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 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T343419.
