Development
- Recovering from hackathon
- Prepared rollout of usage tracking and arbitrary access to more wikis
- Testing of the query service
- Fixed styling issues with entity selector
- Worked more on Capiunto to make it easier to create good infoboxes
- Worked on making broken values editable to fix them (this for example
happens when a property is deleted but some values are left over)
- Made entity id an optional parameter in mw.wikibase.label and
mw.wikibase.description lua methods. (default to use connected item)
