Hi all The Mix n' Match lists are amazing, very surprising that 1/4 of World Heritage sites don't have an en.wiki article, I assume some of this is where the WHS status is for an area combining more than one structure.
It appears Wikidata is the way to go, I will work some more on "is of interest to UNESCO", the main list of topics initially would be: - World Heritage Sites - Man and the Biosphere reserves - Global Geoparks Network - Memory of the World Programme - Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity - International days observed by UNESCO - UNESCO prizes - The UNESCO art collection Would Mix n' Match be the best way to add Wikidata items for each of the things covered by these programmes? I can provide spreadsheets of items for each with properties.
