Tool of the week
- Mix'n'match https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match lets you match lists of external identifiers to Wikidata items, or create new items if necessary. Thousands of catalogs already exist, in dozens of different topic areas, and it's easy to import new ones.
Other Noteworthy Stuff
- New: Overview of GLAM metadata standards and (if relevant) how they are mapped and crosswalked on Wikimedia projects https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Metadata_standards_and_Wikimedia. Feel free to add more to the list! - Wikidata Lexeme Forms can now group forms înto sections, and (on wide screens) distribute sections across two columns! https://twitter.com/LucasWerkmeistr/status/1271774129075650562 - New Wikidata Lexeme Forms feature: the warning about duplicate lexemes now links to edit mode, where you can fix any forms that the existing lexeme might be missing. https://twitter.com/LucasWerkmeistr/status/1272113997790220288

Development
- Collecting a lot of feedback and doing research around how to improve our APIs to start making it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers - Finalized the initial feature list for the query builder and working on designs and prototypes for testing - Doing user research on the Merge gadget to prepare for making it part of the proper code-base so that other Wikibase instances also benefit from easier merging - Federated Properties: continued working on the first version of Federation that will make it possible to use Wikidata's Properties in another Wikibase installation - Start of a new project (Wikibase Decoupling & Extension Registration) in order to clean up our codebase a bit and make it easier to extend with new features in the future - More work on the design system to have a set of unified components for Wikidata that will make it easier to develop new features in the future because we don't have to rewrite components that are used in a lot of places - Some MediaWiki skin changes meant broken edit links on Wikipedia and co. Fixed now. (phabricator:T252800 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T252800)

Dear Wikidata people,
I regularly experience that the Wikidata lexemes, forms (and perhaps senses?) are not that quickly indexed to the degree that newly entered Wikidata lexemes and forms are not possible to reference as property values.
I am wondering whether other editors face the same issue? Maybe I am the only one bothered by the issue. I tend to use the compound and usage example property often where this is an issue.
Labels from newly entered Q-items also suffer lag in indexing, but in this case the Q-identifier can be used for the lookup.
I am wondering whether there is a "secret" way of referencing a newly entered item in the same way as Q-items. I have tried, e.g., L2133, Lexeme:L2133, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Lexeme:L2133, but none of them lookup.
I believe the issue has been a particular problem since the wb_terms table was dropped? But apparently, there was also an issue in 2018 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T196896 that seems to have been solved by Stas at that point.
I am wondering whether this is worth a Phabricator ticket?

Hi,
I notice everyday the same issue. I've seen other people saying the same thing.
This ticket https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T240328 reports this problem (or a related one at least).
Cheers, ~nicolas
