Development
- Wikibase REST API:
- We released the following new stuff to Wikidata:
- GET /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements (phab:T339356
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T339356>) (new route)
- GET /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements/{statement_id}
(phab:T338383 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T338383>) (new
route)
- GET /statements/{statement_id} (now supports statements on
Properties)
- We started work on a new route for replacing the data of a
statement on a Property (phab:T340006
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T340006>)
- EntitySchemas:
- We worked on improving the termbox (the table of labels,
descriptions and aliases) on EntitySchema pages to bring it more in line
with the one on Items and Properties
- We made sure that EntitySchemas are shown by their label instead of
ID when available in Recent Changes and similar lists (phab:T339924
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T339924>)
- Mismatch Finder: We added a language selector so you can switch the
interface language (phab:T328149
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328149>)
- mul language code: We are working on showing more labels from fallback
languags in the termbox (phab:T340832
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T340832>, phab:T338330
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T338330>)
