Hi all,

here's our weekly list with Wikidata review items. We have a few new ones, some of them also rather small, next to the big gorillas.

I say it as Rob does: if you want to discuss on of the items here, it would make sense to rename the thread in your answer. Based on experience, I accept the futility of this recommendation, though :)

* ContentHandler. Tim stated he could do another review this week, in the meanwhile we have tied up several loose ends. We are eagerly awaiting the review and further input. Here's the bug: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38622 Some discussion was here on the list, too.

* Sites. There has been quite some activity, input from the outside, and the sites code has been reworked greatly. It landed in Gerrit today and is awaiting reviews. Here's the link to the RFC: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/New_sites_system and it is widely implemented.

* jQuery table sorting improvements. This improves the UI on initial display of a sorted table. Here's the patchset in Gerrit: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/22562/

* userWasLastToEdit improvement. It is just moving the function to a static place so it is available for an extension to call. That one looks straightforward to me. Here's the patchset in Gerrit: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/22049/

* Towards nested transactions. There was quite some discussion on the mailing list, and here are the currently open patchsets towards that. Some other patchsets have been already merged. Currently still open are: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/21582/ and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/21584/ . Note that this patch neither implements nested transactions, nor do we require them (we worked around that), it just would make the code nice if they were there and these are patches preparing for nested transactions.

* Reviewing the extension. We have a beautiful extension here, which is quite ready for deployment on the repository, and we need to organize the review for the extension as a whole. I assume we will start talking about this next week.

We would be very happy to see activity and merges on all or any of these items :)

Cheers, Denny
