Description

What is this task?
This task is used for planning and organizing. To comment on the project, please use one of the linked tasks, ideally.

Description of the main objective:
In our 2023 desk research, we found that language barriers among Wikidata editors were a significant challenge for equity in decision-making. A more thorough understanding of our editors might be key to improve the situation. We plan to research the language diversity among Wikidata editors as one of our first analytics projects to support future development work.
