Tech developments
- The API response for maxlag will in the future also include the dispatch lag (phab:T194950)
- You can now search for values of a statement in Special:Search (P31, external-ids and strings)
- You can now use global preferences on most wikis. This means you can set preferences for all wikis at the same time. Before this you had to change them on each individual wiki.
- Country geoshape data have been added to Commons and linked to the corresponding Wikidata items. These geoshapes can be used to visualise query results e.g. World map showing population of each country.
- New constraint type: citation needed constraint
- Magnus Manske released a new interface for QuickStatements V2. Among other changes, it now includes links to EditGroups, a tool that allows people to discuss or revert batch edits
- We include Wikibase dispatch lag in API "maxlag" enforcing (phab:T194950) - this will affect bot and tool operators
- We now show a map on items with coordinates (phab:T184933)
- A new property scope constraint to specifies whether a property should be used on main snak qualifiers or references (phab:T197473)
