This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2013-02-08.

Development [edit]

Deployment of the first parts of phase 2 (infoboxes/statements) on wikidata.org done - see it live for example here, here and here
Diffs for statement edits can now be shown
Started work on query definitions
Edit links are now disabled in the interface when the user does not have the rights to edit
Edit links are now hidden when viewing old revision
Worked on search field for WikibaseSolr
More work on Lua templates for Wikibase entities
Worked on bugfixes in the statement user interface
New features in the statement user interface (references counter/heading)
JavaScript editing for table showing labels and description of the same item in different languages
Repaired and updated the demo system
Resumed work on Linked Data interface
Support for enhanced recent changes format in client
There are automatic comments for statement edits as well in the history now
Special page for unconnected pages, that is pages on the client that are not connected to items on the repository
Added permission checks for statements, so a user that can not edit will not be able to edit or that only a group can be allowed to do some changes like creating statements

See current sprint items for what we’re working on next.

Discussions/Press [edit]

Signpost
Lots of discussions about the usage details and policies of phase 2 on d:Wikidata:Project chat

Deployment of phase 1 (language links) on the English language Wikipedia is still planned for Monday late evening UTC (pending a performance review)
List of existing properties and their usage
List of new proposed properties

d:User:PinkAmpersand is looking for someone to write a script that once someone has been made an autopatroller, retroactively patrols all of their prior edits
d:Wikidata:Press coverage could use some love and care
Hack on one of these

Anything to add? Please share! :)
