🧑🏿💻 Development
- MUL language code: fixed the order of languages shown in the termbox
on desktop, especially when mul is used (phab:T311617
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T311617>)
- Lexicographical data:
- Made Special:NewLexemeAlpha use the same font as the rest of the
wiki (phab:T313166 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313166>) –
this should be the last blocker for replacing the old special page
- Disallowed *-x-qid with lowercase Q as Lexeme language codes in
favor of *-x-Qid (phab:T317863
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T317863>)
- REST API: worked on handling conditional HTTP request headers
- Changed the unexpectedUnconnectedPage page prop so that
Special:UnconnectedPages can show the latest pages first, which should
finally resolve this old security task in production (phab:T300770
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T300770>)
- Cleaned up the Wikibase and WikibaseLexeme ontology files (phab:T314360
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T314360>)
- Added a few more globes for geocoordinates (phab:T314611
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T314611>) - Thanks, Mike!
