Merhaba Anerka ve @Dr. Coal, nasılsınız, umarım herşey yolundadır. Daha önceden yaptığınız bir değerlendirme için tekrardan bir gözden geçirme yapabilir misiniz diye size sormak amacıyla size yazıyorum. Kullanıcının son BL'den çıkarılması üzerinden 1 yıl kadar bir süre geçmiş ve değişikliklerine sık rastlayan bir devriye olarak olumlu değişiklik örüntüsüne geri dönülmüş gibi göründüğünü söyleyebilirim.

Sub-referencing: News and request for feedback

Greetings from WMDE's Technical Wishes team. Today we've deployed sub-referencing to German Wikipedia, our first pilot wiki. A great milestone after so many years of work!

We'll continue to improve the feature based on community feedback and want to deploy to other pilot wikis in the upcoming months, once we've solved a couple of issues affecting many non-dewiki projects. You are invited to try sub-referencing on betawiki in the meantime.

We are currently thinking about how we could improve VisualEditor support for templates in sub-references if that's desired by the community. Read more about it on our talk page and share your feedback!

As always thank you very much for your support!

PS: You are receiving this message, because you signed-up to our sub-referencing newsletter. If you don't want to receive further updates, just remove your name from the list.

Sureyyahoca38 adlı kullanıcıdan soru (12.35, 2 Ekim 2025)

Wikipediaya sayfa eklerken sorun yaşıyorum. --Sureyyahoca38 (mesaj) 12.35, 2 Ekim 2025 (UTC)

@Sureyyahoca38 sorunu iletmemişsin? --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 19.31, 5 Ocak 2026 (UTC)

Ah, pardon aşağıda konuşmuşuz @Sureyyahoca38 --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 19.31, 5 Ocak 2026 (UTC)

Phdyapmamlazım adlı kullanıcıdan soru (23.02, 3 Ekim 2025)

Hocam merhabalar, bir konuda fikrinizi almak istedim. Hâli hazırda çok kötü durumda olan bir viki sayfasında (https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Rogan) düzenleme yapmıştım zamanında. Tam tarih şu hatta: 23.02, 22 Kasım 2023.

Fakat düzenlenme şu sebeple onaylanmadı: +Nedensiz silinmiş içerik +Kaynak göstermeyi zorunlu kılan bilgi.

Ben bu viki sayfasına baktığımda zaten çok basit bir dil ve özensizlik görüyorum. Halbuki dünyada en çok dinlenen podcastci bu kişi. Benim yaptığım düzenlemedeki bariz hata nedir? Eğer tek eksik bir linkse onu düzenleyip kabul etmek daha mantıklı olan değil mi?

Teşekkürler ve selamlar. --Phdyapmamlazım (mesaj) 23.02, 3 Ekim 2025 (UTC)

@Phdyapmamlazım selamlar,

Bariz hata şunlar:

1. "Dünyanın en çok dinlenen" gibi bir ibare, övgü de içerse yergi de içerse güvenilir ve bağımsız kaynaklar olmadan eklenemez. Bu tip ibareler karalama ya da reklam amaçlı olup ansiklopedik üsluba aykırıdır. Sadece alanında yetkin biri tarafından ifade edildiği belgelenmiş ya da sayısal olarak ölçülmüş vb. bir kanıta dayandırılabiliyorsa buna uygun olarak eklenebilirler.
2. Eklenen bilgilerin yukarıdaki şekilde kaynaklandırılması uygundur.

İyi vikiler. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 19.36, 5 Ocak 2026 (UTC)

Sureyyahoca38 adlı kullanıcıdan soru (17.48, 4 Ekim 2025)

Merhaba sayın yetkili, Ben 1999 yılımdan başlayarak Persek kelimesi hakkında bir araştırmaya başladım.Elde ettiğim bilgileri derleyip bloger sayfasında yayınladım.O bilgilerin aynısını wikipediaya ekledim.Fakat bana uyarı mesajı geldi.Yazımda telif hakları ihlali olduğu söylendi.Bu çalışmayı ben hazırladım faydalandığım kaynakları da yazımda belirttim.Telif hakkı ihlali bir konu olmadığını düşünüyorum. Bu konuda yardımcı olursanız memnun olurum. Saygılarımla. --Sureyyahoca38 (mesaj) 17.48, 4 Ekim 2025 (UTC)

@Sureyyahoca38 merhaba,

Yazı size ait olsa dahi ilk yayınlandığı sitede telif hakları saklıdır ibaresi mevcutsa burada yayınlanmasının önünde engeldir. Buna ek olarak bloglar gibi siteler güvenilir kaynak kabul edilmemekte.

İyi vikiler dilerim. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 09.24, 27 Aralık 2025 (UTC)

Sercanyetik adlı kullanıcıdan soru (21.00, 12 Kasım 2025)

Köyüm hakkında bilgileri eklememe rağmen iptal ediliyor nedenini öğrenebilir miyim? Yeniyim öğrenmeye açığım. --Sercanyetik (mesaj) 21.00, 12 Kasım 2025 (UTC)

@Sercanyetik selamlar,

Öncelikle hoşgeldin. Bir süredir buralarda değildim ancak yazabiliyorum.

Vikipedi'ye eklediğimiz bilgilerin doğrulanabilirliği önemli ve bu doğrulanabilirlikle kast ettiğimiz bildiklerinin doğru olması değil kaynaklarda işlenmiş olması.

Ansiklopediler sözlü tarihten ziyade yazıya dökülmüş ya da belgelenmiş tarihi baz alarak yazılabiliyor bu nedenle doğru da olsa bu bilgileri yazılı ve güvenilir sayılan kaynaklarla teyit edilebilecek şekilde aktarman gerekli.

İyi vikiler! --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 09.28, 27 Aralık 2025 (UTC)

Deniz ozyurt adlı kullanıcıdan Aziz Baylar hakkında soru (14.47, 26 Kasım 2025)

Merhaba, Aziz Baylar için bir Wikipedia biyografi sayfası oluşturmak istiyoruz. Sayfa içeriğinin Wikipedia standartlarına uygun, tarafsız ve güvenilir kaynaklarla desteklenmiş olmasını sağlamamız gerekiyor. Bu süreçte aşağıdaki konularda yardıma ihtiyacımız var:

1. Sayfa Başlığı: Sayfa, gerçek ismi olan ‘Aziz Baylar’ şeklinde açılmalı.

2. Tarafsız ve doğrulanabilir içerik: Yazılacak bilgiler üçüncü kişi ağzıyla, ansiklopedik bir tarzda olmalı.

3. Kaynak zorunluluğu: Haber sitesi, dergi, röportaj, yerel basın veya resmi kurum/okul duyurusu gibi güvenilir kaynaklarla desteklenmeli.

4. Vikilink (iç bağlantı) kullanımı: Metinde Rize, Çamlıhemşin, Valencia, Erasmus Programı gibi uygun iç bağlantılar eklenmeli.

5. Kaynakça formatı: Wikipedia standart <ref> kaynak gösterme sistemi kullanılmalı.

6. Alıntı kutusu: Künye veya basın alıntısı eklenmeli, örnek format:

“	Insert the text of the quote here, without quotation marks.	„

7. Sayfanın silinmemesi için kriterler: Reklam veya tanıtım görünümünden kaçınılmalı, metin tamamen ansiklopedik olmalı.

Bu maddeleri doğru şekilde uygulayarak, Aziz Baylar için profesyonel bir Wikipedia biyografi sayfası oluşturmak istiyoruz. Yardımcı olabilir misiniz?” --Deniz ozyurt (mesaj) 14.47, 26 Kasım 2025 (UTC)

@Deniz ozyurt merhaba,

Yapay zeka desteği almaya çalışmış gibi görünüyorsunuz ancak AI ile oluşturulan içeriklerin sıklıkla bu standartları karşılamadığını, Vikipedistlerin kendi araştırmalarını yaparak sonuçları doğruladığını iletmem gerekli.

Kişi kriterlerimizi karşılıyorsa elbet kendisinden bahsedilen bir sayfa açılacaktır.

İyi günler. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 09.31, 27 Aralık 2025 (UTC)

İSA OKAN DURAK adlı kullanıcıdan soru (12.57, 4 Ocak 2026)

Merhaba, kolay gelsin.

1. Yapılan değişiklikler ya da eklemeler kontrolden geçiyor mu?

2. Klasik soru: Tavsiyeleriniz nelerdir? :) --İSA OKAN DURAK (mesaj) 12.57, 4 Ocak 2026 (UTC)

@İSA OKAN DURAK selamlar,

Başka vikipedistler diğerlerinin değişikliklerini açıp bakıyor ya da gözden geçiriyor diyelim. Ancak bu gözden geçirmeler bir iş gibi değil gönüllülük esaslı.

Öncelikle ufak imla düzeltmeleri vb. değişiklikler iyi olabilir. Zamanla, iyi maddeler yazma isteğin varsa VP:Seçkin içerik bağlantısındakilere göz atabilirsin. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 19.44, 5 Ocak 2026 (UTC)

Sub-referencing: Update

Sub-referencing example

Greetings from WMDE Technical Wishes! In September 2025 we deployed sub-referencing to German Wikipedia to make re-using references with different details easier. Thanks for piloting and helping to improve the feature!

We recently published our insights and next steps in our report. Some highlights:

• Over 6,000 Wikipedia articles use the new feature, with a total of over 15,000 sub-references created to date.
• There are both experienced editors in featured articles (e.g. de:Explosion des Oppauer Stickstoffwerkes) and relatively inexperienced VisualEditor users (e.g. in de:Schmerzhafte Muttergottes (Guido Cagnacci)) using the feature. The majority of all sub-references (approx. 90%) are created in wikitext, yet over 300 editors have used the function in VisualEditor alone.
• Workarounds like <ref name="Miller" /><sup>p. 44</sup> (in the reader view ^{[1] p. 44}) have been replaced entirely by sub-referencing, which means that the complete reference information – including the page number – is now visible in both the reference list and in Reference Previews.
• Sub-referencing is used with lots of different citation details – predominantly page numbers, but also details such as chapters, paragraphs, quotes or video / audio timestamps.

What has happened since September?

• We ensured that re-used sub-references actually appear as re-used in the reader view and in VisualEditor.
• We've made some cosmetic changes to the reference list: Initially, multi-line sub-references (e.g. quotations) were not displayed ideally, and two-digit sub-reference numbers were not indented correctly.
• In VisualEditor, we have provided a feature to choose whether changes to re-used sub-references should affect all uses of the same sub-reference or only the one currently edited.

What's next?

• We will deploy sub-referencing to additional pilot wikis next week: Polish Wikipedia, Swedish Wikipdia and seven smaller wikis (phab:T414094). All of these projects have been notified in advance.
• We are working on technical adjustments to make sub-referencing usable in all wikis that use variants of the {{Reflist}} template.
• We are continuing to address community feedback: Among other things, we are currently exploring various ideas for visually improving reference lists with lots sub-references (e.g. de:Liste der Straßen in Bad Honnef#Einzelnachweise und Anmerkungen).
• In addition to sub-referencing, we are looking at other reference-related improvements: We are considering general improvements to Reference Previews or solving issues with automatically created reference names in VisualEditor – there will be announcements and community consultations on this in the near future.

More information about sub-referencing on our project page, more about our learnings and next steps in our report. All the best from WMDE Technical Wishes!

Wikidata weekly summary #721

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata in the
week leading up to 2026-03-02. Missed the previous one? See issue #720.

Discussions

• Closed request for adminship: Jan Myšák: Closed as successful, congratulations to Wikidata's newest admin!
• New request for comments: Notability Policy - Round 2: we are still requesting your input on the new Notablity policy. Including whether to elevate the self-promotion essay to a policy.

Events

• Upcoming events:
  • Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group session 3 March, 2026: We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, March 3 9am PT / 12pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 6pm CET (Time zone converter). Wikiproject P244 maintenance uses SPARQL queries to identify and resolve two types of constraint violations in Wikidata: instances of Wikidata items with more than one LCNAF identifier and instances of the same LCNAF identifier existing on more than one Wikidata item. The February 17th session walked participants through how to resolve the former issue, while the March 3rd session will focus on the latter. This session will be more discussion-focused, since instances where two LCNAF identifier have the same Wikidata item can be difficult to resolve because of Wikidata’s innate quirks. Maybe your ideas will become the official best practice!

Selam! Ben bağımsız bir oyun geliştiricisiyim. Oyunlarım hakkında bilgilerin Wikipedia'da çıkmasını sağlayabilir miyim? --İzzet177 (mesaj) 20.29, 7 Mart 2026 (UTC)

@İzzet177 merhaba,

Vikipedi reklam yapmak için uygun bir yer değildir. Oyunların buradaki kriterleri karşılamadığı sürece Vikipedi'de yer alma eşiğini geçmemiş kabul edilir. Bu durum madde konusu (burada oyunların) ve kalitesi hakkında bir yargı anlamını taşımamaktadır. Ancak eşik topluluk tarafından belirlendiğinden maddesini açsan dahi silinecektir.

İyi günler dilerim. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 17.07, 8 Mart 2026 (UTC)

MAliCengiz adlı kullanıcıdan soru (09.05, 20 Mart 2026)

Paylaşım yaparken çeşitli kaynak sunmak iyi midir? --MAliCengiz (mesaj) 09.05, 20 Mart 2026 (UTC)

@MAliCengiz selamlar,

Bir sayfa oluştururken güvenilir ve bağımsız olmaları koşulu ile çeşitli kaynaklar kullanmak tabii ki istenen bir şey. Ancak kaynakların içeriğe katkı sağlaması gerekli, yani aşırı kaynaklandırma bir sayfanın kayda değerliğini sağlamaz. :)

Örneğin bir bilgi verdin, bu bilginin ardında bir kaynak ya da bilginin yazılışına göre iki kaynak yeterli olacaktır. Tek bir bilgi için 4-5 kaynağı ard arda sıralamaya da gerek yok.

Güzel sayfa örnekleri için seçkin veya kaliteli maddelere bakabilirsin.

İyi vikiler. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 12.28, 20 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Süzgeç

Merhaba Anerka, uzun zaman oldu. Kategori kuklaları için bir süzgeç oluşturmuştun değil mi? Bu süzgeci kuklaların ekledikleri doğrultusunda günceller misin? Gördüğüm çok fazla değil, zamanın varsa bak yoksa tek tek listelememi ister misin? Teşekkür ederim. Tün (mesaj) 12.58, 22 Mart 2026 (UTC)

@Tün selamlar,

Seni tekrar buralarda görmek güzel. Haftasonuna ancak bakabilirim açıkçası. Ama mutlaka bakarım.

Sevgiler, iyi vikiler! --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 11.13, 24 Mart 2026 (UTC)

İlgin için teşekkür ederim. Kukla listesi yardımcı olacaktır. Selamlar. Tün (mesaj) 11.46, 4 Nisan 2026 (UTC)

Vikiçizer ile böyle bir yazışmamız oldu. Anerka, ben gerçekten şikayetçiyim, bu kişinin geri al tuşunu istismar etmesinden kaç yıldır katkı yapamıyorum, gerçekten sıkıldım. Sabit duran bir hesap yok ki şikayet açayım. Şu mesaja bakınca gayet de ne yaptığının farkında bir profil görüyorum. Bir tavsiyen var mı? Tün (mesaj) 18.45, 10 Nisan 2026 (UTC)

MAliCengiz adlı kullanıcıdan soru (06.16, 25 Mart 2026)

Hangi kaynağı daha etkili bulursunuz? Kitaplar mı? Forum sitelerini mı? Ansiklopedi mi? --MAliCengiz (mesaj) 06.16, 25 Mart 2026 (UTC)

@MAliCengiz etkili ile kastın nedir? Ona göre cevaplamak lazım bunu :) --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 20.48, 25 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Hangisini daha güçlü kaynak olarak bulursunuz yani.Pavlusçuluk başlığını genişce ekleme yaptım da , kontrol edebilecek var mı? MAliCengiz (mesaj) 06.57, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

@MAliCengiz güçlü bir kaynak demeyelim. Güvenilir ve bağımsız olması önemli kaynakların. Ve "kaynaklar" diyoruz, tek kaynakla iş yapılmaz, tek bir yönden bakılması da uygun değildir vikide.

Kitaplar (yazarının konuyla ilgili yetkinliği varsa) ve ansiklopediler uygun kaynaklarken forum siteleri kabul edilmez çünkü buradaki bilgileri kimin eklediği belli değildir. Vikipedi'nin kendisi de güvenilir kaynak değildir. Burada yazan bilgilerin de bilginin alındığı ifade edilen kaynağa gidilip bakılarak teyit edilmesi ve başka bir maddede kullanılacaksa bu alınan kaynak gösterilip kullanılması gerekir. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 19.55, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Otobiyografi gerekçesiyle silinen madde için inceleme talebi.

Merhaba Sayın Anerka, Wikipedia kuralları çerçevesinde oluşturduğum [[İlksen Jöntürk]] maddesi, şu an bir editör tarafından 'kayda değerlik' ve 'otobiyografi' gerekçesiyle hızlı silinmeye aday gösterildi.

Wikipedia kurallarına göre çıkar çatışması (COI) durumlarında dikkatli olunması gerektiğini biliyorum. Bununla birlikte, bildiğim kadarıyla bir kişi, bunu açıkça belirttiği ve içeriği tamamen tarafsız, doğrulanabilir ve güvenilir bağımsız kaynaklara dayandırdığı sürece kendi hakkında madde oluşturabilir bu yüzden hesabımı açarken kendi adımı kullandım.

Maddeyi oluştururken 'Kayda Değerlik' (VP:KD) kriterlerini karşıladığını düşündüğüm ulusal ve bağımsız gazetelerin basılı ve dijital nüsha kaynakları ile destekledim. Hürriyet (dijital), Basılı nüsha ve aynı zamanda dijitalde olan gazete kaynakları ise (İstiklal ve İstanbul Gazeteleri) maddede mevcuttur. Tarafsız bir dil kullanarak hazırladım. Amacım tanıtım yapmak değil, doğrulanabilir bilgileri düzenli bir şekilde sunmaktı.

Eğer içerikte taraflı, promosyonel ya da uygun olmayan gördüğünüz kısımlar varsa belirtirseniz memnuniyetle düzeltirim.Kendi adımla hesap açarak topluluğun dürüstlük prensibinize uyduğumu ve tamamen tarafsız bir dil kullandığımı düşünmekteyim. Maddenin hızlı silinmesi yerine, tarafsız bir gözle incelenmesini rica ederim. Saygılarımla. ~~~~ Ilksenjonturk (mesaj) 19.51, 25 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Ahmetyıldıgzx adlı kullanıcıdan soru (13.07, 28 Mart 2026)

Deneme tahtamdaki yazıyı nasıl ana bölüme alabilirim deneme tahtasından nasıl çıkarırım --Ahmetyıldıgzx (mesaj) 13.07, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Selamlar @Ahmetyıldıgzx,

Sayfanın üzerindeki taşı butonuna basıp yönlendirmeleri takip edebilirsin. Şu an göremiyorsan bile bir süre sonra görebileceksin çünkü taşıma yetkisi bir süre ve değişiklik sayısı sonunda otomatik geliyor.

Bununla birlikte, maalesef oluşturduğun taslağın konusu buradaki kriterlerimizi karşılamıyor ve bu eşiği geçmeyen konuları siliyoruz. Bu nedenle silme işlemi uygulayacağım. Başka maddeler oluştururken harcadığın emeğin karşılığını görebilmen açısından kriterleri okuyup da konu seçmen iyi olacaktır.

İyi vikiler. :) --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 19.59, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Sayın Anerka, madde içeriğinde 13 farklı bağımsız haber kaynağı referans gösterilmiştir. Bu kaynaklar yerel demokrasi ve gençlik hakları üzerine yapılan somut çalışmaları kanıtlamaktadır. Silme işleminin tekrar değerlendirilmesini rica ederim. Ahmetyıldıgzx (mesaj) 20.10, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

@Ahmetyıldıgzx öncelikle 5 adetti, ama kaynakların işlediği şey sadece yaşına vurguydu. Derinlemesine ve yanısıra zamana yayılı kaynaklar gerekli. İleride VP:KD politikasındaki eşiği geçerse tabii ki açılabilir ancak şu an bu eşikte değil ne yazık ki. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 20.31, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

13 tane kaynak var kendisi Antalyada tanınan bi kamu figürü hakkında googleda bilgi paneli bulunmaktadır Ahmetyıldıgzx (mesaj) 20.46, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Ah, pardon. Ben oluşturduğun maddeye bakmışım doğrudan, onu değerlendirdim, sildim.

Diğerine de bakayım birazdan. :) --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 21.16, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

@Ahmetyıldıgzx madde konusu aynı, kaynaklar da benzer minvalde. Kriterleri karşılamıyor ne yazık ki. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 21.21, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Peki hangi şartlar gerekiyor kayda değerlik için ona göre yapalım Ahmetyıldıgzx (mesaj) 21.44, 28 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Erkin Giray adlı kullanıcıdan soru (18.07, 29 Mart 2026)

Esenlikler, Vikipedi Türkçe sayfalarında (bet ya da yaprak) kullanılan yabancı kökenli sözcükleri Türkçe karşılıkları ile değiştirmek istiyorum. Değişikliklerin onaylanıp yayımlanması ne kadar sürer acaba? --Erkin Giray (mesaj) 18.07, 29 Mart 2026 (UTC)

@Erkin Giray merhaba,

Vikipedi'de sistematik değişiklikler için topluluk tartışması ve onayı gerekir. Örneğin tüm sayfalara gidip site genelinde sayfa olarak kullandığımız sözcüğü bet ya da yaprak olarak değiştirmek uygun değil :)

Ek olarak yabancı kökenli sözcükler gündelik olarak Türkçe'de kullanılır hale geldiyse okuyucunun konuyu anlaması için bazen daha doğru olabiliyorlar.

İyi vikiler. --anerka^{'ya söyleyin} 18.27, 29 Mart 2026 (UTC)

Dear all,

The first CEE Newsletter issue of 2026 is now live, and we are happy to share it with you.

You will find highlights from community activities, updates from the CEE Hub, international news, and a wide range of contributions from across the region. It is a good snapshot of what we have been working on together at the start of the year.

As always, thank you to everyone who contributed -- by writing, sharing updates, or supporting behind the scenes.

You may be an eligible candidate for the U4C election

Greetings,

The Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C) seeks candidates for the 2026 election. The U4C is the global committee responsible for overseeing enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct. Elections are held annually, if elected a committee member serves for two years.

This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates. You can find more information in the call for candidates on Meta-wiki. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.

The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will be a week in between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in SecurePoll, successful candidates must receive at least 60% support. More information is available on the 2026 Elections page, including timelines and other candidacy information. If you read over the material and consider yourself qualified, please consider submitting your name to run for the committee. If you think someone else in your community might be interested and qualified, please encourage them to run.

Ama şuan vikipedi'nin işleyişini ve kayda değerlik ölçütlerini çok iyi biliyorum. Katkılara bu şekilde yapıcı olarak devam etmek istiyorum ve devriyelere ek yük olmamak için rica etsem beni beyaz listeye alabilir misiniz şimdiden Teşekkürler.

Development

• Ontology federation: The development team is looking for people to give feedback on the new feature that allows editors on other Wikibase instances to use Wikidata's Items as statement values. (more details)
• GraphQL:
  • We extended the searchItems field so that developers can now get all Item data immediately from the search results (phab:T416885)
  • We are working on the ability to get only best ranked statements (phab:T428138)
• MCP: The Wikidata MCP has been extended. You can now also use an MCP for other Wikibase instances. (more details)
• Wikibase Cloud: We are looking into making it possible to log into Wikibase Cloud instances with your Wikidata account to make it easier for Wikimedians to contribute on Cloud instances.
• Wikidata integration in the other Wikimedia projects:
  • We are planning the migration of the entity usage table to a new database cluster to handle increased usage of Wikidata's data across the Wikimedia projects.
  • We are continuing our work to decrease the number of irrelevant changes coming from Wikidata that show up in Wikipedia's recent changes and watchlist. Specifically we are evaluating a prototype that looks at the rendered article before and after the change and determines if anything actually changed in the article before adding an entry to recent changes and watchlist.
• Mobile editing of statements:
  • We are improving support for RTL languages.(phab:T360854, phab:T427655, phab:T427658, phab:T427661, phab:T428246)
  • We started fixing multiple UI layout and spacing issues, including mandatory fields, value fields, snak types, references, and add-statement button usability (phab:T428766, phab:T428761, phab:T428759, phab:T428450)
  • We are improving the server-side rendering (phab:T409827)
