Development
- Mobile statement editing: We made progress on support for more datatypes for editing.
- Wikidata integration in Wikipedia and co:
- We are investigating an issue with infoboxes using data from Wikidata after some recent changes to usage tracking (phab:T407684)
- We are working on more improvements to the Databox module
- Ontology federation: We are starting to work on making it possible for other Wikibase instances to use Wikidata's Items as values in their statements. This expands on previous work around federated properties.
- Dumps: We have worked on fixing issues with the dumps that were failing recently. They should now be generated again and we continue to look into the cause.
