Development

- Mismatch Finder https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Mismatch_Finder: The website part of the tool is taking shape but is not quite functional yet. We worked on creating the results page. You can see the current very much not finished state at https://mismatch-finder.toolforge.org/ - Linked the Query Builder from the Query Service so it is discoverable ( phab:T280229 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T280229) - Finished work on normalizing filenames when linking to media files on Commons (phab:T251480 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T251480) - All new wbstack.com https://www.wbstack.com/ wikis will now be created with elastic search support, including Wikibase indexes! All existing sites will have elastic search soon! (Source https://twitter.com/addshore/status/1433852813772214277)
