Development

- Started research and collecting material for the work on improvements to the Lexeme UI and prepared the first interviews - Finishing up the work on the first version of the Query Builder. We still need to get the security review before we can deploy it properly. Current state can be tested on the test system https://query-builder-test.toolforge.org/. - Finalized the dashboard to see the number of (active/very active) editors split by namespace. See the graphs at the bottom of this dashboard https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/000000162/wikidata-site-stats?orgId=1. - Continued working on the remaining pieces needed to fully support editing statements on Senses of a Lexeme (phab:T199896 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T199896)
