JanKind Regards,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).Message: 1

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
