Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:
- Introduction – An introduction to the project.
- Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
- Community portal – The portal for community members.
- User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
- Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
- Project chat – Discussions about the project.
- Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Wikimania presentation
[edit]Hi! I saw the slides of this presentation about NLN SNAR at the last Wikimania where you were one of the speakers and it was very interesting. Could you upload the slides to Wikimedia Commons? It would be great to have the possibility to have a stable link for them in future presentations and articles. Thanks very much! --Epìdosis 11:13, 21 September 2025 (UTC) FYI @SBAbigstan: :) --Epìdosis 11:15, 21 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi,
- My sincere apologies for the delayed response! I have uploaded the slides on WikiCommons - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:How_to_Wikibase_The_case_of_the_NLN_SNAR.pptx.pdf We (AfLIA) are going on to do this for other national libraries in Africa. However, we have discovered that there are different scenarios pertaining to Authority files and National Bibliographies of these National libraries. Will keep you posted!
