"badge" for bridge enabled infoboxes

To follow them on Wikidata, wouldn't it be interesting to apply a badge to the sitelinks for such templates?

Hello there, I think that you two talk about different things :)

Jura suggests a badge that would be displayed on Wikidata, next to the Wikipedia sitelink, such as the quality badges. We didn't plan this so far, we would need to see how we can retrieve the information that a Wikipedia page uses a Bridge-powered infobox.

The template mentioned by Amadalvarez can be included in the design of the infobox on Wikipedia. We could indeed think about how a Bridge-powered infobox could be visually recognized from another infobox, without having to click on the edit button.

Thanks for both suggestions!

Thanks, @Lea Lacroix (WMDE). I see now.

Taking advantage that @Charlie Kritschmar (WMDE) did the "powered by Wikidata logo", may I suggest you to create a similar style image to included in the templates documentation page ?.

Thanks

Hm .. interesting ideas, something like Special:GlobalUsage/Wikidata_Stamp_Rec_Light.svg could be used to track usage.

I think most badges at Wikidata are bot added/maintained (based on categories), this could easily be expanded to this usecase. I suppose the badge could be non-visual, e.g. merely found by query.

Here is an item that could be used:

Also one for the usecase mentioned by Amadalvarez:

Would you kindly make both available at Wikidata?

Amadalvarez (talkcontribs)

Yes, of course. Could we use d:property:P1552 to add the tag in templates affected ?

Jura1 (talkcontribs)

It would go on the sitelinks once it set up by the devs (see d:Help:Badges )

Amadalvarez (talkcontribs)

Ah. Obviously, because is not a characteristic of template, but of template use in a site.

Hello there,

I created a Phabricator task. However, just to be transparent with you, this is not a priority for us at the moment: first, we want to actually finish developing the first version of the Bridge, get it out on some wikis and support the communities to use it, after that we can consider enabling a badge :)

Thanks, @Lea Lacroix (WMDE). Obviously, priorities are priorities. I take advantage to inform you that all our WD_Powered infoboxes are ready to link with Bridge. If you wish, you can account on us to make tests.
