== Welcome to QAWiki == 

QAWiki is a repository of questions and queries that anyone can contribute to!

QAWiki collects questions in different languages, and queries over knowledge bases like [[wikidata:Wikidata:Main_Page|Wikidata]] that can answer them. 

Questions are typically factual so that they are answerable by knowledge bases. As some examples:

* "''[[Item:Q169|Which city has the most cathedrals?]]''" ([https://w.wiki/5zxx Answer on Wikidata])
* "''[[Item:Q194|What diseases are associated with the gene FGF14?]]''" ([https://w.wiki/5zxx Answer on Wikidata])
* "''[[Item:Q101|In which museums can I see paintings by El Greco?]]''" ([https://w.wiki/5zyA Answer on Wikidata])
* "''[[Item:Q103|Who is the youngest head of state in the world?]]''" ([https://w.wiki/5zyE Answer on Wikidata])
* "''[[Item:Q284|What was the last black and white movie to win an Academy Award for Best Picture?]]''" ([https://w.wiki/5zyG Answer on Wikidata])
* "''[[Item:Q314|How many dwarf planets orbit the Sun?]]''" ([https://w.wiki/5zyK Answer on Wikidata])
