I learned from Bryan yesterday that this is possible via toolsadmin (Bryan helped with one of our tools yesterday via https://toolsadmin.wikimedia.org/tools/id/wikinav for that particular tool). Toolhub then updates the list of tools every hour and you should see your tool in toolhub. I hope this helps. And congratulations to all of you who have been involved in making this launch and product happen. :) Leila > > Regards, > Bodhisattwa > > On Fri, 15 Oct 2021 at 19:53, Birgit Müller <bmuel...@wikimedia.org> wrote: >> >> Thanks Galder :-) - answers are below: >> >> On Thu, Oct 14, 2021 at 9:38 PM Galder Gonzalez Larrañaga >> <galder...@hotmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Thanks, Brigit, for this hub, it is great to have it!
