Development

- You see that you can now show labels/descriptions/aliases for all languages that have been added to an item by clicking "more languages" - Preparation for arbitrary access on Commons - Getting ready for the hackathon in Israel - More work on making the extended input for geocoordinates and dates less complicated to understand - Worked on making scrolling of large items less laggy - Made the query service map visualization no longer show coordinates that are not on earth - Fixed a bug where the removal of a sitelink couldn't be done ( phabricator:T129450 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129450) - Query service no longer restores previous query as requested - Fixed a bug where adding a statement would leave a stray "add qualifier" link (phabricator:T128317 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128317)
