Wikidata Working Hour September 30, 2022: the seventh Wikidata
Working Hour
in the series will be a review session of creating contributor and
publisher items in Wikidata. The primary goal of this session is to
generate as many contributor and publisher items as we can in advance of
the two following sessions which have to do with batch editing -- we want
enough to make a good batch! We will review how to add items, but then
reserve the bulk of the session for open editing, kind of like a
mini-editathon! Naturally, participants can ask questions and share
thoughts at any point during the editing! You are, as always, welcome to
bring your own data to work on. All sessions in the project
series will be
recorded. Links will be added when available. Event page

🧰 Tool of the week
- User:Bovlb/notability.js
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Bovlb/notability.js> is a userscript
that adds a small notability indicator to the top right of an item showing
how well the item satisfies the three notability criteria. Left to right,
the three columns indicate sitelinks, identifiers and references, and
structural need.
