(examples: American Sitcoms
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-timeline/#/timeline?title=American%20Sitcoms&query=claim%5B31%3A%28tree%5B5398426%5D%5B%5D%5B279%5D%29%5D%20AND%20claim%5B495%3A30%5D%20AND%20claim%5B136%3A170238%5D>,

- Cool new tool by Magnus for dynamic list generation
<http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=354>
- nlwiki has made great progress in getting down the number of articles
not connected to Wikidata
<https://twitter.com/MagnusManske/status/648790530927800320>
- The Museum of Modern Art website now includes Wikidata IDs (example
<http://www.moma.org/collection/artists/5078>)
- 50.79% of all #Wikidata items have none, one or two statements now.
Next month it is likely to be less than half. Good progress!

Development
- You can now find the Wikibase ontology at
http://wikiba.se/ontology
- Special:UnconnectedPages will have a namespace filter
- Worked on a small birthday present (One month left!) and party
organizing (more info coming in the next days)
- Language fallbacks will be shown also when adding a new statement, in
qualifiers and references as well as for badges

Wikipedia and co (phabricator:T50389
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T50389>)
- Worked on RfC for multi-content revisions. This is groundwork for
Commons support. (phabricator:T107595
