WikiLearn courses on OpenRefine
by Sara Thomas 05 Dec '24

05 Dec '24

Hi there folks, Just to let you know that there are now two courses available on WikiLearn about getting started with OpenRefine: * OpenRefine for Wikidata - basics: https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:WikimediaFoundation+WMF_GLAM001+2024/a… * OpenRefine for Wikimedia Commons - basics: https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2023/… I've linked here to the English language versions; the Commons course already has a few different translations. The production of these was supported by the Foundation's grant toward the OpenRefine product, including the Train the Trainer course that I attended over the last year, and I helped put together the Wikidata course. OpenRefine is a big tool that can do some great things in terms of bulk edits and uploads, but it can be quite a lot to get your head around. Hopefully these courses can help! If you've not used WikiLearn before, it's a learning platform for the Wikimedia movement, and all you need to sign in or sign up is a Wikimedia account. There are courses there on a variety of topics - it's still relatively early days, but I'm quite enthusiastic about the possibilities...
