Abstract & description

Abstract

[edit source]

Every article in Wikivoyage uses Wikidata - not only in Infoboxes. Complexity and quality of data and missing constraints can cause problems. This is a report about our experiences.

Description

[edit source]

We use it intensively (up to 350 accesses per article) and we have much experience with that. So I would like to give a session about it and report about experiences/problems/wishes, focused on - Data quality in Wikidata - Complexity of data and what problems it causes when using it in the wiki - Lack of constraints in Wikidata which causes many problems.

If I can make it to Singapore, I’ll be available at the Wikivoyage desk at EXPO most time.
