Thanks a lot, Andre! This was a question that indeed came up yesterday, and
also has come up over the past years several times.
If someone uses this extensively, I would invite you to document it a bit
(including examples what are helpful WLM-related messages etc) - I think it
would be helpful to other countries too. Please let me know if you'd be
willing to do some documentation there.
Lovely, everyone!
Best,
Lodewijk

== Mass contacting participants (or a subset of participants) ==
There are two methods I know for contacting the contributors to a
competition:
* MassMessage <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MassMessage> allows
messages to be sent out to the talk pages of a list of users.
* Massenmail
<https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Technik/Skin/Benutzerskripte/massenmail/en>
a short javascript by DerHexer to send mass messages using the "email this
user" function. It adds a button to the sidebar Tools section which
triggers an interface where you enter the list of users, a topic, content
and if you want a copy.
== Wikidata Migration ==
For teams interesting in mapping their data to Wikidata the starting point
is Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Status
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Status>. Click on
the link for your country in the "maping tables" column (@Deror that is
il_(he)
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/il_(he)>
for you) to start mapping. See e.g. the mapping for Iran
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/ir_(fa)>
as an example or give me a shout if you have any questions.
If your data is already on Wikidata then please also take a look in the
table to make sure we are aware of it.
