Development

[edit]
  • Fixing an error that sometimes causes Wikidata UI to report 2 error messages when saving a sitelink in an Item instead of just one. (phabricator:T260869)
  • Development of version one of Federated Properties has concluded! Expect an announcement with timing of the release of this feature soon. Wikibase users who want an early look at the feature are invited to reach out to participate in the pre-release testing round.
  • Development of the WikibaseManifest extension has continued into its second sprint; we focused on determining a product specification for the Manifest output.
  • Finishing a draft documentation for a REST API to get it ready for a feedback round before implementation.
  • Finished improvements to the automated scoring of the quality of Items with ORES. Still need to retrain ORES and deploy the changes before the scores are actually different though.
