Development
- Lexicographical data: We went over all the feedback we received for
teh testing of the new Special:NewLexeme page and started addressing it and
fixing the uncovered issues. One issue already fixed is a bug that
prevented it from working on mobile view. (phab:T313116
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313116>)
- Mismatch Finder: investigated how we can make it work for mismatches
in qualifiers instead of the main statement (phab:T313467
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313467>)
- REST API: Continued working on making it possible to replace and
remove a statement of an Item
- We enabled the profile parameter to the wbsearchentities API on Test
Wikidata (phab:T307869 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T307869>)
- We continued making Wikibase resolve redirects when showing Item
labels and descriptions in more places (phab:T312223
