Learning

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

What worked well? The initiative seems new to the community and so a lot wanted to experience see here
What did not work so well?

Collation of data used by participants on Wikidata wasart done manually by the organiser. Because it was difficult to track the number of photos used on Wikidata from the outreach dashboard.
There is no tool to filter Wikidata items or Wikimedia commons for items without photos. The process was done manually.
Many of the relevant images on commons do not have Wiki data items. We, therefore, need to create new Wikidata items before we can use the photos on Wikidata.

What would you do differently next time?

We need to request for a tool that can help to filter wikidata for items that needs photos that are available on Wikimedia commons.
