subtitle-5372-5772-1"Yeah."
subtitle-5772-9175-2"So PET Scan is one of the many tools"
subtitle-9175-12812-3"in the Wikimedia movement developed by Magnus Manske."
subtitle-12879-16116-4"If you don't know Magnus, he has a Wikipedia page."
subtitle-16249-18785-5"You should read about it."
subtitle-18785-21554-6"He was one of the early developers of MediaWiki,"
subtitle-21554-26960-7"but he also really good at creating tools."
subtitle-27060-31164-8"The challenge with many Magnus tools is that"
subtitle-31231-34067-9"they're they're often created for Wikimedians"
subtitle-34067-39172-10"who have a lot of technical skill and sometimes"
subtitle-39172-42642-11"it's not always obvious how they work."
subtitle-42742-45779-12"A PET scan is designed to mix data"
subtitle-46012-49682-13"from across multiple Wikimedia projects."
subtitle-49749-51785-14"It uses different kinds"
subtitle-51785-55255-15"of query and list infrastructure"
subtitle-55321-61061-16"and it allows you to do a lot of communication"
subtitle-61161-67300-17"or like connection across what's often very hard to do manually."
subtitle-67400-68802-18"It succeeded"
subtitle-68802-73807-19"several other tools focused on categories, so when I first learned PETScan"
subtitle-73807-77877-20"and this was back in 2014 or so,"
subtitle-77944-81481-21"I had been using another tool before that called CATScan."
subtitle-81548-83650-22"Both of these are great puns."
subtitle-83650-86653-23"Magnus tools often have"
subtitle-86653-88421-24"great puns in their name."
subtitle-88421-89255-25"CATScan,"
subtitle-89255-92559-26"PETScan. They're both pets."
subtitle-92625-93960-27"And what it does"
subtitle-93960-97263-28"is it allows you to filter categories"
subtitle-97330-100200-29"by other kinds of data."
subtitle-100200-105105-30"So some of this data comes from the wiki itself, MediaWiki,"
subtitle-105205-107307-31"Some of it comes from WikiData,"
subtitle-107307-109476-32"Some of it comes from Commons."
subtitle-109476-114681-33"And it's different than a manual list and a lot of ways."
subtitle-114781-119319-34"So for organizers, why you might want to use"
subtitle-119385-122522-35"PET scan as an organizer? Why?"
subtitle-122522-125091-36"Why are you in the session?"
subtitle-125191-126526-37"You probably"
subtitle-126526-130597-38"have seen it because it does complex kind of list building"
subtitle-130663-133466-39"and yeah, it does kind of have a medical name,"
subtitle-133466-136469-40"You've probably seen in some type of a campaign."
subtitle-136669-139372-41"And you probably want to like navigate or build"
subtitle-139372-142375-42"a list of Wikipedia list from content."
subtitle-142408-144010-43"Yeah, PET scan."
subtitle-144010-146579-44"So a lot of people use them for editathons."
subtitle-146579-152018-45"I know a lot of people use it for like backlogs in different places."
subtitle-152085-155922-46"I've seen a couple Wiki Loves"
subtitle-155989-158124-47"Campaigns, use it for list building."
subtitle-158124-160927-48"So where we often see PET scan"
subtitle-160927-166032-49"applied is when we're trying to build a topic list for an event or photography"
subtitle-166032-171571-50"campaign or wikidata activity that is expecting the list to change."
subtitle-171804-172172-51"Right."
subtitle-172172-176209-52"So maybe you're creating the list by like"
subtitle-176309-179812-53"using some type of Wikidata information or some type of query"
subtitle-179812-183483-54"against categories and you expect the content of those categories"
subtitle-183550-185985-55"or the wiki data query to change."
subtitle-185985-188388-56"PETScan really good,"
subtitle-188488-192325-57"because it allows you to"
subtitle-192392-197597-58"mix and match that data and then update the query."
subtitle-197697-199532-59"It's good for going across wikis."
subtitle-199532-204304-60"So I showed last week that I took a list that I generated from English Wikipedia"
subtitle-204304-208007-61"and changed it to Turkish Wikipedia."
subtitle-208107-210877-62"This is very common kind of when you're working"
subtitle-210877-213880-63"in translation or across wikis,"
subtitle-214047-217850-64"when you often use PET scan, when other tools don't meet your need."
subtitle-217984-221888-65"So other tools are often simpler and quicker to use"
subtitle-221955-224824-66"than PET scan, so and they're less likely to break."
