Tool of the week

Wikidata:Tools/Wikidata for Web - also known as Wikidata for Firefox is a browser extension for Mozilla Firefox that displays data from Wikidata on various websites, enhancing the information you are already looking at, and also allows extraction of data from these websites.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

Wikidata Ontology Course Peter Patel-Schneider and Ege Doğan will run a seven-week Wikidata Ontology Course starting late April / early May. It aims to expand the Wikidata community’s knowledge of the Wikidata ontology through lectures, exercises, and group projects. Participants should have prior Wikidata experience and are expected to attend lectures, complete exercises (about one hour per week), and contribute to a group project. More details available here.
