 I will summarise the current best practices with using Wikidata's data across various Wikimedia projects using Module:WikidataIB, including the Wikidata Infobox on Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata-powered infoboxes on Wikipedias, Listeria, and more. I will highlight successes and ongoing issues, and possible solutions for the future, both technical and social. Speakers: Mike Peel |

 This session seeks to demonstrate how to install and use Wikidata powered infoboxes for any language Wikipedia and even for incubator platforms to have the most beautiful and informative infobox ever which changes when the values of properties on Wikipedia change. It prevents the repetitive action of manually editing infoboxes and also reduces the overall time wasted in doing so. Speakers: Shahadusadik, Dnshitobu |
|
15min |
Wikivoyage: Connecting Wikivoyage with Wikidata
This session will showcase how Wikivoyage listings and listing editor help synchronize tourists points of interest, travel information and photos between Wikivoyage and Wikidata. The session will also talk about what happens when backend MediaWiki updates (e.g. parser) can break the listing editor. Speakers: OhanaUnited |

Using the Beam-me-up tool to fuse Wikidata information into FactGrid
Tim Holzheim's Beam-me-up tool is one of the most used gadgets in FactGrid. It fuses Wikidata information into FactGrid on selective requests. It understands the languages of both Wikibases, and it is able to create or augment items where needed. The tight alignment with Wikidata speeds up work on FactGrid, it helps us to avoid double records (as our Wikibase does not allow to link to a same Wikidata item from two of our items), and it enhances our readability in the upcoming world of federated queries and knowledge graphs. Not everyone, however, is happy with the consequences since FactGrid is not designed to act as a Wikidata copy - nor do we know whether we want to support the Wikidata data modelling throughout our base. Speakers: Olaf Simons |

 We will look at tools that help you use Wikidata to create lists for article creation or improvement on Wikipedia. This can be really helpful when you are running an event and want to create an event page with some target pages to be worked on. We will discuss the pros and cons of each tool, and how to use it in a workflow. Tools will include Listeria, the Wikilist tool, and Petscan. DrThneed will present her workflows for using the tools, and allow time for discussion to participants can also contribute their ideas and experiences so we can all learn from each other. Speakers: DrThneed |

Bug Triage Hour - Watchlists / Recent Changes
