Development
[edit]- Anja Jentzsch joins the team
- Worked on sorting for site-links table on item pages; enhanced some code in MediaWiki core for that
- Fixed issue with aliases breaking grid layout of item pages
- Worked on fixing issues for right-to-left languages in site-links user interface
- Worked on new SpecialPage to create new items
- Two new fancy Special pages appeared: ItemDisambiguation (lets you search for all items that have a given label or alias) and ItemByTitle (gives you the ID of the item that is connected to a given Wikipedia page)
- Gave an introduction on Selenium testing to the team
- Added Selenium tests for undelete & conflicts on undeletion
- Added Selenium HowTo to meta wiki
- Part of the team participated in the bug-triage on Wednesday
- Final preparations to move site code into MediaWiki core
- Preliminary work on data value implementations
- Additional work on edit conflicts and permissions
- Updates to the input json form to wbsetitem
- Fixing some issues with failing site-links
- More than 50 aliases in one language for an item should now work (previously more than 50 failed in an ugly way due to an API limit)
- Updated demo repo and client
