DCW's thematic contest[edit]
Hi @Lea Lacroix (WMDE), could you please include DCW's thematic Wikidata contest on Diff calendar. I'm finding it difficult. Basic details have been pointed here. We manage all the stuff on Meta-Wiki, do I need to create the event page on Wikidata? Thanks, ─ The Aafī (talk) 14:09, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @TheAafi, thanks a lot for letting me know!
- A Meta page is perfectly fine, no need to transfer it to Wikidata :)
- I'm actually still trying to figure out what's the best way to add events on Diff, and to write documentation about it, so in the meantime, I added your event to this list.
- Good luck with organizing the editathon and feel free to reach out to me or write in the Telegram group Wikidata events if you need any help. Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk) 15:29, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Lea Lacroix (WMDE), this is helpful and the calendar stuff would really be more helpful. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:42, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
Wikidata’s 10th birthday in October: call for community events[edit]
Hello all,
As you may know, Wikidata went live on 29 October 2012 ; in 2022, we are celebrating 10 years of Wikidata together! We would like to organize celebration events all around the world, and to create a huge network of decentralized, local and community-led events, that will take place onsite or online, around October 2022.
The goal of these birthday celebrations are to celebrate the achievements of the community, to bring people together, and also to talk about Wikidata to the rest of the world in order to get more people onboard. In various areas of the world, people get together to organize plenty of different birthday events: meetups, workshops, discussions, live streams, editing campaigns… How about you get involved in organizing such an event with your local community?
How to organize an event?
On the Tenth Birthday page, you will find resources to learn how to plan and schedule an event. You will find a few tips to get started, some ideas of events formats and the visual kit to create your own communication material.
If you are interested in organizing an event or an activity for Wikidata’s 10th birthday, we recommend you get in touch with other organizers to get inspired by their experiences and ask for support if needed.
How to get funding for your activities?
WMF and Wikimedia Deutschland are collaborating on a special Rapid Fund campaign for Wikidata’s birthday. If you need financial support to run an event, you can now send an application to receive funding up to 5,000 USD.
Feel free to check the details of the funding campaign, eligibility criteria and supported activities. The program covers a wide range of costs that can be funded: renting space or equipment, internet connection, transport and accommodation, food and refreshments, printing merchandise and communication materials, prizes for contests, and more.
To make sure that your application is processed in time for your event, don’t wait too long to submit your application! The Wikidata birthday events are typically held between mid-September and mid-November, and you should send your application at least 45 days before your activity starts.
If you have questions or need support to apply for funding, feel free to get in touch - we will also organize calls for organizers starting at the end of August.
We will post news about the Wikidata birthday regularly on this talk page and on social channels, as more exciting projects are coming soon: a collaborative celebration video and some blog posts about Wikidata.
If you have any questions, if you want to get involved in Wikidata’s 10th birthday or if you have suggestions, feel free to reach out to me.

Wikidata’s 10th birthday: contribute to the celebration video[edit]
Hello all,
As you may know, Wikidata’s 10th birthday is around the corner, with plenty of local and online events taking place in October 2022 to gather the Wikidata community.
On top of that, we are working on a collaborative video to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Wikidata and the achievements of the community. In this short clip, we would like to integrate footage from many people from all around the world sharing birthday wishes, saying a few words about Wikidata, and showing places around them.
This is where you come in! You can contribute directly to this project by recording and sending us a video before September 18th.
You can do it on your own or together with your local Wikidata community. You can take the opportunity of an upcoming onsite event (for example, a Wikimania gathering) to record something with more people.
You don’t need a lot of equipment: videos filmed on smartphone are very welcome. You will find all the details and requirements on this page.
On top of that, if you need support to record a video, or simply if you want to take the opportunity to gain new skills, we are happy to offer an online workshop “how to film with your smartphone”, you will find more details about the workshop on this page.
Feel free to share this message with your local community and anyone interested. If you have any questions or need support, please check the documentation page, and feel free to write on the talk page. If you have technical questions, you can also contact Anne, our video producer, directly by email.
We’re very excited to receive your videos and to create this celebration content with you! Best, Lea Lacroix (WMDE) (talk) 13:27, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Wikidata and the old interlanguage linking system[edit]
When was the former interlanguage linking system first introduced? I am curuous, because I want to know when we can say Wikidata has been used for a longer time than the old interlanguage linking system. J 1982 (talk) 18:10, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- Probably some time in December 2001 or early January 2002 based on this happy announcement:
Ainali (talk) 21:28, 24 October 2022 (UTC)Here's my Christmas present for you all: New features for the PHP script to come! Probably the most important one is the "interlanguage" feature.
