Tools for the Swedish language Wiktionary

These Node.js tools may be useful for other wikis too, but are especially designed for the Swedish language Wiktionary.

Installation

  1. Install Node.js
  2. Get the source code
  3. Create a custom copy of conf.example.js and place it in conf.js
  4. Run whatever tools you want

Usage

Dumps

Some tools require a local dump of the wiki. In particular the following are useful:

General

The tools follow a general pattern:

  • Run a tool: node <tool>
  • The tool reads input data from data/
  • The tool outputs data to output/<tool>/

Common words

node common-words

Analyzes a dump and extracts used words from it and assigns a number to each word based on frequency.

  • By default, existence gives 1 point, and a link to it gives 10 points. Words that get less than 75 points are excluded.
  • Words contain only the characters listed at sv-wikt: diacritics, or the corresponding uppercase variant.
  • E.g. doesn't will be classified as two words: doesn and t.
  • All characters are allowed in links: [[table tennis]] will result in the single word table tennis for link points, while table and tennis will receive existence points.
  • Only words in Latin, Greek and ??? scripts are included.
  • Some text is removed:
    • Within some tags, e.g. <ref>
    • Within templates, e.g. {{wikipedia}}, except:
      • Content within semantic templates are included
      • The linked item in {{ö}} and {{ö-}} are included
  • If a word exists with multiple capitalizations, they are combined into a single result, using the most frequent capitalization.

Example and result:

Here's an [[orange]], here's an [[apple]], and here are two [[pear]]s.

[ ["orange",11], // both linked and exists
  ["apple",11],
  ["pear",10], // `pear` is linked, while the word that exists in the text is `pear`, see below
  ["here",3], // most common capitalization chosen
  ["s",2], // unfortunately, the dangling `s` is considered a word
  ["an",2],
  ["and",1],
  ["are",1],
  ["two",1],
  ["pears",1]
]

Filter existing

node common-words-filter-existing

Filters the list of words of existing words, based on the article title dump. Used on sv-wikt: wishlist.

Find non-printable characters

node find-nonprintable-chars

Generates a list of articles that contain non-printable characters that probably shouldn't be in a wiki.
