Mine was on purpose Autolist2 to make bulk edits :)

Short documentation here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Workshop_at_SMHI

I also remember now that I had prepared a list of Swedes that did not have
P21 (gender), to serve as a first simple edit for each participant. I made
them first sign up on the numbered list so they each got a number, then
pasted in the prepared list of persons and asked them to add the statement
on the item corresponding to their number in the participants list.
