Watch a Wikidata query

Problem: When adding data to Wikidata, it's difficult to check if it continues to be consistent. Example: check if someone updates the population in a list of cities without monitoring each item in the Watchlist.

Who would benefit: Data curators in Wikidata

Proposed solution: Add a query, tested in the WDQS, to a page and run it with a custom frequency (once per day/week) similar to Wikidata:Database reports

More comments: I currently use this workflow: prepare the query, create a Listeria page under my profile in itwiki, and check the diff in the Watchlist.

@Sabas88: Could you clarify how your request is different than Listeria? Ryan Kaldari (WMF) (talk) 00:32, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is this covered by Wikidata SPARQL Recent Changes? Ainali (talk) 14:50, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That's cool! I didn't know it! If there would be an RSS feed it would be really useful. To answer also @Ryan Kaldari (WMF):'s question, my request is to consider more integration of these tools in the Wikidata interface. The Watchlist has a RSS feed directly accessible in the Tools in left menu, and to monitor a page I need only to star that page, how to simplify the process also for Wikidata queries? --Sabas88 (talk) 11:58, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Might be possible to implement this as a "Watch related changes", grouping the related changes feed of a query results page into the watchlist, similar to #Watchlist created on categories proposal above. Yair rand (talk) 22:10, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
