Planned useStrategy probably first to go through the A-Z index and match all place/place entries there as settlements; then go through the categories, matching with the assistance of the geographic location and feature-type, then finally look through the scotfax section to see which pages there are where we may have an exact existing match already specific to Scotland.

Motivation

[edit]

Undiscovered Scotland (Q113699295) is a site with extensive descriptions of places of interest (settlements, museums, historic sites, etc) in Scotland. I believe it would be a useful resource for Wikidata (and Commons categories) to systematically index and link to, in particular for its content on smaller and often less well-known places and museums. We should already have existing items for almost all entries; any that we do not have items for, we probably should have. -- Jheald (talk) 10:49, 4 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
