Yes, we carefully used Autolist1 so that they couldn't easily make bulk edits, to avoid this :-). It was solely a discovery tool rather than an editing one. However, in the workshop, one person did figure out how to, and did a batch of fifty on their own initiative! A. On 4 December 2015 at 18:1

That is a nice idea Andrew. One thing to be aware of is editing pace. I had an advanced workshop with prepared pre-filled Autolists, and when 10-15 people with new accounts on the same IP tried to add statements at the same time through Autolist there was some mechanism that kicked in (to protect W

Charles Matthews and I ran a workshop a little while ago which had something like the fortune cookie idea. First, we demonstrated basic Wikidata editing (adding/changing statements) as part of a discussion on the data structure - properties and items, item versus text properties, etc. After this,

Feel free to use any content from http://www.slideshare.net/_Emw/an-ambitious-wikidata-tutorial. I used those in a 60-minute, 30-40 person workshop in October. The slides cover introductory topics (basic Wikidata vocabulary, where to finds things, etc.) as well as RDF/OWL, querying, and ontology.
