Development
- Edit summaries: We made changes that will improve the automatic edit summaries of edits made using the wbeditentity API endpoint. Tools that use this endpoint to edit statements will, in some cases, now have more accurate edit summaries; this also affects how such edits are summarized in edit groups. (phab:T411247)
- Wikidata integration in the Wikimedia projects: We are collecting feedback from the first wikis who got the new and improved Databox module.
- Mobile statement editing:
- We are making remaining changes for the first roll-out as a beta-feature.
- We are working on showing constraint violations. (phab:T411602, phab:T400676)
- GraphQL: We are working on making it possible to query for Items by Property/value pair (phab:T403576)
