* Development *
- Lua: We changed the Wikibase function *getAllStatements* logic to behave as *getBestStatements*.

(phab:T270851 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T270851) - Wikibase REST API: - Wikibase REST API is now on version 1! https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/L7CPFQRY4RC5NCXOKRN4HWBTNBJ6GS4X/ - We've finished the work on the create Property endpoint so it is now possible to create Properties via the REST API. - Configuration: We removed 'mainpage' from $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg for Wikidata as requested so translations of the main page are available ( phab:T184386 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184386) - mul language code: We moved it to the top of the termbox so labels and aliases in mul are visible first (phab:T371802 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T371802) - Revision table size: We are investigating the current state of the revision table of Wikidata's database and what the next steps should be to address its issues.
