Hello all, I am excited to announce the next edition of the WikidataCon <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2025>, taking place over three days from 31st October to 2nd November later this year. Organised by Wikimedia Germany, this event celebrates the entire Wikidata Community in all of its aspects; editors, tool builders, patrollers, data reusers, members of GLAM and other organisations that use and contribute to Wikidata. This year, the event format will be an online-style conference with a full online-program that attendees can join and participate with program-content from anywhere in the world. We also encourage local chapters and community user groups to organise in-person meetups alongside the event to bring people together and also celebrate Wikidata becoming a teenager for its 13th Birthday (October 29th). What kind of sessions to expect at WikidataCon 2025 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2025>? - Learn more about basic and advanced editing skills - Workshops, live-editing, games and discussions - Exchange tips and tricks with Wikidata experts - Discover community-built tools and gadgets - Hear about new WikiProjects and initiatives In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be revealing more details on the program content, call for proposals, daily schedule, themes and program tracks. Please check Wikidata:WikidataCon 2025 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikidataCon_2025> regularly for more info. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to the organisers at info(a)wikidatacon.org or by leaving a message on the event talk page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikidataCon_2025>.

Patel-Schneider <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Peter_F._Patel-Schneider> and Egezort <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Egezort>) want to run a course on the Wikidata Ontology for a limited number of participants. Designed for those already familiar with Wikidata, it will present information about ontologies and how they form the core of Wikidata, incorporating several exercises on analyses of and fixes to the Wikidata ontology. Upon successful completion (ending with a group project in consultation by us), participants will receive certificates. Please give feedback and suggestions to improve the structure and course content (found in more detail at WikiProject:Ontology Course <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Ontology/Ontology_Course>) which will be incorporated into our Wikimedia rapid grant application <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid> to support the effort. Interested in helping or want to share your thoughts? Let us know <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_Ontology/Ontology_C…> . - Several database changes will impact Wikidata in the coming months, including the migration of the term store (wbt_ tables) to a dedicated cluster to improve performance and enable future growth. This move will speed up most Wikidata SQL queries but prevent direct joins between term store data and other Wikidata tables. Additionally, the wb_type table will be removed, with its mapping hardcoded in Wikibase, simplifying the codebase.

Next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, 4 February 2025
by Hilary K Thorsen 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Hello, everyone – We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, February 4, 2025 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1738688400>). Eric Willey will be facilitating a series of four sessions focused on starting a Wikidata project from the foundation up at your institution. Sessions will be held on February 4, February 18, March 4, and March 18, 2025 at our regular time of 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET. Here is the plan for the series sessions: Session 1 (February 4): Selling it to Admin Projects need staff time or money to succeed, and we’re all short on both. This session will discuss strategies for convincing your administrators that allocating resources to a Wikidata Project will benefit your users and institution. While Eric works in a university library, this discussion is intended to be as broad as possible and participants from GLAM or other institutions outside the academic library setting are very welcome! Session 2 (February 18): Choosing a Project We don’t need to reinvent the can of worms just to nail jell-o to a half-baked pie. This session will focus on current and historical Wikidata projects on various themes and their documentation/outcomes, along with other resources for your project. Those resources can be re-used or adapted to a project at your institution, giving you a valuable head-start and eliminating some of the planning and initial groundwork. Session 3 (March 4): Making the Most of Your Time and Work There is a saying in the Midwest, “If something is stuck don’t use force, just get a bigger hammer.” This session will focus on tools, gadgets and strategies to maximize your time and resources, automate work, and achieve more outcomes for your project. There are too many great resources to do a deep dive into each, but attendees will be introduced to a variety of tools they can then follow-up on for their own work. Session 4 (March 18): Reporting Your Outcomes and Results In the movie Mad Max: Fury Road, War Boy and open linked data enthusiast Nux says, “Witness me, shiny and chrome!” This session will focus on reporting back on your project once it’s over. Various tools for data visualization and other ways to demonstrate the impact and outcomes of your project to administration and interested parties will be discussed. Again, these will not be deep dives into any one tool or platform in favor of providing a variety of options for attendees to select which suits them best. The call details are below. Sessions will be recorded, and the plan is to submit them for inclusion on Wikimedia Commons. Attendees should be aware that their remarks (written, verbal, or otherwise) will be included in those recordings. To receive notifications about upcoming calls and session information you can subscribe to the <https://groups.google.com/d/forum/ld4-wikidata> ld4-wikidata Google Group<https://groups.google.com/d/forum/ld4-wikidata>. Call Details: Date and Time: Tuesday, 4 February, 2025 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1738688400>) Zoom link to join meeting: Join Zoom Meeting https://illinoisstate.zoom.us/j/89970115196?pwd=fGxTP0osbFjaGCGxYB3SewrORK9… Meeting ID: 899 7011 5196 Passcode: 229620 Series event page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Gr… The LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the LD4 Community and investigates how libraries can contribute to and better integrate library metadata with Wikidata to improve access to library resources on the web. The Affinity Group calls provide an informal space to share information and learn more about Wikidata.
