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!

View it! is now multilingual! We are currently working on tool localization. Please consider helping us!
View it! now has advanced search option on Toolforge, simply toggle on to enable searching with a different property constraint, free text, specific resolution, and quality assessment.
Advanced search allows for searching by Commons Categories which have an associated P373.
Commons Category search will also show sub-categories for more specific results.
Coming Soon
We are releasing a new version of View it! that will implement some of the Toolforge functionality into the on-Wiki experience.
We are thinking about ways for View it! results to show up on page as an image grid, gallery or other form, without leaving the page. Please let us know what your idea/preference is.
Integrating editor features such as the ability to add an image from View it! or remove a faulty statement.
Action to take
Share your thoughts with us about the interface! What would you like the final product to look like? Should it be on-wiki? Preference on location of the button/link? We are open to ideas - please share them with us.
