@Lea_Lacroix_WMDE @Mohammed_Sadat_WMDE @Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE Does one of you know of any existing video in this direction?

I'd like to shamelessly plug the middle thirty minutes of https://youtu.be/mzqX5iTfzb4 and the entirety of https://youtu.be/DFG5yEZLfC8 as some prior introductions to lexeme editing. I would be more than happy to work on the third (hopefully much more refined) version of such a thing.

Those were helpful, thanks Mahir256!

For any future videos, I'm particularly interested in the use-case of:

As an experienced wiki-editor, I want to do some basic manual editing, and want to know the basics of what/where I can copy from (versus what needs to be rewritten).

For instance: I want to go through https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Basic_English_combined_wordlist and add/improve those Lexemes in Wikidata.

E.g.1. If I search Wikidata, I can see the 2 Lexemes for umbrella needs more content. I also see that Wiktionary's umbrella entry has some good information that could potentially be re-used. Now (I think?) I just need to learn 2 things:

• (A - content) Which parts I can copy&paste (non-copyrightable), and which parts will need to be rewritten (CC-BY-SA); and similar questions for how I should utilize external references such as etymonline and merriam-webster (i.e. which parts are ineligible for copyright and I could safely copy, e.g. IPA? synonym lists?).
• (B - interface) Where the different bits go within the Lexeme editing interface (as partially covered at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Lexicographical_data/Documentation#Interface and the previous videos)

E.g.2. Ditto for improving the Lexeme for residue based off https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/residue (plus merriam-webster)

TLDR: I think a very short video (5-10 min?) covering the basics of improving 2 examples like those, would be very helpful for onboarding existing Wikimedians.
Perhaps with further videos covering how to best add (and tips for finding the content for) more complex aspects such as Statements like etymology, and multilingual aspects.

[Sidenote: I generally encourage short and separate videos (rather than a single long comprehensive video) because of benefits like: More likely for many people to watch a shorter video; Easier to update segments in the future; More likely to get captions-added (if placed on Commons); and Easier to place relevant videos within the exact section in text documentation.]

Related thoughts:

• I often want to know how fast I can accomplish things, once I've learned the basics of a new site/workflow/endeavor/skillset.
• Tutorial videos often depict people making single sloooooow actions, which is good for newcomers, but perhaps not as good for inspiring experienced people to pick up new skills. -- Watching an expert do 5 minutes of rapid-fire editing, can teach in a powerfully complimentary way.
• (Perhaps comparable to watching a video-gamer do a "speedrun", or an artisan making a highlights-montage-video (e.g. a carpenter building a table). An audio-/subtitle-commentary track could be added afterwards, to explain the nuances of complex-actions.)

There's a new video of live editing Lexemes thanks to @Ainali and @Abbe98 ! What do you think @Quiddity, is that going in the direction of what you're looking for here?

I think a few strategic edits of this video into a tutorial whose final length is under 15 minutes would be great! I nominate 2:25-7:05 as the first chunk; after editing out the pauses and the typing I can imagine that could come down to under 4 minutes. Someone more patient than I might wish to watch further into it to find another juicy and helpful segment... assuming I'm not alone in thinking length is a factor --
