## About the project

[Lexemes](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_data) on

[Wikidata](https:wikidata.org) currently often lack their *senses*. For nouns

we often also have an item corresponding to the senses. This tool provides an

easy way for the user to add senses to lexemes that are probably a match by

just clicking a button.

## How it works

The tool searches for such possible senses for existing lexemes using a

Wikidata Query that matches the lemma for the lexeme with items with same label

(in the same language) and adds them and the descriptions for the items to a

database.

The Flask-based web GUI then allows users to log in with their Wikimedia account

(using [OAUTH](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth/For_Developers)) and be

presented with the potential matches.

If the user accepts the match, the description of the item will be added as a

new sense and the item itself will be added with [P5137 (item for this

sense)](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P5137) to that sense.

## How to use

The tool is running on Toolforge:

https://tools.wmflabs.org/machtsinn/

After logging in, use the buttons *Save* or *Reject match* to decide if an item

really corresponds to a sense for the lexeme or not. Edits to Wikidata will be

made in your name. If you are unsure if it is a good match, click *Next*.
