The deployment date should be: 9th September 2015 (just under 2 weeks) The change making the breaks an be found at: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/227686/ The breaking changes are: - XML output aliases are now grouped by language - XML output may no longer give elements when they are empty - XML any claim, qualifier, reference or snak elements that had an '_idx' element will no longer have it - ALL output may now give empty elements, ie. labels when an entity has none If you want to see a wikipage explaining these changes take a look at: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Addshore/API_Break_September_2015 If you have any questions regarding these breaking changes please ask!

The merged changeset included changes which were not advertised, causing pywikibot to break. See T110559 The wbgetentities JSON 'entities' is now an array/list of entities instead of a mapping/dictionary of 'Qd' => entity.

Magnus is that on the live site? If so the breaking change is not being deployed until this evening! :) I believe this was probably spotted on either test or beta! On 9 September 2015 at 10:14, Magnus Manske <magnusmanske(a)googlemail.com> wrote:

Thanks for the warning. This change would break Wikidata Toolkit as well (but as I understand, it only got deployed to test.wikidata.org, not to www.wikidata.org). Markus

Assuming the fix is good, I'll deploy the fix sometime in the next ~hour to test.wikidata.org. (and yes, the bug didn't get deployed to wikidata) Cheers, Katie Markus

Has there been some delay deploying this to the test wikis? The beta and test wikis are still unusable for testing... https://test.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&ids=Q943 http://wikidata.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetentities&ids=Q22… -- John Vandenberg

Yes, there is some delay... We are now deploying the fix at SWAT deploy window (in 45 minutes from now). I can also make a new build now for beta that has the fix. Cheers, Katie
