| content | "<p>If the framework developed by Wikimedia Foundation’s Research team for Knowledge Gaps is a way of talking about missing knowledge on Wikimedia projects, a topic list helps us identify specific content to fill those gaps. You may need to develop different kinds of lists in different situations, for example: </p> <p><em><strong>Different Wikimedia Projects need different kinds of lists </strong></em></p> <p>Each Wikimedia project is going to have different types of topic lists. Topic lists can serve different purposes on different wikis:</p> <ul> <ul> <li>Most topic lists have a <strong>1 to 1 relationship between a topic (like a biography, location or other concept) and a content page</strong>. This is true for Wikiquote, Wikidata, Wikipedia, WikiVoyage, and Wiktionary. Typically multilingual campaigns for these projects will use Wikidata to connect these topics together (such as with <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2022" target="[object Object]">CEE Spring</a> or <a href="https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights" target="[object Object]">WikiForHumanRights</a>).</li> <li>Other Wikimedia projects my have a <strong>1 to several relationship between a topic and an action</strong>: in particular for Wikimedia Commons one item, could be used to inspire the topic for dozens of pictures (i.e. Wiki Loves Butterflies or Monuments), or with WikiSource, an item on a list represents a whole book or textual object with multiple pages or sections (i.e. a poem or a document).</li> </ul> </ul> <p><strong><em>The actions needed during an event will change the topic list </em></strong></p> <p>Each campaign event needs to be designed around teaching a participant to make an editing action on Wikimedia. These actions fall generally into four categories:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Creating new Wikipedia articles,</strong> Wikidata items or Commons files that previously didn’t exist</li> <li><strong>Improving contextual data</strong> around a topic, i.e. Improving Wikidata items or using images from Commons.</li> <li><strong>Translating or reusing content</strong> in one part of the wikis into another wiki</li> <li><strong>Improving the quality of existing</strong> <strong>Wikimedia pages or items,</strong> by fixing problems, adding content or improving communication.</li> </ul> <p>Each action is easier for contributors with different skills, and filtering or managing a list so that you can focus users on the right contribution method for their level of experience, creates more successful events. In the rest of this sub-unit, we are going to show you some of the main approaches for developing lists used by the movement.</p>" |
