Previously it was limited in which Properties were indexed for it. Going forward haswbstatement:P123 will work for all Properties, regardless of their datatype. This will allow you to filter search results for Items that have a statement with a specific Property. (Searching for a specific complete statement with haswbstatement:P123=xxx will still only work for specific datatypes.) For this to work all Items have to be reindexed and this will take up to 1 month. - Design system migration: We have migrated the Special:NewLexeme page from Wikit to Codex and are working on finishing the migration for the Query Builder. - EntitySchemas: We finished the investigation about how to support search for EntitySchemas by label or alias when linking to an EntitySchema in a statement. (phab:T362005 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T362005> ) - Wikibase REST API: We worked on integrating language fallbacks into the API (phab:T371605 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T371605>) You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/4RotIcw5oINo/#R>.
