Heya folks :)
I wanted to give you a heads-up about the next steps for Wikidata deployment. In this particular case it is about the first Wikipedia actually using language links from here. A while ago we discussed this with the Hungarian Wikipedia community and they agreed to be the first to use Wikidata. (Thanks so much!) We're now getting closer to the date where this will actually happen. As it currently looks we will flip the switch on January 14th. Obviously unforseen stuff might happen and delay this but that's our current plan. More Wikipedias should follow soon after that and I will keep you posted when I have more concrete info about the dates for those. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Heya folks :)
The date for deployment on the Hungarian Wikipedia is getting closer and since Friday the code that will be deployed is running on test2.wikipedia.org. If you have not done so already it'd be lovely if you could give it some testing there and report bugs if you find any problems. Reminder: What's there so far is: * use of language links from wikidata.org and link in the sidebar of articles to change them * relevant changes show up in recent changes * option in recent changes to toggel showing of wikidata.org edits or not (plus an option in your preferences to change the default)
Thanks for helping to make sure the first deployment on a Wikipedia will go as smoothly as possible.
Cheers Lydia
