Hey folks :)

John put together another nice weekly summary for you all so you can catch
up on all things Wikidata. Enjoy!

Discussions

   - Let's redesign Wikidata's
interface<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:UI_redesign_input>

Reasonator

   - By hovering over a wikilink you will see the first
paragraph<http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-presents-first-wikipedia.html>
   .
   - The "personal settings" allow you to import your Babel
info<http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-improving-your-personal-space.html>
from
   Wikidata. This can be used to restrict the random items you will
get<http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-bit-selective-not-random.html>
   .
   - The first iteration of "on the fly" text generation for
English<http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-johann-sebastian-bach-in-so.html>.
   It works for "humans" and, is completely based on the available Wikidata
   information.
   - You can now add labels in your
language<http://ultimategerardm.blogspot.nl/2014/02/reasonator-add-labels-in-your-language.html>
from
   within Reasonator. Technically oAuth is used. It now takes just one click
   to add a label in your language.

Did you know?

   - Newest properties: IAAF ID<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1146>
   , Lagrangian point <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1145>
   - Showcase items <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Showcase_items>
   : Vesta (Q3030) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3030>

Development

   - Wrote performance tests so we can track performance improvements better
   - Did a code review of all gadgets that are enabled by default in
   Wikidata. Found and fixed a performance bottleneck.
   - Work on making the interface more responsive, e. g. live preview when
   editing labels and updating the watchlist star when saving.
   - Started refactoring and fixing issues with automatically created
   summaries that are, for example, created by bots via API calls.
   - Fixed an issue with OAuth on Wikidata because of permissions
   - Started code review of the code the student team is working on for
   suggestions
   - Discussed updates to the data model document to be able to update it
   to the actual implementation
   - Did a technical debt analysis and design review of Wikibase.git, with
   initial focus on WikibaseLib
   - Got (backend) EntityStore on the way, so we can test API modules
   without touching the database
   - Further work on TimeParsers move to the backend
