Other Noteworthy Stuff
[edit]- Rollout of phase 1 (language links) on all remaining Wikipedias is still planned for March 6
- Next update on wikidata.org is also planned for March 6. This will have bugfixes and if all goes well string as a new available data type.
- Proposal was made to the Hungarian, Hebrew and Italian Wikipedias to be the first batch to use phase 2 of Wikidata (infoboxes). Scheduled timeframe for this is end of March
- d:Wikidata:Database reports has some useful reports like the list of most used properties
- The interwiki shortcut :d was changed to always use www in the resulting link (to prevent editing issues on other URLs).
- The list of available properties is growing and a whole bunch of new ones are being discussed
- Reasonator gives you a nice adapted view of an item about a person
- Items by cat helps you find missing items in a certain Wikipedia category
- A few more additions to d:Wikidata:Tools that you should have a look at if you’re editing statements
- We now have more than 2600 active users on Wikidata. Thanks for being awesome. <3
