Subject: [Wikidata] New data type: musical notation with Lilypond format
To: Discussion list for the Wikidata project. <wikidata(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello all,
Following a request from community members, we just deployed a new data
type called “Musical Notation” in order to store musical notation in
Wikidata. Property creators can now find this new data type in the list and
create new properties with it.
A property with musical notation data type will display the notation in
Lilypond <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q195946> format, using the score
extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Score>.
For example, if you enter this code as a value: \relative c' { c d e f | g2
g | a4 a a a | g1 |}, it will be displayed as a score:
[image: Screenshot musical notation Wikidata 1.png]
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_musical_notation_Wikidat…>
The score also appears on the diff pages.

<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_musical_notation_Wikidat…>
The existing property LilyPond notation (P5482)
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P5482> is used on around 300 items
<https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=P…>.
If you need any help from the developers to change the datatype of the the
property or to migrate the content, please let me know.
One bug is already known and we’re working on fixing it: if the score is
long, it gets out of the statement box and overlaps with the edit button.
If you encounter any issue, feel free to create a subtask of this ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208489>.
Cheers,

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] How diverse are your readers?
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hi all,
As I mentioned in an earlier thread [1], we will be running reader
surveys across a number of Wikipedia languages to learn about the
reader needs and motivations in these languages as well as some of
their demographic information (and perhaps the correlations between
demographics and user motivations and characteristics).
If your language community is interested to have statistics on the
distribution of reader gender, age, education, native language, and
geographic region (rural/urban) in your language (and depending on how
much data we collect in your language, perhaps more insights), this is
your chance to indicate interest at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_talk:Characterizing_Wikipedia_Read…
I initially communicated 2019-02-15 as the deadline to sign up. Since
then, we have run a pilot test on enwiki and we are investigating some
of the results to see if any changes in the survey questions are
needed. You have now time until 2019-03-15 to indicate interest.
As always: this call is primarily a service to your language
community. If you like it, take action on it. If you don't, no action
is needed. :)
Best,
Leila

Hi,
I don't usually forward Search Platform meeting announcements to project

interested in future meeting announcements and other news from the Search
Platform team then you can subscribe to the Discovery email list at
