Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight, Richard Knipel (User:Pharos), Andrew Lih, Ann Reynolds, Robert Fernandez, Effie Kapsalis
This session examines and discusses some key Wikidata-driven tools in helping women biography projects for the Women in Red project and the Smithsonian Institution American Women's History Initiative including:
* Listeria – the tool for generating worklists from Wikidata, including Women in Red’s Redlists and the Smithsonian's Funk List of women scientists
* Infoboxes – how might Wikidata-derived infoboxes be improved on and more widely adopted
* Mbabel – tool for one-click creation of draft articles based on Wikidata content
* Translation – how might biographies in other language Wikipedia editions be used in translation tools and accessed in Listeria listings, and what is the current status of machine translation
* Cradle – forms-based interface for generating new Wikidata items
* WEF-Framework (and the challenge of women’s names)
* Humaniki – Wikidata-driven statistics for tracking gender gap progress
