Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The seventh Wikidata Working Hour will cover the Author Disambiguator tool, which helps users assign authors to articles.During the session we will demonstrate how to use the tool on an author who was created during a previous working hour, and another who doesn't exist in Wikidata yet. After the demonstration, participants are encouraged to try the tool themselves during the rest of the working hour. This session will build on the work done in previous Working Hours by connecting authors to the articles they have written. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page

- WikiProject Roman Provinces
- WikiProject Events and Role Frames - The primary aims of WikiProject Events and Role Frames is to define a set of properties that consistently model event occurrences and their participants; to fill gaps in Wikidata regarding items for events and actions; and to encourage use of the proposed model and newly introduced items across Wikidata.
- Newest database reports: Wikidata:Database reports/badged items without claims - This is a list of badged items (i.e. items for feature or good articles in somewiki) without claims. Ideally it should be empty.
- Showcase Items: Nelson Mandela (Q8023) - First President of South Africa and anti-apartheid activist (1918–2013)
- Showcase Lexemes: gepard - Polish noun for cheetah with many forms
- Newest properties:
- Development

- Language codes:
- We are making some small remaining changes before the next testing round of the new language code (phab:T345750, phab:T345751, phab:T345083)
- We continued to make a lot more language codes available (phab:341409)
- EntitySchemas: We are experimenting with how to work around some technical blockers for the new datatype
- Wikibase REST API: We've been working on the ability to remove an Item's label in a specific language and modify the descriptions on a Property (phab:T342981, phab:T342981)
