Not for individual politicians or parties, but @govdirectory is aiming to get all public organizations (like government agencies and authorities) in the world and their contact data in one place, through Wikidata.

@evan Thanks for specifying! To explain my thought process, to me, any statement about the future is open-ended unless specified (unless talking about something unavoidable). "I predict.." seems as likely as "I hope.." in such cases to me. In social media specifically, I also find that people more often talk about what they want to happen than what they think is likely to happen.

@evan is this a prediction statement or a statement of hope?

@magnusmanske @nightrose Inspired by @spinster or totally a coincidence in the name choice? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Spinster/WikiFlix

Very nice to see that @wm_au has been developing a beautiful affiliate focused skin for #Mediawiki so that they can keep working on a familiar platform, but also look more like a regular website than like #Wikipedia. Read about their work in this blog post: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2024/01/05/making-your-wiki-beautiful-with-the-wmau-mediawiki-skin/

@tchambers I am experimenting with @wikipediapodden It is a self-hosted WordPress with ActivityPub activated. I haven't figured out how to get the audio file into the actual toots yet.

@evan @tchambers @andypiper
Why only Wikidata? Since it is the main namespace of MediaWiki, it could be on all pages.

@selenadeckelmann It's good that Betteridge's law holds. 🙂

@evan The should again :) Do you mean how long is appropriate in order to show respect, or how long to maximize the chance of a 'yes'?

@evan For the question as written, I would have voted a strong disagree. But if it was asked "Should everyone be offered to learn how to program?" then I would have answered a strong agree.
