Wikimania 2019 / Small Wiki Toolkits quick summary
Hello everyone,

I would like to share a quick summary of Small Wiki Toolkits, which was one
of the focus areas at this year’s Wikimania Hackathon.

As part of this focus area, five workshops and two sessions were conducted
that covered a wide range of topics – developing user scripts and gadgets,
working with Wikimedia APIs, writing templates in Lua, generating Wikidata
infoboxes, leveraging Wikimedia cloud services, etc. Participants also
engaged in other activities such as the Wikidata documentation translation
sprint and cleaning MediaWiki:Common.css with TemplateStyles.

All toolkits are now available on the Meta page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits. You can also add this
page to your Watchlist to keep up to date with the next steps on this
project!
