TASK DESCRIPTION **Feature summary** (what you would like to be able to do and where): I, Safwan Morshed of the US and @Mahir256 discussed the possibility of adapting a collected and organized database for crescent moonsightings. Currently, the only comprehensive database is hosted by the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide (MCW <https://www.moonsighting.com/mcw.html>). ** I am a member of this committee.** We believe such a database has a home on Wikidata, but some effort has to be organized in order for such a database to be constructed and managed. I floated the idea of incorporating Incubator or WMFLabs into the equation. Database could be structured as an SQL database so it could extended to the query language (https://query.wikidata.org/) **Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution): These optimizations serve as critical resources that can be open to all muslims and community worldwide to access. Potential papers or studies in regards to ML with a moonsighting database could be accomplished with a home on Wikidata. Other forms of analysis could be performed with ease if everything is collated together on Wikidata. **Benefits** (why should this be implemented?): Moonsightings are pivotal both religiously and astronomically. By managing such a database on Wikidata, we advance scientific observations and promote user contribution. The whole goal of MCW is to get as many people contributing as possible. This is the sole mission of WMF, and the sole reason why this has a home in Wikidata.
