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. *Med vänliga hälsningar,Jan Ainali* Verksamhetschef, Wikimedia Sverige <http://wikimedia.se> 0729 - 67 29 48 *Tänk dig en värld där varje människa har fri tillgång till mänsklighetens samlade kunskap.
