Development
- Mismatch Finder: Finishing work on importing mismatches and moved on
to building the API for retrieving mismatches from the mismatch store.
- Added tags for all edits done through the UI to more easily
distinguish them from edits made through tools and other means (
phab:T236893 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T236893>)
- Moved regular expression checking for constraints from the SPARQL
endpoint to a dedicated service to make it faster and put less stress on
the SPARQL endpoint (phab:T176312
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T176312>)
