Development
- REST API:
- We would love to have some feedback on the JSON format for the REST
API
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:REST_API_feedback_round#Feedback_on_the_JSON_format>
- Planning the final pieces that still need doing before the first
release
- Vektor 2022: Finished work on making Vector’s new Search work with
Wikidata. The changes roll out for testing on test.wikidata.org next
week (phab:T275251 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T275251>)
- Query Service:
- Getting a link to the query is now possible in the same place as
getting a link to the result of the query (phab:T324218
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T324218>)
- Removed the gif that showed on hover over the button that
advertises the Query Builder to make it less annoying (phab:T296135
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T296135>)
- Added wikibase:identifiers to the autocomplete feature (phab:T302057
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T302057>)
- Adjusted the layout of the Query Builder header to be more in line
with other application (phab:T288939
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288939>)
- Constraint violations: When a language name is mentioned in the
constraint it will now show the name of the language in the interface
language instead of the language itself to make it easier to understand (
phab:T316936 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316936>)
