Heya folks :)
I'm super excited to welcome the first fellow sisterproject to
Wikidata. We've enabled language links for Wikivoyage now \o/ Please
give the travelers a warm welcome to our coozy hangout here.
In addition we've deployed some new stuff and bugfixes. The ones that
are probably most interesting for you:
* various bugfixes in API and geocoordinates datatpype
* calendar names can now be translated ([[bugzilla:49080]])
* starting Thursday page moves on Wikipedia will change the sitelink
in the respective item (This already works for Wikivoyage now but
needs an additional update on Wikipedia on Thursday.
[[bugzilla:36739]])
* and most importantly: improvements to the search ranking \o/ (This
will not immediately have an effect but will improve over the next
days and weeks. The weighting is very simple for now based on number
of sitelinks an item has. An edit of either label, description or
alias is needed to calculate the new weight for an item and for this
to have an effect. We're interested in feedback in 2 weeks or so if
this is good enough by then or if further improvements to the ranking
need to be done.)
As usual please let me know about any issues you encounter.
Cheers
Lydia
