Development
- Vector 2020 skin: the search that works properly with Wikidata has
been deployed
- Entity Schemas: Making progress on the proof of concept that will help
us figure out the technical way forward
- REST API: getting ready to deploy the first version to
test.wikidata.org on February 17th
- Lexicographical data: When linking to a Sense in a statement the
language of the Lexeme for that Sense is now also shown. This makes it
easier to understand translation statements for example (phab:T207392
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T207392>)
- Constraints: Constraint violations are now also shown to logged out
users (phab:T272132 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T272132>)
- Fixing a regression where Wikipedia and co are no longer notified
about a disconnected sitelink when the Item that contains the sitelink is
deleted (phab:T326082 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326082>)
