 * ~8000 biographical items with dates in the description, but no birth/death date statements
 * Magnus says ~8% (~1.4M) of all Wikidata items do not have any site links to Wikipedia etc.; knowledge that exists exclusively on Wikidata
 * Bene* wrote a user script that adds a filter bar above the statement section and lets you filter it
 * Magnus wrote a quick user script to move identifiers into the right sidebar to show how a statement section without identifiers would look like.

 * We are going to change the way value suggestions are ranked when entering a new statement. This will help with "male" and "female" not showing up among the top suggestions. Previously we ranked by number of sitelinks. We will change this to the maximum of sitelinks and labels. So if an item has labels in many languages but no sitelinks like "male" and "female" it will still show up high in the suggestions. (T94404)
 * Discussed how to move forward with identifiers. Outcome: They should get their own datatype. (T95287)
 * Implemented arbitrary access for the parser function. This can be invoked on the wikis that have arbitrary access enabled by using  . So far this is only Wikidata itself.
 * Did further performance work on the client (Wikipedia and co) in preparation for arbitrary access
 * Improved the performance of wbgetentities significantly when loading a large number of entities
 * Wrote more browser tests for different datavalues
 * Further work on RDF mapping and dumps
 * Fixed in other language box showing old data (T90893)

 * Added language fallback for the tooltip on badge icons
 * Monthly Tasks
 * Hack on one of these.
 * Help fix these items which have been flagged using Wikidata - The Game.

Support request with team editing experiment project
Dear tech ambassadors, instead of spamming the Village Pump of each Wikipedia about my tiny project proposal for researching team editing (see here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Research_team_editing), I have decided to leave to your own discretion if the matter is relevant enough to inform a wider audience already. I would appreciate if you could appraise if the Wikipedia community you are more familiar with could have interest in testing group editing "on their own grounds" and with their own guidance. In a nutshell: it consists in editing pages as a group instead of as an individual. This social experiment might involve redefining some aspects of the workflow we are all used to, with the hope of creating a more friendly and collaborative environment since editing under a group umbrella creates less social exposure than traditional "individual editing". I send you this message also as a proof that the Inspire Campaign is already gearing up. As said I would appreciate of *you* just a comment on the talk page/endorsement of my project noting your general perception about the idea. Nothing else. Your contribution helps to shape the future! (which I hope it will be very bright, with colors, and Wikipedia everywhere) Regards from User:Micru on meta.
