Abstract (max 300 words)

This talk, aimed at complete beginners, introduces Wikidata, the structured data project by Wikimedia. It covers what Wikidata is, what problems it solves, how to contribute new data to Wikidata, how to embed data from Wikidata into pages on other wikis, and demonstrates tools like the Article Placeholder, Reasonator, and Mix-and-match.

How will this session be beneficial for the Turkic communities?

It would encourage more adoption and use of Wikidata among Turkic communities, benefiting both those communities and all others (from knowledge contributed by Turkic Wikidatans)
