Development
- Changed the {{property}} parser function and Lua’s
mw.wikibase.entity.formatPropertyValues to only return the statements
ranked as preferred or if none are available the ones ranked as normal
(This will probably go live on April 25th.)
- Worked on improving page load time further by reducing the number of
reloads during page loading
- Made diffs for time and geocoordinates more complete and prettier
- Continued research for user interface redesign
- Tpt worked on optionally showing links to other sister projects in the
client’s sidebar
(

- Wrote a fix for Wikidata changes not showing up in the client’s
watchlist (
