🎊 Events https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Events
- Upcoming - Live editing session on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/belett, in French, by Vigneron, September 26 at 18:00 CEST (UTC+2) - Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group Wikidata Working Hour September 30, 2022: the seventh Wikidata Working Hour in the series will be a review session of creating contributor and publisher items in Wikidata. The primary goal of this session is to generate as many contributor and publisher items as we can in advance of the two following sessions which have to do with batch editing -- we want enough to make a good batch! We will review how to add items, but then reserve the bulk of the session for open editing, kind of like a mini-editathon! Naturally, participants can ask questions and share thoughts at any point during the editing! You are, as always, welcome to bring your own data to work on. All sessions in the project series will be recorded. Links will be added when available.

🧰 Tool of the week
- User:Bovlb/notability.js https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Bovlb/notability.js is a userscript that adds a small notability indicator to the top right of an item showing how well the item satisfies the three notability criteria. Left to right, the three columns indicate sitelinks, identifiers and references, and structural need.
