Hello people,
In our preparations to wrap-up this year's annual campaign, we would like you to add your event's statistics to Wikidata. Specifically, for each event that you organised please add information about
- location of the event
- number of participants
- point in time (i.e. when it happened)
- official website (ideally a dashboard link should suffice)
Why are we doing this?
This will allow us to properly organise our annual campaigns' metrics into structured data format so that we can query the data over time and location.
Will event organisers do this every year?
Yes! Event organisers should add this information to Wikidata during/after their program has happened until the end of an annual campaign cycle.
But how do I go about it?
This video on Wikimedia Commons (and its
talk page) demonstrates how you can add the 4 data points to Wikidata.
How do I get help if I'm stuck?
You can reach out to me directly, or ask publically on the Wikimedia Commons video talk page. We will also be hosting a community hours session in August to address any remaining challenges anyone might have. A date for the community hours will be communicated shortly.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
