Tool of the week

   - Recoin <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Recoin> displays
   information about the relative completeness of a Wikidata item by comparing
   its statements with those found on other similar items. Especially useful
   for editors working in a knowledge area that is new to them.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

   - Following a discussion on generalizing P2572 to all hashtags
   
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P2572#generalizing_the_property_to_all_hashtags>

   properties propositions, the formerly 'Twitter hashtag' property is now a
   platform-agnostic hashtag (P2572)

   regrouping content by hashtags: toolforge:hashtags-hub
   <https://tools.wmflabs.org/hashtags-hub>.
