Development
- REST API: We are continuing to implement the REST routes to get all
statements of an Item and retrieve a single statement from an Item (
phab:T305988 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T305988>, phab:T307087
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T307087>, phab:T307088
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T307088>)
- Lexicographical data: We are finishing the version of the page for
browsers without JavaScript support (phab:T298160
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298160>). We started working on the
feature to pre-fill the input fields by URL parameter (phab:T298154
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298154>). And we started working on
better suggestions for lexical categories so commonly-used ones can more
easily be added to avoid mistakes (phab:T298150
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T298150>).
- We fixed an issue with recently added new language codes not being
usable for Lexemes and not being sorted correctly on Special:NewItem (
phab:T277836 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T277836>).
