Abstract Wikipedia aims to document lexicographic information in Wikidata. A key stumbling block to realise this for Niger-Congo B languages, is the centrality of its noun class system that governs the rest of a sentence. At present, Wikidata has almost no data and information, and what is there is an unusable encoding for the NCB languages and the required tasks. In this abstract, we present some first steps in the direction of the creation of an inclusive model.
