* Development
** Deployed new code on wikidata.org. All changes can be found [https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FWikibase.git;a=shortlog;h=refs%2Fheads%2Fmw1.21-wmf6 here]
** Updated [http://wikidata-test.wikimedia.de demo system]
** http://test2.wikipedia.org now uses http://wikidata.org for getting language links and wikidata.org edits affecting the existing articles on test2 show up in RecentChanges (if they are not hidden)
** Statements (think of “population: 2.000.000” and similar things) are taking shape in the interface. They are still pretty buggy though at this point.
** It is now possible to link to images on Wikimedia Commons in a statement (think of “image: sundown_at_the_beach.png” for example)
** Links are now protocol-relative ([[bugzilla:42534]])
** No longer possible to create new items and set labels when database is set to read-only
** Added more tests to the GeoCoordinate parser
** Make use of EditEntity in removeclaims API
** Removed many singletons to reduce global state
** Made SpecialSetLabel work with non-item entities
** Improved settings system
** Improved options of ValueFormatters
** Improved options of ValueParsers
** Moved label+description uniqueness check out of transaction to avoid deadlocks and changed it to only be enforced for edits changing any violating values
** Fixed serialization of SiteArray
** ~=[,,_,,]:3
** Had to fix reporting of aliases in wbsearchentities again
** Implemented integration of baserevids for statements UI API calls for editconflict detection for statements/claims/snaks
** Universal Language Selector fallback fix for Selenium tests
** Report URL to entity in wbsearchentites API module
** Moved the demo system to a larger server
** Fixed several bugs in Statements user interface, most notably, adding Statements to existing sections and layout fixes
** Added wikibase API module on the client to provide information about the associated repo (e.g. url, script path, article path)
** A bunch of messages for autocomments were fixed (they are automatically added as an edit summary for edits on items and co in Wikidata - for example: “‎Changed [en] description: Finnish rock band”)

** 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)

** Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
*** Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
*** Fixed the prev/next links in diff view ([[bugzilla:45821]])
*** [[:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel]] now lets you filter by language and entity type
** Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
** Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
** Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
** Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
** Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
** Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
** Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
** Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
** Support for multi-line references in diff view
** Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
** Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
** Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
** Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)

** When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.

** We’re currently carefully monitoring performance after the deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias. There seem to be a few small issues. As soon as they are resolved we'll deploy on English Wikipedia. All other Wikipedias are planned to follow very soon after that.
** Bye and a big thank you to Anja, Silke, Jens and John who are leaving the development team at the end of the month and will work on other cool things. You’ll be missed!
** Ever had any doubt about the possibilities of Wikidata? Talk to [//toolserver.org/~magnus/thetalkpage/ Wiri]!
** We worked on reducing the time it takes for Wikidata edits to show up in the Wikipedias and made some progress. Daniel posted an [//lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata-l/2013-March/001940.html analysis]
** We started running a script on the database in order to make search on Wikidata case-insensitive. This should be finished in a few days and then search should be more useful.
** In addition to the above we have rolled out a new search box that suggests items. This should also make finding things on Wikidata a lot easier for you.
** We’re making some progress with Internet Explorer 8 support but there are a lot of issues with it (some outside our control). It’s unclear at the moment how much we can improve it still without spending an unjustified amount of time on it. You can follow the progress at [[bugzilla:44228]]
** Edits are now auto-confirmed for users with more than 50 edits and account age 4 days: [[bugzilla:46461]]
** Do you need old-style interwiki links for a sister project for example? [//toolserver.org/~legoktm/cgi-bin/wikidata/copypaste.py This] is for you
** The Wikimedia Foundation applied as a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code again. We have proposed some [[mw:GSoC|Wikidata projects]] for students to take up if the Foundation is accepted again. At least 2 other organisations that applied also propose Wikidata ideas. More details on that once we know which organisations are accepted.

** Did you file a bug report for Wikidata or did someone else do it for you? Please take a minute to check if it is still valid. (Thanks for filing it btw!)

Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on [[m:Talk:Wikidata/Status updates/2013 03 29|this discussion page]]? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. --[[:User:Lydia Pintscher (WMDE)|Lydia Pintscher (WMDE)]] ([[:User talk:Lydia Pintscher (WMDE)|talk]])

** Deployment of phase 2 on English Wikipedia is currently planned for April 8. The remaining Wikipedias are scheduled for April 10. As usual this might change if we run into problems along the way.
** There is now a [[:Special:DispatchStats|page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias]] so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.

** Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
** Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include [[m:Wikidata/Notes/Data model primer#Qualifiers|qualifiers]] and bugfixes.

Already 565,000 pairs of coordinates are now available on WikiData. Compare this to 870,000 coordinates on English Wikipedia or 1,500,000 items with [[:Property:P17]] "country", likely to have coordinates. Have a look at them on [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/172199972/map.png a map].

* Note from Lydia about the future of the weekly summaries
** I've been compiling the weekly summaries for Wikidata for the past 1.5 years. It is time to give this into the hands of a few capable community members now that I have moved on to product management. Starting next week I will not be compiling the weekly summaries anymore. I am happy to help anyone who wants to take over get up to speed of course. Please [[d:User:Lydia Pintscher (WMDE)|contact me]] if you'd like to take this over.

* <s>Development</s>Word from John
** To give this section some life, since the development team had their holidays last week meaning nothing really got done (let them have one week off at least), I'll say a few words. 2014 is a new year and thus a new start, over the last year Wikidata celebrated its first birthday which brought reflection over what Wikidata had accomplish. Therefore I want to use the start of 2014 to reflect what Wikidata can do. For my personal over view see [[:d:User:John F. Lewis/Presence|this page]]. For the summary, while it is meant to be a weekly simple update, I feel this can be used a lot more effective to put across not only what happened on Wikidata but things about Wikidata on other wikis, I am hoping to start a section over this within the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions for the summary, feel free to drop me a message at [[:m:User talk:John F. Lewis|meta]] or [[:d:User talk:John F. Lewis|Wikidata]]. Thanks.
