]
- Published the first JSON dumps
- Finishing touches on badges support
- Finishing touches on redirects
- Finishing touches on the "in other projects" beta feature that
displays links to sister projects in the sidebar of Wikipedia for example
- Tested and fixed issues with allowing sitelinks to Wikidata pages and
accessing item data via Lua on Wikidata itself
- Final tests before we can start switching to the new serialization
format
- The code for simple queries is being reviewed by the Foundation. This
is hopefully the last step before we can deploy this too.
- Worked on improving the code of the {{#property}} parser function in
preparation of allowing arbitrary data access and allowing linked output.
See current sprint items <http://sb.wmflabs.org/p/wikidata/> for what we’re
working on next.
