This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2012-08-17.
Development
[edit]- Installed a lot of extensions on the demo system. Let us know if any important ones are missing.
- Going to old versions and undoing changes works as expected
- The history and recent changes show useable comments now
- The Universal Language Selector is installed on the demo and replaces the Stick to that Language extension
- Updated Wikibase client code for fetching and displaying links from a shared (with the repo) database table, and optionally overriding them with interwiki links from local wikitext.
- Improved internationalization messages
- Added selenium tests for undo, rollback, restore, diffs, old revisions, history and a few more
- Setup MAC to be part of our selenium grid testing environment
- Fixed many little bugs in the UI, including cross browser issues
- Improved modularity of client side caching and generalized it to work with any type of entity rather than just items.
- Wrote up interfaces for snaks, statements and related stuff for the second phase of Wikidata
See current sprint items for what we’re working on next.
You can follow Template:Wdchanges and view the subset Template:Wdreview.
