Wikidata report
Wikidata this month
Daniel Mietchen & Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing)
By Tech developments
- A major step forward with the introduction of measurements for properties (for example for the height and width of paintings) happened in early September, but is worth reporting ASAP
- Arbitrary access is now available on most Wikipedias, with another batch (including the largest, the English Wikipedia) due on 16 September.
- Wikidata has been optimized for viewing on mobile devices. You will be redirected to m.wikidata.org automatically when using a mobile device soon the same way it already happens on Wikipedia. (Editing will only be possible via the special pages!)
