Hello everyone,
The Wikidata Leveling Up Days https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024 are a series of online events and a collection of useful contents to help people get on board with Wikidata. The events will take place from April 5th to 7th and from April 12th to 14th, and will include a wide variety of presentations, workshops and discussions covering the basics of Wikidata: get started, browse and query Wikidata, enhance your editing experience, ensure data quality, and connect Wikidata with sister projects.
The event will give the occasion to both new and seasoned editors to get together and exchange ideas and tips. Some sessions are already planned in the schedule, but the program is open: community trainers and organizers are welcome to schedule their own self-organized sessions, at the time that suits them best, and in the language that would be accessible to their peers. If you’re interested in scheduling your own session, you’ll find guidance on this page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024/Get_involved .
The Leveling Up Days are also a collection of introduction videos, recorded in advance with experienced Wikidata editors, that will soon be available online. We will make sure that the videos are available ahead of the event, so people can watch them at their own pace. The videos will include translatable captions, so you will be able to help us make this useful content accessible to a wide range of Wikidata newcomers.
The online event is open to everyone without registration, but if you’re interested in attending, feel free to sign up here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024/Participants. You can also join our help desk channel https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024/Help_desk where we will have Q&A sessions.
And last but not least: please help us reach out to people who may be interested in learning more about Wikidata: feel free to share or transfer this message to the channels, mailing-lists and groups where it could be relevant.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
See you around at the Leveling Up Days! Best,
Hello all,
Here's a quick update about the Wikidata Leveling Up Days: most pre-recorded videos of the event are now uploaded on Commons and Youtube. You can find them on *the program page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024*.
We wanted to give you some time ahead of the event to watch the videos at your own pace, even if we'll watch them again together during the event, with live Q&A, on *April 5-7 and 12-14*.
We provided English captions to the videos. If you're interested in *translating these captions* to other languages, you can do so on Commons, you will find a quick guide here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024/Get_involved#Translate_the_video_captions .
We are looking forward to seeing you at the event - feel free to sign up here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024/Participants. You can also join our help desk channel https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024/Help_desk where we will have Q&A sessions.

Hello all,
As a reminder, the Wikidata Leveling Up Days are coming up this month!
We prepared for you *14 short videos to cover everything that you need to know to get involved with Wikidata*. You can watch them at your own pace on Wikimedia Commons https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikidata_Leveling_Up_Days_2024_videos or on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLduaHBu_3ejNsjilXbEdD2eQjUG2yAyTA. English captions are available, and you can contribute to translate these captions on Commons.
You can also join us for the *live online event* taking place during the upcoming week-ends, on *April 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14*. On each day, you will be able to explore a specific topic, watch or re-watch the videos together, ask questions to the speakers, or attend additional workshops. We will also have sessions dedicated to asking questions (Wikidata Clinic) and to edit Wikidata together (open live editing). You will find the *schedule and all the details on the main event page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Leveling_Up_Days_2024*.
For event-related announcements, discussions and questions, we will use the Wikidata Help Telegram channel https://t.me/wikidatachat - feel free to join it ahead of the event, and if you’re an experienced editor, you can join it as well to help answer newcomers' questions.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at the Wikidata Leveling Up Days!
