Hi Scott,

Thanks for your suggestion!

I'd love to have more good information on using Wikidata. I assume, though, that putting it to the Scenarios for List generation input maybe not the best place (although the name suggests input in general, and I am guilty of not choosing a more specific title!)
 
The scenarios currently concern sharing the (real life) workflows of people who generate lists, so it may run counter the idea of suggesting/teaching workflows there (although a beginners might find them to be useful examples!)

If you want to create such a help page, feel free to link them on the List generation Input page (as said above, the title might suggest such content).

Kind Regards,
 Jan

Hi Lea, Jan, Gerrard and All,

In terms of "List Generation Input," would it make sense to add a basic
intro tutorial (in video perhaps - is there one even?) about how to create
a new large list in the first place in Wikipedia based on Wikidata /
Wikibase, as well as a possible sandbox for exploring this? (When I google
searched on "starting a long list in Wikipedia," I found this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:List - "This help page explains how to
create and edit lists on the English Wikipedia," which also doesn't mention
Wikidata).

Say, for example, I wanted to create a complete list of all languages in
Wikipedia beginning with Glottolog's CC list here -
http://glottolog.org/glottolog/language - with 7,943 entries in languages
(to create wiki schools for open teaching and learning in those languages
(using WUaS's Subject Template -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE), how would I begin
to do this?  (WUaS donated CC WUaS to Wikidata last autumn). (Similarly
with all species, beginning with a complete CC list, for example, and in
order to eventually co-develop, for example, an all-species' image
recognition application - hold your smartphone up to any species anywhere,
and identify it - and in any language), how would I begin to add such lists
to Wikipedia with Wikidata?

Shall I add a scenario D to this page -
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_generation_input - with these
questions above?

Thank you, Scott
