Hey, When a film is re-rated by the BBFC it always gets a new BBFC reference number for the new rating. Please, add the corresponding reference number for each (if you click on the film title where the old ratings are listed, you get to the page of the old rating with the old reference number). Also, you may set the rank of the most recent one to preferred. –Máté (talk)05:11, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
I see you havereverted my removal of the linkhttp://www.giantbomb.com fromGiant Bomb(Q1657282). That address redirects tohttps://www.giantbomb.com. As it is now, projects that useofficial website(P856) fromGiant Bomb(Q1657282) will display two entities, both of which will end up athttps://www.giantbomb.com. I'm reverting your edit.Desoda (talk)12:01, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
AtProperty:P2257, I noticed you deleted part of the property description. Why that?

Why did you remove the official title? -Bossanoven (talk)03:30, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi Trivialist. Why did you change theformatter URL(P1630) ofTCM Movie Database film ID(P2631) back to the old one? I had changed it to the other one, because the old URL doesn't seem to work anymore and just redirects to www.tcm.com/unavailable?stid= (at least for many people including me). --Kam Solusar (talk)15:49, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
Hey, I saw you adding a some great sites to Mix'n'Match, thank you for that! I also tried but this RegEx thingie (and the lack of coding skills) always gets me. Do you happen to know any tutorials which could help learning how to transcribe to URLs so I can make scrapers? Thank you! --Adam Harangozó (talk)18:57, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Hola! It looks like the new text-based Songfacts links you are adding are broken. I'm getting "A 404 error occurred, meaning this page doesn't exist in a meaningful way.". The numerical IDs still work. Will you have a look before changing more?Moebeus (talk)02:59, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm working on a couple of catalogs that you imported in mix'n'match (RA artists and Record labels) but when I try to associate the property ID with the catalog editor, unfortunately it doesn't save it. Do you know where the problem is? I probably forget something, dunno ... Thanks in advance. Cheers! :-) --Uomovariabile(talk to me)08:48, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I created anew page where I started collecting sites that could be added to Mix'n'match and I plan to expand it with the ones that already have scrapers by category. Feel free to use, expand. Best, --Adam Harangozó (talk)09:53, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
Well, thank you… for your thanks.
I saw that you had added a new scraper, # 3046, on Mix'n'match. I'm trying to make one for another proposal which is practically identical to Hoopla (excepted the root of the URL of course), but I can not. I do not want to disturb Magnus who is already well taken. The help pages are quite poor and the example does not help me. I tried a thousand different ways, but without success. I created two completely useless entries in the M'n'm catalog. Would you be so kind as to give me screenshots or give me what you put precisely in the fields. It is an identifier of journals with numbers on 8 digits starting at 1. Do not make it for me, because I want to understand. Best regards.
—Eihel (talk)23:43, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
@Eihel: This is recreated from memory, but hopefully it's correct. :) Let me know if any part isn't clear.
I usedhttp://com.hoopladigital.web.s3.amazonaws.com/sitemap2/prod/2019/12/01/sitemap-1-series.xml as my source file, which I reached fromhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/sitemap.xml. There is only 1 file for series, but for now we'll pretend there are 10 (sitemap-2-series,sitemap-3-series, etc.). So forLevels use:
Scraper: The pages to be scraped have URLs in the format ...sitemap-__-series.xml where the blank will be a number from 1 to 10. So for URL Pattern we'll use
Each item we want to scrape is a URL, something likehttps://www.hoopladigital.com/series/Edgar-Allen-Poe-Mystery/2169944278. We want the number at the end for the ID, and the text before that for the name. So for the RegEx entry we will use
The first regex group will match anything up to a slash. The second group will match any string of numbers.
For Resolve, the ID be from the second group, without any modifications, so we put$2 here. The name will be from the first group, so we put$1 here. We also want to change the dashes to spaces, so we will add a regular expression replacement, with- for the matching pattern, and a space for the replacement.
For the description there's nothing we can use from the source file, so we'll just put "series".
For URL, we use
In this case, the series title in the URL is actually for search engine optimization purposes and doesn't affect the link, so I usewd.
For type, I usedseries of creative works(Q7725310), so I enteredQ7725310.

Hi Trivialist
As you are an active user of Mix'n'Match, I was wondering what you think of the approach outlined atHelp:Add_main_subject_with_Mix-n-Match, includingWikidata:Property_proposal/MxM_xref.
The idea is to be able to match up items for entries of biographical dictionaries (and other publications with items), e.g. the ones atHelp:Import_NBD_from_enwikisource/lists/all_entries. I actually tried it in the test catalogue and it went fairly well.
To move ahead with others,Wikidata:Property_proposal/MxM_xref would be most helpful. ---Jura13:29, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
Forsubreddit(P3984) you recently addeditem-requires-statement constraint(Q21503247) but I believe what you intended to add was actuallyrequired qualifier constraint(Q21510856) because it makes sense as a qualifier constraint but not as a requirement for the item itself to have a start time.

Anything wrong with my edit? --Trade (talk)10:09, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
If an editor wishes to add the real name of a performer, s/he would add this without an involuntary 'encouraging' from our side. If a name is publically unknown or a kind of 'open secret' it will have 'unknown value' until an adult performer confirms that s/he definitely bears that real name. In case of an annoying updating of a real alias fromunknown value to disclosed one, all of us know what undoing and semi-protection are but such actions are fortunatelly aren't often. --Wolverène (talk)19:13, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Trivialist! Thevalid in place(P3005) does not apply to thesibling(P3373) property. An exclamation mark (!) is displayed next to it. Maybe it doesn't matter:Hugo Simpson(Q4990628) doesn't either. Please try to find another qualifier or initiate a discussion, hm?Palotabarát (talk)11:20, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
Could you please stop removing porn stars' birth names? Your claim of 'unreliable source' has not ground because you removed it even from items with more reliable sources than IMDB, such i.e. Justia. --Blackcat (talk)11:17, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

1-) First of all, you do not speak Turkish and you come and change what I wrote in Turkish. Don't do that!2-) You do not know the Turkish spelling rules, so do not change the changes I wrote and do not provoke users towards me!4-) By the way in Turkish, although the sentence does not end with a period, ellipsis, question mark, exclamation mark, and so on, the first letter of the sentence begins with a capital letter!3-) Make changes in your native language, not in Turkish!
@Doğru Tercüman: You are correct, I don't know Turkish. But I do know English, and based on your English language edits, you are not making useful additions or edits here.Trivialist (talk)22:30, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
I don't know if you noticed, but I'm no longer editing in English.
Just followed one of the author links in mix'n'match for this set, and it gave a 404, and the author was there from a lookup, so seems that there may be a need for some modification in its stem. Haven't explored further, just poking at you. —billinghurstsDrewth23:49, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Dear Trivialist,
I hope you are doing good,
I am Kholoud, a researcher at King's College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research, in which I have developed a personalised recommender system that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.
I am inviting you to a task-based study that will ask you to provide your judgments about the relevance of the items suggested by our system based on your previous edits.Participation is completely voluntary, and your cooperation will enable us to evaluate the accuracy of the recommender system in suggesting relevant items to you. We will analyse the results anonymised, and they will be published to a research venue.
The study will start in late January 2022 or early February 2022, and it should take no more than 30 minutes.
If you agree to participate in this study, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this formhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_linkI will contact you with the link to start the study.
For more information about the study, please read this post:https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:KholoudsaaIn case you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me through my mentioned email.
Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Hi, I've noticed you created some scrapers for Mix-n-match. I keep getting errors which are not specific or clear while configuring Mix-n-match to scrape for IDs. By any chance would you be able to help or configure a catalog for C-SPAN numeric IDs?C-SPAN person string ID (deprecated)(P2190) has a string based ID catalog and I have in a proposal to split the property and deprecate P2190 in favor of the Numeric ID for better constraint handling, but either staying with P2190 or the new property a catalog for the numeric ID is important. The catalog would have just over 155k IDs where over 11k are in Wikidata. Thea possible ID source where thepeople display. The same could be replicated forC-SPAN organization ID(P4725) for which are already have a numeric property without a Mix-n-match catalog with a little over 90k ids. The same URL just swap searchtype=People for searchtype=Organization. Given these are configured for 100 items per page, the total number of pages can be calculated from the total number of items. The ID extracted from each link. Thanks for the consideration.Wolfgang8741 (talk)19:14, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
I'm working on historical markers and am adjusting the properties to reflect that the ids are forcommemorative plaque(Q721747) about a subject remove a conflation of the concept of historical marker and the subject of the marker. There are 120 IDs matches incatalog 1929 most are matched by you because the property was less than ideal in its initial configuration for separating these concepts. I've corrected the property and examples. I wanted to give you a heads up to this work and maybe get your help in switching them to the markers Qs or at least let you know why these matches and reverts are happening.Wolfgang8741 (talk)14:52, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi. A few years back, you helped set upNational Cartoonists Society member ID(P5622); however, the NCS has completely overhauled their website, and all the entries are now broken. To make matters worse, they're broken in two different ways: living cartoonists and dead ones don't have the same URL structure. So the fix that I'm able to implement for dead cartoonists doesn't work for live ones, and just makes things worse (see my contributions).
I canrecognize regex, but I can'tuse it. Can you help fix this? Thanks.DS (talk)15:29, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
