Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Development
    • Entity Schemas now have syntax highlighting for viewing (phab:T238831, example)
    • Reviewing a patch that will make it possible to use templates on d:MediaWiki:Wikibase-SortedProperties. This will for example make it possible to show labels automatically for each Property ID. Thanks, Luca! (phab:T280787)
    • Evaluated the interviews and other research we did around improvements for lexicographical data
    • Worked on/fixed small remaining bugs in the Query Builder (phab:T280505, phab:T279928, phab:T279945)
    • Continuing to work on evaluating and addressing scaling issues of the Query Service
    • Provided input to a research team working on a potential new and improved Property Suggester
    • Wikibase: we are completing the final tasks necessary to prepare the Wikibase Spring release and expect to publish new versions of the tarball and Docker images on or before May 15, 2021

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Call to participation in interview study to building a recommender system that can help improve the editing experience in Wikidata: Researchers at King's College London develop a personalized recommendation system to suggest Wikidata items for the editors based on their interests and preferences. The researchers are inviting volunteers to interview them about their current ways to choose the items you work on in order to understand the factors that might influence such a decision.
    • dewiki considered, but rejected the introduction of local short descriptions to replace those from Wikidata
    • User:Nikki/LexemeEntitySuggester.js was improved to now
      • automatically suggests the existing senses/forms when using demonstrates sense/form
      • automatically suggests items (based on the lemma matching the label or an alias) when using item for this sense
      • and searches for lemmas exactly matching the input when using synonym, antonym, hyperonym or pertainym
  • Development
    • Italian Wikiversity used Lua on their Recent Changes SpecialPage via overwriting a MediaWiki message. Our code used to not expect that, now it does. (phab:T283240)
    • Updating the panel that tracks Wikidata edits over time in different namespaces to include all namespaces (phab:T281356)
    • Working on adding a new constraints type for Lexemes (phab:T200689)
    • Working on designs for improving Special:NewLexeme
    • Working on designs for the system to find mismatches between Wikidata's data and other databases
    • Fixing some malformed globe-coordinate precisions in the database (phab:T283576)

    • Working on no longer using the Query Service to evaluate Constraints Checks regular expressions (this should make our checks faster and allow for further improvements) (phab:T176312)
    • Changing the rate limits for assigning Item IDs further, which should result in even fewer Q-IDs being skipped in the future (phab:T284538)
    • Finalizing the concepts for a tool to help work on mismatches between Wikidata's data and other databases/websites/...
