Development
- Working on no longer using the Query Service to evaluate Constraints
Checks regular expressions (this should make our checks faster and allow
for further improvements) (phab:T176312
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176312>)
- Changing the rate limits for assigning Item IDs further, which should
result in even fewer Q-IDs being skipped in the future (phab:T284538
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T284538>)
- Finalizing the concepts for a tool to help work on mismatches between
Wikidata's data and other databases/websites/...
