Biweekly team meeting

What we have worked on

André
What did you work on?

• One more pass on Wikidata-MonumentsDB patch - should be ready to go. Should be final piece to get harvest running. In the new system the DB can choose between Wikipedia data and sparql on Wikidata. Seems to work on NL. This gives countries using Wikidata directly (and thus not having lists) the same services (categorisation, API) that we do for the data coming from the Wikipedia-based lists
  • One example of list being served from Wikidata: https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Projekt_naturgeografi/WLE/Naturreservat_i_%C3%96sterg%C3%B6tlands_l%C3%A4n
• WLM support for Finland. Worked with WMFI, to get WLM running for them.
• So far, SE, NO have been migrated to Wikidata, some 5 more countries have base code.

What will you be working on?

• Get the patch merged (into the Wikidata branch)
• Identify any follow-up issues blocking deployment/merge into master
