Discussions/Press edit

We have a time scheduled when Wikidata will be read-only for a database migration. The window for that is Feb 20 19:00 to Feb 21 2:00 UTC.
New features and bugfixes on Wikidata are planned to be deployed on Monday (Feb 18). This should among other things include:
- Showing useful diffs for edits of claims (they’re currently empty)
- Automatic comments for editing of claims (there are currently none)
- Ability to add items to claims by their ID
- Better handling of deleted properties
- More results in the entity selector (that’s the thing that lets you select properties, items and so on) so you can add everything and not just the first few matches that are shown
We’re still working on the issue that sometimes editing of certain parts of items or properties isn’t possible. If you’re running into it try to reload the page and/or change the URL to the www. version or the non-www. version respectively.
Deployment on all other Wikipedias is currently planned for March 6 (a note to the Village Pumps of all affected projects will follow soon)
