Hey :)

Some background information: Wikidata is a repository of structured
information that gets fed into Wikipedia and many other places on the
internet including Google search and Siri. The page Samuel created is
an internal maintenance/overview page not for consumption by the
general public but for the KDE and Wikidata communities to get an easy
overview of what data is there, which needs expanding/correcting and
what's missing.
Hope that helps. We do want KDE's apps to be well-described in Wikidata.


Cheers
Lydia, with half her KDE and half her Wikidata product manager hat on
