What do you think about Abstract Wikipedia? in c/technology@lemmy.world

This is an encyclopedia, so there are no pronouns like "I", so this simplifies this issue. The remaining ones are in the third person, and if we link them to data about the person that is referred to it would solve this. A longuist doesn't necessarily need to know a language in order to analyze its grammar, and a lot of the work needed in Wikifunctions is like this.

The site itself is for contributors who want to create functions and write code for them. Examples of how it might be used in the future for articles:

  • Z11884 for articles about chemicals.
  • Z11302 for use in prose.

What do you think about Abstract Wikipedia? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 

Wikifunctions is a new site that has been added to the list of sites operated by WMF. I definitely see uses for it in automating updates on Wikipedia and bots (and also for programmers to reference), but their goal is to translate Wikipedia articles to more languages by writing them in code that has a lot of linguistic information. I have mixed feelings about this, as I don't like existing programs that automatically generate articles (see the Cebuano and Dutch Wikipedias), and I worry that the system will be too complicated for average people.

It's only on the blahaj.zone web UI. Lemmy.world has a newer version.

This comment has a timestamp in the future. It says "in 8 hours" for me.
