> In 2019 Wikimedia Israel (WMIL) decided to develop instructional material
> for the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS). The background for this decision was
> that we see audiences to whom we introduce Wikidata become especially
> enthusiastic when we present the Wikidata Query Service
> <https://wdqs-tutorial.toolforge.org/> tutorial
> <https://wdqs-tutorial.toolforge.org/>, which offers quite a
> unique feature within the landscape of information services available
> today. This enthusiasm often dampens when audiences discover that querying
> is not done using natural language but rather requires learning SPARQL.
>
> We believe learning SPARQL is not rocket science, even for audiences with
> no programming background. We created a step-by-step tutorial website to
> give users an introduction and some basic lessons on how to use the query
> service. While WDQS has a great Help section, this section might not be so
> helpful to users who are new to Wikimedia platforms. We therefore built the
> tutorial website on the WordPress platform which has a more familiar design
> to most users.
>


> We believe this website will make the WDQS more accessible, and hope this
> will be a way to expand Wikidata to new audiences.
>


> Currently the site is in English but we are open for collaborations to add
> the tutorial in other languages. We are also keen to hear feedback from
> those involved in Wikidata Outreach.
