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!

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

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,
