосипедист
Status: alpha-deployed
Speech by Yury: Will show last version of article within the contest timespan. It will compute a score, and the ranking of the contributors, to help with prize allocation. Still alot of work to do: need to create an admin role so that others can login and create contests with it.
7. PASSWORD-LESS LOGIN - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220418
Brief: Logging in without requiring the user to enter a password, just by pressing a button on a pre-registered smartphone.
Video: https://youtu.be/Hfg0A1H0X8s
Contacts: @Florian
Status: Proof of Concept developed
Speech by Florian: Extension that allows you to login using your phone as authentication instead of a password.
8. MEDIAWIKI APPS GALLERY - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223748
Brief: A showcase of interactive demo apps built using the MediaWiki Action API.
Contacts: @srishakatux & @tuxology
Site: https://tools.wmflabs.org/apps-gallery/
Where is this feature in its lifecycle? Examples: Early conception / ready for beta deployment / beta deployed / feature flagged / production / ...
Speech by Srishti: Previously worked on improving the action API docs, code samples, and things that they built using Mediawiki-Action-API. Some people shared cool examples. Twitter and similar have galleries of tools. I made a gallery of interactive demo apps. Thanks to volunteer/friend tuxology who contributed remotely. Also thanks to Volker and Robin for great design feedback,.
9. ShEx TOOLS DOCUMENTATION FOR WIKIDATA - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223622
Brief: With the upcoming release of ShEx in Wikidata there will be a need of more introductory material about ShEx usage in Wikidata. We started to document a possible workflow about the different stages where ShEx schemas can be useful to improve Wikidata quality.
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR75KhEoRKg
Slides: https://tinyurl.com/y3mqlx3u
Contacts: @Jelabra, @Andrawaag, @Tombakerii
ShEx project: ready for beta deployment
ShEx Documentation for wikidata: Early lifecycle
[Andra]: Wikidata qualitity improvement is perpertual process. [See video] Wikidata items about manga/anime are a mess because they inherit from Wikipedia articles covering a manga, its anime adaptions, 1 or 2 movie, and a couple of video games. Shape expressions (ShEx) can help with this process. ShEx can extract the schema about a certain type of item (eg, manga). It can also help with splitting out the anime item from the manga item. A ShEx plugin will be available at the end of May 2019.
10. VOICE ASSISTANT EDITING FOR WIKIDATA - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223510
Brief: Voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant are all read-only. What if users could talk back and become first-class participants in our projects?
(What are these links ?)
[Password protected] https://developer.amazon.com/alexa/console/ask/editor/amzn1.ask.skill.21b3638f-79b8-4951-b131-1f5104b88877/development/en_CA -- private development interface for Alexa Skills Development
Code: https://gitlab.com/evanp/alexa-skill-update-wikidata
Wikidata sandbox: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4115189
(Screenshot of the interaction) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Two-way_voice_interaction_for_wikidata.png
Contacts: @EvanProdromou
Status: Prototype
Evan: 2 out of 5 adults in North America use voices search on daily basis. 500 million weekly users of Siri. Huge number getting info from Wikipedia/Wikidata, without having the option contribute back.
worked on Amazon Alexa Skill (app that can be installed with Alexa) does a 2-way interation with Wikidata. First queries Wikidata and gets properties out of Wikidata. Will also take qualitative and quantitative feedback. So you can say "hey that fact doesn't sound true" and it will post a comment to the talk page on Wikidata talk page saying this seems sketchy. Will also do direct updates on wiki entitites, saves it to database, allows 2 way interactions, and is REALLY cool.
🥳🥳🥳
Dutch Caps-lock strikes again. -- its script independent. This hurt, but I shouldn't have to log in for a demo. Private UIs ftl
11. WIKICHAT - https://phabricator.wikimedia.o-
68rg/T223807
Briefs: Experimental solution to provide real-time-ish chat to users in MediaWiki, the idea being to better support new editors and offer human-to-human help. The system allows for use of regular curation/moderation tools in MediaWiki.
[What is that] http://82848aa3.ngrok.io/index.php/Main_Page
Contacts: @kostajh
Status: Experimental, very hacky, early proof of concept
Kosta: Improvement to the Help Panel built by WMF Growth team (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Focus_on_help_desk ). Makes onboardng process more helpful. makes help panel so while editing you can search for links and get help with editing. Will make edit on helpdesk with section header so people who check wiki when it's deployed can see what it is. As a newcomer you have to check notifications to see if someone replied. So implemented that newcomers can see this in real time with real efficiency. Here's a proof of concept realtime chat. Queries the recent changes feed, changes stuff, and pulls up updated content to show you stuff. If you wanna add new stuff like emojis then reach out. http://82848aa3.ngrok.io/index.php?title=Chat&action=edit to see the content model, test out the chat etc. Will leave it running for the afternoon
12. LANGUAGEINFO API MODULE - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220415
The MediaWiki action API gains a new module, action=query&meta=languageinfo, to get information about languages supported by MediaWiki, such as fallback languages, variants, or writing direction.
screenshot: https://phab.wmfusercontent.org/file/data/3o74ucogr7zkxifmqf6l/PHID-FILE-zdvphnedi23e4rnku3qn/Screenshot_from_2019-05-19_11-12-04.png
@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE
currently in code review on Gerrit, will hopefully be merged and deployed to production soon
Lucas: If you wanted info about languages MediaWiki supports 12. You get certain info about each supported language (JSON blob).
13. WIKIDOCUMENTARIES - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223532
Brief: Service for end users to see what Wikimedia and other openly licensed media is available related to each Wikidata item
Achieved: Indonesian and Russian translations; We added Creative Commons Search to Wikidocumentaries image sources. Some sources were filtered out, either because we have more complete data already or that some sources were less relevant from the project perspective. The choice of sources will later be made adjustable. Reading and formatting the input is not finished, current query response is still be incomplete (thumbnails missing, bad matches), performance trouble in the UI. Further work will include first fixing these and later tools for mapping metadata of individual images to Structured Data on Commons properties and importing the images to Commons when this is done.
https://wikidocumentaries-demo.wmflabs.org/Q514420?language=id
Contacts: @Peb, @putnik, @TuukkaH, @susannaanas
Status: ready for beta deployment --> pending until bugs have been resolved
Tuukkah: demos what media is available in each language. When you scroll you see media from wikipedia, wikidata, related people and timelines and something new is creative commons search. so you can add plugins for sourcing other things e.g. CC Search covers Metropolitan Museum of Art. You can view photos and other media related, for example on a timeline. So you get metadata in terms of keywords from wikidata.
14. INTEGRAALITY FOR WIKIDATA - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220219
Brief: Generate dashboards of property coverage for a given part of Wikidata. Self-service, configured/invoked using a template on Wikidata
Links: <https://tools.wmflabs.org/integraality/> (source: <https://github.com/JeanFred/integraality/>)
Demo: <https://tools.wmflabs.org/integraality/>
Contacts: @JeanFred (based on original idea by @multichill )
Status: LIVE on Wikidata (although unlikely to sustain very highload, timeout issues, basically no error-handling, etc. ^_^)
Speech by JeanFred: Who loves Wikidata? [[Applause]]
Dashboard of paintings in Wikidata and their properties (completeness). Thougt: let's do it on demand for everything so any product you have you can do it. The way it works is silmilar to something Listeria bot you can give it all the items such as instance of painting, columns we're interested in are then displayed on dashboard. Wikidata Video Games (great project you should definitely join) you can do it for everything all instance of beers by country. Should show completeness for any subject area. Please file bugs!
15. ECHO PUSH NOTIFICATIONS - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113125 https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Echo/+/371615
Brief: In-browser push notifications for Echo
Links [what is this]: https://905f0d1d.eu.ngrok.io/wiki/User_talk:Admin
Contacts: @Catrope
Status: Cleaned-up / improved version of my Montreal 2017 hackathon project. Needs a little more work before it's ready for review
Project: Wikipedia? All?
Speech by Roan: Worked on echo push notifications. At this hackathon made the code not hideous and more efficient. Made it so you can enable and disable these things. In preferences -> notifications there's a new column for push notifications for each notification-type. Can enable push notifications asks if notifications from this domain. now plants in audience can ping me on my user talk page and now I can see my new notifications when I'm not on browser (also works on mobile).
16. FROM GOOGLE DRIVE TO WIKIMEDIA COMMONS -https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223541
Brief: Upload pictures directly from your Google Drive to Wikimedia Commons !
Demo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gq5tpIr0ppImFRXHHrMNOieRDJ4CdlXu/view?usp=sharing (video taken down).
Contacts: @srishakatux @zhuyifei1999 @01tonythomas @chicocvenancio
Status: Prototype, early pre-release. Coming up in https://tools.wmflabs.org/google-drive-photos-to-commons/ soon.
Team: needs more forces.
Speech by Tony: we came up with tool for you to upload files from google drive to commons. Opens a dialog that shows you the files being transferred.
17. WIKIDATA QUALITY SCORE DISPLAY - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223590
Brief: Create a gadget that displays on a Wikipedia article the quality level of the related Wikidata item. Next steps: compare scores to average quality scores of a random Wikidata sample
[What is this?]:T223590.pdf on desktop. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sargon_of_Akkad-Vital_Person-C_Cat.jpg, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Cat_A-Vital_Person-Douglas_Adams.jpg
Contacts: @Arybolab
Access: need to be logged in to Wikipedia with my user name to browse with my personal user configs
Where is this feature in its lifecycle? Examples: Early conception / ready for beta deployment / beta deployed / feature flagged / production / ...
Speech by Anna: 3rd time doing coding for Wikimedia! I wanted to visualize wikdata content like clustering datapoints, though I learned that the expectation is that something the data is too incomplete to get useful insights at this stage. So I decided wanted to be able to monitor the quality of Wikidata while using Wikipedia as a user. The Gadget can be activated on a user account and will quality levels (calculated by ORES) for the related Wikidata item on the Wikipedia page I looking at. Based on an overview of important people I found 2 examples how the gadget works. You can see that 'Sargon of Akkad' has a C-level quality rating, so this would be a good candiate to complete for editors. You can see Douglas Adams has an A-level rating. Next step: Want to have some random samples of data to get an average quality score for wikidata items and quality gap measures.
18. Common templates in the visual editor, and a surprise live interactive demo - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T55590 (common templates) https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T216775 (ISBN scanner)
Brief: Wikis want the ability to list common templates inside the visual editor.
Demos:
https://bit.ly/2HBxdOg
https://bit.ly/2JtHVcJ
Contacts: Editing team, @Esanders
Status: in code review
Common templates: couple of wikis complained template dialog didn't give much guidance if you're new so now there's a new JSON message for common templates. Will pull in templates and list them as quick links for easy access. Could be improved to have templates directory for infoboxes, conversion templates etc. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T55590
Scan ISBN: Better ways to contribute on mobile phones for those adding references. Visual editor use phone camera to scan ISBNs and get an automatic reference. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T216775
19. COMMONS APP NEW UI - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223159
Brief: Develop a new home screen UI and Explore UI for Commons app.
Slides: https://bit.ly/2Q7RzCk
Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IQG7n34yRkHek4I4yfRp9mNV4mXsQyNL/view?usp=sharing
Contacts: @josephine_l, @maskaravivek, @Sharvaniharan, @ujjwal@Ujjwalagrawal17, @schoenbaechler, @Ashishkumar468
Status: Unstable alpha on development branch
We joined commons app team to work on commons app. Improved current navigation which is hamburger icon on top left beforehand, demo is after visual display. Moved away from left side hamburger to bottom-right hambuger and bottom-left toolbar navigation. Before and after images. Bottom navigation has advantages so easier to discover easier to reach with thumbs and everything is all these wins against things that are hidden. This is explore feed, before and after we are currently working on implemening it. Prototypes and mockups given of new UI design which is cleaner and more of a white space approach, removed blue a bit to make the images shine more. Technical challenges while making surgically removing UI from top and placing at bottom we had to separate items in code because not decoupled properly to change UI elements.
20. SEARCH PAGE'S SORTING OPTIONS - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T197525
Brief: Give users the option to sort search results by date created, date last edited or by relevance (default).
Image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Advanced_Search_-_sorting_option.png
Contacts: @Tonina_Zhelyazkova_WMDE
Status: work in progress, browser tests missing/failing.
Tonina: Feature for Advanced Search. You can sort searchs by date edited or created. By default shows results by relevance. Implements keyword search in CirrusSearch. Uses OOUI , work in progress bc browser tests not finished. Ticket for more browser tests is submitted on Gerrit.
21. THICC - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220765
Brief: Some sort of content-model structured voting and discussion system.
Mock: https://wiki.zaori.org/wiki/Vote!
Demo: https://wiki.zaori.org/wiki/Thiccness
Contacts: @Isarra, @Magwac, @Bawolff
Status: had fun exploring. :D (if I understand well ^^)
Isarra: Trying to make voting extension, voting and discussions with threaded stuff. How do you scroll on a mac [sic!]. tried to make a mockup. This is how voting works on uncyclopedia. We wanted to make it so people couldn't screw up threading with comments and replies. Discovered why other extensions made for this suck. Didn't get very far, we have some threading and it's json. we want to add interface to edit this properly then we can implement the actual voting like we wanted intially. We wanted to use multi-content revisions but it doesn't support this use case. You can only have one slot of particular page at a time, lots of issues because used for wikicommons use cases only (RfC described others). Would be nice to implement it but that person isn't here anymore. Can only transcluded wikitext. MediaWiki only supports wikitext transclusion; has TODO comment for HTML tranclusion; would be nice byu t way overt our heads So lots of \ways to go with this.
Good presentation! And complaints are good.
Talk pages consultation, ongoing at the moment, may surface the need of voting systems.
22. NAMESCRIPT IMPROVEMENTS - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223806
Brief: The namescript Wikidata user script now has a documentation page, and descriptions for kanji names were improved.
Contacts: @Harmonia_Amanda, @LucasWerkmeister
Links: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Harmonia_Amanda, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Namescript
namescript has existed for a while, and this latest improvement is now in effect; other improvements are likely to follow in the future
Lucas and HA presenting together: Wikidata items have one item by string for names, so different writing system should be different items. It's difficult to add other descriptions if you don't have name in given language. Fixed problem with japanese names because unicode doesn't make difference between kanjii and Chinese writing system. Difficult to disambiguate between 2 writing systems. Made it better so it will work. You have the native label, and namescript adds e.g. latin name for name and label. Non-latin descriptions give latin definition in parenthesis: "レンヌ (Rennes)". Documentation on Wikidata so you can use it yourself.
23. SCORE EXTENSION REFACTORING - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135597
Brief: Cleaning up the Score extension with TimedMediaHandler
Achieved: mostly refactoring work -> Prototyping changes
Contacts: @Ebe123 (Étienne Beaulé)
Status: Score extension in production, changes in Gerrit (prototype)
Étienne: Has a physical sheet of paper and difficult to present , "Can't show it on computer, so you have to believe me." This is what it used to be (unintelligible complex diagram) and now it's better (slightly less complex diagram). [Loud applause ensues] Now when you upload midi files it transcodes automatically on Commons and Wikipedia pages so you don't need to download the file and run it through a synthesizer.
24. Working with Growth team: Allow mentors to configure their presentation & Create GuidedTour to help users understand how to follow up on their questions with notifications - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220145 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220146
Brief: Worked with the Growth Team of WMF to implement two new features for the GrowthExperiments extension
Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1F6Z0-2iKM_6flUVfqS2kL7c70aj6p6pJiy_fqLILob8/edit?usp=sharing
Contacts: @Tim_WMDE
Status: Ready for beta deployment, may need additional reviews first
Tim: I am from Wikimedia Germany. This weekend joined Growth team.
Mentors presentations first
Tim: I am from Wikimedia Germany. This weekend joined Growth team.
Homepage project (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Growth/Personalized_first_day/Newcomer_homepage) introduces mentors for new users so they automatically assigned to users. I added a couple of features to extention allowed mentors to get cdescirptions swo more personal bc previously it was text saying hey this is your mentor. Now each mentor can have custom text. Now if you add text next to name it will show up on user's dashboard. You can see this text on your mentor section below.
GuidedTour about Notifications
Users can ask questions on Homepage through a dialog on page but they found that users might not be aware that notifications popup at top. Added info box saying where you will get response. They might ask questions click done and then it shows a popup alert specifying where you can expect to find information. Now users are aware when there's a new notification.
25. CITE UNSEEN - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/4050/
Brief: Cite Unseen is a Wikipedia user script that evaluates sources and inserts icons that help Wikipedia readers quickly and easily evaluate the sources used in a given Wikipedia article, checking for the potential orientation of a source and its possible ideological biases.
Site: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cite_Unseen
Contacts: @SuperHamster (Kevin Payravi), @Sky_Harbor (Josh Lim)
Status: Deployed as a user script (in beta)
Speech: Cite Unseen tool identifies sources in Wikipedia based on meanings of idealogical sources. Basically verify sources as trustworthy. Different classifcations of source-types, e.g. Biased, Gov controlled press-release, newspaper. Tabloids, books, anything can be used right now. Icons to left of each source represent the type of source such as book, press release, news source, opinion piece, etc. Added these icons so readers can get a glance at sources l get an idea of where sources are coming from data dump will list all URls currently used on Wikipedia (not done because lots of resources out there). Please add to our source list on github. Only tested on english wikipedia but plan to deploy on other wikipedias.
26. USING A BOT TO IMPORT STRUCTURED DATA TO COMMONS - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223746
Brief: Structured data on Commons has been introduced, but we don't have any bots yet that can migrate data. Build some proof of concepts.

Contacts: @multichill (inspired by the Pywikibot meet-up)
Status: Proof of concept/prototype
Maartin: Pywikibot structure data on Commons not supported yet. Made Proof of Concept to see if possible to edit such data on commons without a robot. First figured we have picture of the day on Commons, each one already has multilingual captions. So I imported captions from picture of the day, if you scroll all the way down you will see it's under captions section. So we already have 5k nice multilingual captions without any extra work. E.g. Frog image, can import the big statements with the robots. API just allows you to edit anything so was able to add other properties. User interface will not like this but they will probably fix it soonish. Bug exists where it adds based on IP would like to implement so it edits through wikibot instead.
27. TECHNICAL CONFERENCE 2019 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T220212

28. ADVANCED TUTORIAL FOR OOUI - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223810
Brief: Writting a state of the art tutorial on OOUI framework.
Achieved: We wrote a tutorial on how to create a larger-scale application with OOUI that follows the Model-View-Controller pattern to make it more maintainable. In a series of refactoring steps we show how the "Todo List" application we created in the basic tutorials goes from a collection of Widgets to a full-fledged application with proper separation of concerns.

29. WIKIDATA BLOCKY - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223811
Brief: Don't write SPARQL queries by hand; instead, drag and drop easy components (Code: https://github.com/Nudin/SparqlBlocks )
Demo: https://tools.wmflabs.org/blockyquery/
Contacts: Michi (@MichaelSchoenitzer_WMDE, @MichaelSchoenitzer) with help from others
Status: working prototype
Michi: Wikidata Query Service in Blocky. [[Talking and showing how to put together the query graphically]]
In the Wikidata Query Service, writing queries is hard. So I made a prototype for this and a new interface, graphical programming language, you can get the blocks of stuff you need to build queries. Uses block element UI design to create queries. [Shows demo] Would like to make it more user friendly and results of table more presentable and exportable.

Finn: Develop scholia (web app that takes Wikidata and does[kayes on toolforge. Would like to have more flexible visualization. l tried to learn how D3 can be combined with feedback from query service. Have query for applications of reseach and topic of implications and putting them up in a D3 air plot. One point we will be able to include these new visualizations like this time block is embededding from timeline bot from wikkdata query service. Recently got grant from foundation to look for a developer and a front end developer to get to these tasks (for visualizsations).wrfsvx
==Closing session speeches==
Klara: Thanks from WMCZ, for everyone who came all the way to Prague, and engagement during the event. Hope you had a chance to make new friends. Want to thank all the partners: National Library of Technology, Campus Dejvice and Cafe Protoru.
Most of all thanking Hackaton team, always willing to help. Martin, Petr, [clapping and inaudible], Tomas, megan at registration desk [clapping]. People from Czech community, Martin, [more names?] Andre. Thanks to Hackathon mate Natalia. Made it all come true from plan to reality. Great coordinator and person. Least but not last [sic!] goes to Rachel. Who supported us through from preperation process, the event, and helped calm us when we were panicking.
For tonight: The gallery is still open, dinner is here again tonight. You can stay until 2am again, and cafe is again open after that.
Rachel: Update your phabricator tasks! Don't leave Andre with a graveyard [laughter]
We will send feedback survey. We change these events every year based on your feedback. We want to hear back. Send email or tell us on phabricator.
We will have Hackathon in 2020, but not confirmed where it will be yet. Some organizational backlock. Be patient.
We also want to help with other local events - if you want help, send us an email.
Finally: What a pleasure to work with WMCZ. Please another round of applause. Especially for Klara and Natalia. And for everyone here, you all contributed to this event - please applaud for yourselves!
Klara: The final sentence we would like to teach you something on the end. The Czech word for "good bye" is "na shledanou". ( IPA: [ˈnasxlɛdanou̯] )

Wiki Education Dashboard
After meeting with Czech Wikipedians who use Programs & Events Dashboard for classroom projects, we identified 14 bugs and feature requests, then we tackled many of the highest priority ones:
The 'Article Finder' tools for searching for high impact underdeveloped articles now has a language picker: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/article_finder
Campaign organizers can now make edits to any programs in their campaign
We added an API that can be used by a mediawiki gadget to display information about courses from Special:Contributions (gadget in progress by @urbanecm)
We made it easier to copy previous programs for a new academic term
We made a bevy of UI improvements and bug fixes
We made the features for downloading detailed campaign metrics more discoverable
We upgraded several key dependencies, and improved build speed
Wikidata labels show up in more places
All of these improvements are live now on https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org

Updating external links to GLAM catalogues - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T223773
There are wiki pages about art works (e.g. Wikipedia articles, File: pages for images on Commons) that do not link to the official catalogue entries for the work in its host museum. Perhaps the image has been obtained from an aggregator such as RKDimages. Sometimes the image or details has been retrieved from a site that the museum no longer maintains, and there is a new official link that should be added. I have been working on a way to query for external links using Wikidata Query Service. It does not quite work yet due to a bug in SPARQL access to the MediaWiki API (reported at the above phab link). Thanks to Lucas Werkmeister who has been extremely helpful.

Oзон and Озон look the same, but the first one starts with a Latin O rather than a Cyrillic О. Searching for either will not find the other. Working on an Elasticsearch plugin to attempt to map homoglyphs in mixed-script tokens and index any single-script variants that can be generated.
