   P22 (father)
   
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/top_missing_properties_by_number_of_sitelinks/P22>
(works
   again)

Development

   - Finished preventing a case where the same sitelink could be added to
   two different Items (phab:T291377
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T291377>)
   - Continuing work on the Mismatch Finder
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Mismatch_Finder>. Currently
   focusing on showing the details of the mismatches to the person reviewing
   mismatches.
   - Continued work on not allowing two Properties to have the same label
   after undo/revert (phab:T289473
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T289473>)
   - Continuing work on improving how changes on Wikidata are propagated to
   Wikipedia and the other other Wikimedia projects. The new system is being
   rolled out to all wikis now. It should not change anything for editors and
   just be a technical improvement in the backend.
