automatic interwiki links for Wiktionary). It is still waiting for security
review before it can be deployed.

the future you'll be able to use Wikidata's items and properties to
describe files on Commons.
- Added Innu-aimun as a language for monolingual text values (
phabricator:T151129 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151129>)
- Worked on linking to Wikipedia articles in the statements on an
ArticlePlaceholder (phabricator:T113955
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T113955>)
- ArticlePlaceholder got a button to translate articles via the
ContentTranslation
extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ContentTranslation> (
phabricator:T124036 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124036>)
- Prepared a bot to fix quantity values after the recent changes to
precisions (phabricator:T142087
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142087>)
- Did user interviews for use cases and workflows on Commons
