Goals

The goal of this WikiProject is to improve items about occupations and professions, filling in missing information (e.g. labels, descriptions, statements), and doing other necessary tasks. New professions appear and some fall into oblivion over time, and there are national variations. The goal is to take this into account, so as to make Wikidata's coverage of jobs, occupations and professions as accurate as possible for all countries.

• Create a contributor community around jobs and occupations
• Create all appropriate properties to describe a job, and country specificities for this job
• Import data from the local wikipedia pages
• Reuse data to enrich all wikipedia pages
• Keep the data up-to-date with regular statistics imports about those jobs and updated concepts and definitions

Bots at work for the Taskforce

• SamoaBot 40 - importing ROME codes from fr:infobox métiers
• We actually need to import the full coding systems for each country, and merge them with existing items. France has around 10 000 official names alone (no articles for all of them, but for many of them)
• A good starting point to operate a bot: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Scripts#Wikidata
• Page dedicated to bots for the WikiProject Occupation and professions
