Advanced Wikidata Training 2018 or AWT2018 is a residential training workshop for experienced Wikidata editors in India to be conducted on 15-16 December 2018.

Background and objectives[edit]

In India a few Wikidata trainings took place, notably User:Asaf (WMF)/2017 Technical trainings in India. After this training of Asaf, we saw several developments in India including formation of WikiProject India, a few label-a-thons, and Indian Independence label-a-thon. Now, we are trying to take the Wikidata experience in India to the next level.

The plan is like this:

  • actively working on Wikidata and
  • aware of basic Wikidata editing

will attend the training to

  • learn more about advanced Wikidata editing
  • plan future Wikidata activities in India
