About the Team[edit]
Wikidata Integrations Team is a Wikimedia Deutschland team created to support the existing relationships and forge new ones between Wikidata and its sibling Wikimedia projects. It is our wish to create better workflows for editors and decrease the manual workload and repetitive tasks that can be automated through Wikidata.
The team was created because Wikimedia Deutschland needed dedicated resources to focus on the potential of integrating Wikidata with the sibling projects. The team will work closely with editors, volunteer developers and other Wikimedia product teams to define our roadmap, initial projects and deliverables.
The team currently has 4 members:
- Ifeatu Nnaobi (Product Manager)
- Elisha Cohen (UX Research/Design)
- Cynthia Makonyango (Engineering Manager)
- Danny Benjafield (Community Communications Manager)
First Steps[edit]
The team will spend time listening to and engaging with Wikimedia communities in order to better understand the issues present in editor workflows when using Wikidata within another Wikimedia project. We want to develop solutions that have a big impact to those that need them.
Participate[edit]
Our current focus is on reaching out to community users from a variety of Wikimedia projects to gain high-level insights into how Wikidata is utilized in them. We will be contacting respondents to our survey sign-up to schedule interviews soon.
If you would like to report an issue, problem or other challenge when reusing Wikidata in another Wikimedia project, directly or via the use of a gadget or tool, please visit our Add Issue page. Did a previously functional Wikidata integration stop working? Let us know! We will follow-up for more details.
Our survey has now closed[edit]
The interview sign-up survey at LamaPoll has now ended. We had a lot of interest from a wide spectrum of Wikimedians and we want to thank everyone who registered and we will be contacting editors shortly to ask for their availability for an interview. Due to the high number of respondents, it won’t be possible to interview everyone who signed up but we will let you know if we can’t.
