Heya folks :)
Here's the Wikidata summary for the last week. The wiki version is at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Status_updates/2012_09_28
= Development =
* Updated demo system
http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de/
* Added per-language uniqueness restriction for property labels (You
can only have one property with a given name in a language. For items
this applies for the combination of label and description.)
* Tests for noexternallanglinks, CreateProperty, PropertyView
* Finished base of DataTypes and DataValues extensions
* Added resource module for loading site information
* Improved change handling on the client, including when items are
deleted and inserting changes that affect the client wiki in the
client’s recent changes (still rough)
* New “List all datatypes” Special page
* Finished property view. Property entities can be edited now
* Changes to some of the containing structures in the API, items to
entities and item to entity
* Change to token handling (gettoken has died in flames, use edit
token from action=tokens instead)
* Some cleanup for the security audit
* Worked on encapsulating auto completion widget from
EditableValue.autocompleteInterface
* Started work on supporting access to remote wikis via the ORMTable class
* Discussion and fixes regarding transaction logic in core
* Made a git branch for the first deployment that is currently being
reviewed by WMF (current review status:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-September/063508.html)
* Test coverage for Wikibase and its extensions is now recorded and
visible online:
