Development

[edit]
  • Entity Schemas now have syntax highlighting for viewing (phab:T238831, example)
  • Reviewing a patch that will make it possible to use templates on d:MediaWiki:Wikibase-SortedProperties. This will for example make it possible to show labels automatically for each Property ID. Thanks, Luca! (phab:T280787)
  • Evaluated the interviews and other research we did around improvements for lexicographical data
  • Worked on/fixed small remaining bugs in the Query Builder (phab:T280505, phab:T279928, phab:T279945)
  • Continuing to work on evaluating and addressing scaling issues of the Query Service
  • Provided input to a research team working on a potential new and improved Property Suggester
  • Wikibase: we are completing the final tasks necessary to prepare the Wikibase Spring release and expect to publish new versions of the tarball and Docker images on or before May 15, 2021
