Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • New requests for permissions/Bot:
      • RPI2026F1Bot 7 (Add start time (P580) as qualifiers to subreddit (P3984))
      • BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)
    • Closed request for permissions/Bot:
  • Tool of the week
    • Pauken! ("to cram" in German) - is a tool lets you learn words in different languages, based on images.
