subtitle-5939-9509-1"So I'm going to show you a query that I created that"
subtitle-9576-13980-2"I think might be a really good example of something you might want to do."
subtitle-14080-17083-3"So I'm going to I'm going to tell you a scenario and then I'm going"
subtitle-17083-20487-4"to show you how I built this query to match that scenario."
subtitle-20553-25091-5"So say I'm in Nigeria and I'm running editathons about the impacts"
subtitle-25091-28628-6"of climate change in Nigeria, like agriculture,"
subtitle-28728-31631-7"every city in Nigeria."
subtitle-31631-35735-8"It just like how all food is affected by climate change."
subtitle-35835-39606-9"All cities are affected by climate change and other environmental issues."
subtitle-39706-45211-10"So what I would need to do is discover which city articles"
subtitle-45311-49516-11"mention climate change or some other environmental issue"
subtitle-49549-53787-12"like plastic pollution or other types of pollution?"
subtitle-53853-55188-13"And what I want"
subtitle-55188-58758-14"new editors to do, because I don't want to throw new ideas at writing"
subtitle-58892-63329-15"new articles, is edit these existing city pages,"
subtitle-63396-66199-16"particularly I want them to edit city pages that don't have"
subtitle-66199-69969-17"a lot of content to make the pages more useful for a public."
subtitle-70070-71337-18"So what do I do?"
subtitle-71337-73339-19"Well, the first step"
subtitle-73339-75275-20"for this is running a wiki"
subtitle-75275-78278-21"data query asking I want all items"
subtitle-78378-82749-22"which are a subclass instance of or a subclass of"
subtitle-82849-87654-23"human settlement that have the country of Nigeria."
subtitle-87720-91758-24"This wiki data query produces about 839 results on"
subtitle-91925-95228-25" a little over"
subtitle-95395-98765-26"a thousand or something on the query service."
subtitle-98865-104070-27"When I run the query and then I combine it with"
subtitle-104137-106773-28"yeah, so if I run the query and I combine it with this"
subtitle-106773-111377-29"filter links to climate change or climate change in Nigeria,"
subtitle-111444-115915-30"you and I make sure that I use the wiki English Wikipedia."
subtitle-115982-118751-31"I get this result 839 pages"
subtitle-118751-121754-32"that don't talk about climate change."
subtitle-121754-126226-33"Now if I am running an event for new editors,"
subtitle-126292-129929-34"sending them to, say, Port Harcourt"
subtitle-129929-133766-35"or Benin City, which are big cities"
subtitle-133833-138972-36"that have lots of page views and lots of content, might not be"
subtitle-138972-144511-37"very smart on my part as an organizer because these are the cities that are"
subtitle-144577-149249-38"more likely to have good, high quality content on them already."
subtitle-149315-153887-39"And they're also, you know, kind of probably watched"
subtitle-153953-155955-40"by existing community members."
subtitle-155955-159025-41"Well, Benin City, not as much because this is a higher quality"
subtitle-159025-162028-42"of an article, less citations, etc.."
subtitle-162028-165698-43"But if I set new editors to work on the Port Harcourt article,"
subtitle-165765-172172-44"probably not going to have the best result from a community reception standpoint."
subtitle-172272-174741-45"But many of these smaller cities"
subtitle-174741-179112-46"that have much smaller articles are like great places to start."
subtitle-179179-181748-47"And if ... but I probably don't want"
subtitle-181748-187887-48"a list of 839 results so I could, like I did with the other articles"
subtitle-187954-191391-49"filter for articles that aren't too big but not too small."
subtitle-191524-194761-50"This gets rid of stubs that are under like"
subtitle-194761-198164-51"3000 4000 bytes and"
subtitle-198231-201534-52"smaller than 2000 bytes."
subtitle-201601-207040-53"And this might give me a much more manageable list that I could work from."
subtitle-207140-210410-54"And once I have this list, so we'll see the query run"
subtitle-210410-222422-55"on the second one."
subtitle-222522-226960-56"So I have a similar list that I ran earlier right here."
subtitle-226993-229796-57"So I see I only filter by 5000 bytes."
subtitle-229796-231431-58"So everything bigger than that."
subtitle-231431-235768-59"So these are cities that, you know, probably worth editing on."
subtitle-235768-239472-60"Write about 330 city articles"
subtitle-239539-240740-61"and then we'll see the query."
subtitle-240740-245211-62"I just ran 296 so I got a similar result by removing"
subtitle-245211-249482-63"big and small articles and just removing the smaller ones."
subtitle-249582-252252-64"Once I have that, I can go to mass"
subtitle-252252-257590-65"use with those articles and I can ask like"
subtitle-257690-261961-66"which of these articles are going to have the most impact?"
subtitle-262061-264797-67"Wow, that rain is loud."
subtitle-264797-268835-68"I hope you all are hearing that and you'll see that here."
subtitle-268835-272305-69"The couple of cities have about 10,000 pageviews a month."
subtitle-272372-277110-70"And then we have a whole bunch of them that are like medium sized cities."
subtitle-277110-281180-71"You know, I'm not from Nigeria, but I can obviously throw away"
subtitle-281414-285051-72"like the articles that really don't have a lot of page views because it's"
subtitle-285051-289422-73"probably not going to help like improve public awareness about climate change."
subtitle-289489-293459-74"If I say drop the ones that have less than 200 page views,"
subtitle-293559-296262-75"and so that gives me about 100 articles to work on,"
subtitle-296262-299532-76"which is a very manageable list for a community event."
subtitle-299599-300800-77"Right?"
subtitle-300800-304137-78"And what's nice about this is I could start from the wiki"
subtitle-304137-309142-79"data query if I had started from the category"
subtitle-309208-309776-80"cities in"
subtitle-309776-313212-81"Nigeria, you'll realize very quickly that it introduces"
subtitle-313212-316215-82"a lot of like bad baggage"
subtitle-316282-318918-83"because of the depth of articles."
subtitle-318918-324457-84"So cities in Nigeria,"
subtitle-324557-325224-85"when you"
subtitle-325224-329329-86"when you look at this category, it becomes very obvious very quick"
subtitle-329395-332131-87"that this is not going to be very good content."
subtitle-332131-337804-88"For example, the subcategory in Lagos has all of the buildings in economy"
subtitle-337804-342942-89"and people from Lagos and every single one of these subcategories"
subtitle-343009-347714-90"has some weird mix of like city articles and not city articles."
subtitle-347714-348214-91"Right?"
subtitle-348214-351417-92"So it makes no sense to use categories to do this."
subtitle-351417-352018-93"A wiki data"
subtitle-352018-355855-94"query is going to be much more accurate, and then you can do the filtering"
subtitle-355888-362595-95"from information that you have on Wikipedia."
subtitle-362662-375641-96"Any questions about using wiki data to like modify one of these queries?"
subtitle-375708-376309-97"Yeah, go ahead."
subtitle-376309-379479-98"Bukola."
subtitle-379579-380513-99"Okay."
subtitle-380513-383816-100"I think I'm kind of lost at the point"
subtitle-383816-390022-101"where you move from page well to Mass View."
subtitle-390089-392425-102"Mm hmm. I don't know how you do."
subtitle-392425-399165-103"Did you, like, copy the link from the web page scan"
subtitle-399232-403169-104"and then move to the massviews?"
subtitle-403269-404737-105"Yeah."
subtitle-404737-407740-106"So if we take this query where I have about"
subtitle-407840-411844-107"296 articles from"
subtitle-411944-412979-108"from Nigeria."
subtitle-412979-415381-109"So these are cities in Nigeria"
subtitle-415381-419085-110"based on the wiki data query output for English Wikipedia."
subtitle-419085-422422-111"So our articles exist on English Wikipedia."
subtitle-422488-426292-112"I modified it so that it tells me all the articles"
subtitle-426292-431764-113"that don't link to climate change or climate change in Nigeria and also"
subtitle-431798-436469-114"made sure that they're bigger than 5000 bytes and smaller than 2000 bytes."
subtitle-436536-439338-115"Once I run that query, which is the result"
subtitle-439338-443242-116"I just shared there, that's that's here, I click do it there."
subtitle-443309-446312-117"I'm like, okay, so I don't want the HTML output."
subtitle-446479-448548-118"What I want is the PagePile output."
subtitle-448548-451484-119"So I click do it."
subtitle-451551-453219-120"When I click, do it right."
subtitle-453219-456222-121"So I pick PagePile, format, output and do it."
subtitle-456456-459959-122"It creates a PagePile for me."
subtitle-460026-466299-123"After it runs the query."
subtitle-466399-467300-124"Okay, I got."
subtitle-467300-468234-125"I got that part."
subtitle-468234-472472-126"More like how would you move it to a mass view?"
subtitle-472572-476609-127"So once I know what the the number for the query is,"
subtitle-476676-480246-128"what I can do is go to MassViews."
subtitle-480346-482915-129"And mass views has a number of options."
subtitle-482915-487353-130"Practically most people only use categories and page pile"
subtitle-487453-490089-131"unless you're doing something a little bit more complex."
subtitle-490089-491624-132"Right."
subtitle-491624-495194-133"And you just select the source for page pile."
subtitle-495261-498264-134"You select the time window that you want to track."
subtitle-498264-501267-135"So last month,"
subtitle-501267-509609-136"and then I can drop the PagePile in there and click submit."
subtitle-509675-509976-137"Great."
subtitle-509976-511644-138"Thanks. Yeah."
subtitle-511644-517250-139"And this is like really a good way to do prioritization, right through page views."
subtitle-517316-520119-140"And I think this is something that, you know,"
subtitle-520119-523189-141"I notice a lot of organizers like working on big language"
subtitle-523189-527727-142"Wikipedias from the Global South are often like trying"
subtitle-527727-532932-143"to create new articles on the edges which don't get a lot of interaction."
subtitle-533099-536068-144"When we have articles like Port Harcourt,"
subtitle-536068-540606-145"which is a pretty important city in Nigeria,"
subtitle-540640-541574-146"right,"
subtitle-541574-544577-147"It's very likely to have,"
subtitle-544577-547146-148"you know, news coverage outside of Nigeria,"
subtitle-547146-550082-149"so it's like a good representation of cultural context."
subtitle-550082-551851-150"Like expanding this article,"
subtitle-551851-555288-151"adding things like air pollution, adding things like climate change,"
subtitle-555521-560192-152"adding things like, you know, plastic pollution and stuff is like a powerful way"
subtitle-560293-564830-153"to like both teach people how to edit on Wikipedia,"
subtitle-564897-570870-154"Make sure those edits have impact and then also reach a public."
subtitle-570937-572905-155"Now, that might not be your goal."
subtitle-572905-576342-156"Your goal might not be like reach people with content."
subtitle-576409-579045-157"But I think this is like a good strategic move"
subtitle-579045-587219-158"if that's the kind of change you want to make."
subtitle-587286-590389-159"And it's not to say you shouldn't be doing other cultural documentation too,"
subtitle-590623-593659-160"but I think campaigns like WikiforHumanRights provide you"
subtitle-593659-596662-161"this opportunity to prioritize differently."
subtitle-596729-602101-162"Now Bukolo, did you still have question your hand and start?"
subtitle-602168-606939-163"You can also do some pretty cool stuff once you have this query."
subtitle-606973-608107-164"Right."
subtitle-608107-611444-165"So instead of doing that enwiki output here,"
subtitle-611510-614513-166"I could do a WikiData output"
subtitle-614714-617550-167"for for the results from the articles."
subtitle-617550-623322-168"So I and the other sources I go from use enwiki to WikiData"
subtitle-623389-625524-169"and if I go"
subtitle-625524-628361-170"do it,"
subtitle-628361-635067-171"it'll give me the the output from wiki data."
subtitle-635134-638137-172"And if I were say"
subtitle-638270-642308-173"so there's a property on"
subtitle-642408-645011-174"WikiData called i."
subtitle-645011-648014-175"It's 500."
subtitle-648014-651017-176"I forget what it is. I'll look it up for"
subtitle-651083-658557-177"wikimedia project property data."
subtitle-658624-662828-178"So I'm focus list of Wikimedia project."
subtitle-662928-667166-179"So I could go P5008"
subtitle-667233-688287-180"and once I have the result from the query"
subtitle-688354-691657-181" that's about what I want."
subtitle-691757-692892-182"Here it is."
subtitle-692892-696429-183"Once I have the result from the query,"
subtitle-696529-700466-184"which is going to be a different number because it's wiki data"
subtitle-700533-705838-185"I could drop, I can actually like initiate batch edits here."
subtitle-705938-708140-186"So if I wanted to say"
subtitle-708140-713879-187"I create a climate change in Nigeria,"
subtitle-713979-719418-188"kind of Wikimedia project like focus project,"
subtitle-719485-720319-189"I could say"
subtitle-720319-726592-190"P5008"
subtitle-726659-730362-191"q101421920."
subtitle-730429-735167-192"And I can actually, like, take me directly to edit quick statements."
subtitle-735234-738771-193"So I can do a batch edit, I can edit all 600 of these pages"
subtitle-738771-741741-194"based on sorting and filtering I just did"
subtitle-741907-744877-195"with,"
subtitle-744877-745911-196"with the tool."
subtitle-745911-750249-197"Now I'm not going to make this edit, but you can use quick statements to then edit"
subtitle-750349-754120-198"and then that makes WikiData queries simpler, which means and then you can go"
subtitle-754120-757623-199"do something else with PET scan that allows you to filter."
subtitle-757857-761060-200"So you can go back and forth between WikiData"
subtitle-761060-765030-201"and PET scan in a way that allows you to refine the data"
subtitle-765097-768634-202"that then, you know, leaves a public mark"
subtitle-768734-772004-203"on WikiData to for that impact."
subtitle-772071-774306-204"Yeah, go ahead."
subtitle-774406-774774-205"Yeah."
subtitle-774774-775374-206"Abigail."
subtitle-775374-781080-207"The main purpose of PET scan is queries, but it has this nice side effect, right?"
subtitle-781080-784650-208"Where it makes it very easy to edit WikiData"
subtitle-784717-786986-209"in batch that I think"
subtitle-786986-789922-210"a lot of people don't quite notice"
subtitle-789922-794193-211"because you have to have the settings set up right?"
subtitle-794293-798097-212"The previous CatScan tool, which I don't think is still supported."
subtitle-798264-799598-213"Right."
subtitle-799598-802101-214"Was basically just this page"
subtitle-802101-805638-215"like this first set of options."
subtitle-805704-809842-216"The PETScan is really powerful because it allows you"
subtitle-809842-813145-217"to grab these other things and it allows you to kind of"
subtitle-813145-816649-218"take advantage of all of the data that mediawiki has, right?"
subtitle-816649-822688-219"So size of page, links, when pages were edited, things like that."
subtitle-822688-823022-220"Right?"
subtitle-823022-827026-221"So you can actually like as an organizer be a bit more intentional"
subtitle-827126-831630-222"about the recommendations you're making or for like personal use,"
subtitle-831697-834266-223"you can kind of set up like"
subtitle-834333-834600-224"kind of"
subtitle-834600-837603-225"queues of content you want to work on."
subtitle-837670-839772-226"That's that's easy to do."
subtitle-839772-842942-227"I also find that like"
subtitle-843042-845377-228"I really like the Tabernacle tool,"
subtitle-845377-850416-229"like this is a really good tool for like taking some kind of conclusion"
subtitle-850583-855654-230"based on Wikipedia categories or something else"
subtitle-855721-860626-231"and putting it into WikiData in a more manual way"
subtitle-860693-863429-232"so you can decide like what other kinds of properties"
subtitle-863429-867466-233"you want to add, or if you want to translate labels or whatnot,"
subtitle-867533-870202-234"you don't need to use PagePile"
subtitle-870202-871370-235"to do this right."
subtitle-871370-875507-236"You can do it with a SPARQL query, but sometimes, often"
subtitle-875574-878811-237"there's a lot of information on, say, Wikipedia or Commons"
subtitle-878878-881313-238"that is not yet on Wikipedia."
subtitle-881313-892858-239"And so knowing how to like, make these connections is really it's really powerful."
subtitle-892958-893425-240"Yeah."
subtitle-893425-895628-241"So so"
subtitle-895628-898097-242"PETScan, you know,"
subtitle-898097-902067-243"first, like the simple PETScan, you really want to pay attention."
subtitle-902067-905704-244"So Abigail is asking Tabernacle a little bit friendlier with the column."
subtitle-905804-909575-245"Yeah, I think, like once you have a list"
subtitle-909675-912678-246"or a query that someone has produced for you,"
subtitle-912711-915614-247"Tabernacles a really good way to edit WikiData."
subtitle-915614-918918-248"And it's also if like a lot of things are exactly the same, you can actually"
subtitle-918918-922121-249"copy and paste data"
subtitle-922221-923789-250"things too as well."
subtitle-923789-928227-251"It's not great if you want to add reference statements to WikiData."
subtitle-928227-929028-252"And so."
subtitle-929028-931964-253"So this is where it's"
subtitle-931964-933666-254"useful"
subtitle-933666-934600-255"for PETScan."
subtitle-934600-938537-256"Again kind of things where places where I break queries"
subtitle-938704-941840-257"a lot and, and I think most users of PETScan"
subtitle-941840-944910-258" will tell you depth of articles."
subtitle-944910-951717-259"So if I try to go too deep on categories, this will create a lot of problems."
subtitle-951784-953819-260"...."
subtitle-953819-955554-261"like having the wrong"
subtitle-955554-958557-262"wiki for the output can create problems"
subtitle-958791-963829-263"trying to do the wrong combination of different features."
subtitle-963829-968267-264"Like if you do categories and SPARQL and it doesn't make a lot of sense."
subtitle-968334-970970-265"Yeah, that that might break."
subtitle-970970-971437-266"I don't."
subtitle-971437-975274-267"I don't know if catscan can still work so I think he might have retired it"
subtitle-975274-979611-268"many years ago which I mean yeah so"
subtitle-979678-984550-269"At one point I did do a training on on CATScan"
subtitle-984650-987353-270"but I think Yeah."
subtitle-987353-990356-271"So it's been replaced by PET scan."
subtitle-990456-996028-272"So so CAT scan was 2013 or 11 tool"
subtitle-996095-1000232-273"PET scan is is the modern one"
subtitle-1000332-1003569-274"and you know he's always"
subtitle-1003669-1008040-275"adding features and updates and so sometimes"
subtitle-1008140-1010909-276"things break or change"
subtitle-1010909-1016015-277"which is you know, kind of a challenge with many of the volunteer"
subtitle-1016015-1021286-278"built tools around that we rely on for list building."
subtitle-1021353-1024690-279"Now. Yeah, but"
subtitle-1024857-1028027-280"You can tell the documentation"
subtitle-1028027-1032297-281"is not very good on meta but as you saw"
subtitle-1032531-1037002-282"like it took me over an hour just to walk through all the features"
subtitle-1037069-1039638-283"of PET scan"
subtitle-1039638-1042141-284"and I was breaking it"
subtitle-1042141-1046345-285"occasionally and like the queries didn't perform the way I wanted to."
subtitle-1046445-1051383-286"I don't think this is a tool that documentation helps you figure out."
subtitle-1051383-1054386-287"I think it's best to watch someone else build a query"
subtitle-1054520-1058424-288"and look at the sections and then try it yourself."
subtitle-1058490-1060526-289"It's a bit like writing a Wikidata query."
