Other Noteworthy Stuff

   - There are now almost 5000 articles in Czech Wikipedia which include an
   infobox without parameters, only with data from Wikidata.
   - Input request about editing Wikidata from clients like Wikipedia
   <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2015-September/007299.html>
   - Freebase to Wikidata: results of Tpt's internship have been published
   <https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2015-October/007319.html>
   - Articles without a Wikidata item can now be filtered by category tree.
   (example for chemists on enwiki
   
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/duplicity.php?cat=Chemists&mode=list&wiki=enwiki>
   )
   - Wikidata:Units <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Units> attempts
   to list available units and properties they can be used with
   - Constraint reports
   
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Constraint_violations/Summary>
   can now check if units are within a user defined list
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Template:Constraint:Units>: e.g. report
   for mass (P2067)
   
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Constraint_violations/P2067>
   - WikiProject Economics
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Economics> needs
   more participants to organize all the new properties.

Development

   - Changed the default RDF flavor to include all statements (
   phabricator:T101837 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101837>)
   - Started to work on creating new articles from scratch from the article
   placeholder
   - Continued work on the Lua libraries of the default Article Placeholder
   layout
   - Started the research on client editing with an input page
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Client_editing_input>
   - More work on making the mobile view fit for being enabled per default
   for mobile users
   - Changed our JavaScript coding style to be more in line with MediaWiki
   core’s
   - In edit mode, the label is now displayed for units instead of a URL
   - Added a new “YearMonthDay” date parser that supports many edge cases
   where all other date parsers fail
   - More work on passing full edit summaries to the client wikis.
