I gave a talk last year, "Fixing Wikidata (by viewing it as a series of tables)", which covered the "Enhanced Wikibase" suite and its components, including Anvesha/Wikidata Walkabout. Since then, another major piece of the puzzle has been created: Forage, a beginner-friendly Wikidata/Wikibase editor that complements the standard Wikidata/Wikibase editing interface. The experience creating this editor in turn led to some improvements to Anvesha/Wikidata Walkabout. This talk will cover all of this new functionality, and will offer some more thoughts on the nature of structured data within an unstructured world.
