• Could a Finn please explain to me why "sata" would not be in the partitive?—azuki (talk · contribs · email) 22:37, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

• Never knew that edit summary accepts hashtags and that they can be searched. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 07:20, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

  @OhanaUnited: Its a new tool! Currently being experimented with. Welcome experiments on how you use the hashtags! Astinson (WMF) (talk) 16:08, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

• I don't know Finnish but it sounds like they're saying women are Satan.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 20:49, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

• Are hashtag searches covered in any of the user manual pages? Jim.henderson (talk) 01:01, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

  @Jim.henderson: Nowhere yet! But please do document it! Its a social tool, that at moment, is still very experimental, and solves a number of problems. They don't have the same kind of persistent technological support yet -- but encouraging use somewhere would be great! Astinson (WMF) (talk) 16:08, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

• Where is the documentation about using hashtags in English Wikipedia? Who can generate reports? Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:23, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

  @Blue Rasberry: Reports are all generated using the tool at http://tools.wmflabs.org/hashtags . At the moment you can query the edit summaries of about 2 dozen projects, and export that data as CSV files. The blog post is the first documentation of how they are being used, beyond the initial tool announcement Hatnote's blog. Astinson (WMF) (talk) 16:08, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
