I'm also excited about this resource! 🎉 Very clean design and amazing pathways to choose from 🤩 great work!
A few suggestions for possible links/improvements: - The Wikidata section currently links to an empty page ( https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tutorial). - Would you like to try https://www.learnwikidata.net/ or h ttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tours instead? - Not sure if it'd be useful to include Wikidata Sparql Tutorial resources like https://query-reuser.toolforge.org/ or https://wdqs-tutorial.toolforge.org/ - Also, about finding a source for Wikipedia claims in 15 minutes: in my experience, that *can* happen, but often doesn't, especially on mobile. 📱 - May I suggest trying a mobile‑friendly approach <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Micro-task-structured-edits.webm>combining the microtask tool generator <https://microtask-generator.toolforge.org/>+ suggestion mode <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Suggestion_Mode>? You could also do something similar using https://projo.toolforge.org. If any of these tools/suggestions end up useful, I'd love to hear! But honestly, you've already built a beautiful foundation. 💛 Sorry I can't join the call, wishing you all the best with the launch! 🚀 On Wed, Sep 2, 2026 at 12:02 PM Asaf Bartov via African-Wikimedians < [email protected]> wrote: > Congratulations on creating this resource!
