[Wikitech-l] [JavaScript] The best documentation automation can buy

[Stephen Niedzielski]

Yo! I've written a short post on improving JSDocs with typing. It's
called "the best documentation automation can buy." If you write
JavaScript, you may find it informative. If you're already using this
new tooling in your projects, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts as
well.

In Grant's words, "Write the docs!"

[Wikitech-l] [Blog post] Tale of redesigning the huge Wikidata wb_terms table

[Léa Lacroix]

Hello all,

For almost a year, the Wikidata development team has been working on the
task of redesigning and migrating the wb_terms table, which had become too
big and unsustainable over the years.

You can read the tale of our journey on this blog post: Come to Terms with
Changes


If you’re a tool maintainer and your tool queries directly the Labs
database replicas, you can read more details

about the next steps and how to update your code.

Congratulations to all the developers involved in this big project!

Cheers,

[Wikitech-l] MediaWiki API page move/redirect data

[James Gardner via Wikitech-l]

Hi all,

We're still working on a project with the MediaWiki API, and we've ran into
a different issue regarding page moves/redirects.

We're trying to pull revision and redirect data from the "Killing/Death of
Luo Changqing" page and talk page. Unfortunately, this page wasn't found
when pulling it through the MediaWiki API when we filtered using our date
range from 2009-2019. Either Death or Killing worked prior to the page
move, but now we found that we can no longer access the revisions that
occurred during the old time frame.

Regarding pages that have been moved/redirected, what would you recommend
us to do pull this data that was previously available?

Thanks,

Jackie, James, Junyi, Kirby
