Development
- The new Streaming Updater for Wikidata Query Service will be in
production 18 Oct 2021
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#New_Streaming_Updater_for_Wikidata_Query_Service_in_production_18_Oct_2021>
- Working on changing the way sitelinks to Wikimedia Commons are created
from Item data; now using topic's main category (P910)
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P910> and category related to
list (P1754) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1754> before Commons
category (P373) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P373> (T232927
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232927>)
- Continuing the work on the Mismatch Finder. This week we focused on
the remaining groundwork for showing the first mismatches for review.
- Continuing to work on improvements to the underlying system of how
edits are propagated from Wikidata to the other Wikimedia projects.
- Implemented two improvements for constraints: the “distinct values”
constraint type now supports the “separator” parameter (phab:T277855
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T277855>) and we no longer check
qualifiers on some unusual™ properties (phab:T235292
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T235292>)
- Adding tags to some of the remaining UI edits that didn't get them yet
for edits on Lexemes (phab:T290950
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290950>)
- Making it possible to add tags to some remaining Lexeme API modules (
phab:T290951 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T290951>)
- Fixed a bug in the Query Builder where it didn't show labels when
opening an existing visual query from a shared link (phab:T280684
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T280684>)
- Made the Query Builder more visible in the Query Service UI (
phab:T280229 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T280229>)
