 * Tool of the week
 * Wikidata Atlas is a system allows the user to search for different types of entities (with geo-coordinates) on Wikidata and visualize them on a world map. (Feedback is very welcome to help evaluate and improve the tool.)
 * Check out a similar tool: wiki-atlas


 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Wikidata:Wwwyzzerdd got an update where it now will try to predict good statements to add to Wikidata from Wikipedia articles.
 * Writing SPARQL queries can be very challenging. You can find inspiration by browsing and searching in this dataset of 2,400 queries collected from Wikidata. (source)
 * The French Wikipedia now uses a Wikidata-based list for the pages on specific dates, without relying on ListeriaBot. Who was born on a December 19th and has an article in French? You now can have the answer thanks to a Wikidata query by going to the page 1er décembre on frwiki and clicking on the infobox link " Naissances du jour ". This is a link to a Wikidata list provided by the query service. The query is generated by the template fr:Modèle:Naissances un jour du mois. This follows another such template used to find all persons with a certain surname on frwiki, used on all surnames pages and on some disambiguation pages, fr:Modèle:Liste des personnes ou_personnages par prénom. For the surname Victor (Q539581) (view with Reasonator, SQID) this generates on the page Victor_(prénom) a query such as this one.
 * Wikidata now has more than 100,000,000 items! Exactly which item was the 100 millionth is unknown as of writing, but there are some clues for anyone who wants to dig into it.
 * Survey: What are your most important Wikimedia content partnerships tools in 2022? Closes on January 8, 2023.
 * Community Wishlist Survey 2023 opens in January until Monday, Feb 6, 2023
 * There is a new website to collect contact information for heritage organizations in Georgia for the purpose of disaster response with the data coming from Wikidata.
 * Wikibase 1.38 release is delayed until January 2023
 * Job opportunities
 * Postdoc, PhDs, and technician opportunities related to Wikibase project at University of Groningen
