Abstract:
During this session, I will be showcasing how petscan can be used as a tool to identify Wikipedia articles that require translation or expansion, as well as those that have issues templates. PETScan is a powerful tool that can extract articles under any category in any language, making it a versatile and valuable tool for editors who are looking to improve the quality and accuracy of Wikipedia articles.

To engage the audience, I will demonstrate how petscan can be used to find articles that are specifically relevant to them or their interests. For example, if an audience member is interested in science, I can show how petscan can extract all the science-related articles that have issues templates in their preferred language. I will also provide tips on how to use petscan effectively and efficiently, and explain how it can help to streamline the editing process and maximize the impact of the editor's efforts.

Overall, this session will be a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in contributing to the improvement of Wikipedia articles and wants to learn how to use petscan as an effective tool for identifying articles that require translation or expansion, as well as those that have issues templates.
