Hi Scott, Thanks for your suggestion!
I'd love to have more good information on using Wikidata. I assume, though, that putting it to the Scenarios for *List generation input *maybe not the best place (although the name suggests input in general, and I am guilty of not choosing a more specific title!) The scenarios currently concern sharing the (real life) workflows of people who generate lists, so it may run counter the idea of suggesting/teaching workflows there (although a beginners might find them to be useful examples!) If you want to create such a help page, feel free to link them on the List generation Input page (as said above, the title might suggest such content).
