Development edit

  • We continued to make improvements to the Query builder. We worked on adding a footer to the Query Builder (phab:T268643) and showing all relevant columns in the query result (phab:T277646) as well as querying for dates (phab:T272697)
  • Fixed a bug where Item pages scrolls back to "In more languages" block after every change of DOM (phab:T277999, being deployed to Wikidata later this week)
  • Continued working on a new grafana graph to track editor numbers split by namespace (phab:T275999)
  • Finished a small tool to get the ORES quality score for a list of Items. Waiting for deployment to toolforge for broader use now.
