Hoi,

What we use is "catalog" "Black Lunch Table". It has qualifiers for the place of the editathon. This allows us to subset the data. We only maintain the data once. We have subsets for women only and for the people near Toronto..

As to the data; it is maintained in Wikidata and it is shown in any Wikipedia. So the same data can live in multiple Wikipedias and will be updated daily or manually. As and when required. One set of data for all purposes..

PS We could have a subset for BLT people who are also a member of "Alpha Kappa Alpha".. or studied at Harvard. That is the power of query.

Thanks,

GerardM

Right: there’s no property Category. See these discussions

Did you add it as “item’s main category”? That’s incorrect, since that’s inverse of “category’s main item”,
and a category is supposed to have a single main item (e.g. page France vs category France).

How did you tag “of interest to”?

You can put it on any wiki page, eg a Wikidata discussion or project page.
