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.
