Hello everyone, here is the latest weekly update for everything going on around Wikidata. This week a lot of development updates!

Discussions[edit]

Events/Press/Blogs[edit]

Data access for Wikiquote will be enabled on June 10th. Coordination and questions should go tod:Wikidata:Wikiquote.
Superclasses maps shows coordinates for a class of items on a map. Classes are coming from Wikidata.
The EditItem suggester was released. You give it a property and it will return a list of items likely missing that property.
The new duplicate item finder lists items that should potentially be merged.

We're looking for a PHP developer to join the dev team and work on Wikidata. Apply!
Looking for a cool university project with impact? We have some of them around Wikidata - not just for computer science students. Get in touch with Lydia.
Had a lot to think about and recap from the Zürich Hackathon, e.g. things regarding search, suggestions as well as the user interface redesign
Started doing mockups of the new user interface (Nothing to show yet, sorry!)
Setup an autogenerating code documentation instance on labs at wbdoc.wmflabs.org. Hint: Submitting patches that make the inline code documentation even better is a good starting point to get involved in coding
Continued working on the wikiba.se site and FAQ
Worked on new datatype monolingual text (basically a string with an associated language)
Reworked a hell lot of “change operations” code that’s responsible for each and every edit as well as validating user input and API requests, for example denying empty descriptions and finding and blocking unnecessary duplications
Checked all the new Beta features that the teams in San Francisco are developing and made sure they work with Wikidata
Our efforts to make Wikidata faster broke some gadgets so we helped fixing them. Sorry for the breakage!
Dug into odd display bugs with the MonoBook skin and attempted to fix them (bugzilla:64741)
More testing on simple queries
Tpt worked on making inter-project links in the sidebar a beta-feature

See current sprint items for what we’re working on next.
