* Sarah Kasten has put together a fun Hallowe'en-themed program involving
WITCHYDATA, so please join us. We will be adding items to Wikidata related to podcasts on
witches and witchcraft. As a continuation of the last Working Hour, where we focused on
adding the Goodreads identifier to Wikidata items, we will pay special attention to adding
identifiers to our new entries and see how they help us use the Entity Explosion browser
add-on by Toby Hudson.
