Development

   - Simple Query Builder development continues. We worked on combining
   different query conditions as well as internationalisation.
   - Making the precision translatable in geocoordinate and date inputs (
   phab:T269102 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T269102>)
   - Changes to descriptions in a specific language now show up on
   watchlist and recent changes on the Wikipedia and co for that language (
   phab:T191831 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T191831>)
   - Finished working on the problem of incorrectly-escaped label being
   included in a link to Special:NewItem if there are no search results (
   phab:T263258 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T263258>)
   - Investigating why we're currently skipping a significant number of
   Item IDs (phab:T268625 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T268625>)
   - Wikibase Release Strategy/Infrastructure: We have decided where to
   host future Docker and tarball releases of Wikibase. You can read about the
   details and the reasoning in the following ADRs: Docker Image Repository
   
<https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/blob/main/docs/adr/0001-docker-image-repository.md>,
   Tarball Repository
   
<https://github.com/wmde/wikibase-release-prototype/blob/main/docs/adr/0002-tarball-hosting.md>
