the WEEKLYPEDIA

Hello there! Welcome once again to our weekly digest of Wikipedia activity. But first some exciting news. We at Hatnote helped launch a brand new official integration between Wikipedia and IFTTT. Whether you want more Wikipedia in your inbox, increased engagement on your home Wikipedia, or just plain love automation, there's something for you. We've written a 10-minute user's guide and a 5-step HOWTO on integrating Wikipedia and Twitter. There are already tens of thousands of happy Wikipedia+IFTTT users and we certainly hope Weeklypedians will join in on the fun!  -- Mahmoud and Stephen
