Scheduled timeframe for this is end of March * https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports has some useful reports like the list of most used properties * The interwiki shortcut :d was changed to always use www in the resulting link (to prevent editing issues on other URLs). * The list of available properties is growing: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:List_of_properties and a whole bunch of new ones are being discussed at http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal * Reasonator gives you a nice adapted view of an item about a person: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/ts2/reasonator/?q=Q1339 * Items by cat helps you find missing items in a certain Wikipedia category: http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Bene*/Items_by_cat * A few more additions to http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tools that you should have a look at if you’re editing statements * We now have more than 2600 active users on Wikidata.
