Creating topics in Wikibase

Page = item in Wikidata and/or Wikidocumentaries. Each topic in Wikidocumentaries has a page.

  • The initial set of topics in Wikidocumentaries are created by selecting a set of Wikidata items and creating them in Wikidocumentaries.
  • When the user navigates to a page that does not exist in Wikidocumentaries, but for which there is an item in Wikidata (through a link in Wikipedia text for example), the page is automatically created.
  • The user may create additional topics in Wikidocumentaries with a set of minimum required properties.

Creating items one-by-one

This would be the normal way of a user.

Through search

  1. User searches for a topic in the search box
  2. A list of possible topics is shown in the pulldown menu
  3. If the right topic is not displayed, the user may choose to create it

Through article

  1. The user notices a topic in the article that has not been linked
  2. She highlights the word
  3. This creates a search pulldown
  4. The user may navigate to a page displayed in the pulldown or create a new item
  5. The user may create a link to the item in the pulldown list by clicking on the link icon. If the article is from Wikipedia, the link is an annotation. If the article is in Wikidocumentaries, the link is added to the article source.

Workflow to create a new topic

  1. A modal opens to create the topic
  2. The user adds basic information (title, description, alias and type)
  3. Additional information is requested based on user input on the type (P31, instance of). Generally, Wikidocumentaries should not store classes, but they should be created in Wikidata. Let's see how we manage this.

Possible workflow and mockups

  • The user clicks on a link in a Wikipedia article in Wikidocumentaries
  • If the topic has been created in Wikidocumentaries, the user simply follows the link
  • If the topic has not yet been created in Wikidocumentaries, the topic and the page will automatically be created
  • If the user follows a red link or wishes to create a topic that does not exist yet, she enters a disambiguation page. The page presents
    • A search
    • Topics that the user might have meant and links to navigate to these existing or new pages
    • A link to create a new topic
  • The first page to create a new topic asks for the type of the new topic (P31)
  • Based on the type, the form asks for other key properties, see the Sqid tool.

Basic info by type of topic

The key info for each type can perhaps be automatically read from Wikidata. The recommended values are either encoded in the type or it's superclass Wikidata, or most used values for this type in Wikidata excluding authority IDs.

Some intelligent features to build:

Location can use a minimum input from the user. It may be one of these

  • Coordinates -> Can yield street address, city, country
  • Street address -> Can yield coordinates, city, country
  • Known location (in Wikidata) -> Can yield coordinates, city, country
  • Known geographic location -> Can yield city, country
  • City yields country
  • Only country if no other info is present

Sources can be automatically retrieved from ISBN / DOI / url / Wikidata ID

  • Date retrieved will automatically be added
  • Additional data can be manually added here or later
  • The data will be saved (locally/in Wikidata?)

Generating items with Shape Expressions from Wikidata

Generating a small batches of required items from Wikidata

  • If a user would like to generate the relatives of a person to create a family tree, there could be an action to retrieve all relatives to a certain degree from Wikidata.
  • If a user is interested in an area, she could retrieve all items within a distance from the current topic location.
