Anyone have experience creating catalogs for @magnusmanske 's https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mix%27n%27match ?

Looking at doing a something like https://mix-n-match.toolforge.org/?#/catalog/427 but from a live RSS feed by national contributions (i.e. recently created / updated New Zealand names).

Many items have multiple IDs: all have P244, some P214, P213, even wikidata Qs. Feels like I should be able to add a separate column for these, but can't see it. Can I really only just bung them in the description?

I'm also in a position to create QuickStatements to create a wikidata item if not present, but can't work out how to add them to the spreadsheet.

The Magic of Alphonse Mucha | Timeless

More than a dozen striking images by Alphonse Mucha, the Czech artist widely credited as an originator of the art nouveau style, are preserved at the Library. He got his big break when he happened to be in his Paris office when Sarah Bernhardt, the famous actress, needed help with an advertising poster for one of her plays. A star was born (offscreen, in this case).
