Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Loves Women/Occupations

What is this Women Occupation Drive about ?
Help improve the occupation labels in WikiData with non gender-biased description and description in more languages


 * Below... a list of labels used in Wikidata to describe the occupation (professional field) of a person in relation to cinema.


 * The last column provides you with the number of uses of each label. For example... there are 198234 people in Wikidata whose occupation is actor. There are only 146 casting director.

The labels used are by default in English...
 * The most used ones are usually translated in a dozen of other languages (most of the time, French, German etc. ). For example make-up artist is translated in 41 languages as of early Oct 2018, none of which being African languages.
 * Our suggestion: translate those labels in more languages and in particular African languages ! This will make WikiData more useful ! Which in turn will make Wikipedia more useful !
 * You can edit the list of languages (check out some suggestions here).

The labels are usually in default gender form.
 * In some languages, the default form is suitable for use for male and female (this is usually the case in English). In other languages, there are clearly two forms... one male and one female (this is typically the case in French). In yet other cases, there is a neutral form that can be used for anyone, plus a female form, plus less frequently a male form. For example, in the case of voice artist, there is a female and a neutral form in French, but not in several other languages.
 * Our suggestion: Help complete those gender forms columns to make WikiData more useful !

How to help

 * 1) Click on the chosen language in the menu
 * 2) Add your name in the participants section
 * 3) Review the table. See if there are some entries missing (for example, no female form when there should be one).
 * 4) If a label needs to be fixed, click on the "item" link in the last column (such as Q33999). This will bring you directly to the entry on wikidata.
 * 5) Look for the label area specific to female form of label. Fix the labels over there, directly on WikiData.
 * 6) Then come back to your table on wikipedia and resume reviewing it
 * 7) Repeat labelling
 * 8) When you are done... to update the table and see the full results of your work, click on the little link top right Automatically update the list now
 * 9) Enjoy !
