This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2015-08-08.

Discussions edit

Events/Press/Blogs edit

Talk pages on Wikidata can now be converted to use Flow. You can request migrating your talk page at d:Wikidata:Flow.
Mix-n-Match got a bunch of new catalogs for you to match up with Wikidata. Currently matching is happening at about 500 items per day. Pretty sweet :)
@happybirthdayauthors is a new Twitter account posting reading suggestions based on Wikidata data.
Arbitrary access is rolling out to a large number of wikis over the next two weeks.
Duplicity can help you match up unlinked Wikipedia articles to a Wikidata item.

Made some small changes to the style of the edit warning and sitelinks so they are easier to notice and understand
Added error messages for Special:GoToLinkedPage and Special:ItemByTitle so you get a useful message in case no result is found
The Entity Selector now displays alias in brackets behind label
The number of entities loaded via the {{#property:…}} parser function and via Lua will be reported in the “Parser profiling data” (which can be found below a page preview or within the Html of a page)
Prepared for next rounds of arbitrary access rollout
Investigated growing lag of dispatching of changes to Wikipedia and co. We'll need to investigate further and change things so the lag between an edit on Wikidata and it being send to the Wikipedias and other projects is not too high.
Added the property ID to Special:ListProperties
Moved two extensions (Wikidata.org and WikimediaBadges) from Github to Gerrit. More will follow.
We'd like to drop a database table. Discussion is ongoing.

You can see all open bugs related to Wikidata here.

Anything to add? Please share! :)
