Once you were enrolled, your edits to Wikidata items about museums in the chosen country were tracked in the Dashboard.

When to enroll

You could enroll at any time during the competition. If you made any edits to museum items after the start of the competition, but before enrolling, they counted towards your score.

How to find items to edit

Overview

There are several ways to find interesting Wikidata items to edit.

If you wanted to add data about a specific museum, type in the institution’s name in the search field on Wikidata.

 

We prepared queries to help you find museums in the five countries and get an overview of how well they are described on Wikidata, using selected properties and label descriptions.

You could use these queries to identify items in need of improvement.
