Making progress on checking constraints also on qualifiers and references (phabricator:T168532 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T168532>) - Removed language fallback hints for dialects to make the UI less cluttered for them and make it less necessary to enter labels and descriptions for them (phabricator:T174318 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174318>) - Fixed an issue that links to an item were not showing the label when it pointed to a redirect (phabricator:T96553 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T96553>) - Unrecognized input in entity selectors will be highlighted in red ( phabricator:T170531 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T170531>) -
