* Lua: We changed the Wikibase function ''getAllStatements'' logic to behave as ''getBestStatements''. When invoked, it was returning mutable direct-values, now it will return a copy of those values (which are immutable). (])
* Property Suggestions: We updated the underlying data so you should have more up-to-date suggestions again when making new statements.

* Query Service: We are investigating if we can do something about the issue where not all edgeLabels are shown on a graph visualisation (]) and if there are any alternatives to the library used for the graph builder in the Query Service (])
** We've finished the work on the create Property endpoint so it is now possible to create Properties via the REST API.
* Configuration: We removed 'mainpage' from $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg for Wikidata as requested so translations of the main page are available (]) * Under the hood: We are optimizing the server setup for the term store to accommodate its growth (])
* mul language code: We moved it to the top of the termbox so labels and aliases in mul are visible first (])

Development

  • Wikibase REST API: We prototyped search support for the REST API and would like your feedback on it.
  • Property Suggestions: We updated the underlying data so you should have more up-to-date suggestions again when making new statements.
  • EntitySchemas: We continued the work on making it possible to search for EntitySchemas by their label and aliases when linking to them in a statement.
  • Query Service: We are investigating if we can do something about the issue where not all edgeLabels are shown on a graph visualisation (phab:T381857) and if there are any alternatives to the library used for the graph builder in the Query Service (phab:T381764)
  • Under the hood: We are optimizing the server setup for the term store to accommodate its growth (phab:T351802)

  • Ongoing: Wikidata Cleanup 2024 - Romaine continues his initiative, "Wikidata Cleanup," to coordinate community efforts in addressing the problem of items missing basic properties during the last ten days of 2024, when many users have extra time due to holidays. The aim is to improve data quality by focusing on ensuring all items have essential properties like "instance of" (P31) or "subclass of" (P279), adding relevant country and location data, and maintaining consistency within item series.
  • Upcoming events: Data Reuse Days - online event focusing on projects using Wikidata's data, 18-27 February 2025. You can submit a proposal for the program on the talk page until January 12th.
