Hi Wikidata-niks,
As part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art project, I am interested in
facilitating more public editing of Wikidata items for artwork through
external tools, including that by relative newbies who might have an
interest in art history.
One basic property for artworks that is particularly suited for this field
is Depicts (P180), for example saying that a particular painting depicts a
particular person (or building, or mountain, or divinity, or type of
clothing).
We can do this to some extent now with Listeria and its 'wdedit' option,
but this requires js customization and significant wiki background on the
user''s part.
I was thinking something like the Wikidata Distributed Game might be
interesting and broadly accessible to the public, but that tool currently
only allows multiple-choice edits, and doesn't have a text entry box option.
Would it be possible to have some WiDaR-sh tool that could fill this niche
for artworks?
I think it could be of very broad usefulness and interest to art
communities.
Thanks,
Pharos
