During both meetings we discussed final design of View it!, and results refinement and querying. Check the August updates for notes from both meetings.
View it! is working across all Wikimedia projects, and we are currently working on multi-lingual functionality.
Coming in September
Currently plan to focus development on multilingialism, on-wiki/editor features for the user script, and extending the search functions on Toolforge.
We are continuing to respond to user feedback and finalizing design.
Action to take
Install Beta script and see how it can used to add new images to articles.
All editors are invited to share the tool with their local wiki communities, or incorporate it into relevant local templates, such as infoboxes. If you do so, please let us know about it, so we can ensure backwards compatibility for that use case as we continue development!

Big news, View it! users! Over the last two months, View it! has been expanded to two versions. Our new full version shows images within the wiki content page, and the "View" tab displays a gallery of images without leaving the site you are on, as you can see at right. We have rebranded the original version, which utilizes the "View" tab to link to our Toolforge search results, to "Lite". We invite you to switch to full version and try it out! Major changes:
The full version includes an image carousel on each content page (at the top, under the article navigation buttons) which can be expanded for pagination.
You may notice the "View" button has moved to between the "Read" and "Edit" buttons - the View button is in the same place for both versions and we felt this was a better placement for editors.
In full version, clicking the "View" tab will take you to a full-screen gallery.
Attend our launch presentation Thursday, January 12th at 1700 UTC/1200 ET.
Save it to you calendar or join us directly on Zoom (Meeting ID: 160 454 5329)
Thank you for being a part of the View it! journey and please join us for the launch on January 12th!
