This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2012-09-21.
Development
[edit]- Met with a group of database experts from different projects to get input for phase 2 of Wikidata
- Updated demo system (the corresponding git tag is c2425396f765ee77c990fd4b235c3d8d9f569018)
- Selenium Tests for Edit Conflicts
- Bugfix for weird behaviour of NOEXTERNALINTERLANG magic word
- Bugfix for updating language links on client (they were not updated when the connecting link got removed or changed)
- Windows support for pollForChanges-Script
- New special page Special:CreateProperty for creating property entities
- Property entities can be displayed now, editing them does not yet work
- The API is generalized to handle additional entities
- Created initial DataType implementation
- Created store for the client
- Improved and extended store for the repository
- Started on initial DataValue implementation
- Wrote tests for client
- Fixed localization bugs
- Special:ItemDisambiguation page now automatically populates the language field
- Created a central place for associating entity content models with namespaces
- Created functions for checking whether a given namespace is an entity namespace and whether a given content model is an entity model
- Worked to make Items work in the main namespace, removed assumptions about the content model of the main namespace in several places
See current sprint items for what we’re working on next.
