For example, how are we getting client-side FundraiserLandingPage events without corresponding server-log pageviews? [[phab:T236835#5670862]] ...see the section "Explaining orphaned events in new logs" *** Finishing up initally-contractor-written feature to extend geotargeting to regions smaller than countries.

=== Core Platform === * Blocking: ** Potentially Wikidata/WMDE: Mentioned 2 times in SoS already with no result: In the Data Bridge work (editing Wikidata items from Wikipedia) we have encountered problems with Special:EntityData serving stale (old) data. The problem is quite old: [[phab:T128486]]. We are looking for a team/person with whom we could get some clarity on the current state of the cache solutions on WMF cluster, and figure out how to get [[phab:T128486]] unstuck. **iOS ***release wikidiff2 to get section titles from compare endpoint ***counts endpoint limit increases ***minor count endpoint failing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/w/rest.php/v1/page/Barack_Obama/history/counts/mino... ) * Updates: ** REST API extension interface documentation [[API:REST_API/Extensions]]
