Development

   - Differences between range constraints now work only if both properties
   are present (phab:T185480 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T185480>)
   - Work on a new constraint unit which defines which units are alowed for
   a given property (phab:T164372
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164372>)
   - Make the Special:ConstraintReport easier to understand (phab:T188728
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T188728>)
   - Work on a Lua function which checks if an item is a subclass of or
   instance of another item (phab:T179155
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T179155>)
   - Started deleting old autopatrolled from the loggin table (phab:T190447
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T190447>, phab:T184791
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T184791>)
   - More work on setting up permissions for Lexeme (phab:T189480
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T189480>)
   - Fixing a bug about removing the last Lemma (phab:T189185
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T189185>)
   - Disabling the possibility to move a Lexeme (phab:T189481
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T189481>)
