]
- WikiShootMe <https://wikishootme.toolforge.org/> expanded to make it
possible to find the Items close to pictures you took so you can upload and
add them to them (source <http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=701>)
Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Template:Synia <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Synia> is a new
template which makes it easy to create links to Synia
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Synia> from Wikidata.
Template:Synia+ <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Synia%2B> guesses
the relevant configuration pages for each entity depending on the values of
P31 and P106.
- Wikifunctions <https://www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Main_Page>,
Wikidata's newest sibling project, had a soft launch. Welcome to the
Wikimedia wikiverse, functioneers!
- The ORES service will be decommissioned and replaced by Lift Wing. If
you have a tool that relies on ORES scores to judge edits or the quality of
an Item please read the migration announcement
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EK65B7QCQHEG37C2ERPIUSP64OX3ZEUJ/>.
We are collecting affected community tools in phab:T343419
