Overview and update of the state of Monuments database import to Wikidata
Open, Needs TriagePublic

Description

Adding SDC depicts statements requires a good coverage of the monuments of Wikidata. Some of the work with importing the Monuments database has been done by both the community and WMSE. There is a table that summarizes the different countries, but it's probably not up to date.

  • Go through the countries and check the status -- how many of the monuments exist on Wikidata?
  • Identify countries for import (preferably with external identifiers, countries with a lot of entries in Monuments database but not a lot on Wikidata, see how much we mapped previously)

@Jopparn I believe most of the work done has been based on this other table.

The main difference seems to be that the meta table talks about the existence of base data in the countries (unrelated to their status on Wikidata) while the second looks at Wikidata only (but in the context of countries which had data in the Monuments database).

@Alicia_Fagerving_WMSE: Per emails from Sep18 and Oct20 and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Assignee_cleanup , I am resetting the assignee of this task because there has not been progress lately (please correct me if I am wrong!). Resetting the assignee avoids the impression that somebody is already working on this task. It also allows others to potentially work towards fixing this task. Please claim this task again when you plan to work on it (via Add Action...Assign / Claim in the dropdown menu) - it would be welcome. Thanks for your understanding!
