Hello all, What are the best tools and training materials you've found? Are they up-to-date? What do you recommend?
Several years ago I wrote a Wikipedia Workbook for Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami, which I am currently updating. The goal is an overview of the sorts of things that institutions can do with Wikipedia, Wikidata and Commons, with links to useful starting points for staff such as tools and training materials. Given that many of the Wiki interfaces and tools have changed over time, I am looking particularly for suggestions and updates. For example, many of the Art+Feminism resources are long gone. So what do you recommend?
Feel free to reply here or email me at celebration.women@gmail.com I am happy to share the new edition of the workbook when it is ready. -- Mary Mark Ockerbloom
I rarely share anything other than Wiki Education Foundation's training modules

I think your handbook is amazing! I’m looking forward to seeing the latest edition.
I have some materials that I’ve developed myself:
* my own general editing handbook that I’ve writtenhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1uKkkSEdQCf5P-gjtKRlM0bjiTp6MLbntqmsA1IyEDd0/edit?usp=sharing, based off of my training materials for my students * a special guide I wrote for writing children’s book pages (which also applies to other book pages)https://docs.google.com/document/d/12u-CH2BSBdAoqiZJZhXVVHnAitPDMaJBSpEg8j3f_mQ/edit?usp=sharing * A presentation I gave last year for the Utah Library Associationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4mKtLRVnQ0&ab_channel=RachelHelps—directed towards library professionals. I give an example of adding an image to a page as a way to increase the amount of viewers. * This isn’t meant to be public-facing, but I wrote up ideas for migrating a database to Wikidatahttps://docs.google.com/document/d/17AVd3u-g0Fe-iS_S2cikx9VZCZ955HN6dL7jUHzRMgQ/edit?usp=sharing for internal use in my library. At the end of the document, I summarized a lot of other projects on Wikidata in the “Resources and notes” section.
When Jamie Flood was collecting resources for the DPLA + Wikimedia working group a few months ago, she put them in this spreadsheethttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lDiFuE9ct17hJn-6vnBH-FAI33V2NvO5EREVhwPgX74/edit?usp=sharing (see the “online resources” tab).
If I were getting into GLAM-Wiki stuff now, I’d want to know about structured data on Wikimedia Commons, what I can do with Wikidata, including SPARQL querying, and how to use OpenRefine to clean/transfer/donate data. I would also want to know what tools for documenting usage statistics of my work are still working (for instance, this morning it looked like the outreach dashboard was down?). I think recently Giovanna at WMF did an OpenRefine training—let me know if you’d like me to track that down.

Kia ora Mary,
One thing that I found quite useful was Mike Dickison's Wikimedia Australia training. It's more geared towards educating people in GLAM institutions (which could be helpful or not depending on your audience):

From memory the content is CC-BY, so no issues if entire sections are used for another training.

Dear Rachel,
Thanks for mentioning my training! Yes, I delivered it a few days ago. You can find links related to it below.
Just FYI, this was my first presentation in many years about OpenRefine in general and my first one about OpenRefine with the Commons extension, so I was a bit rusty but I hope it helps anyways.
- Slides for my presentation https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ULyHr_fBkH_8To1HW_lk1KAdP0N836NKWiBJ99IIJt0/edit?usp=sharing - Recording from the training https://drive.google.com/file/d/1enoGxRNH2A7mLt7jX0q4FjM6i2uk46RY/view?usp=sharing
Do you need extended help? - Link to download OpenRefine with the Commons features https://github.com/OpenRefine/CommonsExtension - Telegram group for Wikimedians who use OpenRefine: https://t.me/+Qc23Jlay6f4wOGQ0 - Ask questions on OpenRefine's community forum https://forum.openrefine.org/
Courses: - General OpenRefine introduction: Library Carpentry course https://librarycarpentry.org/lc-open-refine/ (Wikidata) - OpenRefine for Wikimedia Commons: WikiLearn course https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2023/about (this covers what I presented, but way better and more detailed) - Also in Spanish https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2024_es/about, French https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2024_fr/about, and Italian https://learn.wiki/courses/course-v1:Wikimedia-Foundation+WMF_GLAM001+2024_it/about .
Let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions. I'm all ears!
Thanks again.

Great to see all these docs and tools.
For a master list of GLAM tools in the context of a workflow, I usually point to this, which is the only real one-stop-shopping place for discovering the common tools for GLAM work.

I wanted to thank everyone who has been sending suggestions. These are all super helpful and much appreciated.
I had a workbook page where I used https://www.denelezh.org/ as an example of how WIKIDATA can be used TO EXAMINE COMPLEX QUESTIONS like "What do we know about representation of women botanists?"
www.denelezh.org/ is gone; does anyone know of something comparable that allows selection of a topic area? I found
https://humaniki.wmcloud.org/ but it doesn't get that specific.
Many thanks, Mary Mark Ockerbloom

Hey all,
This has been such an informative thread! The list that Rachel sent, I'm going to update it with items mentioned here, and eventually that'll be live on our Digital Public Library of America meta page that outlines the work of the Wikimedia Working Group. I'll share that to this thread when I'm done (we're currently still working on it - I'm just slow.) Now that school is done, I have more time to dedicate so expect the update soon. I'm hoping to do a few couple minute videos too, on basic editing and getting set up to edit. Let me know if there's anything specific that seems to be missing and I'll see what I can do.
Thank you all for your thoughtful responses and sharing. These are great resources!
Jamie
