Welcome to the Swedish Glacier Tour

Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata! This tour will take you through the steps for adding Swedish glaciers. Adding references and names in local language is important as we can easier connect different data domains with each other and we can displayed things on maps, in Wikipedia articles and any other websites which use Wikidata. Also by connecting more sources with each other we can start checking the quality of the data we use and in the long run this data is also visible in the WIkipedia article and the article gets better trust with good referencies.

If there are any terms in this tour you would like a definition for please see the Wikidata:Glossary
