Context

Wikiprojects (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProjects) are affinity groups for contributors with shared goals within the Wikimedia movement. WikiProjects for Wikidata- which are unique to Wikidata- don’t have any visibility on Wikidata. There are no links or references to WikiProjects on Wikidata – unless a user knows about WikiProjects and knows where to look they will be unable to find it or even know what it is.

To connect Wikidatans to communities in their areas of interest to share knowledge and resources, we want to bring more visibility to WikiProjects for Wikidata on Wikidata.

Main Objectives

This a Proof of Concept and should follow the "First View" principle. The goal is to determine the technical approach for putting WikiProject links on a Wikidata Item page. It'll be deployed on Beta but *not* on production.

The proof of concept will focus on one of the following WikiProjects:

• Sum of all paintings
• elections
• Music
• Medicine
• Datasets

Considerations

• The links will be added the 'tools' section on related Item pages
• Links should appear automatically
• If an item has multiple WikiProjects associated with it, the links do *not* need additional ranking capabilities. Alphabetical or whatever default ranking exists based of technical solution chosen is good enough.
• All Wikidata items associated with the WikiProject should have a link to the WikiProject
• To not encourage a significant number of redundant edits that will put undue stress on the size of the graph, we will need to use properties or identifiers that will indicate which WikiProjects are associated with an Item
  • e.g. for WikiProject Music we can use the specific properties from MusicBrainz, Discogs, AllMusic, Spotify here.
  • Helpful queries and properties to connect WikiProjects to their related Items
• We will also need to add tracking to the links, to monitor the effectiveness of the new WikiProjects section

There is an existing property for wikiprojects'maintained by WikiProject' https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P6104
Query for list of items with property: https://w.wiki/KD6a
An example of an item with this property where the WikiProject is on Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11314589
An example of an item with this property where the WikiProject is on Wikipedia: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q131436

Acceptance Criteria

• Links to WikiProjects appear as designed in the 'tools' section on related Item pages
• The links to the WikiProjects are tagged so that we are able to track the click-through rate
