I don’t check my watchlists on most wikis very frequently – please {{ ping }} me!
Other accounts
- User:Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)
- I work at Wikimedia Deutschland (as an intern from April 1, 2017 until March 31, 2018, as a working student from April 1, 2018 until October 31, 2018, and as a full-time employee since November 1, 2018), and use this account for any related activity.
- User:TweetsFactsAndQueries
- The Wikimedia account for @WikidataFacts (Mastodon, formerly also Twitter ). (Formerly also called User:WikidataFacts, but renamed when someone at German Wikipedia complained about the “Wikidata” in the name.) Back when I registered this account, WikidataFacts was still anonymous, so I used it e.g. to register for a few events; otherwise I probably would’ve just used my clear-name account and not registered a separate one. But now that it exists, I still use TweetsFactsAndQueries for some query-specific activity.
- User:Lucas Werkmeister CI
- For automated tests of different tools. “CI” stands for continuous integration ; the systems where these automated tests run shouldn’t have access to my privileged main account.
- User:Lucas Werkmeister CI (WMDE)
- The WMDE version of a CI-only account.
Lucas Werkmeister , Lucas Werkmeister CI and Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE) also exist on the Beta Cluster .
I work at Wikimedia Deutschland , see above .

I was a member of CAcert Inc. until June 30, 2016. I worked on the Ceylon programming language until ca. mid-2018. I was founding member of the now-defunct World Privacy and Identity Association . |
Tools
In my private time (i. e., not as part of my WMDE work), I’ve written the following tools:
- Wikidata Lexeme Forms , a tool to create Wikidata lexemes with a set of forms (e. g. declensions of nouns)
- Wikidata Image Positions , a tool to show and add “relative position within image” qualifiers on “depicted” statements of Wikidata items
- Wikidata Shape Expressions Inference , a tool to infer schemas from sets of exemplary Wikidata items (part of my master thesis)
- Wikibase to RDF , a tool to convert entities from Wikibase’ native JSON format into RDF
- SpeedPatrolling , a tool to assist in patrolling recent changes on Wikidata
- QuickCategories , a tool to quickly add and remove categories from pages
- AC/DC , a Wikimedia Commons gadget to add statements to files in bulk
- PagePile Visual Filter , an auxiliary tool for PagePile to visually select a subset of a pile
- Ranker , a tool to edit the rank of multiple statements at once
- Translate Link , a tool to create links for translating specific messages on translatewiki.net
- Codex Playground , a website to experiment with the Codex design system

If you’re interested in co-maintaining any of them, please let me know: I’d be very happy to reduce the “bus factor” for these tools by finding other people who can take care of them. This doesn’t necessarily require strong programming skills: sometimes you might just need to restart the web service , and the most common maintenance task for the Lexeme Forms tool, for example, is to add new templates provided by the community to the list of templates , which is essentially a transcription task.
