Hello all, repeated discussions about what constitutes a breaking change has prompted us, the Wikidata development team, to draft a policy on interface stability. The policy is intended to clearly define what kind of change will be announced when and where.
A draft of the policy can be found at <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Stable_Interface_Policy> Please comment on the talk page. Note that this policy is not about the content of the Wikidata site, it's a commitment by the development team regarding the behavior of the software running on wikidata.org. It is intended as a reference for bot authors, data consumers, and other users of our APIs. We plan to announce this as the development team's official policy on Monday, August 22. -- Daniel Kinzler Senior Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Gesellschaft zur Förderung Freien Wissens e.V. _______________________________________________ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
