- What can national chapters and local Wiki-projects do to build up Wikidata?
- This session will ask a panel from different countries what works to build up awareness and skills, and how to deepen the quality of Wikidata's coverage of a particular part of the world -- its people, places, history, events, organisations, culture, and every other related thing that ought to have a detailed comprehensive Wikidata item.
- What face-to-face events work, to build up knowledge and an active community?
- How to assess current coverage, identify priority areas, and help groups to self-organise to improve them?
- Are there special 'tentpole' projects the country has identified -- eg highlight focus areas, or particularly good data sources to align or assimilate?
- What are the best tools and workflows to get things done?
