Heya folks :)
I wanted to give you a heads-up about the next steps for Wikidata
deployment. In this particular case it is about the first Wikipedia
actually using language links from here. A while ago we discussed this
with the Hungarian Wikipedia community and they agreed to be the first
to use Wikidata. (Thanks so much!) We're now getting closer to the
date where this will actually happen. As it currently looks we will
flip the switch on January 14th. Obviously unforseen stuff might
happen and delay this but that's our current plan. More Wikipedias
should follow soon after that and I will keep you posted when I have
more concrete info about the dates for those.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Heya folks :)
The date for deployment on the Hungarian Wikipedia is getting closer
and since Friday the code that will be deployed is running on
test2.wikipedia.org. If you have not done so already it'd be lovely if
you could give it some testing there and report bugs if you find any
problems.
Reminder: What's there so far is:
* use of language links from
wikidata.org and link in the sidebar of
articles to change them
* relevant changes show up in recent changes
* option in recent changes to toggel showing of
wikidata.org edits or
not (plus an option in your preferences to change the default)
Thanks for helping to make sure the first deployment on a Wikipedia
will go as smoothly as possible.
Cheers
Lydia
