Title of your proposal

Name(s) and/or username(s)

• Tobias Schönberg (User:Tobias1984)
• Co-Instructors Welcome!

Topic

• Content Translation
• Wikidata
• GLAM

Type of submission (Please choose one)

• Workshop (work in groups)

Summary

If there is enough interest and about 2 h in the schedule I can do a basic introduction into Pywikibot. It can be used to edit Wikidata and all other Wikis. Participants need only a little bit of programming experience. The exercises will be done using http://paws.wmflabs.org, so only a laptop with internet is required.

Expected outcomes

Everyone will reach some results and will be very impressed how easy it is to work with Pywikibot. After the session it will be easier to ask questions online to further improve bots running on the different WMF projects.

Duration (without Q&A)

2 h would be good. 3 if possible.

Specific requirements

Participants: A laptop with internet connection. We will not need any special software. Just a browser. Presenter: A beamer would be good that has a HDMI connection.

Slides or further information

We will work with this tutorial I am writing: d:Wikidata:Pywikibot - Python 3 Tutorial. This is also where we will have online follow ups to the course.

Interested attendees (Please add yourself, and you may indicate your questions to the presenter).

   • @Liridon: If you have time could you sum up what you would like to learn in max 3 sentences? --Tobias1984 (talk) 21:47, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

   • @Tobias1984: I am beginner in programming bots, but after attending in your workshop in Wikimania, now I am more interested to learn something more advancing, a script which will do some tasks, (e.g. find articles about settlements that do not have "geolocation", "images" or "categories" in Wikipedia, but have in Wikidata.)--Liridon (talk) 19:54, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

   • @Liridon: We should work on the bot together. You can send me a mail or post it to the talk page of the Wikidata tutorial. If you like we can also turn it into one the tutorial pages. --Tobias1984 (talk) 12:56, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

2. Definitely interested to learn new stuff. I can also co-present on pywikibot if needed.--Strainu (talk) 17:50, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

   • @Strainu: Would be great to have you as an instructor. We can also talk beforehand about things you think we should cover. --Tobias1984 (talk) 21:49, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
