    • In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)

    • Investigating the potential of the semantic web for education: Exploring Wikidata as a learning platform
  • Videos
  • Notebooks
    • Country diversity of external links domain names in Wikipedia in French an analysis of all domain names in Wikipedia in French by country associated to the website.
