- Abstract
Wikidata is a powerful tool for small language communities. We can invoke Wikidata and have up-to-date information on a huge variety of topics, reducing the time we waste on template maintenance and centering ourselves on article edition. It's a while since we started to have fully automatic templates in the Basque Wikipedia and the article creation workflow has been dramatically increased, while the templates are now more coherent, better organized and with standard labels. As a small community, this is like a dream that can only go better, as more data will always be available.
- What will attendees take away from this session?
- How we invoke Wikidata and use specialized modules and templates to handle it.
- How small Wikipedias can take advantage of this technology
- What we have learnt in the way about lack of data on certain topics
- What is still impossible, because of technology or data scarcity.
- Slides or further information
- Special requests
