Where it is well documented, has TODO's, and even poses questions
within it's sections for the community to improve or answer further on
it's discussion page.
To me, it's how all schemas should be developed, iterated upon, and
open collaboration with the community.
But collaboration on schemas could vastly be improved!
*IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTION:* Improve the collaboration on EntitySchema
editing. Extending the editor or building a new edit tool where the
community can comment on a particular line, that automatically pushes
to its Discussion as a topic, would be the icing on the cake. The
alternatives currently are folks using other platforms for
collaboration like GitHub and opening issue for the various
questionable lines of a ShEx. It would be better to have
collaboration entirely in Wikidata and utilizing Discussion tab
integration.

If you're interested in all new created schemas, you can actually
follow a feed for that.
There's a link to the atom feed on the left hand toolbar.

Hello Mike,
The category is not especially new, one can fill it every week
on
But it doesn't appear every week because I remove it when no
one adds Schema examples.
Basically, the idea is to add some interesting Schemas - not
all the newly created ones, that would be too much, but any
Schemas you find on Wikidata that you find especially
well-described or interesting for the community to know about.
To know more about EntitySchemas:Wikiproject Schemas
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Schemas>
I hope that answers your question :)
Cheers,

Hi,
Are not the 'Schema examples' a new category of reporting
in this summary? Is there a wiki reference that describes
this category more?
Thanks!
Best, Mike
