Development
- Lucie successfully defended her thesis about the ArticlePlaceholder.
Congrats!
- Worked more on the first version of the user interface for structured
data for multimedia files
- Worked on simplifying input of queries for people who do not know
SPARQL
- Improved localizability of the sitelink and reference counters
- Allow input and output of localized dates with precision smaller than
years (phab:T95532 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95532> and
phab:T127820 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T127820>)
- More string properties have been converted to external id ones, so
that we have over 850 external id properties
<https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:ListProperties/external-id&limit=1000>
now
- Experimenting with Citoid support for Wikidata to make it easier to
add complete references in the way Visual Editor does it
- Improved performance of sticky property labels (phab:T103485
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103485>)
- Released DataValues JavaScript 0.8.1
<https://github.com/wmde/DataValuesJavascript>
