===Task tracking===

HalloWelt! combines four extensions they created to make useful task tracking in (Semantic) MediaWiki

* [[mw:Extension:SimpleTasks|Extension:SimpleTasks]] Tasks are checklist items that can be checked on or off to indicate if the task is open or completed.

* [[mw:Extension:Checklists|Extension:Checklists]] Make lists of checkboxes.

*[[mw:Extension:SimpleTasks|Extension:SimpleTasks]] Tasks are checklist items that can be checked on or off to indicate if the task is open or completed.

===Fixing Wikidata===

Yaron Koren gave a great presentation ([https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fixing_Wikidata_-_SMWCon_2023.pdf slides]) called '''[http://wikiworks.com/enhanced-wikibase.html Enhanced Wikibase]''' on how [[Wikibase]] (and therefore Wikidata) are missing features. He showed how he implemented these missing features in a series of developments. One is showcased at [https://wikidatawalkabout.org/ Wikidata Walkabout] - a drill-down and query interface to Wikibase sites; powered by [https://github.com/sahajsk21/Anvesha Anvesha] - a JavaScript library.

===Natural Language Queries to Wikidata: A Naive Prototype===

Robert Timms - Sr. Software Engineer Wikibase Suite, Wikimedia Deutschland gave [https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/SMWCon_Fall_2023/Natural_Language_Queries_to_Wikidata:_A_Na%C3%AFve_Prototype a talk] ([https://github.com/rti/askwikidata code] [https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1YgDmcvoXaqnYdRyX5RxewVkeioEJ92nb8Sfb_halBsM slides] [https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1yRZshpNj0kXwY0XuUYw5ziqjw_RffxH- try it]) about querying Wikibase with an LLM. Not the goal of the talk, but he revealed some of the key drawbacks of using "AI" in the first place:

# Outdated information

# Prone to hallucinations

#[[File:Architecture - Ask Wikidata SMWCon 2023.png|alt=Application architecture|thumb|architecture]]Outdated information

# No sources (AI doesn't tell you how or why it claims to be authoritative.)

#No sources (AI doesn't tell you how or why it claims to be authoritative.)

This is supposed to be addressed in part by using the <abbr title="Retrieval-Augmented Generation">RAG</abbr> technique.
