Last year, the Art+Feminism community celebrated Wikidata’s birthday in the most creative way: they came together to draw a cake, one contribution at a time. Proof that you don’t need a bakery to throw a great birthday party!

Wikidata turns 14 this year. How will you and your community celebrate? 🎉
Whatever you create, make it yours. We can’t wait to see it!
