TSE-Dados-Abertos

Hello Jarekt, how are you?

Some days ago you helped with the Template:Agência Brasil and now I'd like to ask you opinion about the Template:TSE-Dados-Abertos: this template is for files from the Brazilian Superior Electoral Court with this main category (with, as of now, 17 655 files) and the subcategories by year and by political party (with one with related deletion requests).

Do you have any idea to organize everything? As of now, with exception of the main cat (that could be turned into a metacat) the files have been manually subcategorized, but it could be better if it was all part of the template. Something like that:

or even

{{TSE-Dados-Abertos|1=(Election year)|2=(political party acronym in Brazil)|3=(Wikidata election ID, if any)|4=(Candidate category or WD id, if any)}} (with the possibility of adding the political office and even if he/she was elected). If possible, the Wikidata ID could be used for bots to create new categories and link them to WD (and if there are a category here, the ID could just make a direct link - but the template should allow to move the image to any "Politician by year", if necessary, or the template could do it directly). Related discussion.

Now, some exemples following some types of Brazilian elections:

Municipal:

Mayor File:2020 PAULO SERRA CANDIDATO PREFEITO SP SANTO ANDRE TSE (250000959444).jpg Category:Brazilian municipal elections, 2020 (Santo André)

Council person File:2024 BISPO JOAO BATISTA CANDIDATO VEREADOR SP SAO BERNARDO DO CAMPO TSE (250002150899).jpg

Brazilian municipal elections, 2024 (São Bernardo do Campo) (since it is my home city, I have created subcategories for mayor/deputy mayor candidates, something that could be added in the template to streamline even more).

{{TSE-Dados-Abertos|1=2024|2=Republicanos|3=Q124574221|4=João Batista Ramos da Silva}}

Example for categories of gubernatorial/State elections: Category:2022 São Paulo gubernatorial election;

For the Federal district I was unable to find any category here, but I think that it should look something like that: Category:2022 Federal District election;

Presidential: Category:2014 Brazilian presidential election.

I hope that's not too convoluted. I've spent the last several days working with those images (the municipal elections are next month) and @Pfcab: have been uploading a lot (he may have an opinion on the template). You might find odd the numbers in the files: those are the ID numbering the Superior Electoral Court used to organize the files inside each .ZIP file. I wonder if there's any way to add those IDs in the templates and link them either to dadosabertos.tse.jus.br/ (main source) or to divulgacandcontas.tse.jus.br (example, with the biographical data).

Thanks,

Improvements and Maintenance

Editors interested in templates can help by reading the latest Wishlist focus area, Template recall and discovery, and share your feedback on the talkpage. This input helps the Community Tech team to decide the right technical approach to build. Everyone is also encouraged to continue adding new wishes.
The new automated Special:NamespaceInfo page helps editors understand which namespaces exist on each wiki, and some details about how they are configured. Thanks to DannyS712 for these improvements. [1]
References Check is a feature that encourages editors to add a citation when they add a new paragraph to a Wikipedia article. For a short time, the corresponding tag "Edit Check (references) activated" was erroneously being applied to some edits outside of the main namespace. This has been fixed. [2]
It is now possible for a wiki community to change the order in which a page’s categories are displayed on their wiki. By default, categories are displayed in the order they appear in the wikitext. Now, wikis with a consensus to do so can request a configuration change to display them in alphabetical order. [3]
Tool authors can now access ToolsDB's public databases from both Quarry and Superset. Those databases have always been accessible to every Toolforge user, but they are now more broadly accessible, as Quarry can be accessed by anyone with a Wikimedia account. In addition, Quarry's internal database can now be queried from Quarry itself. This database contains information about all queries that are being run and starred by users in Quarry. This information was already public through the web interface, but you can now query it using SQL. You can read more about that, and 20 other community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.
Any pages or tools that still use the very old CSS classes mw-message-box need to be updated. These old classes will be removed next week or soon afterwards. Editors can use a global-search to determine what needs to be changed. It is possible to use the newer cdx-message group of classes as a replacement (see the relevant Codex documentation, and an example update), but using locally defined onwiki classes would be best. [4]

Technical project updates

Next week, all Wikimedia wikis will be read-only for a few minutes. This will start on September 25 at 15:00 UTC. This is a planned datacenter switchover for maintenance purposes. This maintenance process also targets other services. The previous switchover took 3 minutes, and the Site Reliability Engineering teams use many tools to make sure that this essential maintenance work happens as quickly as possible. [5]

Tech in depth

The latest monthly MediaWiki Product Insights newsletter is available. This edition includes details about: research about hook handlers to help simplify development, research about performance improvements, work to improve the REST API for end-users, and more.
To learn more about the technology behind the Wikimedia projects, you can now watch sessions from the technology track at Wikimania 2024 on Commons. This week, check out:
- Hackathon Showcase (45 mins) - 19 short presentations by some of the Hackathon participants, describing some of the projects they worked on, such as automated testing of maintenance scripts, a video-cutting command line tool, and interface improvements for various tools. There are more details and links available in the Phabricator task.
- Co-Creating a Sustainable Future for the Toolforge Ecosystem (40 mins) - a roundtable discussion for tool-maintainers, users, and supporters of Toolforge about how to make the platform sustainable and how to evaluate the tools available there.

Hi Jarekt. Please would you kindly delete the first upload on the above filepage? I accidentally uploaded the original image with the identifiable faces of members of the public. The second upload is OK, because I blurred out the faces. Thanks. Storye book (talk) 09:18, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weekly highlight

All wikis will be read-only for a few minutes on Wednesday September 25 at 15:00 UTC. Reading the wikis will not be interrupted, but editing will be paused. These twice-yearly processes allow WMF's site reliability engineering teams to remain prepared to keep the wikis functioning even in the event of a major interruption to one of our data centers.

Updates for editors

Editors who use the iOS Wikipedia app in Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Chinese, may see the Alt Text suggested-edit experiment after editing an article, or completing a suggested edit using "Add an image". Alt-text helps people with visual impairments to read Wikipedia articles. The team aims to learn if adding alt-text to images is a task that editors can be successful with. Please share any feedback on the discussion page.
The Codex color palette has been updated with new and revised colors for the MediaWiki user interfaces. The most noticeable changes for editors include updates for: dark mode colors for Links and for quiet Buttons (progressive and destructive), visited Link colors for both light and dark modes, and background colors for system-messages in both light and dark modes.
It is now possible to include clickable wikilinks and external links inside code blocks. This includes links that are used within <syntaxhighlight> tags and on code pages (JavaScript, CSS, Scribunto and Sanitized CSS). Uses of template syntax {{…}} are also linked to the template page. Thanks to SD0001 for these improvements. [6]
Two bugs were fixed in the GlobalVanishRequest system by improving the logging and by removing an incorrect placeholder message. [7][8]
View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week.

Updates for technical contributors

From Wikimedia Enterprise:
- The API now enables 5,000 on-demand API requests per month and twice-monthly HTML snapshots freely (gratis and libre). More information on the updates and also improvements to the software development kits (SDK) are explained on the project's blog post. While Wikimedia Enterprise APIs are designed for high-volume commercial reusers, this change enables many more community use-cases to be built on the service too.
- The Snapshot API (html dumps) have added beta Structured Contents endpoints (blog post on that) as well as released two beta datasets (English and French Wikipedia) from that endpoint to Hugging Face for public use and feedback (blog post on that). These pre-parsed data sets enable new options for researchers, developers, and data scientists to use and study the content.

In depth

The Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) is used to get answers to questions using the Wikidata data set. As Wikidata grows, we had to make a major architectural change so that WDQS could remain performant. As part of the WDQS Graph Split project, we have new SPARQL endpoints available for serving the "scholarly" and "main" subgraphs of Wikidata. The query.wikidata.org endpoint will continue to serve the full Wikidata graph until March 2025. After this date, it will only serve the main graph. For more information, please see the announcement on Wikidata.
