More to learn

edit

Further details about what I would like to learn.

1. Wikisource: It's entirely new to me and would like to learn how I'll contribute to it and invite my community to do so too.

2.Tools developed to automate task: As a sysop on the Igbo Wikipedia and a contributor on other projects, it will be a useful skill to learn in order to make tasks easier

3. I've use open refine a few times on Wikidata for test batch uploads, it worked though. I would love to learn and practice more as I intend to work with libraries in Nigeria on how to use open refine for batch uploading.

Stories about sharing

edit

Interesting stories about applying the skills I want to share.

1. Basic Wikidata use: I have been able to startup Wikidata translation in my community. The translation of items and properties makes the use of language descriptions on Igbo Wikipedia possible. It also made easy the use of Wikidata- generated databoxes in the Igbo Wikipedia. Before now, the Igbo Wikipedia uses the infobox which is mostly translated in English or has an error message. We've been able to solve this challenge by using databoxes

2. Setting up templates for Wikimedia projects. When I joined Wikimedia, the mainpage of the Igbo Wikipedia had a lot of redlinks, with my little knowledge of installing template and customizing it, I've been able to constantly update the mainpage of the Igbo Wikipedia to what it is today. Though I refer to other templates in the English Wikimedia for guides. I have also worked on headers templates on Meta Wiki for documentation pages. I learnt this skill on Wikimedia, through conference, research, practice and consulting mentors.

3.List building: I've been able to use categories to generate list for editathon. One of the strategies that has worked for me is to make sure editors have their copies of list to work on
