* Other Noteworthy Stuff *
- Zita Ursula Zage https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Zita_Zage_(WMDE) has joined the Software Communication team https://www.wikimedia.de/ueber-uns/ansprechpartner_innen/ (SCoT) at Wikimedia Deutschland as an intern until the end of June 2025. Welcome Zita! - VIAF https://viaf.org/ (cf. Q54919 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q54919 and P214 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P214) underwent a relevant change of interface on January 10; the way of visualizing clusters in JSON format has changed in comparison with present OCLC documentation https://www.oclc.org/developer/api/oclc-apis/viaf/authority-cluster.en.html and e.g. http://viaf.org/viaf/102333412/viaf.json doesn't work anymore; this broke most or all Wikidata gadgets using VIAF data; in the absence of official communications from OCLC, developers are trying to understand if the new VIAF interface is stable before changing their gadgets accordingly
