{{WCNA 2024 Session Submission
|status=Accepted
|type=Workshop
|theme=Open Data, Reliable Sources
|abstract=Many editors may not have the time and inclination to create full-fledged articles out of a Wikipedia red link. However, it is easy to create a Wikidata item and collect facts about the film or film maker. Additionally, Wikidata may already have the existing item and perhaps even links to other languages. Wikipedia editors may then link to these by using the <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:w:en:Template:ill|ill]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki> template.

Wikidata editors may wish to enable [[:Wikidata:Wikidata:Recoin|Recoin]] at [[:Wikidata: Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets]].

The slide deck is at [[:File:Using Wikipedia films and film makers red links to seed Wikidata.pdf]].

This workshop will demonstrate a workflow:
*Create the label and description.
*Enter [[:wikidata:Wikidata:WikiProject Movies/Properties#Core properties|core properties]] that are knows for films and [[:wikidata:Wikidata:WikiProject_Biography/Model#Human|human properties]] that are known for film makers (see also the inactive [[:wikidata:Wikidata:List of properties/Summary table/en#Person|Wikidata:List of properties/Summary table/en#Person]] that is retained for historical reference).
*Do a Google or other search for the film or film maker name in quotes. When necessary, add any other search term or filters to limit the search.
*Scroll through the results looking for [[:wikidata: Wikidata:WikiProject Movies/Properties/identifiers|external identifiers]] that you can then enter. 
{{ombox |text=''Note that some Wikipedia templates can grab specific identifiers from Wikidata, such as <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:w:en:Template:IMDb title|IMDb title]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:w:en:Template:IMDb name|IMDb name]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:w:en:Template:Rotten Tomatoes|Rotten Tomatoes]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>, and <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:w:en:Template:AllMovie name |AllMovie name]]<nowiki>}}</nowiki>.''}}
