Hi Jan and Wikidatans,

Thanks very much for you good ideas and sharing of related resources, Jan. 

In terms of planning for list generation and "lists of lists," or very very large lists, at the cellular or neuronal level, for example, what if every cell in a human brain could somehow have an unique biological identifier (possibly trillions of cells), with enough Wikidata information associated with each biologically marked cell, such that it could inform a film-realistic 3D interactive group build-able wiki virtual world (something like Google Street View with time slider, with OpenSim, conceptually - but very precise) and planned for all 7,943+ languages - at the neuronal level (with a computational model of the neuron corresponding with a biological model of the neuron for developing AI). How would I add such a list, or how would I add how to add this to a Wikidata help page, or create a video tutorial about this?

Similarly, what if every atom in the universe had an unique atomic identifier ... how would such enormous lists work in Wikidata - and in relation to biological engineering, as well a modeling in a film-realistic virtual universe some years' out? 

Thank you, 

Kind regards, Scott

Hi Scott,

While https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_generation_input/Scenario_C_splitting might go a little bit in the right direction, I'm mainly interested in how I and a help page could clarify adding new lists at this point to Wikipedia and Wikidata.

I think this is an important topic. However, as far as I got this, how exactly lists are added/introduced to Wikipedia(s) depends on community opinion and RFCs. So even if someone would provide a tutorial how that would work, it would not be possible to act on that right now. Thus, it is not in focus for the feedback on scenarios.

I assume that User:Jens_Ohlig_(WMDE) and User:Lea_Lacroix_(WMDE) are working on tutorials in the near future, however, this is coming, but not worked on right now. What exists though already, are  videos. Take a look at the recent https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/2016_09_03 (see the events section)

Hope that helps,
 Jan
