Pywikibot/Script data flows

Pywikibot scripts are typically executed in (a logic) sequence, to be able to update a maximum of statements, with a minimum of human effort.

Often these scripts are used in the context of an edit-a-thon, or a WikiProject. But they can also be useful for personal use.

Typically Wikidata is the central registration system. Multiple other systems are interrelated.

OpenRefine

An Excel, or Google Spreadsheet can be used as input for OpenRefine to register project items (rows, and columns with Q-numbers, P-numbers, and statements via schema's).

1. pwb create_person: name, lastname, firstname, gender, nationality,
2. pwb create_firstname
3. pwb create_lastnam
4. pwb set_homonym_property
5. pwb add_statement
6. ListeriaBot, Special:WhatLinksHere, Wikidata Query (filter on WikiProject item number)
7. pwb copy_label

Wikimedia Commons Category

1. Create a Wikimedia Commons Category
2. Add images to the category
3. pwb add_image_from_sdc
4. pwb add_wikitext, to add a category

Add Wikimedia Commons SDC Depict

1. Assign a media file to a Wikidata item

2. Determine the subject of the session, together with the museum or the archive

5. Write a Wikidata Query (filter on WikiProject item number)
6. Create a ListeriaBot query page
7. Execute WDFIST to find and register images in Wikidata
8. Run query or Special:WhatLinksHere
9. pwb copy_label (requiring a list of Qnumbers)
10. Run ListeriaBot query (Lijst handmatig bijwerken)
11. Create a project page (Possibly an Event page)
12. Create a Campaign dashboard, mentioning the project page
13. Upload available articles to the Campaign dashboard
14. Ask users to register via the Campaign dashboard
15. pwb welcome_user (users participating to the edit-a-thon having created articles)
16. pwb register_article_project (adding section on talk page, show linked Qnumbers)
