Development
- Cut save-time for edits in half (phab:T288639 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288639) - Mismatch Finder https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Mismatch_Finder: We are making good progress on the tool. We made it possible to retrieve mismatches that are in the store part of the tool via an API. - Regular expressions in constraints are now no longer checked via the Query Service. The checks have been completely moved over to a dedicated service for regular expression checking. (phab:T204031 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T204031) - Edits made via the user interface (as opposed to with tools, bots, etc.) are now tagged as such to make them easier to filter (example https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter=wikidata-ui - edits made to labels, descriptions and aliases on mobile are still missing but will follow soon) - Working on allowing to restrict constraints to certain entity types ( phab:T269724 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T269724)
