Development
- You'll now get redirected to the mobile view automatically on mobile
devices (example <http://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1>)
- Made it possible to use more entities on a page via Lua without
running into Lua's memory limit
- Added the Article Placeholder extension’s results to the search result
page (this is one of a few remaining blockers before we can put it on a
testsystem for you to try out and give feedback)
- Added option to create a new article from Article Placeholder
- More work on the new datatype for properties
- More work on making meaningful edit summaries on the client. Found a
few remaining bugs during testing.
- More work on a birthday present :D
