2026 Wikidata Edit-a-thon (Part 1) Online

This is part of  a series of workshops for Love Data Week, an annual festival highlighting topics, opportunities and services relevant to data in research. 

Wikidata is an open, multilingual structured knowledge base that can be read and edited by both humans and machines and is made by people like you. Digital assistants like Siri and Alexa use Wikidata, as do search engines like Google. You can think of Wikidata as a database of databases, linking items through identifiers. This creates a centralized location of information about anything and everything: from the universe to the pikalove and the Chicago-style hot dog. With over 114,683,910 data items, there’s likely to be an item for your favorite band, and your birthplace.

 Join us online and in person for an introduction to Wikidata followed by a Wikidata Edit-a-thon! Learn more about Wikidata’s impact, how to make edits, create references, and query Wikidata in this 2-hour hands-on session.
