Help:Create your own lists

The RecordWizard allow anyone to import words to record from already existing word lists. Those lists are wiki pages stored in the List namespace. Thus, any logged contributor can create its own lists or edit existing one.

Create a new list

Lists are stored on Lingua Libre as standard wikipages. Their names are standardized; it starts with the code ISO 639-3 (complete list available here) of the language used in the list, the slash "/" punctuation mark, and at last the name you want to give to your word list. For example, for a list of vegetables in English: Eng/Vegetables.

Enter the name of your list (as explained in the previous paragraph) in the textbox below to create your list. You will then be able to add words to it. It should be formated as follow:

• One word per line;
• Words can be preceded by a single # or *;
• Do not leave any comments inside your list, otherwise they will be treated as words to record.

Generate lists from queries

It is possible to generate lists coming from Wikidata Items or Lexemes (using Wikidata's Query Service) or Petscan.

To generate lists from Wikidata

• go to the 3rd step of the Record Wizard ("Details")
• click on the button "External tools" on the bottom right corner
• in the dialog window that appears, you can add the link of a Wikidata query and choose the number of words you want to get from it

600px

Requirements for the query

• The query must return the Qid (or the Lid-Fid for Forms) in a column named "?id", and the corresponding text in a column named "?label"
• The link must be a link to the query interface (not the direct result) and should not be shortened

Examples of queries that you can use or edit

• For items: ...todo

• For Lexemes: List of French nouns that have no audio recording added

SELECT ?id ?label WHERE {
  ?l a ontolex:LexicalEntry ; dct:language wd:Q150 ; wikibase:lexicalCategory wd:Q1084 ; ontolex:lexicalForm ?id .
  ?id ontolex:representation ?label .
  FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?id wdt:P443 ?audio. }
}
