Development

   - Tainted references: Show warning icon if statement value is changed
   but reference is not changed in the same edit (phab:T231728
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T231728>)
   - Make WikibaseQualityConstraints link using SpecialMyLanguage (
   phab:T233003 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T233003>)
   - Work on the issue of property labels not showing up on some pages (
   phab:T237984 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T237984>)
   - Track Bridge openings by property datatype (phab:T231204
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T231204>)
   - Viewing existing references in the Bridge (phab:T233397
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T233397>)
   - Attaching the link listener sooner, so the user gets a bit less often
   wrongly forwarded to wikidata (phab:T235765
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235765>)
