Huh?

[1] — Earwig ^talk 18:12, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

...@The Earwig: While I have a reason for such an edit, I can't tell what I changed. -- ^t numbermaniac ^c 23:45, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

You changed a non-breaking space in the bot's signature to a regular space, as far as I can tell—the same kind present in my own sig. Not sure why, though. Was it causing a problem? — Earwig ^talk 00:16, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

@The Earwig: Sorry for the delay, I was busy. Anyway, it wasn't causing an issue, as far as I could tell. When I lowed the page it was behaving extremely oddly, and the beginning of pending submissions began with some completely random text without a table. I tried to go through the source to see if there was something wrong, and I think my iPad must have accidentally modified something while scrolling through the source. Sorry about that! -- ^t numbermaniac ^c 23:30, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

No worries. Thanks for the update. — Earwig ^talk 03:29, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #97

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Discussions
- Let's redesign Wikidata's interface
Reasonator
- By hovering over a wikilink you will see the first paragraph.
- The "personal settings" allow you to import your Babel info from Wikidata. This can be used to restrict the random items you will get.
- The first iteration of "on the fly" text generation for English. It works for "humans" and, is completely based on the available Wikidata information.
- You can now add labels in your language from within Reasonator. Technically oAuth is used. It now takes just one click to add a label in your language.
Did you know?
- Newest properties: IAAF ID, Lagrangian point
- Showcase items: Vesta (Q3030)
Development
- Wrote performance tests so we can track performance improvements better
- Did a code review of all gadgets that are enabled by default in Wikidata. Found and fixed a performance bottleneck.
- Work on making the interface more responsive, e. g. live preview when editing labels and updating the watchlist star when saving.
- Started refactoring and fixing issues with automatically created summaries that are, for example, created by bots via API calls.
- Fixed an issue with OAuth on Wikidata because of permissions
- Started code review of the code the student team is working on for suggestions
- Discussed updates to the data model document to be able to update it to the actual implementation
- Did a technical debt analysis and design review of Wikibase.git, with initial focus on WikibaseLib
- Got (backend) EntityStore on the way, so we can test API modules without touching the database
- Further work on TimeParsers move to the backend
Monthly Tasks
- Fix a format or content violation for the belongs to jurisdiction (P1001) property
- Hack on one of these.
- Help develop the next summary here!
- Contribute to a Showcase item
