Heya folks :)
We've just deployed new code to
wikidata.org. We fixed a few bugs, most notably:
*
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45244 - Shows
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:
