Heya folks :)

Discussions
Did you know?
Development
- Continued making the UI faster
- Fixed Wikidata changes not showing up in the watchlist on the client (Wikipedia, etc.) (bugzilla:62149)
- Decided to turn off the inoperable wikidata.org language subdomains for now to reduce confusion
- Created initial version of Wikibase Internal Serialization component
- wbEntity and wbUsedEntities JavaScript variables are now cached in the parser cache
- Ongoing refactoring to get rid of the previously used numeric ID numbers in favor of prefixed IDs
- Made wbsearchentities aware of previously unquoted percent characters
- Put some time into fixing longstanding oddities that made the developers cry from time to time
- Worked on reducing internal usage of EntityContent, in preparation for redirect support
- Worked on performance issues with JSON dump generation (hopefully we can start generating dumps soon)
See current sprint items for what we’re working on next.
