Development

- Continued building out documentation for Federated Properties ( phabricator:T255651 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T255651) and making interface improvements to the first stage of the feature (incl. phabricator:T246886 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T246886, changes to special pages that interact with both Items/Properties, and phabricator:T255581 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T255581, changes to Special:ListDataTypes when federation is enabled) - More work on the consistent design system - More work on decoupling the different Wikibase extensions from each other to make development easier - Finalizing research and interviews to better understand what could be improved in the way developers access Wikidata's data (APIs, SPARQL) - Testing the first prototype of the Simple Query Builder https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Improve_the_workflows_for_queries_and_lists/Simple_query_Builder with some editors to get final input before coding starts - Sorting of language links on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects was broken (presumably by a change in MediaWiki core). A fix is being worked on. (phabricator:T257625 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257625)
