TASK DESCRIPTION Wikidata can be a great provider of lists of entities based on queries. Some lists are used again and again but it can be a bit hard to get them from Wikidata. We can regularly run queries and provide CSV downloads of generally useful lists of entities. The lists that could be useful: - countries and capitals - timezones - airports - languages - units - ... What would need to happen: - open a repository on the Wikidata github org <https://github.com/Wikidata> - define the SPARQL query for the required list in a file in the repository - run the query, generate a result CSV and upload it to the repository - automate the above to regularly update the result CSV - publicize that this is available Why would this be useful? - It'd encourage more streamlined modeling for the Items in these lists. - It'd further position Wikidata as a provider of standard sets of entities. - It'd make it easier to spot changes in the data similar to what happens with Listeria. - It'd encourage discussion around sharpening the definitions of concepts like "country" TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T329368 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: Lydia_Pintscher Cc: Aklapper, Lydia_Pintscher, Astuthiodit_1, karapayneWMDE, Invadibot, maantietaja, ItamarWMDE, Akuckartz, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331
