Development
- We rolled out usage tracking on the first two wikis (French Wikisource
and Dutch Wikipedia). Users should not notice anything. More wikis will
follow in the next weeks. This is the remaining step for enabling arbitrary
access on wikis other than Commons.
- The students team is working hard to get a first release of the
improved constraint reports and checks against 3rd party databases out.
- Ricordisamoa fixed the issue with long descriptions being cut off.
- We fixed the focus flow in the property selector.
- We improved the messages on Special:EntityData to make it more
understandable.
