Do you know what “Stomatitis” is? Neither did I. But there is an article about it on German Wikipedia, and when I found it, it had a blank Wikidata item. Now, I happen to speak German, but I have run into plenty of other blank items with, say, a Russian Wikipedia article, which is not exactly my forte. I could go to Google translate, but oh so inconvenient. And then I’ll have to figure out which properties and items I should link to are. Easy enough for “human” (P31:Q5) to remember, but what was the item for “sex:female” again?<\/p>\n
Then I thought: I might not know what the text of the article says, but I bet it is in one or more categories. And these categories have other articles in them, articles similar to the article I can’t read. And many of these articles should have Wikidata items. So I could look at these items, see what statements are common among those, and some of the top ones will probably apply to my blank item as well.<\/p>\n
You all know what we need now: More tools! So I wrote some code on Labs, which will give me the “statement ranking” for a single language. I also wrote a JavaScript wrapper<\/a> around it. It will add a link called “Suggestor” to your toolbar on the left. This is what it looks like:<\/p>\n
