- Newest database reports: Missing properties by number of sitelinks:
P22 (father)
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/top_missing_properties_by_number_of_sitelinks/P22>
(works
again)
Development
- Finished preventing a case where the same sitelink could be added to
two different Items (phab:T291377
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T291377>)
- Continuing work on the Mismatch Finder
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Mismatch_Finder>. Currently
focusing on showing the details of the mismatches to the person reviewing
mismatches.
- Continued work on not allowing two Properties to have the same label
after undo/revert (phab:T289473
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T289473>)
- Continuing work on improving how changes on Wikidata are propagated to
Wikipedia and the other other Wikimedia projects. The new system is being
rolled out to all wikis now. It should not change anything for editors and
just be a technical improvement in the backend.
