Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Wikidata's new Main page is almost ready to go live, but is still in need of a visually-appealing banner! Got an idea for an eye-catching design that represents what Wikidata's all about? Submit proposals before August 11 at d:Wikidata:Portal Redesign/Banner https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Portal_Redesign/Banner - Wikidata's tours are now translatable.
