Development
- Cut save-time for edits in half (phab:T288639
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288639>)
- Mismatch Finder
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Mismatch_Finder>: We are making
good progress on the tool. We made it possible to retrieve mismatches that
are in the store part of the tool via an API.
- Regular expressions in constraints are now no longer checked via the
Query Service. The checks have been completely moved over to a dedicated
service for regular expression checking. (phab:T204031
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T204031>)
- Edits made via the user interface (as opposed to with tools, bots,
etc.) are now tagged as such to make them easier to filter (example
<https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter=wikidata-ui>
- edits made to labels, descriptions and aliases on mobile are still
missing but will follow soon)
- Working on allowing to restrict constraints to certain entity types (
