Development

   - You see that you can now show labels/descriptions/aliases for all
   languages that have been added to an item by clicking "more languages"
   - Preparation for arbitrary access on Commons
   - Getting ready for the hackathon in Israel
   - More work on making the extended input for geocoordinates and dates
   less complicated to understand
   - Worked on making scrolling of large items less laggy
   - Made the query service map visualization no longer show coordinates
   that are not on earth
   - Fixed a bug where the removal of a sitelink couldn't be done (
   phabricator:T129450 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129450>)
   - Query service no longer restores previous query as requested
   - Fixed a bug where adding a statement would leave a stray "add
   qualifier" link (phabricator:T128317
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128317>)
