Абстрактная Википедия
![]() | Название «Викиламбда» носит временный характер. Второй раунд голосования в Вики конкурса именования функций пройдет со 2 по 16 ноября. Wikifunctions needs a logo. Please help us to discuss the overall goals of the logo, to propose logo design ideas, and to give feedback on other designs. |

Проект
Этот проект состоит из двух частей: Абстрактной Википедии и Викилямбды.
The goal of Abstract Wikipedia is to let more people share more knowledge in more languages. Abstract Wikipedia is a conceptual extension of Wikidata.[1] In Abstract Wikipedia, people can create and maintain Wikipedia articles in a language-independent way. A Wikipedia in a language can translate this language-independent article into its language. Code does the translation.
Wikifunctions is a new Wikimedia project that allows anyone to create and maintain code. This is useful in many different ways. It provides a catalog of all kind of functions that anyone can call, write, maintain, and use. It also provides code that translates the language-independent article from Abstract Wikipedia into the language of a Wikipedia. This allows everyone to read the article in their language. Wikifunctions will use knowledge about words and entities from Wikidata.
Это приблизит нас к миру, где каждый может поделиться суммой всех знаний.
Что такое функция?
A “function” is a sequence of computer program instructions that makes a calculation based on data you provide. Functions are a form of knowledge that can answer questions, such as how many days have passed between two dates or the distance between two cities. More complicated functions can answer more complicated questions, such as the volume of a three dimensional shape, the distance between Mars and Venus on a certain date, or whether two species were alive at the same time. We already use functions in many types of knowledge inquiries, such as asking a question to a search engine. The templates known as {{convert}}
and {{age}}
in English are also examples of functionalities that are already used in many Wikipedias, written in wikitext and Lua and manually copied to each wiki where it's wanted.
More examples of functions are at Early function examples, and very rough sketches of how the interface might look are at Early mockups.
Короче говоря, функции производят расчет на основе предоставленных вами данных и отвечают на ваш вопрос по этому поводу.
This new Wikimedia project will build a library of functions, written by volunteers, to help answer questions like these across languages. By building out our library of functions, we can enable more people to access and explore free knowledge in new ways.
Что такое Абстрактная Википедия?
The term “Abstract Wikipedia” itself refers to the long-term goal – that this library of functions will someday enable the creation of language-independent articles. Once more pieces of this project are in place, this will mean that any wiki – especially small to medium wikis – will be able to dramatically increase the number of articles available in their language. It also means that editors can share knowledge from their culture and contexts with a larger and more global audience.
The new wiki of functions, Wikifunctions, will develop the coding infrastructure to make this vision possible. The Abstract Wikipedia part of the project will start in roughly 2022.
In other words: we will be able to combine the functions from the new wiki, with the data and linguistic-information in Wikidata, in order to generate natural language sentences in any supported languages. These sentences can then be used by any Wikipedia (or elsewhere).

Участвовать
- Редактировать
- Work on lexicographic knowledge in Wikidata. This will be needed for Abstract Wikipedia to succeed and can be worked on right now.
- Обсудить
- Talk:Abstract Wikipedia
- Выделенный список рассылки
- Telegram or IRC #wikipedia-abstractconnect (bridged together)
- Разработать
- mw:Extension:WikiLambda
- phabricator:tag/abstract wikipedia
- If you want to help with development, please let us know.
- Try it out
- You can see some early mockups for a rough idea of how the user interface might work.
- An unofficial test wiki for the WikiLambda extension is available. This is a very early version, it will get better over time.
- An early prototype implementation is available on Github. This may no longer be working with the latest MediaWiki releases.
- The easiest way to dive into the prototype is by reading the walkthrough.
- Alternative implementation in GraalVM
Введение
An article in the Signpost provides a more detailed introduction to the idea. The material below - research papers, videos of talks, prototype software - offers a lot of detail. A detailed draft plan for the development of Wikilambda is also available.
See the Historic proposal page for the long list of related discussions, papers, videos, and comparable proposals.
Highlights include:
- Short introductory video to Wikidata and the Abstract Wikipedia idea (New York, 2019) (18 min)
- Capturing meaning: Toward an abstract Wikipedia (short intro)
- Collaborating on the sum of all knowledge across languages (social aspects)

- ↑ The new components (listed in the development plan for Abstract Wikipedia) include extensions to Wikidata, whose integration (in the second year of the project) requires the agreement of the Wikidata community before storing the “abstract content” there or on another wiki (such as the new Wikifunctions wiki developed in the first part of the project, or another multilingual wiki).
