   - Newest database reports: List of Italian language films without
   articles in Italian Wikipedia
   
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progetto:Coordinamento/Wikidata/Film_in_lingua_italiana_senza_voce>

Development

   - Unit conversion
   
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Unit_conversion_in_Query_Service>
   has been rolled out for the first dimension for a short while now.
   - Undo diffs now utilize language fallbacks for property and item labels
   (gerrit:315291 <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/315291>). Thanks to Matěj
   Suchánek!
   - Reworked database schema for Cognate (the extension that will do
   automatic interwiki links for Wiktionary). It is still waiting for security
   review before it can be deployed.
   - Worked more on basic version of Lexeme entity type
   - Fixed a bug where the links on action=info where wrong (
   phabricator:T149598 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149598>)
   - Getting close to finishing the groundwork for Federation so that in
   the future you'll be able to use Wikidata's items and properties to
   describe files on Commons.
   - Added Innu-aimun as a language for monolingual text values (
   phabricator:T151129 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151129>)
   - Worked on linking to Wikipedia articles in the statements on an
   ArticlePlaceholder (phabricator:T113955
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113955>)
   - ArticlePlaceholder got a button to translate articles via the
ContentTranslation
   extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContentTranslation> (
   phabricator:T124036 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124036>)
   - Prepared a bot to fix quantity values after the recent changes to
   precisions (phabricator:T142087
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142087>)
   - Did user interviews for use cases and workflows on Commons
   - Analyzed more Listeria queries in order to figure out steps forward
   for easier query writing
