- To celebrate Wikidata at 10th, as we have started celebrating Wikidata at 10 right from Wikimania 2022.
- 2. Describe your main approaches or strategies to achieve these changes and why you think they will be effective.
This event is all about celebration, but we have a strategic plan to take the advantage of birthday celebration to mentor participants the importance of Wikidata, to know how Wikidata collects data from all wikis and Wikimedia projects, and to acquire the extreme knowledge on how to link images and audios they've uploaded into Wikimedia Commons by creating Wikidata item or lexeme. Moreover, to also know how to add language description to created item as well as knowing how to add statements to Wikidata item. knowing such will let them know that one image if linked to Wikidata item can appear in different Wikis using Databox template, without a continuous linking of image in every Wiki. NOTE It is part of this year's celebration to create videos as you can see from the event page in Wikidata, so NCPUG will create 5 videos covering the whole event.
- 3. What are the activities you will be developing and delivering as part of these approaches or strategies?
The following are the activities We will be developing as part of our strategy and approach.
- We will train participants on how to create Wikidata items during the Workshop.
