Development
- Finished first rough prototype for structured data on Commons. Wanted to sent out announcement on Friday but one configuration issue is still unsolved. Should be solved in the next 1 or 2 days. - We are adding a "no match found" message to the suggester that you get when selecting an item or property while adding a new statement for example (phabricator:T140085 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140085) - When a query result contains a mathematical expression it will soon be rendered correctly (phabricator:T137784 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T137784) - Added support for Haida (hai) for monolingual text values ( phabricator:T138131 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138131) - Finalized the infographic on data flow. For off-wiki usage https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/07/Infographic_on_the_flow_of_Wikidata_%28for_offWiki_usage%29.svg and For on- wiki usage https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Infographic_on_the_flow_of_Wikidata_%28for_onWiki_usage%29.svg .
You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/4RotIcw5oINo/#R. Monthly Tasks
- Hack on one of these https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/R8GRzX1eH0tb/#R. - Help develop the next summary here! https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/Next - Contribute to a Showcase item https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Showcase_items - Help translate https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:LanguageStats or proofread pages in your own language! - Help merge identical items https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Pasleim/projectmerge across Wikimedia projects. - Add labels, in your own language(s), for the new properties listed above.
Anything to add? Please share! :)
