Thanks Magnus, I hadn't noticed this sync
function.
When I open the sync page, it says "24 connections on Wikidata, but not
here". I clicked on "Update Mix'n'match", and after a while it
says
"Done", but when I refresh the page, it still says there are 24
connections. When I started it said 27, then after one update it was 26,
then 24, but now I can't get it any lower. I wonder what's going on?
There may be items with YSO IDs on Wikidata that are not in Mix'n'match.
It also says "3 connections here, but not on Wikidata". When I click on
Update Wikidata, I get to the Quick Statements tool, with three
statements that I suppose would add the missing connections. But when I
click on "Do it" nothing happens. I also checked the 3 generated YSO ID
statements, but they were already in Wikidata, added several days ago!
When you say "nothing happens", did you scroll down? There's a bug that
shows the manual again, so the edits are going on "below the fold".
The "diff" functionality for sync uses the Wikidata SPARQL interface, which
might lack the odd statement. Or the Q item in Mix'n'match is now deleted,
or a redirect, in which case editing won't work.
So something seems fishy here, the numbers don't quite add up and
apparently not everything can be synced between Mix'n'match and
Wikidata. But I think the important information got synced, so all is
(relatively) well.
Automation can only cope with so much human activity :-(
Part of the reason may be that there are a few YSO
concepts that are
linked to from Wikidata entities using the same YSO ID property, but
these are not included in the "YSO Places" catalog in Mix'n'match
because they are not places. I suspect at least some of those "24
connections on Wikidata, but not here" may be like that - they don't
match any of the IDs in the YSO Places catalog.

There is a sync function per catalog, in your
case:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/sync/473
This is also linked from the "Action" drop-down menu for the respective
catalog.
I am running it now, so should be low numbers (14 not on Wikidata when I
got there).

Hi,
We're more than halfway through mapping YSO places to Wikidata. Most
of
the remaining are places that don't exist
in Wikidata, and adding
them
is quite labor-intensive so we will have to
consider our strategy.
Anyway, I did some checking of what remains unmapped and noticed a
potential problem: some mappings for places that we have mapped using
Mix'n'match have not actually been stored in Wikidata. For example
Q36
Poland ("Puola" in YSO Places) is
such a case. In Mix'n'match it is
shown as manually matched (see attached screenshot), but in Wikidata
the
corresponding YSO ID property doesn't
actually exist for the entity.
I
checked the change history of the Q36 entity
and couldn't find
anything
relevant there, so it seems that the mapping
was never stored in
Wikidata. Maybe there was a transient error of some kind?
Another such case was Q1754 Stockholm ("Tukholma" in YSO places). But
for that one we removed the existing mapping in Mix'n'match and set
it
again, and now it is properly stored in
Wikidata.
Mix'n'match currently reports 4228 mappings for YSO places, while a
SPARQL query for the Wikidata endpoint returns 4221 such mappings.
So I
suspect that this only affects a small number
of entities.
Is it possible to compare the Mix'n'match mappings with what actually
exists in Wikidata, and somehow re-sync them? Or just to get the
mappings out from Mix'n'match and compare them with what exists in
Wikidata, so that the few missing mappings may be added there
manually?
Thanks,
Osma
