Wikidata:Status updates/2012 09 28

This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2012-09-28.

Development edit

  • Updated demo system
  • Added per-language uniqueness restriction for property labels (You can only have one property with a given name in a language. For items this applies for the combination of label and description.)
  • Tests for noexternallanglinks, CreateProperty, PropertyView
  • Finished base of DataTypes and DataValues extensions
  • Added resource module for loading site information
  • Improved change handling on the client, including when items are deleted and inserting changes that affect the client wiki in the client’s recent changes (still rough)
  • New "List all datatypes" Special page
  • Finished property view. Property entities can be edited now
  • Changes to some of the containing structures in the API, items to entities and item to entity
  • Change to token handling (gettoken has died in flames, use edit token from action=tokens instead)
  • Some cleanup for the security audit
  • Worked on encapsulating auto completion widget from EditableValue.autocompleteInterface
  • Started work on supporting access to remote wikis via the ORMTable class
  • Discussion and fixes regarding transaction logic in core
  • Made a git branch for the first deployment that is currently being reviewed by WMF (current review status)
  • Test coverage for Wikibase and its extensions is now recorded and visible online
