[edit] Other Noteworthy Stuff

  • 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
