A place to discuss any and all aspects of Metabase, ask questions, request new properties etc.

nice approach

It is my own preference also over the BaseRow that WMF was busy with...so I was suggesting in one of Wikispore meetings with them to dump their text based information onto Wikispore and setup Wikibase just for Wikimedia OLD work. Good to see you started from your own end as internal knowledge managment. Hope it gets picked up by others soon. Was surprised to see I am first non WMSE user here now :-/

Using Metabase to Document Software in use by Wikimedia Organizations

Premising that on Meta-wiki we are trying to document notable software in use by notable organizations:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FLOSS-Exchange

Questions:

  1. Is this kind of information in the scope of Metabase, in your opinion? I think yes :)
  2. If yes, is the property "uses (P43)" somehow suitable to catalogue notable software adopted by an organization? Example:
    Wikimedia Italia (Q22279) uses (P43) "BigBlueButton" with qualifier start date = xyz

Thank you so much for any comment and idea :)

User:Valerio Bozzolan thank you for the suggestion! It definitely looks interesting enough to look into :) / --Alicia Fagerving (WMSE) (talk) 07:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
