Thank you for contributing to Wikidata. I see that you recently created an item Q132688247 that does not clearly indicate its notability. The Wikidata project only accepts items that meet its notability criteria, and your item is therefore likely to be deleted soon. In brief, items must have an associated Wikipedia article, must be needed for statements on another notable item, or must have both identifiers and serious sources. For the last case, a good indication of notability would be multiple articles about the subject in independent publications like newspapers or magazines. You can add such sources as references to specific claims using reference URL (P854), or as top-level claims using described at URL (P973).

Also, this may not apply in this specific case, but you should know that we discourage editors from self-promotion, contributing on topics with which they have a strong personal connection, as this may present a conflict of interest. If you are being paid to edit here, then you are obliged to disclose this. For a longer version, you might find it useful to read the essay "How to create an item on Wikidata so that it won't get deleted".  Madamebiblio (talk) 17:19, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

Will add some refs. I'm not paid to edit. Don't know why you suggest this or think this may be the case! Prototyperspective (talk) 17:21, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

film segment available on Wikimedia Commons (Q133146373)

Hi. When adding this qualifier to videos could you do me a favor and add said videos to Category:Film clips as well? Trade (talk) 16:09, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for asking, there already is c:Category:Videos of film segments where all of these are included. Maybe these two categories should be merged? For now, I've added that category to the category you linked. Prototyperspective (talk) 18:15, 7 March 2025 (UTC)

Type of map

Hi, which " subclass of" is possible, because it's needed for all other type of map-entities, like you see in the model item

Thanks Ms040got (talk) 14:33, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Good question. Maybe publication format (Q58901077) and/or some item about 'Navigation helper' or 'Orientation tool' if something like that exists. Maybe also helpful: Category:Works by type (Q10003287) and Category:Maps. By the way there also are three-dimensional maps. Prototyperspective (talk) 14:39, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Sure I know but what is the problem with two dimensional, or is subclass of not allowed? Ms040got (talk) 14:45, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

You are right. So it's about 2D you are right. I will find some. Thanks Ms040got (talk) 14:46, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Revert on Ward Cunningham (Q7637)

hi, sorry to bother! as you reverted my edit as "no improvement", I should explain my rationale, the Wikidata entry should ideally be concise and direct, similar to Wikipedia's short descriptions. creating the first wiki is something that he did, not what he is, therefore it can be left out for longer descriptions. my edit in particular was prompted as other projects use the description field for people. Wiktionary has Template:person to fetch it and display it in entries.

if you see anything wrong with this, feel free to comment. Juwan (talk) 22:41, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

I still think that the prior description was more useful and descriptive than the one after your edit. It's still short and concise. I'd see your point if it wasn't. Prototyperspective (talk) 22:43, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Feedback requested: Community Wishlist W425 (Watchlist Language Filter)

Hello Prototyperspective,

I am working on a Wikimedia project to address your proposal in the Community Wishlist: A way to filter out edits to languages one doesn't speak.

I have developed a user script called the "Language Filter" that addresses the filtering portion of your wish. It works on the Watchlist and Diff comparison pages.

Key Features

• Universal Language Bar: An autocomplete search bar (using OOUI) that supports all 300+ Wikidata languages.
• Category Isolation: Checkboxes to specifically show or hide Claims (Data), Sitelinks, and System Edits.
• Diff Filtering: Just like the image in your proposal, it hides rows in the multi-edit diff table that belong to languages you haven't selected.

How to test it

If you have a moment, I would value your feedback on whether this meets your needs. You can test it by adding the following line to your common.js:

const pageName = mw.config.get('wgCanonicalSpecialPageName');
const isDiff = !!(mw.config.get('wgDiffOldid') || location.search.includes('diff='));

if (pageName === 'Watchlist' || isDiff) {
    mw.loader.load('/w/index.php?title=User:Rohansingh1010/watchlist-filter.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
}

After saving, go to your Watchlist or any Diff page, and you should see the filter bar appear above the list.

I am planning to work on the "Integrated Machine Translation" part next, but I wanted to ensure the filtering logic is perfect first. Please let me know if you encounter any "leaks" or if there are features you’d like to see added.

Thank you for the proposal! Rohansingh1010 (talk) 12:37, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
