Wikidata weekly summary #276

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • New admin: congrats to علاء
    • Open Library, the biggest resource of freely-licensed books, now links to Wikidata (through Reasonator) and to VIAF (example here; see "Wikidata" in the right-hand column).
    • With 200 attendees, the WikidataCon is now complete. Thanks all for your enthusiasm \o/ If you registered on the waitlist or submitted a talk, check your mailbox for more information.
    • The WikidataCon program will be released this week, and we will call for volunteers soon
  • Development
    • Looked into all the things necessary to make it possible to store forms and senses on Lexeme pages.
    • Worked more on caching constraints checks results which is needed to enable constraints checks for all logged-in users (phabricator:T173696)
    • Making progress on checking constraints also on qualifiers and references (phabricator:T168532)
    • Removed language fallback hints for dialects to make the UI less cluttered for them and make it less necessary to enter labels and descriptions for them (phabricator:T174318)
    • Fixed an issue that links to an item were not showing the label when it pointed to a redirect (phabricator:T96553)
    • Unrecognized input in entity selectors will be highlighted in red (phabricator:T170531)
    • Added language code fr-ca for monolingual text input (phabricator:T151186)
    • Added an additional normalization for page titles when linking pages on Wiktionary via Cognate (phabricator:T172987)
    • The API will not only output the hashes for qualifier snaks, but also for main snaks as well as references snaks (phabricator:T174692). Note that hashes (other than IDs) are not meant to be stable identifiers, and should not be stored for a longer time.
