About the event
[edit]This session will introduce the Wikidata tool Wikidata:Duplicity, which helps identify Wikipedia articles that do not have a Wikidata item, and match them to an existing item or create a new one.
Participants will learn how Wikipedia and Wikidata are connected, how to use the Duplicity tool to find missing Wikidata items, how to create accurate, well-sourced items directly from the tool, and best practices for item creation and linking articles across projects.
The session will be hands-on and beginner-friendly, with time to explore the tool together and make real contributions. It’s ideal for editors who are curious about Wikidata but unsure where to start, or for anyone who wants to improve Wikidata coverage using content that already exists in English Wikipedia.
About the presenter
[edit]Josef Anthony is a Wikimedia volunteer and contributor with experience in Wikidata, Wikipedia, and technical projects within the Wikimedia movement.
