This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2023-08-07.

Tool of the week

• WikiShootMe expanded to make it possible to find the Items close to pictures you took so you can upload and add them to them (source)

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• Template:Synia is a new template which makes it easy to create links to Synia from Wikidata. Template:Synia+ guesses the relevant configuration pages for each entity depending on the values of P31 and P106.
• Wikifunctions, 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. We are collecting affected community tools in phab:T343419.
