Development

• Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
  • We are continuing to evaluate the prototype for reducing the number of unnecessary edits from Wikidata that show up in watchlist and recent changes of Wikipedia and co. The approach is to look at the diff of the rendered article before and after the change from Wikidata is made. If there is no difference then the change is probably not relevant for that article. We are collecting a sample to further understand how it performs.
  • To continue to address Wikidata's scaling issues, we are planning the migration of entity usage tables to the X1 cluster.
• Mobile editing of statements:
  • We implemented more feedback from testing of the new mobile front-end. Specifically we worked on making it clearer when a statements already exist that the editor is trying to add to the Item.
  • Additionally, we made minor improvements to the look and feel of the mobile front-end.
• REST API:
  • REST search routes now take apihighlimits right into account (phab:T428032)
  • We are starting to work on Lexeme support (phab:T429572, phab:T429332)
• GraphQL:
  • We added support for requesting “best statements” for a given Property (phab:T428138)
  • We are working on adding support for negation in Property value pair filters (phab:T429580)
