- Wikibase REST API:
- We worked on the ability to create Items via POST
/entities/items (phab:T342990
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T342990>)
- We worked on making it possible to modify the data of a Property
via PATCH /entities/properties/{property_id} (phab:T347394
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T347394>)
- EntitySchemas: We are getting back to making architecture
improvements to enable the new datatype to link to EntitySchemas in
statements.
- IP masking: We wrapped up the work on adapting Wikibase for the
upcoming IP masking changes.
- Query Service: We added the ability to stop a query in the UI in
order to not have to wait for a broken query to finish or run into a
time-out. You can find the stop button below the run button in
the query UI
now.
