Are you a developer using Wikidata's data in your application with the action API or Query Service? The Wikidata development would love to talk to you to help improve how you can get to Wikidata's data. More details here: greatquestion.co/wikimediadeu...
Wikidata's data powers amazing apps. I showcased a few of them at #Wikimania last week. Dive into what @wikidatacommunity.bsky.social makes possible in the slides here: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wi...

And if you have not read it yet: His book The Editors is a quite endearing look behind the scenes of a fictional-but-not-so-fictional version of Wikipedia. Highly recommended.
I had a great conversation with @stephenharrison.com about how #Wikidata is quietly powering much of the digital infrastructure that we use every day. And the coolest part: you don't need to be a programmer to contribute. Small contributions can spread further than you might imagine.
