Development

   - Breaking change
   
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-tech/2017-October/001175.html>:
   "wb_entity_per_page" table will not be updated and replicated on ToolLabs
   anymore
   - A mw.wikibase.getLabelByLang Lua function will be added (
   phabricator:T173262 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T173262>)
   - The mw.wikibase.sitelink Lua function will accept a second parameter
   with the global identifier of a wiki (e.g. "enwiki") to link to (
   phabricator:T142903 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142903>)
   - Had to temporarily turn off showing Wikidata's changes on Commons and
   Russian Wikipedia because of database issues. We're working on turning it
   back on.
   - Continued work on persistently storing edits to Forms on Lexemes
   - Finishing work on checking constraints on qualifiers and references
   with the constraint checks gadget
   - Fixed a bug where notification emails for Wikidata changes were sent
   when they shouldn't have been (phabricator:T174794
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T174794>)
   - Full URIs for external identifiers will soon be in the RDF export (
   phabricator:T121274 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121274>)
