I think basically every bot in the list would benefit from (more)
maintainers:
IRC bots:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bots
on wiki bots:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Bot_accounts
And in general bots that work on Gerrit probably need their equivalent
in Gitlab and bots working on IRC might need their equivalent on Slack
(which unfortunately became standard for many but lack both volunteers
and bots).

The Third Wikidata Workshop
Second Call for Papers
Co-located with the 21st International Conference on Semantic Web (ISWC
2022).
Date: October 23 or 24, 2022
The workshop will be held online, afternoon European time.
Website: https://wikidataworkshop.github.io/2022/
== Important dates ==
Papers due: Friday, 29 July 2022
Notification of accepted papers: Friday, September 23, 2022
Camera-ready papers due: Monday, October 3, 2022
Workshop date: October 23/24, 2022
== Overview ==
Wikidata is an openly available knowledge base, hosted by the Wikimedia
Foundation. It can be accessed and edited by both humans and machines and
acts as a common structured-data repository for several Wikimedia projects,
including Wikipedia, Wiktionary, and Wikisource. It is used in a variety of
applications by researchers and practitioners alike.
In recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of publications
around Wikidata. While there are several dedicated venues for the broader
Wikidata community to meet, none of them focuses on publishing original,
peer-reviewed research. This workshop fills this gap - we hope to provide a
forum to build this fledgling scientific community and promote novel work
and resources that support it.
The workshop primarily seeks original contributions that address the
opportunities and challenges of creating, contributing to, and using a
global, collaborative, open-domain, multilingual knowledge graph such as
Wikidata.
We encourage a range of submissions, including novel research, opinion
pieces, and descriptions of systems and resources, which are naturally
linked to Wikidata and its ecosystem or enabled by it. What we are less
interested in are works that use Wikidata alongside or in lieu of other
resources to carry out some computational task - unless the work feeds back
into the Wikidata ecosystem, for instance by improving or commenting on
some Wikidata aspect, or suggesting new design features, tools, and
practices.
This year, we also added a track for already published work. To foster
conversations around the topic of Wikidata, we invite authors of papers
published at other conferences to submit their papers to present at the
workshop. These will not be included in the proceedings but gives a chance
for authors to interact with the community.
We welcome interdisciplinary work, as well as interesting applications that
shed light on the benefits of Wikidata and discuss areas of improvement.
The workshop is planned as an interactive half-day event, in which most of
the time will be dedicated to discussions and exchange rather than oral
presentations. For this reason, all accepted papers will be presented in
short talks and accompanied by a poster. All works will be presented
online.
== Topics ==
Topics of submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Data quality and vandalism detection in Wikidata
- Referencing in Wikidata
- Anomaly, bias, or novelty detection in Wikidata
- Algorithms for aligning Wikidata with other knowledge graphs
- The Semantic Web and Wikidata
- Community interaction in Wikidata
- Multilingual aspects in Wikidata
- Machine learning approaches to improve data quality in Wikidata
- Tools, bots, and datasets for improving or evaluating Wikidata
- Participation, diversity, and inclusivity aspects in the Wikidata
ecosystem
- Human-bot interaction
- Managing knowledge evolution in Wikidata
- Abstract Wikipedia
== Submission guidelines ==
We welcome the following types of contributions.
= Track 1: Novel Works =
The papers in this track will be peer-reviewed by at least three
researchers. Accepted papers will be published as open access papers on
CEUR (authors can also waive this). We invite the following types of papers:
- Full research paper: Novel research contributions (7-12 pages)
- Short research paper: Novel research contributions of smaller scope than
full papers (3-6 pages)
- Position paper: Well-argued ideas and opinion pieces, not yet in the
scope of a research contribution (6-8 pages)
- Resource paper: New dataset or other resources directly relevant to
Wikidata, including the publication of that resource (8-12 pages)
- Demo paper: New system critically enabled by Wikidata (6-8 pages)
Submissions must be as PDF or HTML, formatted in the style of the Springer
Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For
details on the LNCS style, see Springer’s Author Instructions.
Papers have to be submitted through easychair (Please add “[NOVEL]” in the
beginning of the title on the submission page so we know that you are
submitting to this track):
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=wikidataworkshop2022
= Track 2: Published works =
This track welcomes papers previously published at a peer-reviewed research
venue, to be presented and discussed in the workshop. They do not have to
follow the formatting and page limit instructions from Track 1, and can
instead be submitted in the original format.
Previously published papers will be reviewed by the organising committee in
terms of topical fit and prominence of the publication venue. They will not
be published as part of the proceedings. We invite the following types of
papers:
- Full research paper: Previously published research contributions
- Resource paper: Previously published datasets or other resources that are
important or interesting to the community
- Demo paper: Presenting a previously published system critically enabled
by Wikidata
Papers have to be submitted through easychair (please add “[PUBLISHED]” in
the beginning of the title on the submission page so we know that you are
submitting to this track):
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=wikidataworkshop2022
== Proceedings ==
The complete set of papers from the Novel Works Track will be published
with the CEUR Workshop Proceedings (CEUR-WS.org).

Hello everyone,
The 19th South African Wikipedia meetup
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/South_Africa/South_Africa_19>
will be happening from 10:00 to 12:00 this Saturday (25 June). It will
happen on our Discord channel <https://discord.gg/HwBwHWWurr>.
An important issue I want to talk about with people joining us then is
Wikimania <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2022> which will
happen online from 12-14 August. More specifically hosting a local
face-to-face mini Wikimania conference in Cape Town and Johannesburg that
links up with the digitally held international event. For Cape Town it
currently looks like the University of Cape Town will have a venue for us.
It will be a nice opportunity to do an in person Wikipedia event following
COVID. It will also
As always we will also be talking about other Wikipedia based things going
on and answer any Wiki related questions.
Regards,
Douglas.

Dear all, see below.
Celtic Knot started as a focus on minority languages of the British Isles
and Brittany, but has now embraced minority languages in general.
Note that the workshops offered will benefit any small Wikipedia.

Hello all,
On behalf of the Celtic Knot Conference
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2022> organization
team, I’m happy to share some exciting news about the online event, taking
place in less than one month!
☘ You can now register for the online conference
The registration form
<
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/celtic-knot-conference-2022-tickets-33712523…
>
is now available and will remain open until and during the conference,
taking place online on July 1-2. Attendance is free of charge and doesn’t
include the satellite events
<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2022/Satellite_events
>
that may be organized by individuals or groups before or after the main
program.
Please note that registration is necessary to attend most of the sessions
of the conference, especially the 4 workshops that we offer during the
event.
For each workshop, you have two options:
-
Sign up as an active participant: you will be able to enable your
microphone and camera, share your screen, interact directly with the
speakers, and your participation will appear in the livestream for all
participants (limited spots available) ;
-
Join as a watcher: your sound and image don’t appear on the recording,
and you can interact with others via the chat.
☘ A first glimpse of the program
On the program page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2022/Online_program
>,
you can now see what the structure of the online event will look like: a
light program with one track and a lot of time to take breaks and watch the
asynchronous content of the conference.
We selected a few important topics out of the requests expressed in the
community survey, and we are currently working with experienced community
leaders to offer four workshops that will allow participants to upgrade
their skills and help their project grow:
-
Community growth
-
Organize or join an editing campaign
-
Databox, the simple Wikidata-powered infobox
-
Translate Wikidata properties in your languages
If you’re interested in one or several of these workshops, don’t forget to
register
<
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/celtic-knot-conference-2022-tickets-33712523…
>
!
As previously communicated, the collaborative part of the program takes the
shape of the “News from the Language Communities” session, where various
groups will present what they have been working on over the past year. More
information about these presentations will be added on the program page in
the next few weeks.
☘ Connect with participants
When you fill in the registration form, no data will be shared publicly ;
if you want to let other people know that you will attend the event, feel
free to add your name on the participants list
<
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Knot_Conference_2022/Knot_together#L…

To start connecting with other attendees ahead of the conference, you can
also join our social channels
