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>)
