I was looking at Christine Lemmer-Webber’s Wikipedia page and had a thought that it should show her Fediverse handle.

I know nothing about Wikipedia, I know community can edit it.

Anyone have any thoughts about looking upbyour favorite Fediverse stars and adding their Fediverse handle to Wikipedia?

I know George Tekai is active on Wikipedia, seems like an easy onboarding to Fediverse. Here’s all the wiki info about George oh and HERE is where he’s active on the Fediverse.

I think we need to start slipping these kinds of things everywhere so it starts people clicking. Will it be huge, probably not, but each little click can turn into a tsunami eventually.

    1. Go to Wikidata. Create an account if you don’t have one.
    2. Search for the person.
    3. Find the “Add Statement” button (all the way on the bottom of the list of statements)
    4. For property, select “Mastodon User” (you start typing it, it will show up in the dropdown).
    5. Add the mastodon handle (without the first @ sign)
    6. Submit.
