Project

Wikidata (integrations) for Wikimedia projects team is a Wikimedia Deutschland team created to support existing relationships and forge new ones between Wikidata and its sibling Wikimedia projects.

We will work closely with editors, volunteer developers, and other Wikimedia product teams to optimise workflows, decrease redundancy and promote better integration of Wikidata's data in other projects.

We are independent of the Wikidata team but as our projects are often closely-aligned, we will frequently work closely-alongside them. One of the reasons our team has been created is to free up resources for the Wikidata team to focus solely on development of Wikidata. We, however, will specifically investigate and work on how Wikidata's data and functionality are reused across the Wikimedia sibling projects.

Our primary focus is supporting Wikipedia editors with their Wikidata usage, but ideally the features we improve will also make using Wikidata on the other sibling projects easier too.

Some potential areas we could work in are:

• Adoption and/or maintenance of user-scripts, gadgets, and community-created tools
• Finding ways to reduce technical complexity in workflows where Wikidata is being reused.
