Grants:IdeaLab/Develop an extension for building views of Wikidata in any Wikis.
Project idea
editWhat is the problem you're trying to solve?
editThe first step for fixing errors in the data of Wikidata is to find the errors.
What is your solution?
editThe first version of the extension LinkedWiki can print a simple table of Wikidata directly in any Mediawiki. The next step is to simplify the action to write a query in the mother tongue of users/students in the wiki of their schools or of Wikiversity. In the school, the students will be able to detect the errors and their teachers will be able to ask to fix these errors in Wikidata.
Project goals
editThe first version of the extension can print a simple table in a Wiki page. The next step is to develop :
- a special page for building the SPARQL query in the mother tongue of students.(demo)
- imagine the manner to create a lib (in javascript) of charts for printing the data directly in a course of Wikiversity for example or in a school's wiki.
I'm testing the idea on private tools. Now, I need of time to transfer this idea in an extension for Mediawiki. Example of homeworks with my students (French) :
