Development
- You can now add a title to a query visualisation by adding
#title:YourTitle to your SPARQL code (phab:T225883
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T225883>, example query with a title
<https://w.wiki/3RpY>)
- Added a new constraints type to indicate that a certain Property
should only be used on Lexemes of a certain language (phab:T200689
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T200689>)
- Working on not checking the format constraints via SPARQL to take that
load off the SPARQL endpoint and make it technically better (phab:T176312
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176312>)
- Working on making the API-Sandbox not suggest edits to real Items (
phab:T219215 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T219215>)
