Toolinfo edit-a-thon!
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

https://toolhub.wikimedia.org/tools/pywikibot and https://toolhub.wikimedia.org/tools/wikimedia-quarry are good examples of tools that feature much more metadata than the bare minimum required during initial tool registration.

Many tools could need a helping hand to fill in missing information. This would aid in tool discovery and make the tools ecosystem better for everyone. While some information is editable only by the author(s) of a tool, much of it can be added by anyone willing to spend some time doing a bit of research.

For information on how to edit, see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub/Hackathon_2022#Edit_Toolhub_records

Thank you for your help and happy editing!

Hello @Aklapper , I should have dropped update on this, but I was unsure of how to do that for a task with many contributors. I facilitated this process of working on this task during the past wiki hackathon local meetup in Kwara State Nigeria and can confirm that this task was worked on. We also tried keeping track of everyone's contribution so I will reach out to the organizer and try getting that info so it can somehow be linked under this

I tried to document the users that I could see who had edited during the event at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub/Progress_reports/2022-05-27#Wikimedia_Hackathon_2022. This would likely be a mix of folks from various in-person events as well as folks who were fully remote during the hackathon.

I think I need help with this. Can you guide me, please?
