Development

   - Worked more on making it possible to use Wikidata items and properties
   to make statements about multimedia files on Commons in the future
   - Adding a list of items used in an article to the edit page on
   Wikipedia and co (phabricator:T144921
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T144921>)
   - More work on automated language links for Wiktionary (
   phabricator:T145412 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T145412>)
   - Improve the way to count and display the number of items on the main
   page (phabricator:T144687 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T144687>)
   - Solved a bug on the gadget DuplicateReferences (phabricator:T146318
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146318>)
   - Clicking on the desired property while adding a new Statement didn't
   focus the value input. That has been fixed (phabricator:T144037
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T144037>).
   - Made it possible to use the bzr and cvs protocols in URL data types (
   phabricator:T146692 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T146692>)
