    • Images near items - helps to find Wikimedia Commons images near Wikidata items without image. It can load a category tree of Commons images with coodrinates, and then find Wikidata items of a certain P31 with coordinates but without images. Then, it will try to find nearby (<50 meters) pairs. (example link for UK red phone booths)
  • Development
    • EntitySchemas: We expanded the new datatype that is in testing. When a statement links to an EntitySchema it will now show its label when available (phab:T338613). We are also working on showing them by their label in recent changes and similar places (phab:T214885).
    • mul language code: we are working on improving the termbox to integrate this new language code better (phab:T340644)
    • Mismatch Finder: We are working on adding a language selector to it so you can switch the language of the tool (phab:T328149)
    • Wikibase REST API: We completed two new endpoint for the Wikibase REST API:
      • Retrieve all statements from a Property - /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements
      • Retrieve a single statement from a Property - /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements/{statement_id}
      • You can also retrieve a single statement from a Property from the existing /statements/{statement_id} endpoint

Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.
