New Dustpan tool helps contributors fill Wikidata gaps

Original: Meet Dustpan, a new tool that makes it easy to find something to contribute on Wikidata! Wikidata holds millions of Item

A new tool called Dustpan has launched to make contributing to Wikidata easier. Wikidata contains millions of Items, many of which still lack important statements or details. Dustpan lets users pick a WikiProject, choose a gap type, and optionally set a scope, then surfaces Items that may need improvement, streamlining the search for useful contributions.

Why now: Volunteers and open-data enthusiasts are sharing a handy new tool that lowers the barrier to improving Wikidata.
