User:Thepwnco/Content for Sister Projects

For planning and coordinating documentation relevant to WMF sister projects.

Note: at time of writing, Wikidata is deployed on Wikipedia, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikivoyage, and Wikimedia Commons; Wikinews is being planned for August 19th

Sister projects content inventory

On Wikidata

• in Category:Sister_projects currently have Commons, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikivoyage, Wikitionary (as well as subpages), plus template, plus main portal
• Wikidata:Sister_projects (portal page) - links to sister projects on Wikidata; checklist for launching other projects

Standalone pages for projects

Wikidata:Wikisource

• deployed but page is framed as though draft of proposal, not of current use
• has ambassador list (with links to announcements of Phase 1 & 2) - is this up to date?
• not a lot of info on why it's important/of value
• needs more info on use of oldwikisource?
• should link to appropriate Wikisource page on Wikidata
• should include info on coordinating/using like Wikisource page

Wikidata:Wiktionary

• not yet deployed; proposal and discussion
• additional proposals at Wikidata:Wiktionary_(alternative_proposal), Wikidata:Wiktionary/Previous, and Wikidata:Comparison_of_Projects_and_Proposals_for_Wiktionary
• ambassadors?
• communicating value - opinion on Wiktionary seems to be that Wikdata offers no benefits and is only really useful for Wikipedias

Wikidata:Wikivoyage

• needs to be updated - currently only indicates that has Phase 1 access to Wikidata only
• bot information not particularly helpful to Wikivoyage editors
• no information on value of Wikidata for Wikivoyage
• update link to discussion - Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2013/07#Wikivoyage_notability
• some of the thing listed under "Issues" are resolved, some are ongoing - clean up; some might be more useful in a new FAQ section on the page
• expand on importance of linking between Wikipedia and Wikivoyage (related sites in left sidebar); see also mw:Extension:RelatedSites
• not much content on how to help/contribute

Wikidata:Wikiquote

• not many ambassadors identified - possibly more outreach needed?
• Phase 2 data now available - any use cases? Specifically look at 4 'item' types that can be linked to Wikiquote - people, works (literary works, proverbs, films, TV shows...), proverbs, themes - and find examples
• add link to Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2014/04#Wikiquote_notability?
• doesn't discuss value/importance - discuss interwiki links, etc
• unclear status of new Wikiquote model (i.e. quotations as items) - page explicitly excludes this but is still not clear what is happening with this even on the pages linked out to

Wikidata:Wikimedia Commons

• update FAQ (no longer there - and not one I removed)
• also Wikidata:Wikimedia_Commons/previous
• doesn't make clear the importance/value of participation/development - show example of Reasonator item and Commons category?
• lots of bugs and list of links - could be moved to subpages
• concerns info both in proposal stage and current stage

Wikidata:Wikipedia

• no such space

Wikidata:Wikispecies

• very little content
• see also Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2013/02#Include_Wikispecies_into_Wikidata

Wikidata:Wikinews

• little content
• see also Wikidata:Project_chat#Wikinews_Sitelinks_.28Phase_1.29

Discussion maybe only of historical value/interest?

• Wikidata:Requests_for_comment/Items_for_Wikimedia_projects_besides_Wikipedia
• Wikidata:Property_proposal/Sister_projects

Outside Wikidata

Wikisource

see s:Wikisource:Wikidata

• info on adding sitelinks (interwiki links)
• info on how to edit items and what properties to use
• info on using Wikidata data on Wikisource - e.g. adding or to wikitext for the page linked to the item will return the date of birth value; also modules

Wikivoyage

see Cooperating with Wikidata,Wikidata Expedition, and Access to data from Wikidata is now available

• has tool in left sidebar "Wikdata item"
• uses voy:Andorra as prototype item
• Cooperating page communicates value, provides some details on how Wikidata helps with Wikivoyage maintenance/quality assurance
• Expedition page provides content on how to edit/contribute

Wikiquote

• no dedicated space?
• see discussion at q:Wikiquote:Village_pump#Language_links_.28interwiki.29_via_Wikidata_are_coming

Wikimedia Commons

see commons:Commons:Wikidata, commons:Commons:Wikidata_for_media_info

• provides info on Commons properties - check properties Help page to see that accurate/consistent
• could explain on Wikidata template better
• doesn't provide much about importance/value

Wikipedia

see w:Wikipedia:Wikidata, w:Wikipedia:Wikidata/Workflow, w:Wikipedia:Wikidata/Wikidatans

• lots of good content - especially FAQ/documentation on adding sitelinks and merging items
• explanation of templates? w:Category:Templates_using_data_from_Wikidata

On Meta-Wikimedia

• m:Wikidata/Notes/Future
• m:Wiktionary_future
• m:Structured_Wikiquote

Content Overhaul

Nice to haves

• tie-ins for local project activity - i.e. sitelinks, templates, creating new articles
• tasks? e.g. s:Category:Author_pages_not_connected_to_Wikidata & s:Wikisource:Maintenance_of_the_Month/Wikidata
• example items, pages
• info on the value of Wikidata - why they should care and why they should contribute
• coordinating activity rather than implementation (depending on deployment of sister project)
• getting help - ambassadors, who to talk to - e.g. Wikidata:Wikivoyage#Ambassadors
• resources - toolkits, events, hackathons, etc

portal could be similar to voy:Wikivoyage:Welcome,_Wikipedia?

template?

1. introduction - about, value, why
2. opportunities/efforts/activities/tasks
3. documentation and/or FAQ
4. examples items, etc
5. development - what's still under discussion/proposal
6. getting help - ambassadors
7. resources
8. see also
