I have a very basic question, to do with navigating Wikipedia's
categories. Is there a sensible way to query the category system (or
extracts, e.g. to DBPedia) to produce a side-by-side comparison of how
many pages on♀vs ♂ [might as well add: vs ⚧, i.e. nonbinary] academics
there are in existence on Wikipedia?
I have written biographies of third gender academics as well as those who appear not to have published gender info. Finding relable sources on this facet of private people is very, very hard and likely to be a stumbling block to actually writing articles.
Cheers
