Event:Wikifunctions Deployment on Igbo Wiktionary

The Igbo Wikimedians User Group partners with the Wikimedia Foundation's Wikifunctions team to bring this transformative technology to Igbo Wiktionary! This landmark deployment of Wikifunctions will empower the Igbo Wikimedia community with cutting-edge tools to create, automate, and enhance language functions, revolutionising how to build and maintain Igbo language resources. By enabling simple yet powerful computational functions directly within the Igbo Wiktionary, it opens new possibilities for lexical innovation, grammatical analysis, and content development while preserving the richness of the Igbo language in the digital age.

What is Wikifunctions?
Wikifunctions is an open-source project that allows users to create, share, and execute customizable functions—predefined operations that transform inputs into useful outputs. This means:

• Simplified workflows (e.g., automatic word declensions, unit conversions, date calculations)
• No more complex templates—execute functions in just a few clicks!
• Enhanced consistency in Igbo language data and structured content.

Why This Matters for Igbo Wiktionary
This deployment will empower editors to:
✅ Automate repetitive tasks, saving time for deeper lexicographical work.
✅ Improve accuracy in grammatical functions and metadata.
✅ Expand accessibility by making Igbo language tools more dynamic and user-friendly.
