Dear all, Does this news change the plan for Wikilovesmonuments,
Switzerland stil have't decide whether or not we will have a WLM2013, but having the possibility to use Wikidata instead of list in different wikipedia could influence a lot our choice.
Sincerely
Charles

Heya folks :)
We've just deployed new code to wikidata.org. We fixed a few bugs, most notably:
statements from "oldid" version, not "diff" version
- Fixed a number of issues in translatable messages that made it hard
to translate them
In addition to that there is also shiny new stuff:
- Bene* wrote a new special page to set language links without
JavaScript enabled (Special:SetSiteLink)
- Made first version of the geocoordinates datatype available \o/
This means that you will be able to enter the coordinates of a city for example as soon as someone created the necessary property for it. (There are a few waiting on http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal.) It's still a bit wonky so please do let me know about any issues you find. We're already aware of: ** https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49385 - cardinal directions in geocoordinate datatype are not localized ** https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49386 - apostrophe issue in geocoordinate UI ** https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49387 - property parser function needs to support geocoordinate datatype
Please subscribe to these bugs to stay up-to-date and please vote on the ones you care about most to help us prioritize. (You can find a list of all open bugs here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?emailcc1=1&resolution=---&...)
Cheers Lydia
