Wikidata is the newest sister project, and the most promising technological development in recent years.

This presentation starts at the very beginning, and seeks to help the Wikidata-shy volunteer learn to use and contribute to Wikidata.

Attendees will learn what Wikidata is, why it is useful, what items, properties, and values are, and how to update it.
