Tool of the week

   - IdentifierInput
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:1Veertje/identifierInput> makes it
   easier to add identifier properties by letting you put in the full url and
   then stripping it down to just the identifier for you.

Development

   - Wikibase REST API: We finished the new endpoint for patching labels (
   phab:T332739 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T332739>). We also
   started work on the new endpoint for retrieving Property data (
   phab:T337720 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337720>)
   - Client wikis: We drastically reduced the size of a ResourceLoader
   module that’s loaded on most Wikipedia page views (phab:334682
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/334682>)
   - Language code: With awesome help from Nikki, we improved documentation
   for how to add language codes to Wikibase/Wikidata (phab:T335857
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T335857>)
   - EntitySchemas: We are getting the new datatype ready for testing.
