This might be a bit off topic, but have you seen this really new
collaboration tool?

I suggested something with, I think, similar
functionality for the
Community Wishlist Survey last time; got many supports but it didn’t make
the top. Is this what you’d like to see as well, Erika?

In the Dutch gender gap project on nlwiki we have similarly daunting task
lists. Our working group is pro-Wikidata, we use it to inspire our task
lists, but I’m sure that appropriate tools would make our workload there
much lighter.
Here’s an example of something that comes close - an auto-updating list of
important female visual artists who don’t have articles on nlwiki yet, a
list generated from Wikidata - but it would be so great if we could add
columns to suggest translations from other language Wikipedias, for
instance, and if such lists would be easier to generate and create, also by
non-Wikidata-or SPARQL-savvy people.

Hi Wikidatans,
Inspired by the Zika corpus project at WikiCite 2016,[1] I wanted to see
if it was (a) possible and (b) practical to set up an automatically
updating table (ideally for use in Wikipedia but pulling from Wikidata)
that would allow the Black Lunch Table Project initiative on Wikipedia to
automate and customize their Task List -- which is somewhat massive.[2]
Heather Hart from Black Lunch Table holds editathons all over North
America,[3] and I think they will be intersectional with some of the other
Wikipedia initiatives. So for events in places like North Carolina or New
Orleans, it would be helpful for her to be able to pull artists from those
communities. And for Art+Feminism in March, it would be helpful for her to
be able to pull artists who are female-identifying.
We set up some categories as a way to granulate a possible SPARQL query:
- Wikipedia category:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Visual_artists_of_
the_African_diaspora
- Wikimedia Commons category:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Visual_artists_
of_the_African_diaspora
Wikidata item:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28654190
Right now the task list is approaching 1,000 entries, and I assume the
task list will only grow as it is a crowdsourced list. It is understood
that obviously not all entrants are notable, and many are at mid-career
levels, so even a stub might be stretching it to be on Wikipedia. But a
solid percentage are definitely notable and are deserving of pages.
I was also thinking that this sort of functionality would be helpful for
other initiatives -- maybe also Art+Feminism -- so this process might be
transferrable for others too.
Goal: To automate the task list process somewhat.
And at minimum would be a good Wikidata project.
I think that even exploring the possibilities here has been very fruitful
and illustrative of Wikidata's functionality for both myself and
Heather/Black Lunch Table Project. I think it might also provide very
positive outreach for others as well.
Best,
- Erika
