Heya folks :)

I'm super excited to welcome the first fellow sisterproject to Wikidata. We've enabled language links for Wikivoyage now \o/ Please give the travelers a warm welcome to our coozy hangout here.

In addition we've deployed some new stuff and bugfixes. The ones that are probably most interesting for you: * various bugfixes in API and geocoordinates datatpype * calendar names can now be translated ([[bugzilla:49080]]) * starting Thursday page moves on Wikipedia will change the sitelink in the respective item (This already works for Wikivoyage now but needs an additional update on Wikipedia on Thursday. [[bugzilla:36739]]) * and most importantly: improvements to the search ranking \o/ (This will not immediately have an effect but will improve over the next days and weeks. The weighting is very simple for now based on number of sitelinks an item has. An edit of either label, description or alias is needed to calculate the new weight for an item and for this to have an effect. We're interested in feedback in 2 weeks or so if this is good enough by then or if further improvements to the ranking need to be done.)

As usual please let me know about any issues you encounter.

Cheers Lydia
