Heya folks :)
Here's the Wikidata summary for the last week. The wiki version is at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Status_updates/2012_09_28
= Development = * Updated demo system http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de/ * Added per-language uniqueness restriction for property labels (You can only have one property with a given name in a language. For items this applies for the combination of label and description.) * Tests for noexternallanglinks, CreateProperty, PropertyView * Finished base of DataTypes and DataValues extensions * Added resource module for loading site information * Improved change handling on the client, including when items are deleted and inserting changes that affect the client wiki in the client’s recent changes (still rough) * New “List all datatypes” Special page * Finished property view. Property entities can be edited now * Changes to some of the containing structures in the API, items to entities and item to entity * Change to token handling (gettoken has died in flames, use edit token from action=tokens instead) * Some cleanup for the security audit * Worked on encapsulating auto completion widget from EditableValue.autocompleteInterface * Started work on supporting access to remote wikis via the ORMTable class * Discussion and fixes regarding transaction logic in core * Made a git branch for the first deployment that is currently being reviewed by WMF (current review status: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-September/063508.html) * Test coverage for Wikibase and its extensions is now recorded and visible online: http://wikidata-docs.wikimedia.de/testcoverage/
