- IsisCB Explore https://data.isiscb.org/ - is a research tool for the history of science whose books and subjects use imagery from Wikidata.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Template Item documentation https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Item_documentation now includes a query to the corresponding lexemes. This is an attempt to make navigation between lexemes and items easier. For the record, Item documentation https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Item_documentation is available in the header of the talk page for each item.

Development
- Lexicographical data: We are wrapping up the coding on the new Special:NewLexeme page. Testing and rolll-out will follow soon. We are still working on making it easier to find languages in the language selector on the Special:NewLexeme page. (phab:T307869 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T307869) - REST API: We are continuing to code on the ability to create statements on an Item (phab:T306667 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T306667) - Investigating an issue with labels not being shown after merges ( phab:T309445 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T309445) - Preparation for upcoming work: We are planning the next work on the Mismatch Finder to address feedback we have received so far as well as EntitySchemas to make them more integrated with other areas of Wikidata.
