Development

• Wikibase REST API:
  • We released the following new stuff to Wikidata:
    • GET /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements (phab:T339356) (new route)
    • GET /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements/{statement_id} (phab:T338383) (new route)
    • GET /statements/{statement_id} (now supports statements on Properties)
  • We started work on a new route for replacing the data of a statement on a Property (phab:T340006)
• EntitySchemas:
  • We worked on improving the termbox (the table of labels, descriptions and aliases) on EntitySchema pages to bring it more in line with the one on Items and Properties
  • We made sure that EntitySchemas are shown by their label instead of ID when available in Recent Changes and similar lists (phab:T339924)
• Mismatch Finder: We added a language selector so you can switch the interface language (phab:T328149)
• mul language code: We are working on showing more labels from fallback languags in the termbox (phab:T340832, phab:T338330)
