Hoi,
Property P5008 - [1] "on focus list of Wikimedia project" is used for
several projects most recently for editathons organised by Amnesty
International and the UK chapter in twenty countries. To appreciate the use
of this functionality, the "Black Lunch Table" [2] uses it already for a
long time to identify targets for editathons. This is achieved by using
qualifiers for the location of the editathon and for the date. This [3] is
one example of this in use.
What makes the use of this property in combination with Listeria list is
that when used for multiple Wikipedias it shows really well what exists as
an article and what not. Listeria does daily updates and, in principle it
does so on every Wikipedia (the mechanism to trigger this I am still to
find out.
In addition I aim to achieve more interest for articles about Africa and
for content in African languages. I tweet using #AfricaGap about this. The
challenge is to expose available content and thereby making it obvious how
little we know and what gets done. This [4] is a page with information in
Yoruba. Obviously I do not speak Yoruba, Swahili, Igbo or Zulu and
consequently my texts are in English but the information will show in those
languages. They too are Listeria lists and it makes it painfully obvious
how little we know about Africa (politicians) in any and all of Wikimedia.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi there,
I'm doing some research on WikiData and wondering whether there is a list
of projects/sites that either a) make use of WikiData to power their
projects or that b) WikiData extracts data from in order to populate items.
I can see some projects listed in External Tools [1] but can't seem to find
lists of projects beyond this.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks.
Best,
Heather.
