[edit]Extending Databox
[edit]The sv:template:Databox and sv:module:Databox were installed on Swedish wikipedia, based on a mix of the French and Africaans versions and further extended, slightly adopted to Swedish conditions. I asked a question about this at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Topic:Uo7jwxjt2wlmgnsb . Tomastvivlaren (talk) 08:44, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Using Wikidata for reliability assessment of references and web sites?
[edit]A student of mine is currently developing a web browser extension that indicates the reliability of every weblink or citation that is shown on a web page. It should indicate if a reference has high reputation in the scientific world, or is considered non-reliable/pseudo-scientific or similar by experts. A little bit like the Finnish tool en:myWOT (Web of trust services), but based on expert reviews rather than user voting. He fetches data from wikidata, to start with Danish Bibliometric Research Indicator level (P1240).
Would it be acceptable for a bot to upload assessments of wikidata items based on various warning lists? Can we use Property:P444, or instance of (P31) (referring to for example en:pseudo science site, en:Clickbait site, en:fake news sites, en:satirical sites, en:malware sites, en:Typosquatting sites, etc? Or refer to the corresponding Wikipedia categories (see below) in Wikidata? Or should we request new properties for this purpose? Can we create Wikidata items for non-reliable sites that currently do not have Wikipedia articles?
Some initial examples of external assessments and warning lists that we may start out from are: (but if possible, we prefer published lists written by experts rather than wiki sites and other user contributed assessments):
- External sites in English:
- Rationalwiki: Webshites. See en:rationalwiki.
- Hoax slayer - list of fake web sites
- The Web-of-Trust service (myWOT.com) reputation assessment database. (Partly based on expert lists, partly on user voting.)
- External sites in Swedish:
- Warninglist of factoids
- Swedish viral sites (Clickbait sites spreading false internet memes)
- Template:Wayback, former Swedish newspaper Metro "viral review" warning list
- List of unreliable Swedish internet shoping companies
- Wikipedia warning lists and categories:
- en:Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Sources (Sites repeatedly spamming Wikipedia with abuse)
- en:category:Pseudo science
- en:List of fake news websites
- en:List of satirical news websites
