   - this feature uses Wikidata

Tool of the week

   - Tabernacle <https://tools.wmflabs.org/tabernacle/#/> creates a tabular
   view of a set of data items from a SPARQL query, PagePile list, or manual
   list of items. You can select which languages and properties to display.
   The tool lets you drag-and-drop statements from one item to another, and
   manually add or edit statements without leaving the page. Tabernacle is
   great for harmonizing a set of related items or identifying items that need
   their labels and descriptions translated.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

   - You can test a new feature highlighting mismatched references
