Development
- Continuing the work on the Mismatch Finder https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Mismatch_Finder. Focusing on wrapping up the store part of the tool and moving on to the UI for reviewing mismatches. - Made it so that Special:EntityData doesn't throw an exception when called with an invalid flavor parameter (phabricator:T286275 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T286275) - Limit languages of entity stubs in RDF output (Breaking change https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/BYLN3ZLOKOCNJ457KPBQ36OEJ7VLIXK2/ )
