Greetings everyone,

As you may be aware of if you read the other emails in the list, the summaries will now be translatable for the next 6 issues as a trial. As such, I will continue to post the English version below but before will include a link to the Special:MyLanguage version. Enjoy!

You can read the summary in your language here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Status_updates/201...

Development

- Created a script that provides the schema creation SQL for Wikibase Query - Releases Wikibase Internal Serialization 1.1 - Made WikibaseDataModelJavascript a separate component at https://github.com/wmde/WikibaseDataModelJavascript. - Continued working on full redirect support for items. It touches a surprising big chunk of the code base. - Continued working on the QueryEngine code base and it’s data type support. - Fixed and updated the most recent implementation of the property and item selector widget, e.g. a MonoBook specific bug. - Pushed along reviews and deployment of the entity suggester code that will make suggestions for new properties to be added to items. Our hope is to have it through performance review for the next deployment. - Pushed along reviews of the “in other projects” sidebar: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Beta_Features/Other_projects_sidebar

Note from John

Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff' won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Base. This is purely a trial and if you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Status_updates/2014_06_21! Also sorry for this one being late :)
