This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2013-04-19.

Development[edit]

  • Dispatch lag is now down to 0 so changes should show up very quickly on the Wikipedias in watchlists and recent changes
  • wikidata.org now always redirects to www.wikidata.org. This should among other things solve the issue where people were not able to edit when on wikidata.org (bugzilla:45005)
  • Fixed weird blocked-user/protected-page handling in UI (bugzilla:45140)
  • Final meetings for the external professional review of our code and architecture. They were quite happy with the quality of the codebase and gave useful tips for improvements
  • Worked on automatic summaries for editing claims
  • Investigation of different JavaScript frameworks dealing with date and time
  • Worked on using Redis and the job queue for change notifications to clients
  • Work on the storage code for answering queries
